Celebrate in style For those of you looking for an outdoor ceremony and reception, you can say your vows in the wedding gazebo set in the open countryside. Your outdoor celebrations are protected from sun and rain in the stretch tent, which is fixed to the house during the peak season (May–September) and can accommodate 80 of your loved ones for the ceremony and up to 120 for the evening celebration. If the weather is unkind, the main function room is a gorgeous alternative and has large bi-folding doors that open to reveal the same stunning views of the surrounding area.
