It's National 'Time to Talk' Day 💛

The perfect time to shout about one of the best things about small weddings!

Deciding who to invite to your wedding is not easy, especially for smaller celebrations. Your guests are super important people, so spending time with them is part of what makes your wedding day so special.

From the timings on the day to the design of our wedding spaces, our intimate wedding venue is designed to bring everyone together.

Because it's good to talk 💛

What is a 'micro' wedding?'

Our gorgeous micro weddings aren't called 'micro' because they're small.

They're 'micro' because they are short and sweet 💛

If a full day wedding just isn't for you, but you want family and friends to share the moment, a 3, 4 or 5 hour celebration is the perfect choice.

A beautiful wedding ceremony, time for photos, and a relaxed drinks reception in a stunning location.

And because we plan and organise every detail, you can have your cake and eat it too (all you have to do is decide on the flavour!)

Get in touch to find out more, and share with someone who might just be searching for their perfect wedding style.

The best memories are often the simplest ones 💛

It's a look, a touch of the hand, a gesture... these are the tiny shared moments that make the best memories.

A wedding photographer isn't for everyone, but they are AMAZING at capturing these little precious snippets of time that tell the story of your wedding day.

And don't worry if you're naturally camera shy. your wedding photographer will simply work their magic.

Here's a few moments of wedding day gorgeousness - enjoy!

What do you picture when you think of a summer wedding?

The warmth of the sun as you step onto the aisle?

The gentle hum of laughter and clinking glasses as your guests enjoy games on the lawn?

Or the romance of your first dance as the sun begins to set?

A summer wedding at Cote How has its own kind of magic.

Don't just dream it. Let’s make it happen 💛

If we could give every wedding couple one piece of advice, it’s this: trust your choices.

It's hard not to second-guess your decisions when you're planning a wedding, BUT no one knows your wedding style or vision better than you do.

Don’t overthink trends — go with what feels right for you.

Not every guest will notice the tiny details, but they will feel and remember the love and joy!

Your wedding day will be beautiful because it’s yours. 💛
