October at Sutton Bonington Hall

This Autumn has been incredibly beautiful, we love seeing the trees in the garden change colour.  It creates a fabulous setting for our events.

This October Sutton Bonington Hall hosted a Christening Lunch and a corporate event as well as the weddings each weekend. 

We hosted a wedding that had been organised from New Zealand on the 5th, our Groom saw Sutton Bonington Hall for the first time just a few days before his wedding!

The following day our couple brought an Asian theme to their wedding.  The cake they had chosen was really colourful - a real taking point. It matched the bridesmaids saris too

For the evening, instead of the usual evening buffet we served a variety of curries in hand sized bowls.  It's a perfect warming supper for a chillier autumn evening, all the guests really enjoyed it.

October also say Michele Gledhill return to the Hall to dress the conservatory for a wedding.  Michele created a fantastic look for our couple, it really came alive as the sun went down!

Towards the end of October we hosted one of our most intimate weddings for a lovely group of 14 guests.  Those privileged enough to be invited had a truly special day and were treated to a fantastic menu including a pan-fried fillet of Derbyshire beef, wild mushroom gratin, roast garlic mash and seasonal vegetables.

We also opened our doors for an Open Afternoon - with lots of visitors, some who have already booked their wedding for 2013 and some who we hope will choose Sutton Bonignton Hall
