The information below details how we recommend your day to be arranged, particularly with respect to the order of events.
On arrival you will be greeted by one of our wedding team who will guide you smoothly through the day.
We suggest an official line-up to welcome your guests consisting of: Bride’s Mother, Bride’s Father, Groom’s Mother, Groom’s Father, The Bride, The Groom, Best Man, Chief Bridesmaid and Bridesmaids.
The guests may take reception drinks while the Bride & Groom have any further pictures taken.
Guests are invited to sit down and the Bride and Groom are officially presented. Grace may be said before the meal.
It is customary For the Bride and Groom to cut the cake after the main course. The cake may be served with the coffee and/or with the evening buffet.
After coffee the Brides’ Father is asked to propose a “toast“ to the Bride and Groom.
The Groom is then called to reply on behalf of his wife and himself, finishing with a toast to the Bridesmaids. Other speakers may be called upon at this point.
The Best Man now reads the cards and messages of good wishes, and may speak and propose a toast if desired and thanks the couple on behalf of the Bridesmaids.
