Twenty-five years ago we said yes to each other in a small town hall, with eleven guests and a borrowed camera. This time we would like rather more of you there.
Come and eat well, dance badly, and stay late — the estate is ours until the small hours, and there is a bed for everyone who needs one.

Good to know
- Can we bring the children?
- Please do. There is a supervised playroom beside the Orangery from 18:00, and beds for the smallest ones from 21:00.
- Should we bring a gift?
- Only yourselves. If you insist, the estate is restoring its rose garden and we would rather your money went there.
- What about dietary requirements?
- Mention them when you reply and the kitchen will take care of it — vegetarian and gluten-free menus are already on the card.
