From first meeting Holly & Jack, the brief was clear- create a wedding to capture Holly’s Yorkshire heritage while also nodding to Jack’s in Baltimore US. They wanted to treat their guests to a party of a lifetime marrying elements of all that they love in themselves and from their backgrounds, set in gorgeous surrounds for a Euridge Manor weddng. A year of planning commenced…
The wedding of the year- started Friday with a sneak preview for the Bridal & Groom party, guided walk through the surrounding countryside ending in a rehearsal lunch in Euridge’s secluded hunting lodge. Party to follow at the Roman Baths for all the guests.
Saturday, the wedding day arrives- a misty start before a day bathed in Autumnal sunshine, framing a quintessential English wedding in the Cotswolds at Euridge Manor. Their first look and personal vows took place under the chandelier in the gardens followed by a blessing at the Boat House. Drinks on the main lawn- hot toddies, fire pits & blankets taking the chill off as the evening set in. Time for the wedding breakfast in the clear roofed marquee with beautiful hanging foliage garlands and softly lit lanterns. Long feasting tables with warm autumnal hues of golds and greens- providing a magical setting. Finally a fusion of British & American food interspersed with captivating and heartfelt speeches (with many a tear shed).
Then party time- everyone headed up to the Lost Orangery & terrace where they danced ‘til they dropped. Rest breaks taking in custom drinks, al fresco photobooth fun and ‘Jim’s tuck shop (in loving memory of Holly’s grandfather)’. A beautiful celebration for a beautiful couple!
We feel truly lucky to have met them- Holly & Jack were not only clients but have become great friends- this is the reason we do this work, because without any connection, there is no meaning! Our work enables us to meet so many amazing people, naturally becoming part of the couple’s special journey towards marriage. Holly & Jack’s journey and story had its challenges but was fabulous to see them having their well-deserved fairy tale ending. Two incredible people who live for the moment and we feel honoured to know them.
An exceptional venue on the edge of Bath and the beautiful Cotswolds. Catering at Euridge Manor and The Lost Orangery are always highlights of our year, when we work with the estates hidden dining spots and take advantage of the local produce on our doorstep.
Year round Euridge Manor is one of the best wedding venues to get married and we look forward to more weddings in 2024.
