Stress-Free Style: Wedding Table Styling Packages & Enhancements

Why a Last-Minute Wedding Might Be the Best Decision You Ever Make When most couples start planning their wedding, they picture a year or two of preparation, endless spreadsheets, supplier searches, and decision fatigue. But what if we told you that some of the most magical weddings we’ve hosted at The Barn at Pengelly have come together in just a matter of months? That was exactly the case for Kerry and Crispin, who tied the knot with us this summer after deciding just two months before that they were ready to make it official. A Full-Circle Love Story Kerry and Crispin first visited Pengelly back in 2022, just before we opened our doors and had planned to hold their wedding with us in 2023, but as life often does, unexpected circumstances and the arrival of a new family member meant their original plans were put on hold. Fast-forward to June 2025, and they decided it was time to make their dream day happen, setting the date for August 2025. With just eight weeks to plan, our team jumped straight into action. How to Plan a Wedding in Two Months Pulling together a wedding in such a short time might sound daunting, but with the right venue and support, it can be stress-free (and surprisingly fun!). At Pengelly, our team helped Kerry and Crispin every step of the way, from finding last-minute suppliers to styling the décor and ensuring every detail felt personal to them. One of the biggest perks of a short lead time? Supplier availability and last-minute offers. Many of the brilliant local florists, photographers, and stylists we work with often have discounted rates for dates still open in their calendar, meaning couples can save without compromising on quality. Kerry & Crispin’s Kind Words “You have been nothing but amazing from the first original wedding date and were so understanding and supportive when we had to reschedule and find a new date that worked for us. From start to finish your team were outstanding, nothing was ever too much trouble! From helping us find last-minute suppliers to setting up the décor exactly how we wanted it, everything was just perfect and seamless. We honestly wish we could relive the day again, by far the best service and venue we could ever have dreamt of.” Captured beautifully by I Do Film Photo, Kerry & Crispin’s day was filled with joy, relaxed elegance, and that special kind of energy that only comes when everything just clicks into place.

You’ve booked your venue and now you have to start planning the timescale, so how should you time your day? If booking your wedding with us we give all couples access to an online portal that is personalised with their event schedule, we even create a timeline for you to work with based on your booked ceremony time.

Did you know that the period between Christmas & Valentines is very well known in the wedding industry as “engagement season”. This is because around 35% of all couples get engaged every year across these dates! That means there is a whole group of newly engaged couples who are thinking ‘what now?!’.
