Not quite ready to call it a night? Keep the celebration going with our Late Night Afterparty! After the main event winds down, guests are invited to head down to our cozy on-site pub, where the lights stay low and the spirits stay high.
Enjoy a relaxed, festive atmosphere with late-night bites and beverages available until midnight. Whether you’re sharing a nightcap, grabbing a snack, or hitting the dance floor one more time, it’s the perfect way to end an unforgettable day.
STRESS-FREE PLANNING TOOLS
Planning a wedding should feel exciting—not overwhelming. That’s why we offer streamlined planning tools, trusted vendor recommendations, and expert day-of coordination to help you every step of the way.
Our in-house coordinator, Adrienne, is here to guide you through the process with care, insight, and calm confidence. From creating timelines to making key decisions, she ensures every detail comes together seamlessly—so you can actually enjoy your big day.
“Adrienne helped coordinate our event and she was an amazing resource and support for making this wedding happen. We are so incredibly grateful for her help, and she made putting together a wedding in 3 months feel easy, with recommended timelines, vendors, and of course her very appropriate guidance on our wedding day.”
