I chose Style Me Flowers specifically for the creation of a fresh flower crown / headband. It turned out beautifully, based on photos submitted and the colour palette requested. However I wish I was more specific and clear about flowers to be used, as I requested particular flowers as reference of symbolism and white orchids and eucalyptus were missing from the crown, buttonholes and corsages - and perhaps did not align to the total cost spent. Overall each floral piece was constructed well which held up when worn throughout the day. I would recommend use of this supplier but advise to be clear on requirements.

We discovered Haynello photography sifting through instagram hashtags and really feel we stumbled onto a talented photographer and beautiful persona (in Olivia). Olivia arrived quietly and respectfully and was easy going and very good at making us feel relaxed. She had suggestions for movement and background to our portraits that have turned out as though photos in a vogue magazine. My first reaction was ust "Wow!". We received "sneak peek" preview of a few images with impressive speed just a day or two after our ceremony - which was great to be able to share with family and friends. We had a ceremony during the morning and I've heard that afternoon sun is best - however it seems a mute point because the photos are exceptional and advice given for photography positioning was absolutely perfect. Highly recommend!

A beautiful venue no matter what setup you have, it really speaks for itself. There is unique charm for the estate and gardens that is hard to match. We chose to have no furniture, food, or decoration and enjoy the natural beauty with a mini ceremony package with a limited number of guests (due to COVID restrictions) and it was amazing! We enjoyed the public visiting the gardens whilst I ceremony went on and felt a special sense of being well looked after by our event coordinator provided by National Trust weddings (Katharine is excellent!). Little signage and way pointing notices of "private ceremony" added to the whimsical ambiance. If you're a minimalist, love plants and wildlife sounds with amazing back drops - you'll love this venue.

Elisa was simply amazing, especially since we didn't get a chance to meet until our ceremony day. She gave us direction and options for various parts of the ceremony script, accepted edits to her introductory address and sequencing of signing vs congratulations vs announcement of "husband and wife", as we preferred. She presented beautifully matching our attire, was relaxed but professional and not stuffy or over bearing. Elisa provided direction and support to us and family members at every step - clear evidence of solid experience. Her voice and public speaking is delightful and just the right level of vibrancy and genuine emotional sentiment anyone would want. Elisa really did a great job to make sure our guests joining via video call had the best experience , specifically by introducing herself & asking for interaction (both on site and via video), and ensuring camera positioning was perfect. Highly recommend!
