Claire & Owain

When we met, Claire and Owain had already booked Harewood House for their ceremony and reception. We chatted for a while, and I realised Claire wasn't quite comfortable with having her ceremony in the House.

I suggested we use the church in the Harewood grounds. It isn't a working church, so I found a Vicar who was willing to help, and auditioned a choir so the ceremony could really sing. After the wonderful service, guests were welcomed onto the magnificent Harewood terrace with a Dixie band. Owain is passionate about beer, so I suggested he create a bespoke beer menu for the event. The reception room was filled with beautiful English flowers and Gypsophila hung from the wooden beams, creating a magical cloud effect.
