When you book the Friday night before your wedding day you are guaranteed to have access to the mansion almost all day on Friday. You will be able to come in during business hours 10 am – 2 pm to decorate, drop off anything you will need for your wedding day, work with your caterer to see if they can come in early and set up the tables and chairs.

Come back later in the evening with your wedding party, their significant others and your close family and friends to work our the last minute details to ensure everything runs smoothly the next day. Then start the celebrations early with a dinner that can be casual or formal, whatever style you choose you will secure in the knowledge that all is ready for your wedding day.
