Venue
Stillingfleet Village Institute. We had the most amazing steak and seafood barbecue by our fantastic caterers, Marian Catering. They own the Blacksmith’s in Naburn, and, after many an enjoyable Sunday there, we knew they were the only possible candidates for the job. They even got us special Wychwood beer wedding tshirts and hand-pull labels – I didn’t know that’s how the brewery started, when someone brewed beer for a friend’s wedding
Cake
A three-tier stacked with three different cakes – fruit on the bottom, then sponge and then chocolate, made by my friend Julie, from Perfect Day Bridal, in Malton
