So, what’s next?
Contact us to make an appointment for a personal consultation to discuss your wedding day plans, if you haven’t already done so.
We recommend allocating up to an hour at our headquarters, based at Parley Manor, where our Wedding Specialist will go through the finer details and answer any questions. You can book an appointment between 8.30am and 3.30pm Monday to Friday.
It’s then over to us to prepare a first draft function sheet, personal menu and detailed cost table which we will email you. These details can then be discussed and updated in the months leading up to your wedding.
To ensure we make the most of your time, prior to your appointment please read through our menu options so we can discuss in person and tailor to your requirements.
