Sweet things for all
Treat your guests to a pick and mix and set up an old fashioned sweet shop at your wedding reception. Simply fill glass candy jars and containers with sweets of your choice and allow guests to scoop their sweets into coloured paper candy bags to take away. Or glam it up and have a dessert table, with cupcakes, cake pop and other treats on displayed on cut glass cake stands and in crystal bowls. Here at The Sheene Mill we have a collection ornate glasses and jars perfect for your Sweetie Buffet / Dessert Table. Prices start from £3.50pp Please ask your Wedding Coordinator about our offer.
Upgrades & Extras
It’s all the small touches that make each wedding more unique from the next. Whilst Sheene MIll invite our Bridal couples to let their imagination go wild we do also have lots of equipment and items that you can hire for a fraction of the price of purchasing new. Why buy a cast iron post box for your wedding cards when you can hire one from us for as little as £30? It is extremely heavy to lug around and the last thing you want to be doing on your wedding day is worrying about where your guests cards will be stored. So it’s fair to say that we have thought of everything from cocktails to canapes, marquees to umbrellas etc. See our upgrades and extras page for pricing…
Quick Fire Wedding Planning Tips
Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone on call 24/7 in the run up to your Wedding to let you know what you should be doing and when, to have them haggle the best price for your Wedding flowers, to tell you where to get the most amazing cake from and to near enough do everything and anything that is remotely linked to Weddings? Well unfortunately for some or should I say the majority of us, we don’t have this luxury so we have to rely on good ol’ common sense, the world wide web and our trusted friends and family. To help you along the way, here’s a few thoughts to get you going and to give you even more to think about. 1. Set your budget – know your limits, don’t splurge for the sake of it We all know Weddings aren’t the cheapest things in the world and as much as you try to be strict with yourselves when you decide to pay an extra £100.00 for the photographer to stay for your first dance and an extra 50p for cute little favours and extra money behind the bar for everyone to get even more drunk on […]

Benefits of a weekday wedding
Getting married on a Monday isn’t traditional, but it is a growing trend. More and more couples are waking up to the potential of a weekday wedding and with good reason. There are several great incentives to considering a weekday wedding. Here are just a few. Price. A midweek wedding is often cheaper than a weekend one. Take for example our Monday Marriages promotion whereby you can have a completely exclusive wedding for a mere £3995. This promotional is available to book until the end of 2015 and applied for weddings being held in 2015 – 2016. Availability. Even booking a year or so in advance, competition is still extremely hot for a Saturday here. By considering a weekday wedding, you’re opening the calendar right up. You could get the venue you want, the date you want at the time of year you want. All with much less competition than with a weekend. Plus, if you’re getting married at short notice, you are unlikely to get the weekend you want. At The Sheene Mill we get booked a year or so in advance! A Monday wedding is much easier to schedule. Services. It isn’t just the wedding venue that is […]
