Working with you –
to bring your ideas to life


We have been helping couples make their dreams come true for over 25 years – and the single most important thing we have learned is that every wedding is different. Everyone at Layer Marney Tower will work with you, ensuring that your wedding dreams become reality.

Everybody’s tastes are different – particularly with regard to music! That is why we encourage you to choose your own band or DJ, florist, photographer, cake maker and much more. Having said which, we are often asked for recommendations… Listed here are some of the suppliers we have enjoyed working with and who have had good feedback from our wedding couples.

All of the catering is organised by Bouquet Garni. In the interests of safety, all fireworks must be arranged through Dynamic Fireworks.
