When you want to. We have no fixed rules. However, we like to try and avoid great stretches of time when guests get bored or drink too much. So a rule of thumb would be the ceremony, then 1 hour for drinks, canapes and photos, then eat.

We don’t have set menus. We start with the bride & groom’s favourite foods and work from there, creating bespoke menus that mean something to them. We then work the dietary requirements around that.

Regardless of whether Aunty Grace drinks like a fish and Cousin Frank is a teetotal, a great rule of thumb is ½ bottle of wine per person. If they want more, you can add or let them buy their own!

Whoever (you) want to and whenever suits you. As most of society does less public speaking than ever, most of our weddings have speeches before food so no one has to sit through the meal feeling nervous.
