Arrival
One of our members of staff will be waiting to receive the newly-weds and congratulate you both with a glass of bubbly. Weather permitting this can be on our grand lawn or as you enter Elm farm.
Greeting
Your co-ordinator introduces the wedding party into the room. Traditional order is :- Bride's parents, Groom's parents, bridesmaids, groomsmen, maid of honour, best man, flower girl, ring bearer and lastly the newly-weds. If you like we can arrange a toastmaster for you to ensure the day runs smoothly, or if you prefer a more relaxed approach, then please ask your co-ordinator who will be pleased to take up the role for you.
Speeches
Before the meal, the best man can toast the happy couple. If you are having more than three or four speeches it may be more entertaining for your guests to have them in-between courses or to do them all together after your meal.
Mingle
After dinner this is your time to move into the garden's and mingel, before your evening guests start to arrive. make the most of the time to relax a little and speak to those rarely seen relatives. You may also want to use this time to change into something more comfortable and freshen up, or even a chance for some photographs.
Evening
You will be invited to your newly laid room, receive your evening guests, and have your first dance as husband and wife, then both sets of parents and, finally all your remaining guests as the party gets underway. For your evening guests we can arrange food or snacks to your requirements, be-it buffet or banquet we have all the options for you, just speak to your co-ordinator.
Here at Elm farm every aspect of your special day can be arranged exactly how you want it "YOUR WEDDING YOUR WAY" We pride ourselves in being able to organise every detail of your day for you, or if you prefer, we can leave it entirely down to you.
