Why couples pick this one
Because it is the whole day. Most venues hand you a room and a list of people to call. The Midimony is your venue, your planner, your florist, your caterer, your baker, your rental company and your coordinator, all in one place, with one contract and one person to text when you have a question at nine at night.
Fifty guests is the sweet spot. Big enough that everyone who matters is in the room, small enough that you will actually get to talk to all of them. And because Crystal is designing your flowers from the gardens right outside, nothing about it feels like a package.
Want more flowers?
If you have been saving pictures of enormous floral installations, look at the Maximony. It takes everything here and adds a full freestanding arbor installation, entry florals, large centerpieces, parent and grandparent florals, and two more hours on the property.
A note on drinks
Gateley Hill permits beer, wine & champagne only. No liquor or spirits permitted on the property.

Crystal and her team made our wedding day phenomenal. They went above and beyond at every turn and made sure everything was seamless. Could not have picked a better place.
