Our first Wedding - Jono and Lucy May 26th 2012

It seems a lifetime ago now but back in May 2012 we hosted our first ever Wedding at The House Meadow.

The lovely Jono and Lucy had booked their Wedding with us right back when the meadow was nothing but a damp, cold, muddy field. Somehow with their exceptional vision and imagination, accompanied by our mood boards and diagrams they too thought that The House Meadow could be a really special place to hold their Wedding.

Months and months went past and the meadow slowly but surely became all that we had promised.

Jono and Lucy booked some amazing suppliers - many of whom we have worked with since and really believe create a Wedding "Dream Team".

Venue : The House Meadow

Photographer : Anna Marie Stepney

Teepee's : Beautiful World Tents

Caterer : Home Gurr'own

Florist : Idyllic Days/Tiggy Johnson

Lucy chose to walk through the Wild Flower Meadow with her maids and Father to finally greet Jono under the Oak Tree

Such a beautiful Confetti Shot

Florist, Tiggy Johnson, provided the couple with their stunning flowers

Caterer, Nicci Gurr of Home Gurr'own, created the couple a bespoke menu to fit with their Kentish Countryside style using local ingredients and incorporating the couples favourite flavours

The stunning teepee's were hired from the lovely Beautiful World Tents

The Tug of War was great fun for all the gents (and a couple of ladies!) and really made use of the space in the Meadow

The Couple chose the band "Stitched Up" for their evening entertainment but for earlier in the day 2 members of the band played acoustically for the guests

Happy New Year

Thank you all for an amazing 2012! Cannot wait to see what 2013 holds for The House Meadow.

Spring is around the corner

It's been a very long time coming but today it really feels like Spring isn't too far away.

The first of the daffodils and crocus' are starting to peep through at the base of the trees in the woodland which is so lovely to see. This time last year you wouldn't have believed me if I'd have told we'd be in this position 12 months down the road. It's taken a lot of hard work and we're by no means finished but The House Meadow has come such a long way. It's only when you take a moment to look through all the "development" photos we've taken long the way that you realise how far we've come. We're starting to feel a sense of achievement and that's only going to get stronger the more the sun shines and the pretty flowers and trees grow.

Also, yesterday saw the completion of our bespoke designed Gazebo. We totally love it. It suits the venue perfectly, rustic charm at its best. Granted we still need the grass to grow around it, but I'm sure you'll agree it will be the most perfect spot for a Humanist Wedding Ceremony.

Our completed Gazebo

We've had a bit of a celebration this weekend at The House Meadow (my little brothers birthday) and although it's not at all comparable to a wedding, seeing a group of people outside, in a beautiful space and enjoying the fresh outdoors makes you remember what a wonderful venue we have here, and please note, this is in February...May onwards will be so much better. So exciting.

Autumn Leaves

So, "Summer" is over. I'm not really sure when it actually began this year, but, we are officially moving into Autumn days and we love it. Although it's the beginning of a more dormant period for us, it does create the a best time to prepare the ground with seed and bulbs just waiting for Spring to creep up again so the Meadow can burst into colour. Exciting! Before I wish the months away though I thought we should appreciate the bronze tones that the Meadow is throwing our way now, it is b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l.

Check back next month for news of our upcoming Photo Shoot with AphroditeNet.
