What are the closing times for the bar and music?

Decorations FAQs

Are fireworks permitted outside?

Yes, please ask the Re-Form event manager for details.

Are living flame candles allowed?

Whilst we do allow candles outside, they cannot be used in any inside space for safety reasons.

Are we allowed confetti?

Bio-degradable confetti and rice are permitted in the outside areas only.

Can you provide any decorations?

As each wedding is unique, we encourage couples to decorate the room themselves. We try to be flexible but there are certain things due to heritage status that are not permitted (i.e., the use of candles indoors). All decorations must be hung with string and no permanent fixings such as drawing pins, screws etc are allowed. You can potentially use the beams to hang decorations, however, there is a weight restriction. Please speak with your Re-Form Heritage event manager to discuss your options.

Do we need to pack everything up at the end of the night?

Yes, whilst we can give you access the day before the ceremony to set up the rooms, we would require most of your belongings to be packed up at the end of the day of the event. However, we don’t expect you to remove hanging decorations late in the evening. The site will therefore be accessible to you from 9am on Sunday if further dress down time is required before the site opens to the public at 10am.

Can we reset room layouts during the day?

We know how much hard work goes into making each room special and that is why we advise against changing layouts throughout the day. Our rooms have the flexibility to be decorated entirely to your tastes so please discuss your ideal layout with the Re-Form event manager at your meetings.
