There is plenty of parking at the venue. Assuming we don’t have an event the next day, we have a fairly relaxed approach, as to when guests need to collect their cars in the morning. This is something that will be discussed with the couple and if there is an event the next day, cars would need to be collected by 11am, the day after the wedding.
