Guests were called into the Lawn Marquee after the wedding for what started out as a very English affair, to reflect the groom's nationality, soon to be followed by a more American theme as the blushing bride brought the some home cuisine to the table.

Guests were served drinks form the cocktail list first, which included the English Garden, made from gin, elderflower, lemon apple, mint, and the Pine and Dandy, with vodka, lime, ginger, pineapple and rosemary. 

The English theme continued with the canapés, which included tiny Cumberland sausages with a mustard mash dip, baked potatoes with caviar, and foie gras to complete the menu of elaborate starters. They were served at 8pm following 15 minutes of speeches from father of the bride Richard Hilton, groom James Rothschild and the Best Man.

There was a photobooth set up in The Orangery so the high-profile guests would have some amusing memories of what is likely to be the wedding of the year.
