Claire and John had the amazing Silverholme Manor for their wedding venue with Tipi’s from Special Events Tipi on the lawn outside. We had a lovely two day mid week wedding with them starting with a BBQ buffet.

Having a pre event is the perfect way to relax the nerves for the bride and groom and it brings everyone together to share memories and create new ones with the closest of family and friends.
