The Simply Guesten option, which combines the charge for holding your civil ceremony in the Hall, with the charge for holding your reception in the Hall. This option is a blank canvas that allows you to plan all the details of your wedding to create a day that matches your own style. The reception charge includes: access to New Guesten Hall the afternoon before your wedding to decorate the Hall, hire of New Guesten Hall between 10.30am and midnight on the day of your wedding and use of our tables and chairs. This means you make a booking with our approved bar company and caterers yourselves, as well as decorating the Hall and booking entertainment, which gives you control over the menu, style of entertainment and decoration of the Hall to really personalise your wedding day. This option also allows you to bring up to five drinks per guests, we do not charge corkage but the bar company will charge glass hire and a service charge for these drinks.

Guesten Afternoon Tea Wedding, this includes our ceremony charges, room decoration, chair covers, afternoon tea for your guests, fresh flower arrangements for your tables, table linen, and bar hire; there is also an optional evening reception, which you can add on and includes evening bar hire, a DJ to entertain your guests and extends hire of New Guesten Hall until midnight. You can choose from any of our approved caterers for your evening reception catering and they would charge you separately for this to give you more choice over the menu and style of catering. There are also optional drinks packages that you can add to the afternoon tea. The price for the Guesten Afternoon Tea Wedding option is not affected by the month of the year or day of the week, there are no other reductions if you do not want to have a part of the package, such as the DJ or flower arrangements.
