Millbridge Court November Soiree…
On Sunday we hosted our November Soiree, welcoming back our wonderful couples to see Millbridge Court brought to life & meet a handful of our Millbridge Court Partners.
Our Brides & Grooms were welcomed in to our cosy front lounges with refreshments that included a ‘Monarch’ cocktail (gin, elderflower gin, peach bitters & mint) & refreshing elderflower with autumn berries & mint. They were then invited to move through to our Barn’s where we had Leslie’s Cakes & Milk Street Kitchen displaying their gorgeous luxe, autumnal sponge cakes & macaroons.
Creating breathtaking tablescapes in our Dining Barn were Jay Archer Floral Design, Paula Rooney & Carrie Macey (The Topiary Tree). Each had a table, which they dressed in such wonderfully varied & inspiring ways showcasing their different styles perfectly.
We were so lucky to have Estilo String quartet serenading our guests throughout our Soiree underneath the most breathtaking floral archway created by Jay.
Judy Broad exibited her incredible calligraphy by displaying such inspiring escort cards, place card & favour ideas & even gave some of our couples mini tutorials. We also had the fabulous Bubblegum Balloons bringing such an element of fun & drama to our Ceremony Barn.
The wonderful Cakes by Krishanthi showcased the most exquisite array of luxurious, wintery Wedding cakes each varying in size & so flawlessly decorated & designed. The level of detail is simply phenomenal.
We had the fabulous Amore Make-up & Carolanne Armstrong doing mini hair & makeup trails to our lucky Brides throughout the day. Offering such an interactive experience is something that we felt was so important for our Soiree & created such a buzz in our lovely Bridal Changing Suite. We were also so lucky to have the immensely talented Darren Campbell wowing our couples with his mind-blowing tricks as he mixed & mingled with everyone throughout the day.
Thank you so much to our wonderful MC Partners who exhibited their work so beautifully & thank you to our fabulous couples for coming to see us all. An extra big thank you to VLA Photography who snapped, edited & sent us back his images of the day so speedily. Thank you, Jon. As ever it was so fabulous to have you with us chatting to all of our Brides & Grooms.
Now all that’s left to mention was the exceptional & inspirational food by the newly crowned Regional Winners at The Wedding Industry Awards, Kalm Kitchen but no amount of descriptive words could possibly express how utterly amazing their display was, so I’m just going to have to let the photos by VLA Photography speak for themselves…

Tasting Evenings at Millbridge Court
On Wednesday evening, we had the pleasure of hosting the most spectacular Tasting Evening here at Millbridge Court for a handful of our wonderful couples.
On arrival, our couples were treated to an array of gorgeous canapés in our cosy front lounges where glasses of Prosecco & Sloe 75 cocktails were circulated. We were then so excited to welcome everyone in to our Dining Barn where we had banqueting tables positioned down the middle of the room, decorated with the most exquisite Autumnal blooms by the incredible Carrie Macey & made extra special with beautifully crafted place cards handmade by Judy Broad Calligraphy.
The wonderfully talented Harpist, Tori Handsley, serenaded our guests as each Bride & Groom tasted an array of beautifully presented plated starters, main courses followed by one of our dessert options. Everyone was then invited through to try mini desserts from our Patisserie Boutique, which was elegantly put together by the Team using Carrie Macey’s breathtaking floral arrangements.
Here’s just a few snapshots of the gorgeous evening!
