Gemma and Alejandro

This wedding was full of energy! Gemma and Alejandro had their family and friends from all around the world join them at the beautiful Town Head Estate! 

Gemma and Alex started their day with our team delivering them a breakfast hamper to all the cottages. This helps create a relaxed atmosphere for the morning whilst everyone is getting ready!

Breakfast 

Selection of Mini Pastries
Fresh Fruit Salad Pots
Granola, Greek Yoghurt and Berry Compote
Cumbrian Back Bacon
Cumberland Sausage
Free Range Eggs
Sourdough Rolls
Small loaves of Fresh Bread
Butter and Preserves
Ketchup and HP Sauce
Orange Juice

We have thought of everything you will need to enjoy your breakfast so you don’t have to think about it! This can be one less thing on your to do list!

Gemma and Alex got married in the Wedding Barn which had been decorated beautifully with florals by Freerange Floristry.

After the ceremony the guests made their way outside to create and epic confetti tunnel for Gemma and Alex to walk, kiss and dance their way down in celebration! After our team started serving a selection canapés chosen by the Bride and Groom to all their guests. Whilst we served the canapés Gemma and Alejandro were whisked away by their photographer Jo Greenfield who was also their Videographer! Jo took them around the grounds of Town Head to get some incredible couples portraits, they even got temporarily outshined by one of Town Heads 4 friendly Donkey Oz. Oz is the youngest of the 4 and the most Mischievous!

During the drinks reception the barn was turned around for the Wedding Breakfast, the table plan was a few round tables and then long tables in the big barn. This is a great layout for larger wedding parties and creates a more relaxed atmosphere. The florals and details from the ceremony were used for the table scapes.

It was soon time for the Wedding Breakfast … But first speeches! Gemma and Alejandro were flooded with love and memories with 4 speeches from their closest family and friends which was a great way to start the meal.
