There is something truly enchanting about a winter wedding, especially when it takes place in a historic church filled with soft candlelight and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. BE Event Hire had the pleasure of supplying wedding furniture for this beautiful celebration, where both the ceremony and reception were held in the same stunning church. The result was a magical day that combined timeless tradition with elegant style.
Hosting both parts of the day in one venue created a sense of intimacy and ease for guests, allowing the couple to move effortlessly from the ceremony to the wedding breakfast. The church’s character, paired with carefully chosen furniture and décor, brought the winter wedding vision to life.
Beautiful Church Setting
The church itself provided an unforgettable setting with its high vaulted ceilings, stone pillars, and arched windows. The space was transformed into a romantic backdrop with candlelight reflecting off the polished wood and warm tones from the stone walls.
This unique arrangement, which held both the ceremony and reception in the same space, allowed guests to experience the day uninterrupted. The sense of continuity created an inviting and relaxed flow from vows to dinner, all within the heart of the church’s historic charm.
Soft lighting, glowing candles, and natural decorations created a warm atmosphere, making the space feel both elegant and intimate. The combination of traditional architecture and modern styling created a beautiful contrast that highlighted the venue’s character.

Winter weddings have a charm of their own, with a focus on warmth, comfort, and romance. In this celebration, candlelight played a central role in setting the mood. Large glass lanterns lined the long trestle tables, their gentle light reflecting across glassware and table linen.
Rich textures and natural materials added depth to the décor. White tablecloths were complemented by foliage and delicate touches of greenery. The warm glow of the candles created an intimate dining experience that perfectly suited the winter season.
A church with stone floors and tall windows can feel cool during colder months, yet thoughtful styling and furniture placement made this space feel inviting and cosy. Every detail, from the seating to the table arrangement, contributed to a setting that felt personal, elegant, and full of warmth.

Wedding Furniture Hired from BE Event Hire
To create this sophisticated yet welcoming setting, BE Event Hire supplied a selection of wedding furniture that was both practical and beautiful.
- Varnished Trestle Tables
The 6′ x 2’6” varnished trestle tables formed the foundation for the reception layout. These tables are a popular choice for weddings and events nationwide, offering both strength and versatility.
Their folding metal legs made them easy to position within the church, allowing for a seamless transition from ceremony seating to a banquet-style dining arrangement. Each table comfortably seated six guests, encouraging conversation and connection during the meal.
- Limewash Chiavari Chairs
Limewash Chiavari chairs were selected to complement the rustic stone surroundings, while maintaining a classic and timeless aesthetic. Known for their elegant design and comfort, these chairs are a favourite for weddings and celebrations.
The light wooden frame and delicate finish provided a perfect balance with the warm candlelight, creating a soft and romantic atmosphere. Each chair was fitted with a seat pad in a neutral tone, ensuring comfort throughout the evening while maintaining a refined and coordinated overall design.
- White Tablecloths
Crisp white tablecloths measuring 70″ by 108″ were used to complete the look. These linens perfectly fit the varnished trestle tables and helped create a cohesive, elegant dining area. The contrast between the white cloth and the warm glow of the candles gave the tables a clean and classic appearance.
- Partition Screens
Partition screens were used discreetly to divide the church space where needed. These provided a practical solution for separating different areas such as the ceremony space, dining area, or catering section, without detracting from the beauty of the setting. Their neutral grey fabric design blended naturally with the church interior.
BE Event Hire was proud to play a part in this special day, supplying the essential pieces that brought the vision together. From traditional Chiavari chairs to trestle tables, every detail contributed to a day filled with beauty and memories.
