Marquee Wedding at Holker Hall Estate in the Lake District
“Lauren & Simon’s wedding began with a beautiful church ceremony at Cartmel Priory before guests made their way to the marquee reception at Holker Hall. Despite torrential rain from morning to night, the day unfolded seamlessly thanks to a whole series of backup plans that kept everything on track. It turned out to be an incredible celebration, proof that with the right team (and a lot of preparation), nothing can dampen the atmosphere of a truly great wedding.”
“Our daughter got married in June 2024 and we were very fortunate to have been recommended Jess by our marquee company. We had got quite far along the planning route when I realised as mother of the bride that I wanted to be able to enjoy the wedding day and the build up to it without being overwhelmed with everything.
My husband was quite sceptical at first about why we needed a wedding planner. This was mainly because he hadn’t quite grasped what was involved, but after meeting Jess he was onboard 110% and he, like the rest of us, thinks she is fantastic and money well spent.
Jess is an experienced professional who has a very calm approach to everything. She expertly coordinated with all our suppliers – of which there were many and all of whom were brilliant! She and her team (hello & thank you to the other Jesses) came the day before the wedding and set up the marquee. We went along to give a hand, but she had everything covered. She even had a kettle & made us all a cuppa! They came to the church rehearsal and then went back to the marquee to continue with the set up which enabled me able to spend time with my daughter and our family and friends, stress free, the night before the wedding, which is something which I would not have been able to do without her being onboard.
Unfortunately, the weather on the day wasn’t great . After glorious sunshine the day before, in true Lake District style, it rained on the day. We were so confident and comfortable with Jess’s advice that we trusted her to her to make the last minute decision if the drinks reception would be inside or outside. She, together with Fran from Holker Hall, managed this beautifully and our guests have said that they were quite pleased it rained as it enabled them to have a look around the beautiful Holker Hall.
Jess and her team were very professional and at the same time warm and friendly and it genuinely comes across how much they love their work.
We had the most fantastic & fun wedding party and all our guests have said that this was the best wedding they have ever been to. I do believe we had the dream team of suppliers.
Thank you so much Jess, it wouldn’t have happened without you.”
