Evening receptions, post-ceremony parties, engagement dos and hen celebrations with the people who make the gin. Tell us what you're imagining and we'll be straight with you about whether the Smiddy suits it.
We host one celebration at a time, and Saturdays book up to a year ahead. So it's worth checking your date early, before someone else takes it.
