We are open to your ideas, so please talk to us. Whether an intimate wedding in the house or a summer marquee event for up to 140 seated guests, we can accommodate your vision.
Choose between the beautiful ornate Yellow Room and the formal gardens for your civil ceremony or one of our beautiful local churches.
Drinks in the house and the formal gardens with croquet on the lawn before moving to our beautiful traditional sail cloth marquee on the rear lawn for the wedding breakfast and evening party. What could be more perfect?
Our on-site accommodation for up to 10 in the private guest house and the luxury Bridal Suite in the main house, gives your wedding a 'country-house long-weekend' feel. Set up all day Friday, tie the knot Saturday, host a brunch in the marquee on Sunday morning. There's absolutely no need to rush!
When it rained heavily one August Saturday from morning til night and the couple totally embraced it, even sitting by the campfire with their friends until the wee hours, totally soaking wet, but laughing and having the best time.
Make sure you use the on site accommodation, where possible, for the most helpful people among your friends/family as there is always a lot more to do than you anticipate and be sure to give both myself and the front of house manager as much information as possible on both of our check lists. Communication is everything!
The Labrador wearing a GoPro camera on his collar to catch the day's action. The Skype session during the ceremony with the bride's Iranian mother who was unable to get a visa was very moving, as there were lots of tears. The father of the bride's Ceilidh band playing a full set at his own daughter's wedding. The stunning coach and Fresian horses taking the bride to the village church and bringing the couple back for the reception.
Secluded, bespoke, private, rural, authentic
The formal gardens, the Rose Garden, the Wild Flower Meadow are all lovely, but there is also 100 acres of National Trust estate that offer so many lovely old buildings, brick walls, ponds and sequoia trees dating from the 1800s.
We had Katie Price and Kris Boyson last summer, does that count.....?!! We have some more this summer, but I'm not allowed to say who .....
Our in-house caterer the Curious Eatery are so amazingly talented, that it wold be too difficult to choose a favourite
We allow pizza/crepe/fish & chip vans on site to serve all sorts of goodies to hungry guests, so any of those would hit the spot for me
It has to be the location. There is only one house in the 100 acre National Trust estate surrounding the house, so the house feels very private and secluded.
The fact that we only offer 12 weekend long weddings per year which means couples and their guests can truly relax and enjoy the set up process and enjoy being with each other for the whole weekend. There is definitely no conveyor belt feeling whatsoever at this venue.
