Louise & Olly

Louise and Olly first came across Ivy House when they attended a friend’s wedding here in September 2018, and both agreed that the venue would be perfect for the type of day they wanted.

When Louise’s mum saw our Sunday and midweek offer, they decided it was time to make an enquiry. Soon afterward they booked their wedding for the August bank holiday weekend 2019.

 
 
 
 

With just ten months to plan their big day, the first thing Louise did after confirming the date was to book her dream photographer, Kathy Ashdown. We can see why! The photos are absolutely beautiful. Louise and Olly found a lot of their suppliers through a wedding fair. From florist to venue stylist, fairs are a brilliant way of seeing a lot of local suppliers and getting a good idea of what is available.

Louise met with her venue stylist, Charlene from Goldsmith’s Weddings and Events, to discuss chair covers and sashes, blossom trees, other centre pieces, photo booth and LED post box and she really delivered. Louise made and sourced the table plan, table number and place setting herself, for the personal touch.

 
 
 
 

“Book it and you won’t be disappointed. The venue has such a lovely relaxed feel yet still feels special enough for your wedding day. Hannah and the team are so helpful before the event and during the day itself you won’t need to worry about a thing as its all taken care of behind the scenes.”
