Stock Brook Manor Brides??

Hi Mrsfermortobe,

Huge congratulations on setting a date! I haven't been to Stock Brook Manor yet but was just interested to know
whether they enforce their own/recommended suppliers on you or whether you are free to source your own?

Good luck with your plans!

Stock Brook Manor is just gorgeous! Went there last year and it's just lovely.

As far as suppliers are concerned, have you talked to the venue about what you get included from the suppliers? For example, is the photographer there all day or just for a few hours? How many final photos are you going to receive etc. These are all questions I would perhaps ask the venue as there may be a catch involved. Try and meet with their Photographer and see how you get along, and most importantly, whether you like their work. It's also an idea to start looking at outside independent suppliers to weigh up costs etc and also for you to decide on exactly what type of style photography you're looking for, what sort of cake you want and things like that. Good luck

I've been to Stock Brook a few times. But I don't know anything about the suppliers. However, I would use a Toastmaster! Everyone I know that uses them says they just kept everything smooth running and calm.

Hiya!

If you're talking about Dan Casson the photographer, he's really good, provided you like his style of pics! I've known him for years. He certainly knows his stuff.

The staff at Stockbrook are so good that you honestly don't need a toastmaster. They'll make sure everything runs as smoothly as it possibly could, they're all very professional.

Hi,

My sister got married at Stockbrook Manor and didn't have a toastmaster and everything ran very smoothly-it was perfect so I guess it's just up to whether you want one or not (you certainly don't 'need' one in my opinion) I'm not sure which photographer she used but I'll ask.

Em

Thank you

They give you a list of recommended suppliers, but you are free to use your own.

Thanks very much - will have a look at those photographers

Thanks very much Pete. I thought as much re the toastmaster but wanted some feedback

Thanks Emma, would be interested re the photographer - thats very kind of you. Seem to be getting the same feedback regarding the toastmaster, so think we might give that a miss...

Thanks Katie V

Thanks Laura. Only just booked the date a the weekend so have lots and lots of questions. Thanks for the heads up - we will certainly ask.

I'm not sure who the recommended TOG is to be honest, I just had a peek on the website and it just said "coming soon". I'd like to think they'd not be recommending anyone pants though. As long as you like the work of whoever it is, that's all that's important. If you're happy with the standard of work they produce, meet with them, have a chat and see how you feel. See some full galleries, look at some other togs, meet them too and see how you feel

SBM is a gorgeous venue though, my partners little brother and sister had their leavers prom there yesterday evening and I was rather envious of the fact they were spending their evening there.

(Oh Bonnie, i've just seen this! Thank you for the mention my lovely ?

Hope you, the man and the little fur baby are all well!)
