Wedding Ceremonies
We are fully licensed for civil wedding ceremonies and partnerships, which enables couples to hold both their wedding ceremony and reception at our venue. Our Ceremony Room is decorated in a elegant neutral palette, allowing couples to add their own style and finishing touches. The room, which comfortably seats up to 80 guests, has exposed oak beams and is lit by the natural light which floods in from several windows and french-doors.

Outdoor Wedding Ceremonies
As an Approved Venue, we are also delighted to offer our couples the choice of an outside wedding ceremony where you can say “I Do” in a wonderful outdoor setting.
Our gardens provide many different options for an outdoor wedding ceremony, from Spring all the way through to the Autumn. Beautiful locations include the formal lawns against the backdrop of the rhododendrons, in full flower, during Spring. For Summer, the natural grass meadow, with it’s mowed paths, provides a tranquil setting. On a warm Autumn day, our woodland glade garden provides a glorious setting for those looking for relaxed outside ceremony.
