The Petit
Weddings have just gone petit!
This is how we started! One of our first weddings at The Chimney House nearly 13 years ago was a Petit Wedding... We remember it well - it was stunning.
Over a decade later - we've become famous for our Weddings at both The Chimney House and The Mowbray - but find ourselves taking inspiration from our early days to present magical times in turbulent days.
Petit Means...
...Even more beauty, bespoke styling and that feeling of exclusivity that is normally so hard to find these days.
We're wholeheartedly embracing Petit times - in the absence of scale - we're concentrating on this unique time to bring joy and unexpected pleasures - after all sometimes the best things in life come in little packages.
