Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - Page number 46 - November/December 2021 (Issue 34)

The catering was really important to us.We decided on three different canapés followed by antipasti for starters, a choice of beef, chicken, or gnocchi as the main course and an afternoon tea stand for dessert. After dinner, our guests enjoyed tea, coffee, and cake in the garden followed by pasties later on. – Chloe and Manu TOP TIP: “Book an engagement shoot to help feel at ease in front of the camera and get to know your photographer. Mel Roach from Maxi Photography demonstrated how she would be taking pictures on the day so that we knew what to expect.” – Chloe and Manu As the sun set, we gave everyone sparklers before heading inside to relax by the fire. Our guests loved the garden games – Jenga was a huge hit! A family friend played the saxophone while everyone mingled in the sunshine after dinner which created a wonderful atmosphere.
