The Great Hall team concluded our week with the wedding of the lovely Louisa and David, who booked our premier wedding venue in October 2010. Here at The Great Hall at Mains, we like to ensure that we are always available to couples throughout the stressful planning stages. After hearing about David and Louisa’s plans for the day at their various meetings with us, we were ever so excited when Sunday 4th December finally came around and we could bring their Silver and ‘Twinkle’ theme to life.
First to arrive at The Great Hall was David, who looked the part in his silver grey suit (and very happy too!), followed by the arrival of guests who posed for pictures in the bar area whilst waiting for the arrival of Louisa.
Kelly from Flutterby Couture provided the couple with a marvellous wishing well for guests to place cards on arrival!
The hall looked truly magical once we had put the finishing touches to it. The white chair covers with silver organza hooded bows, and white chandelier drapes were provided by the excellent team from Creative Cover Hire, headed by Dawn.
Flower Design always provide stunning floral pieces and David and Louisa’s wedding was no exception, with the fabulous wintery pedestals framing the fireplace and adorning the hall, with a subtle scattering of glitter in all the right places the white, silver and twinkle theme was complete and we were ready to greet the bride.
As guests took to their seats and David took his place at the end of the aisle, Louisa arrived at The Great Hall with her father. Louisa’s Bridesmaids were waiting on the terrace to escort her down the aisle, looking lovely in their silver grey dresses and fur stoles to keep the December chill at bay!
Louisa made her way down the aisle as Maxine Molin-Rose softly played the harp in the background. After the all important vows had been exchanged, we were able to grab some snaps of the happy newlyweds as they signed the register.
While the new Mr and Mrs Weingard mingled with their guests and posed for pictures, the team from The Great Hall worked swiftly to turn the room around in preparation for the wedding breakfast, aided by the catering team from the ever professional Twelve Event Management.
The seating plan, guest book and table stationary were also supplied by Flutterby Couture, and followed the wintery theme beautifully.
Twelve – as always – served up a feast, with a warming vegetable soup to start, followed by an exquisite looking roast beef dish and finished off perfectly with a dessert of Crème Brulee, strawberries and shortbread. Yummy looking or what?!
Following the sumptuous wedding breakfast, DJ Rob arrived courtesy of Camscott Leisure to set up for the evening’s celebrations.
Before we knew it, it was time for David and Louisa to take centre stage once again to cut their very special cake, which was made by a friend of Louisa’s Mum. After having a little nibble on the cake, the couple took to the dance floor for their first dance, joined by their friends and family after a short while.
Louisa and her father also had a little dance together, which certainly went down a storm!
We wish David and Louisa all the very best and hope they have a fab honeymoon on their cruise with Royal Caribbean! It was a real pleasure for us to play host to their special day here at premier wedding venue The Great Hall at Mains.
