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

My aunt made personalised napkins for our guests, name cards and menus with everyone’s individual choices on. Woodhall Manor was gorgeous and had plenty of space for our guests. The rooms and the grounds were immaculate! We really enjoyed the venue’s menu tasting day, where we tried some of the courses, pre-drinks and wine. The venue manager, Lorraine, and wedding coordinator, Beth, were incredibly helpful and we couldn’t have done it without them! We also really liked that the venue had a separate bar and dancefloor to separate the night and day. Everyone really enjoyed it there and we still talk about it now! For our flowers, we chose an assortment of white and pink blooms from Susettes Flowers. Our centrepieces were white flowers in a mixture of tall and short vases with sequin tablecloths. For our food, we gave our guests a choice of mushroom fricassee, ham hock terrine, or sweet potato and chilli soup to start. Beef bourguignon with mashed potatoes and vegetables; pan-fried chicken with potato gratin and vegetables; or onion tart were the options for the main. For dessert, there was a choice of honeycomb cheesecake, a lemon tart and chocolate pave, or a chocolate brownie. Cake By Louise made our five-tiered pink, white and green bake which was decorated with flowers and gold leaf. 30
