After leaving the Church into glorious sunshine the wedding party made their way to Casterton Grange.

Charlotte and Freddie hired a Sailcloth Marquee from Original Marquees creating an airy open space filled with florals from Flower Design Events down their long trestle tables. When the guests were asked to make their way to the tables they were welcomed by the Phat Cats Band who then played on throughout the meal – it was one of the most energetic wedding breakfast we have been a part of!
