THE CONSERVATORY AT DAPHNE S Inspired by the vibrant and beautiful colour palette of Italy, the conservatory roof opens in summer to create a sunny, alfresco feel; in winter, a blazing fire in the open hearth turns it into an intimate, cosy retreat. The conservatory seats up to 60 guests theatre-style for the marriage ceremony, and may be transformed after the ceremony into a space for drinking and dancing.
THE RECEPTION No-one knows how to throw a party like the Italians and at Daphne s, the attention to detail is second to none.
