Your East Anglian Wedding - August/September 2024 (Issue 68)

Love al fresco Tie the knot in a venue with a glorious garden THE MEADOW GARDEN, CB6 3HN 07974 579 775 | www.themeadowgarden.com The Meadow Garden is a four-acre private oasis on the edge of the historic city of Ely. This natural garden has a surrounding hedgerow, wild roses, trees, tall grasses, a wildlife pond with a bridge and a weeping willow tree, which looks stunning in photographs. In the garden, there is a gazebo that can be used for a ceremony with rustic wooden benches for your guests. There is also a wooden moongate as an alternative choice for ceremonies or a photo backdrop framing the natural scenery. There is romantic lighting in the garden, which looks amazing by night, as well as outdoor seating. There is a toilet lodge in the garden, which provides ladies and gents toilets in a rustic chic style. Incorporated into this lodge is a family toilet with baby change facilities, which can also be used as a changing room, accessed by a ramp. Celebrate in style Entering through double wooden doors, the Celeste Pole Marquee is a large 24m x 12m marquee that provides an enchanting space for up to 175 guests. With its panoramic straight sides, giving a true open-air feel, and a usable 250 square metres of floor space, the marquee provides ample room to incorporate niche areas for sofas, carts, photos, etc. The 23 wooden centre poles, lit with thousands of twinkling fairylights and lanterns hanging from greenery-draped ropes, create a magical ambience for your celebration. Natural wood tables and chairs to seat up to 175 guests, a choice of head table or sweetheart table for two, and three highchairs provide a flexible style to seat your guests. An artificial grass floor blends beautifully into the surroundings when the marquee sides are removed, and set into this is a dancefloor on which you can dance the night away. The Meadow Garden offers a ‘Blank Canvas’ hire package and allows you to choose your own caterers, or you may choose one of the ‘Food Inclusive’ packages where the venue has teamed up with a local, quality catering company to be able to offer couples a catered option at The Meadow Garden. We love... Couples can hold their ceremony outside, surrounded by the simple beauty that nature provides as a backdrop. With exclusive use of The Meadow Garden for your celebration, where magical twinkling lights draw you from the inside to the outside in seamless transition, it’s a beautiful space to enjoy with your guests, maybe with garden games or Pimms on the lawn. www.fountainphotography.co.uk www.eloiseandmitch.com www.johnwoodwardphotography.co.uk 25 GLORIOUS GARDENS
