GLORIOUS GARDENS Barnsdale Gardens is offering 25 per cent off venue hire for the last remaining 2023 wedding dates. Tucked away in the heart of Rutland, the stunning property provides a dream setting for al fresco events. Couples have multiple backdrops to discover, with 38 individual gardens offering something special, no matter the weather. The dedicated and experienced team works with couples to bring their dream day to life. They understand each wedding is special and keep the packages flexible to meet different requirements. The staff also ensure the spaces are kept to a high standard to create pictureperfect backdrops. Use the manicured lawns for group shots, capture romantic pictures in the Woodland Walk and Japanese Garden, or the Allotment is the perfect destination for quirky shots. The Arbour is the focal point for wedding ceremonies. Set in a private garden area with mature trees and lush flower beds, up to 120 guests can witness ceremonies from the lawn area in front. Receptions occur on the grounds surrounded by beautiful views. Those exchanging vows this year will be able to celebrate with the team, who are celebrating the venue’s 40th anniversary. BBC Gardeners World presenter Geoff Hamilton founded the property in 1983, and his son Nick Hamilton now continues his father’s legacy.

She focuses on the beauty of those in-between moments and genuine smiles while capturing photos without guests even realising. The wedding packages available include bronze, silver or gold – each can be tailored to suit specific requirements. Robyn says, “I truly believe your photographer should be someone you don’t have to think or worry about. It would be an honour to capture your special day for you.” Check out: www.reallifebyrobyn.co.uk WINNING IN LOVE The Peak Edge Hotel has won another wedding award, and the team couldn’t be more thrilled to be recognised for their hard work and dedication. The property is located in Derbyshire’s beautiful Peak District National Park and offers an elegant setting to celebrate special events. Fully licenced for civil ceremonies, lovebirds can exchange vows in the Oak Room or the Walton Suite surrounded by loved ones. Guests will love exploring the charming spaces and can rest their heads after dancing the night away. The Hotel, part of the Casa Hotels Group, has been shortlisted in The 2023 Publican Awards in two categories, Best Drinks Offer and Best Premium Food. The chairman and founder of Global Brands and Casa Hotels Group Steve Perez comments, “I’m incredibly proud of our teams who have all worked tirelessly to develop our drinks and cocktail range with the help of some of the industry’s leading experts in our sister company Global Brands. I’m especially proud to be nominated for Best Premium Food Offer at the Red Lion Restaurant at Peak Edge Hotel, which my father owned and successfully ran in the 70s, and I repurchased it into the family five years ago. Our ethos is to produce the highest quality of sustainable food, most of which is sourced from my farm just two miles away. Executive chef Ben Peverall works closely with Craig Ellis, my farm manager, to produce the ultimate field-to-fork food for everything from beef, lamb, pork, eggs and honey from our bees.” Discover the popular Hotel here: www.peakedgehotel.co.uk www.amandaforman.co.uk www.marieansonphotography.com 10
