Describe the best wedding that happened at The Old Lodge, Minchinhampton?
We had a wedding where the couple wanted a completely chilled vibe with people free to eat what they wanted so we created charcuterie rivers as their centre pieces and had a band playing throughout the day, the groom's band then played in the evening and everyone was extremely happy, chilled and full of cheese!
