Tips for your Special Day

Consider parking and access, especially for those who are less mobile.

Is it suitable to set up chairs, shade etc – is it level, sandy, muddy?

Weather on your wedding day – will it be hot/cold/rain/wind/shade

Alternate arrangements in case of inclement weather on the day.

Do you need access to power for drinks, food, music and lights.

Are there toilets close by or is this something you will need to arrange

Is it in school holidays or are there any events on in the area that may make it difficult to book accommodation?
