I attended a family wedding recently at the Village hotel, On arrival the guests were greeted at the entrance marquee, they were not allowed into the garden and had no choice but to stand around the car park as there was not enough room for everyone in the marquee, a few guests found their way to the garden and were asked to leave, an explanation given later was the garden is off limits at 9.30 this was the middle of the afternoon, very embarrassing for the bride and groom, The function room was chosen as the wedding venue as it opened into the garden and this was the selling point when it was booked, the curtains were drawn the entire time even though it was a lovely summers evening and some guests noticed the shutters were down on the windows behind the curtains. We did not even see the garden for the entire day except for the one or two guests who were asked to leave and had a photo of the lovely garden. Very disappointing for the bride and groom who worked so hard to have the perfect day.
