Elements for a Great Barn Wedding Day

One of the most delightful surprises of the day was the appearance of an Only Fools & Horses van, a nod to Chris’s fandom. Gemma couldn’t resist this touch which added an element of fun and nostalgia to the celebration, making it even more memorable for their guests. The van served as a great photo opportunity, and guests loved posing next to it, capturing the joyful spirit of the day.

Food and Drink

When it came to food and drink, the couple was thrilled with their selections. “The food was amazing from the beginning to the end,” Gemma noted, especially appreciating the venue’s ability to cater to her gluten intolerance.

The incredible Heritage Venues staff and on the day events team at Lillibrooke Manor played a significant role in ensuring the day went smoothly, allowing Gemma and Chris to focus on enjoying every moment.
