Autumn weddings don’t get nearly enough credit! For couples looking to avoid the height of wedding season and embrace a uniquely charming backdrop, autumn is a beautiful choice. Just ask Carla and Alexander! These two lovebirds knew from the start that they wanted an autumn wedding, and they couldn’t have had a better day. With fewer couples vying for venues and vendors at this time of year, Carla and Alexander found the planning process to be a breeze. They discovered the perfect farmhouse venue, surrounded by a delightful carpet of crunchy leaves and kissed by the crisp autumn air.
The ceremony, itself, took place inside a rustic barn, decorated with soft lighting, flickering candles, pumpkins, and a gorgeous cascade of artificial autumn leaves pinned to the beams. The cosy, earthy tones made the whole place feel like a warm autumn embrace, with just the right hint of magic. But the decor wasn’t the only thing that had everyone buzzing. Hog Roast Penrith, the catering heroes of the day, had worked tirelessly all morning to prepare a mouthwatering feast fit for the occasion.
Carla and Alexander’s menu was pure comfort food heaven, with whole-roasted sirloin of English beef complete with Yorkshire puddings and rich red wine gravy, plus tender, sage-butter roasted turkey paired with homemade stuffing and tangy cranberry sauce. And for the veggie lovers, there were BBQ-pulled jackfruit rolls, loaded with smoky flavours and topped with a gourmet plant-based slaw. The spread didn’t stop there. Guests loaded up on an assortment of sides, including a crispy Thai salad, golden roasted new potatoes, and a fresh tomato and mozzarella salad bursting with basil, hand-torn buffalo mozzarella and juicy beef tomatoes. Hog Roast Penrith made sure every dish was as beautiful as it was delicious, and the guests were blown away. When it came time for dessert, Hog Roast Penrith served up slices of the couple’s beautiful wedding cake, adding fresh berries, a zesty fruit coulis, and English cream. Guests cosied up with hot chocolate, tea, or coffee to finish, which was the perfect ending to the crisp autumn evening.
As the night went on, Carla, Alexander, and their guests laughed, danced, and basked in the autumnal magic around them. For anyone looking to swap the summer madness for a laid-back, beautiful fall wedding, Carla and Alexander’s big day proves that autumn is the perfect season to tie the knot.
