Woodland or Cartlodge Feasting…. What’s your favourite wedding breakfast location?

13/06/2024

Okay, Let’s start with the basics of wedding planning…

Planning a dry hire wedding should begin with getting the logistics in place.. please trust us on this one.

It may be the boring side of wedding planning but it’s more important to get this right than concentrating on just the pretty stuff alone.

Otherwise… and this is often the case, last minute you’ll discover that your poor suppliers have organised a delivery or collection to/from site and unfortunately, we aren’t able to accommodate the request.

We aren’t usually available outside of your venue hire hours or you’ll discover that there’s no power points where you need them to be or we can’t accept a last minute family request to bring in your own drinks. The list goes on.

Keep everyone in the know regarding your contractual requirements to make sure things run to plan.

Hands up, our contract reads like a novel but it contains a whole host of really useful, detailed info to help your day run smoothly.

Any suppliers coming onsite during your wedding hire, need clear instructions from yourselves. They will need to provide their own public liability insurance, PAT testing, hygiene certification (our own public liability insurance demands this)

Think about power/water placement throughout the gardens and woodland. We have no power supply in the woodland, although there are water points.

We supply you with all venue area measurements to help when it comes to creating table plans, ceremony spaces etc.

If any wedding planners out want to add any more tips for a dry hire wedding… add them in the comments. There’s quite a few I’m sure.

Look out, next we’re going to be talking On The Day Co-ordination! My favourite subject.

🌳 🍃 August Woodland Weddings. 🍃 🌳
The deciduous woodland changes month by month, with May being the greenest by far. As June falls we return to warmer months but an earthier woodland floor.

As the sun begins to set on your wedding night, we’ll light up the firepit, ready for your guests to toast marshmallows & s’mores. An undercover, seating area with a smokeless firepit. 🔥🔥. During the day, a great space to use as a photobooth or Chillout area.
