Please note that after 5pm on the day of your event, we will only allow plastic glassware to be used on site.
What access do we have to the venue before & after our event? As part of the package(s) we give couples and their families one full day prior to the event to set up and decorate (from 9am - 5pm) and ask that the day after all items are removed and the venue cleared of any decorations by 1pm. This would also be applicable for any external hire companies providing entertainment or equipment. We try to be flexible so should you wish to extend this time we can arrange this in advance.
