In this episode of Yes to I Do, host Lydia is joined by wedding coordinators Louisa and Lauren for a slightly different kind of episode - one that puts the team themselves in the spotlight.

As well as breaking down what makes Coton House Farm such a special place to get married, the three of them share how they each ended up in wedding coordination - from trainee police officer to Burton Albion events team to Southeast Asia and back. There is also a behind-the-scenes look at how a wedding day flows through the venue.

Key Takeaways

Exclusive use changes the whole feel of a wedding day.

No strangers wandering in, no other wedding parties, no golfers being held up for photos. Couples have the entire venue to themselves from arrival to the last dance.

The room reveal is one of the most popular options for a reason.

Keeping the main barn closed until after the ceremony means the couple see it together for the first time - just the two of them, with a drink waiting and five minutes to breathe before the rest of the day begins.

The Twilight package suits a different kind of couple entirely.

No seating plan, no formal speeches required, no day and evening guest divide. It works brilliantly for relaxed couples, busy lives, second marriages and anyone who just wants to do something a bit different.

Transparent pricing saves everyone time.

All pricing is on the website. The team encourage couples to do their research online first and only book a show round when they already feel a connection - because traipsing around 100 venues helps nobody.

The family feel is not just a selling point - it is genuinely how it works.

Coton House Farm is a family business with the family on site. Couples pick up on that atmosphere from the moment they arrive, and it shapes everything from how show rounds feel to how wedding days are run.

Key Moments

"I slid the scrapbook across the table and said, look at this - I've done my homework." - Louisa on her interview

"Some people get starstruck on show rounds - I saw someone the other day and they were like, you do the podcast!"

"If you like the team, you want us to run your wedding. That's really what it comes down to."
