Gardens
At Priston Mill we are
only 7 miles from Bath yet surrounded by beautiful countryside. Not only can
this be a great backdrop for wedding photos, but we have attractive landscaped
gardens too. As you can imagine, there is always plenty to do all year round to
keep these gardens tidy. We are lucky to have Stephen, Les and Dean to call on
to help with this.

Amazing
Here we are on October 31st and the weather is amazing. The autumnal colours and blue sky are a real bonus for the weddings, and for couples viewing the Tythe Barn or Watermill this weekend.

Last Minute
We managed to help out a wedding guest at the 11th hour last week. She phoned on the day of the wedding wondering where she could get a wedding present from, ideally a picture of the Tythe Barn. Luckily we had a print in stock. She rushed over, having just bought a frame, and within the hour the picture was framed, wrapped and given to the happy couple….

Deadlines
This week we had deadlines of a different sort - nothing to do with completing wedding brochures, confirming bookings, collecting final numbers, sending out mailshots etc. Honor, who is currently holding first place for senior moments in the top office (see photo bottom left), has been on her annual mission to collect Christmas Gift Boxes for ‘Aid Ukraine’ from Judy, Sandra, Kim & myself. If I didn’t have to replace the rather tempting packet of sweets, my box would be complete by now.

Fantastic Wedding
The ever-ebullient Mr “It’s My Turn, It’s My Turn!” Romain Ferriere had his day this Saturday. As well as wonderful weddings at Priston Mill this weekend I can vouch that there were fantastic wedding celebrations in Galway when Event Manager, Romain, married his fiancée Aileen.
It was a very happy occasion with a moving service, a candlelit reception in an old Irish castle, delicious food and wines, great company, live music, disco and much much more. Congratulations and best wishes for the future to Romain and Aileen!
Luckily for us the venue is too far from Priston to be competition!

Chair Covers
Occasionally we are
asked about chair covers. Our advice is that if you do decide to have them please
order the covers from one of our recommended companies. This will give you peace of
mind knowing that the covers will fit well, are clean, and the sash bows are
tied attractively....

the scenes ‘behind the scenes’ this week......Updated, new improved, waste disposal

The Filling Station
Priston Mill became the new centre for a large number of people when the first Filling Station here opened on Tuesday. There is every intention for this to become a regular monthly evening meeting place. (For more information -

Excellent Wines
Having enjoyed sampling a wonderful but priceless 1993 Grand Cru Clos des Lamrays, whilst wine tasting in Burgundy, I am now more conscious than ever that the wines we offer at Priston Mill are very good value - excellent wines at affordable prices. Our 2009 list starts at £12.35 for Coldridge Estate (South Eastern Australia) Semillon Chardonnay and the Coldridge Estate Shiraz Cabernet.
On reviewing our selection of wines with renewed interest following my return from Beaune, I was pleased to remind myself that we have a couple of white Burgundy choices too - Macon-Lugny, Louis Latour at £16.50 and Chablis, Domaine Vocoret at £18.50 a bottle. Perhaps, purely in the interest of the business of course, I should remind myself of their taste......

Stairway to Heaven
I don’t expect the Bride
this weekend will notice, as she sweeps up the stairs to take her vows on the Tythe
Barn mezzanine, that a smart new carpet has been laid. She will no doubt have eyes just for the Groom. However, I am sure it is
this attention to detail that attracts new couples to book wedding with us - as they see for themselves our
dedication to continually maintain and improve standards.
