Hi!
We're planning on marrying Aug/Sept 2014. We really want to keep it small (less than 50 people, 15 of whom will be children).
We want it to be really family orientated and so as relaxed, informal and fun as possible. We really want everything on one site, and I like the idea of close family being able to stay the night before and the night after. We want to sort the catering ourselves and aren't bothered about a dancefloor etc because going on the guest list, I don't think that's going to be needed. We just want a lovely intimate ceremony, and then all be able to chat over food and have a laugh afterwards. We really want something outside (weather permitting), so were thinking a barn with cottages so the kids can just play. We're in Derbyshire, although we don't mind travelling, esp if there is accommodation to make a weekend of it for everyone.
Has anyone come across anything on their travels that sounds suitable? So far the places we've looked at are trying to include too much 'stuff' that we just don't need, or they look perfect but can't do the ceremony.
Please help!!! I honestly thought something small like this would be easier to sort out, but it seems I was completely wrong!
Thank you!
