Here is what the couple said on Whimsical Wonderland Weddings Blog….
The Vision for the Day…
We had soooo many different ideas for what our wedding could be and viewed about 12 venues in total including the Barbican and Richmond Park that were both close seconds. We both knew we wanted to have a relaxed feeling to the wedding with a venue that could provide lots of fun, but that maintained the importance of the day and some of the formalities.
When we saw Nonsuch, we just knew it was perfect. It reminded us very much of seeing our first flat together in that Peter was like an excitable child saying ‘I want it’ and I had tingles in my toes but trying to play it cool so not to blow our budget. The overall vision for Nonsuch was that we wanted to make it feel like our house for the day, and welcome our guests in to share its beauty.
The Venue… Nonsuch Mansion, Cheam, Surrey.
As we said above we fell for the venue instantly, Jade Tombs was our wedding planner and Grace co-ordinated our day. They were an absolute dream, guiding us along the way, giving us tips on working with suppliers or making decisions about food etc. and nothing was a problem on the day. It really felt like a natter with friends each time we saw them.
The venue is stunning with large grounds and therefore a summer wedding would be stunning here, however the fireplaces inside are magnificent and never dreaming of a summer wedding Peter and I just fell in love with a November wedding, warm fires, hearty food!
The catering company Bovingdons that own the house are awards winners for their food and rightly so, guests praised the food and one or two even managed to sneak an extra portion!
Advice for Other Couples…
… My best advice is take in a few moments maybe as you sip your drink and look around, take in what you can see because we have the most beautiful memory of a full Nonsuch Mansion filled with our friends and families having such fun and feeling so much love in the room, it sounds corny but it is the best feeling ever that Peter and I made that happen out of our love for each other.
