Can I customise the packages?

Our packages have been designed with simplicity and ease in mind, but we are happy to custom quote if you have something more bespoke in mind.

Can we use an external caterer or BYO alcohol?

Our in-house caterer specialises in event dining experiences and your custom catering quote goes towards your minimum spend. We allow small amounts of BYO alcohol in addition to our packages, and for a small fee, you can chat with our team about how this works.

Can we do our own styling?

Our in-house team The Goodsmiths come highly recommended. You are able to include their styling services in your package as a bolt-on option. Alternatively, you can use your own stylist.
