Your Planning Meeting
Around 3 months prior to your Wedding Day we’ll invite you to your Planning Meeting which is held at Pendrell Hall with the Events Manager who will be working on your wedding day.
This is a great opportunity to discuss your plans face to face and for the Events Manager to gain an understanding of how you’d like your day to run.
During the meeting the Events Manager will ask for details of which suppliers you have chosen, who your florist is, your photographer etc. We’ll establish the running order for your wedding day and get clarity over the timings.
We’ll also confirm your 9am drop off of all your wedding items, the day before your wedding, including any drinks you may be supplying and all your name place cards, favours etc.
Online Wedding Planner
Your Events Manager will then transfer all this information into the ‘My Wedding Day’ page of your personal section of our website and invite you to review it. It’s amazing how cathartic it is for you to see all your hard work come together in one cohesive document.
Your Events Manager will refer to this document throughout your wedding day so it’s important that you advise us of any changes or amends required, prior to your big day.
