Sophie and Robert

OH Sophie and Rob what a glamours weekend you created at Casterton Grange.

We were thrilled to cater for Sophie and Robs Pre Wedding Day and Wedding Day in June. Surrounded by the most incredible grounds of Casterton Grange they hired a sail cloth marquee from Original Marquees and flowers for days! From Brackens of Bowness.

Friday 

The night before the wedding Sophie and Rob hired our Vintage Trailer to serve a selection of Pizzas to 20 of their closest friends and family who were staying with the them the night before their big day.

Pizzas

Margherita Pizza
Prosciutto, Buffalo Mozzarella, Shaved Parmesan, Rocket and Balsamic Glaze
Chicken, Chorizo and Roasted Red Pepper Pizza
N’duja, Pepperoni, Buffalo Mozzarella, Red Pepper and Fresh Rocket Pizza

They all sat on the patio sharing memories and having the most fun and relaxing time before the celebrations began in the morning.

Wedding Day

Sophie and Rob had the morning to get ready before they made their way to St Bartholomew’s Church in Barbon. The church had been decorated spectacularly with white and green florals by Brackens of Bowness, creating the perfect back drop for photos with their photographer Camilla J Hards. Their videographer Leanne Perkins was capturing perfect pure little moments throughout toes day too.

When all their guests arrived back at Casterton Grange they were welcomed with a glass of Champagne by the bar team of the day Kindred Spirits and a String Quartet playing beautiful tunes throughout. This was also the time we started served a selection of canapés chosen by Sophie and Rob.

Canapés

Sweet Potato Bites with Spicy Avocado
Smoked Chicken, Apple and Tarragon Crostini
Wild Mushroom Arancini with Sun Blush Tomato Dip
Honey Mustard Sausages with Mustard Mayo

These were enjoyed by all the guests who were all glamorously dressed in black tie, this made Sophie stand out incredibly throughout the day and I’m sure in all the photos by Camilla.

The guests were invited down to the marquee for the Wedding Breakfast. Brackens of Bowness had worked their magic once again by bringing the florals from the Church back to elevate the marquee’s elegance. The entrance was flooded with fresh florals and the marquee had fresh vines hanging down from the top drawing your eyes to the incredible view. Sophie and Rob were so lucky with the weather the marquee sides were all up allowing an uninterrupted view and a fresh breeze.

As the guests entered The Phat Cats band brought the vibes as they sang some upbeat songs getting the guests in the mood for a party, they walked around dancing and grooving with all the guests.
