What are the timing restrictions for Garden weddings and receptions?

What spaces are included in a wedding booking for 50 guests?
For 50 guests, the wedding package includes the Prince's Room, Snow Room, Garden and Garden Room, plus exclusive access to the beautiful Courtyard for photographs. The Garden provides a tranquil setting with physic plants, flowers and shrubs as a backdrop for the reception.
Is there a bar service available and how does it work?
Yes, there is a bar service available that can operate on either a cash basis or account basis. The Lavender Package includes specific drinks (welcome prosecco, wine with meal, prosecco for toast), but additional bar services can be arranged for extended celebrations.
What happens if weather affects an outdoor Garden wedding reception?
If weather conditions are unfavorable, arrival drinks and reception activities planned for the Garden can be moved to the Garden Room instead. The Garden Room serves as a covered alternative space while still maintaining the botanical atmosphere of the venue.
How far in advance should wedding bookings be made and what is the booking process?
Wedding enquiries should be made as early as possible as BMA House experiences high demand. The venue offers site visits to view the spaces and discuss details, and couples can book video calls with the wedding planner to discuss their special day and finalize arrangements.
Are there any restrictions on decorations or entertainment for Garden weddings?
While specific decoration restrictions aren't detailed in the available information, the venue does provide uplighters and PA systems for background music. The Garden's existing botanical features with physic plants, flowers and shrubs provide natural decoration, and the space is designed to complement rather than require extensive additional decor.
