We ask that all guests are seated by 4:30pm in the back garden. Please silence your phone for the ceremony. There are no designated "sides" so sit wherever you like. Feel free to take photos from your seat (send them to us at brideandgruber@gmail.com too!) but please be respectful of the ceremony and the hired photographer.
Reception
Immediately following the ceremony, we will have a cocktail hour with hors d’oeuvres on the Mansion’s Portico and/or First Room (weather/temperature dependent). Following the cocktail hour, we will have drinks, dinner, dancing & dessert.
Adults Only Event
We hope you can make it but we ask that you leave the little ones with your sitter.
