Titchwell Manor weddings always make us a feel a bit guilty… Like, we are at work of course but it feels like being on holiday! This cosy wedding venue sits in amongst the very best of North Norfolk’s coastline between our two favourite beaches at Brancaster and Old Hunstanton. The venue is a 19th century farmhouse and associated buildings, all carefully restored to 21st century standards. Titchwell offers loads of gorgeous rooms and outstanding (Michelin guide standard) food. Best of all though, are Titchwell Manor weddings!

So, we were chuffed to hear from Isabella and K-Ryan who’d fallen in love with each other and then Titchwell and were planning their wedding. On meeting we knew straight away this would be a lovely day out with wonderful people – and we were right. Inbetween our first meet and the wedding, Isabella and K-Ryan wanted to get comfortable with the idea of being in front of the camera – they were epic. Here’s their engagement shoot in the rain! Now though, the story of the wedding as told by Isabella.

What was the plan for your Titchwell Manor wedding?

We’d wanted garden party vibes with lots of colour, lots of flowers and lots of gold stars. A subtle space theme was non negotiable for K! Actually we started planning straight away (October 2023) as the weekend after K proposed we were heading down to Norfolk. Coincidentally there were lots of open days for some lovely venues so we went for it!

We booked the venue first, looked round some gorgeous venues but we fell in love with Titchwell Manor and loved the idea of photos on the beach! Then we started looking at lots of different suppliers. Next on the priorities was photographers. Both of us did a lot of research on google and Instagram and as soon as we found Lisa and Neil’s Instagram page, we knew we didn’t have to even think about enquiring about anyone else. Lisa and Neil’s website was so easy to use and once we’d spoken them we knew we were in good hands from day one. They were so kind and so knowledgeable! (Book them!!! Book them!!! Book them!!!)

We then booked the florist, hair and makeup and DJ. We did lots of research and after some great recommendations we found our people and they were all absolutely wonderful!

We had a day out in Cambridge and were having a drink in a pub garden and there was a wedding going on upstairs and we heard the most wonderful string quartet playing ABBA and for Isabella… this was now non-negotiable! So that was more of a last minute decision but we’re so glad we did as they created the most magical atmosphere ever!

Additionally another last minute booking was to hire some props as Isabella found the most incredible moon backdrop and knew this was a necessity and perfect for K’s love of space and Isabella’s theatre background, it looked soooo coooool!!!

What was the most memorable moment of the wedding?

Our sunset beach photos !!! Duh!!!! 😎 my god when we came round the corner in the car and saw the sunset reflecting off the sea. It felt so magical and we knew these photos were going to be absolutely epic!!! Of course Lisa and Neil worked their socks off and we now have the most amazing photos to cherish forever!!! (Note from Lisa and Neil… we’d literally never seen a Norfolk sunset or seascape like it, staggering, wow…)

Best laughs on the day?

Isabella: All the speeches, especially K’s of course!

K: Neil’s reaction to my Star Wars pants! 🤣

Any tears?

Isabella’s Nanny wrote and read a poem out for us and it was absolutely beautiful.
Also, as we’re moving to America it was very poignant having everyone we love in the same room as it was the last time we were going to be seeing some of our favourite people for a long time!

Favourite photos of your Titchwell Manor wedding day?

We love the fun one with our grooms men and bridesmaids it really captures the mood of the day and how good we all looked!!!😎

We of course also love every single sunset photo and will never be able to pick a favourite!!

If you planned the day again, would you make any changes?

No. Just put it into slow motion as it went so fast! We wouldn’t change anything ❤️
