September in Sutton Bonington

September is always a busy month at Sutton Bonington Hall, and this year was no exception. 
Throughout the month we enjoyed a variety of different musicians entertaining our wedding guests.  Live music always adds a brilliant atmosphere to a wedding day.

Eleanor has played at the Hall several times before, and on a sunny Sunday afternoon she played through the civil ceremony as Hollie & Luke got married and then as the guests enjoyed a glass of Pimms on the lawn.



 

Later in the month after a civil ceremony Mango Acoustic had been booked to entertain the daytime guests prior to the arrival of their evening guests.  Luckily enough the weather was beautiful and Will and Charlie were able to set up in the gardens.

 

Our chefs as always served a wide range of delicious treats for our wedding guests.  A particular highlight being a fabulous white chocolate and raspberry tart - it's a perfect summer wedding dessert!

 

 

 



Weddings in March

We were honoured to host the weddings and/or wedding receptions of five lovely couples in March 2012.  Each wedding being very different, but all starting out married life together with hopefully lots of happy memories of their special day.

Early in March we welcomed Eamonn & Claire to the Hall, after the ceremony in the Drawing Room they were able to head into the gardens for canapes and photographs by FirstHand Photography.  We were delighted when Peggy informed us that our cups of tea were to her liking!

Throughout March we have seen some fantastic creativity from our brides, one of our brides, Ruth, had even taken the time to make paper flowers for her bouquets and the table centres.

We always enjoy seeing the various themes and colour schemes, including The Beatles, Fondant Fancies and a lovely springtime yellow wedding.

We were delighted to work with Martin Neeves for the first time at Sutton Bonington Hall, and we love to see as few of the photos he took at Valerie and Richard's wedding on his blog

Our chef Neil also served our new assiette of desserts for the first time in 2012 for Ian and Vicky's wedding.
