The setting for an unforgettable welcome dinner at

The setting for an unforgettable welcome dinner at Heckfield Place—a tablescape layered with detail, elegance, and the beauty of the season.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our approach to table design is about more than aesthetics; it’s about creating an experience that invites guests to slow down, connect, and savour the moment. For this intimate gathering, soft florals in muted pastels spilled across the table, flickering candlelight cast a golden glow, and delicate linens framed each place setting with a refined touch. Every element worked in harmony to reflect the surrounding landscape while elevating the sense of occasion.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As the weekend unfolded, this was just the first of many moments designed to immerse guests in a celebration filled with warmth, style, and unforgettable memories.

For Melissa and Matthew, the wedding dinner was designed to be an immersive experience, where every detail was carefully considered to create a sense of refined beauty and warmth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A soft sage green draped canopy enveloped the space, creating an intimate yet open feel within the clear marquee, allowing guests to take in the breathtaking autumnal gardens. Overhead, vintage crystal chandeliers cast a soft, romantic glow, while the Superfly trio from @alrmusic performed from three mirrored stages, adding a layer of unexpected enchantment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each place setting was a study in understated luxury—from custom round menus in deep green with white foil to bespoke suede napkin rings, a detail we carefully designed in collaboration with @intricatecreations.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was a setting that exuded romance and refinement, drawing guests into an unforgettable evening. But little did they know, the celebration was far from over—hidden in the gardens, an entirely new experience awaited them. Because the most extraordinary events are those that unfold in layers, each moment more magical than the last.

Tucked away within the walled garden of Heckfield

Tucked away within the walled garden of Heckfield Place, a sunlit glasshouse set the scene for a leisurely family picnic luncheon—a celebration of love, legacy, and the simple joy of gathering together.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With a farm-to-table feast served beneath trailing vines, guests dined at tables dressed in patterned linens, their pale blue and lemon hues echoing the lush summer palette of the season.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Freshly cut florals, bursting with delicate wildflowers and fragrant herbs, brought an organic, effortless charm to the tablescape, while hand-painted stationery tied every detail together with understated elegance.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adding to the magic, a fun roaming band moved between the tables, serenading guests with soulful melodies and impromptu singalongs—turning a relaxed afternoon into a memory-filled celebration of life’s most treasured moments.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A gathering filled with warmth, laughter, and the timeless beauty of Heckfield’s exquisite surroundings.

Some celebrations are best experienced in motion—laughter rippling through the air, champagne glasses clinking, and music weaving its way through a sun-drenched glasshouse. This family picnic luncheon at Heckfield Place was one of those moments.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Set within the walled garden, guests gathered for a beautifully relaxed affair, where farm-to-table dining met effortless elegance. Pale blue and lemon-hued florals danced in the breeze, patterned linens softened the space, and the warm glow of summer wrapped around every cherished conversation.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A roaming band brought an added layer of joy, moving between tables, encouraging impromptu singalongs, and ensuring the energy never wavered. With every note, every shared glance, and every bite of the exquisite seasonal feast, this gathering was a true reflection of what we love most—thoughtful, immersive celebrations that linger in the memory long after the last song has been played.
