A morning church ceremony followed by a seated brunch at an historic mansion.  A plated first course is presented to the guests, who are then ushered to a buffet with carving and omelette stations, waffles with assorted toppings, and a full continental selection.  The white linens are topped with organza overlays and centrepieces made of fruit and flowers in silver bowls, and mini lights twinkle on tropical plants placed around the room.  You cut your wedding cake, and then guests toast with mimosas as your wedding party make their speeches.  A classic reception used by the Royals and aristocrats, and a budget friendly alternative to an evening banquet.
