Visiting our venue recently for our meal tasting was great, as it gave me another little sneak peek at our room and the details that we’ll be seeing for ourselves soon enough. In case you missed it, this is the beautiful building from the outside.

The room has changed slightly since we originally booked it: the dance floor that was once off to one side has been shifted into the centre of the room. Thankfully, the rest of the details are all still the same—the antique mirrors, the cozy fireplaces, the floor to ceiling windows…

Our space was set up for another wedding, so the tables were arranged with the couple’s chosen favours and menus, but even still, you can see the general idea of how the room will be set out. The gorgeous draped ceiling with fairy lights is the main feature of the room, and looks absolutely stunning.

Then there are our centrepiece options, which weren’t on display in the photo above. We’ve opted to have fairly low-lying vases, so we don’t obstruct the views across the table. (And no, I don’t think we’ll have floating balls in them.) They will be on the reflective plates with tea light candles, so they make a nice glow on the tables. Flowers aren’t included in our package, so we’re taking care of those ourselves.

The silverware and china will be the same as what we used at our menu tasting, so nice and simple. We won’t be having table platters, so it’ll look less ‘busy’ than it did on the night.

And one of my favourite included details are the chairs that the venue uses as standard in all its function rooms. We’re opting to have the simple ivory organza sash, as you can see below. I think they’ll be nice and simple, and will match the roof draping as well as the table linens.

What are some of your venue’s gorgeous little details?
