The practical record
Every number you will be asked for.
The page to forward to a caterer, a planner or a production company. No prose worth reading — just the measurements, the limits and the two rules, set down once so nobody has to ask twice.

The two rules
Nothing is fixed to the stonework, and amplified sound stops at two. Those are the only two things we will not move on, and they are on this page so that no supplier hears them for the first time on the morning of the event.
Anything else you have been told is impossible elsewhere — the horses, the eleven o'clock fireworks, the twelve-metre table down the lime walk — is a conversation. Ask early and the answer is usually yes.
Send anything this page does not answer to hello@maremont.com and we will reply within two working days. The day itself is described under weddings; the bedrooms are under stay.
