THE CEREMONY

9:30pm - Suppliers arrive to set up while the bride and her maids get pampered with breakfast delivered to the door. Morning mimosas anyone?

12pm - The bar opens where the groom can mingle with guests and enjoy a nerve-easing nip of whiskey before heading to the stunning ceremony space, the Threshing Hall

BARNSTORMING BEAUTY:

Dating back to the 18th century this inspiring space has an unforgettable ambience with festoon lighting and the most gorgeous overhead trajectory for perfect pictures.

1pm - Ready for the ultimate aisle entrance? The bride can journey straight from The Coop, down the brand new purpose built staircase and onto the aisle. Minimum wind-ruining-hair moments, maximum impact.
