Included

Throughout the booking and planning process, our team will be on call to help with organising your day. We have suppliers we can recommend, and our experience in running weddings and events means we can advise where needed.

On the day you will be looked after by an Event Coordinator. They will coordinate with your chosen caterer, florist and entertainment, as well as ensure the timings of your day fit with your requests; so you can relax and enjoy every minute without any worries!

As well as exclusive use of the venue on the day of your wedding/event, we also include the use of:

  • Chairs for your ceremony in the Main Barn

  • Large ceremony table

  • Easel

  • Wall of fairy lights in the Main Barn (which will look spectacular for those all important photos!)

  • Dining tables and chairs

  • Optional pop-up bar in the courtyard

  • Optional outdoor heaters in the ‘stables’

  • Use of our wrought iron rings in the Main Barn; prefect for dressing up with flowers or fairy lights (or both!)

  • Glass hire

  • Bar staff

  • Disco lights and sound system (however, we would recommend organising a band/DJ as well)

  • TV and games in the Wheelhouse (great for keeping kids occupied!)

  • Use of the Dressing Room; perfect for a breather or makeup touch up for VIP guests (aka the Bride or Groom!)

  • You are welcome to set up the day before your wedding/event

Catering

We have a list of preferred caterers for you to choose from.

For weddings; we recommend having a main ‘Wedding Breakfast’; and then offering something smaller in the evening (such as pizzas, a cheese platter, or your cake!) as guests get hungry with so much dancing!

Our preferred caterers offer everything from pie & mash and afternoon teas, to fine dining, sharing platters and BBQs. We have a separate list of caterers for the evening food.

Please get in touch for more information.

Add Ons

We have a selection of ‘add-ons’ that you can choose to include should you wish. These include;

  • Fire-pits in the courtyard (perfect for toasting marshmallows on!)

  • Flares between the venue and the car park

  • Light up letters (L O V E)

  • Projector in the dining room

  • Candles and candleholders in the dining room

  • Outdoor games

Bar

We manage our own Bar; and before each event we will talk through drinks options with you.

For weddings, it is recommended that some drinks are pre-purchased for the drinks reception after your ceremony and for the Wedding Breakfast. The bar will be open for guests to purchase further drinks throughout the day, and you are welcome to arrange a bar tab as well should you wish.

Our bar includes a selection of wine, beer, spirits and mixers, soft drinks and a few cocktail options.

We have our own bar staff. Depending on the size of your event, we will arrange the number of staff required for a smooth running of your drinks throughout the day.
