Your West Midlands Wedding - June/July 2023 (Issue 86)

Alveston Manor is local to us and is a beautiful venue with lovely gardens and rooms. I liked how much was included and sorted for you. The staff were so accommodating, and Jen couldn’t do enough to help. She made sure everything ran smoothly and nothing was a silly question or too much to ask. We chose a three-tiered cake from Victoria’s Sponge Henley. It was made up of chocolate, lemon and Victoria sponge and was topped with figures of us and our dog, Otto. Our venue provided our three-course dinner with hot dogs and chips in the evening. Dom arrived at the venue in his dad’s black MG. We didn’t want a top table as it felt a little old-fashioned for us, so we opted for round tables so everyone could talk easily. Our centrepieces were gin bottles filled with lights that we placed on round mirrors. We decorated the space with a flower wall, drapes and love letters. We also hired a light-up dancefloor for the evening, which everyone loved. 22
