Guests will arrive by floo, where they will come out and be presented with the manor's main foyer. There they will be led by a path of glowing lanterns to the manor's grounds; a sprawling cobblestone courtyard where tables are set up for evening tea. The courtyard overlooks a large lake. Atmospheric charms around the courtyard prevent guests from getting too cold, though a nice breeze will occasionally pass through the hillside.

A quartet will be playing light music throughout the evening.

There is a maze just beyond the courtyard (but within the courtyard's atmospheric charm) overflowing with greenery and flowers. Though most of the flowers are charmed to not affect those with seasonal allergies, one or two might have been unaffected as the staff were casting their spells ;) In the maze, the flowers glow, though that is not a guarantee they're telling the guest the way out! It isn't a hard maze to navigate, though if a guest wishes to leave and not complete the maze, all they need to do is pluck one of the flowers, crush it between their palm and scatter the remains on the maze floor. The maze hedge will fold back and allow the guest to walk back without a hitch.

Unbeknownst to most of the guests (though rumor may have gotten around), William Abbott plans on proposing to Diana Fawley this evening just as the sun goes down.

After the proposal, the evening tea setting will disappear and the evening will transition into a nighttime ball complete with a larger band and dancing. Glasses of champagne and beverages will be brought around by servants and house elves for guests to refresh themselves. There will still be seating and light refreshments throughout the night.
