Planning Your Wedding

The first stage will be to book the Church or, should you decide on a Civil Marriage Ceremony, your Registrar and our Reading room. Once the ceremony is arranged you can then book Eshott Hall for your Wedding Reception.

If you have chosen a civil ceremony, Eshott has several options to suit you needs. Plan and discuss your day with your Wedding Coordinator. Arrange a tasting at Eshott to taste your chosen menu. Book your entertainment and extras with help from Eshott (in order of priority: florist, photographer,

transportation from the Church, wedding cake, and evening entertainment). Send your invitations three months prior to your Wedding. Before your Wedding, your detailed co-ordination will be conducted and a bespoke Wedding Plan compiled

and sent to you. Prior to your Reception, we invite you to meet your Master of Ceremonies, along with your Co-ordinator to

have one last run through a final order of events for the day. Your Wedding Day has finally arrived...Enjoy!
