With the weather warming up and the nights becoming lighter it is clear to see that summer is approaching fast, which hopefully means the weatherman has ordered lots of sunshine. Summer and outdoor weddings go hand in hand, here is a concise guide of what your summer wedding at Hockwold Hall could have in store for you.
Outdoor Ceremony
Picturesque walled gardens, beautiful, lush greenery and idyllic flowers surround Hockwold Hall in full force during the summer months. The jewel in the crown for summer weddings is the licensed outdoor ceremony area which is picture perfect with its banjo shaped hedged area leading to the stunning Garden Pavilion, this is the perfect location to say, ‘I do.’ This charming outdoor area has seating for up to 240 guests meaning there is plenty of space for everyone to witness the wedding of the year!
Drinks Reception/Garden Games
After the ceremony why not enjoy even more of what the walled gardens have to offer by having a drinks and canape reception on the lawn. Thirst quenching summery drinks/cocktails can be served ice cold to guests whilst they mill around the glorious tranquil grounds. Garden games can be played by the children and young at heart while the wedding photos are being taken. There is just a pure sense of freedom during an outdoor wedding ceremony, the gardens are so large guests will feel that there are no constraints and feel free to wander and explore, this is brilliant for children too as they will get to see the many colourful free roaming birds the estate has to offer and be able to play until their hearts content.
