From the moment Julia + Matt began planning their wedding, they envisioned a garden venue where the ceremony and reception could flow seamlessly.
They dreamed of a short, intimate ceremony, a cute garden cocktail hour, and a sit-down dinner for their guests all on the same beautiful property.
Flowers played a central role in their vision, and with the Lost Florist’s help, their ceremony became a stunning focal point that perfectly complemented the natural beauty already existing at the Manor.
Their love story, which began when they met while working as baristas, inspired them to hire a coffee cart offering pastries and hot drinks for their cocktail hour. This unique touch honoured the beginnings of their relationship, and passion for sharing coffee with loved ones in their home.
From the Bride
Did you have any hesitations about working with a wedding planner? Initially, I wasn't sure about it because I still wanted to participate in all of the decisions and always loved the idea of wedding planning, but I’m glad I did because it meant I got to do all of the fun decision-making but didn't have to deal with the logistics and follow up.
What was your favourite part of your Sparrow Service? I had zero anxiety the whole wedding day. I knew that all of the vendors could be trusted to show up and that if anything were to go wrong it would be taken care of and I would never have to know about it. I don't know if anything did go wrong on the day but if it did, I certainly didn't notice!
What are your fondest memories of your wedding day? One of my fondest memories was having a nighttime photo shoot with Emma going the extra mile for a good confetti shot.
What was the best decision you made when planning the wedding? Any advice for future couples? The best decision we made early on was to pick a couple of things that we really cared about to spend big money on, and to go budget with everything else. It meant that the things all of the guests were talking about were the things we loved most, and we got a more personalised wedding because of it.
