Cut to the Chase
Our wedding rates are shown below with Terms & Conditions available on request or when you pay us a visit.
If there’s anything you’re not sure about or want to discuss, just give us a call or drop us an email.
Don’t forget that although you can arrange a wedding at short notice the trend is for longer lead in times of 12-18 months, sometimes a couple of years! So for the dates & caterers etc that you want, especially in the Spring & Summer months, it’s the early bird that catches the worm...
Ceremony or Reception Only
If you’ve already got somewhere even more special to you to hold your reception, but want to have your ceremony by our bubbling stream then we’re happy for you to marry in our Pavilion for 50% of our costs below. If you’ve got your heart set on marrying elsewhere, but want to come to us for your party of a lifetime then its 80% of these costs.
To secure your wedding date we require a 50% deposit of your base rate with the balance payable 12 weeks before the big day. Additional costs are payable as agreed. Cancellation policy as per our terms and conditions.

* bands 1 & 2 - if you're a smaller wedding you're likely to have a ceremony in the wedding pavilion followed by drinks, photos & either supper round your campfire or a more traditional reception in the wedding pavilion (seamlessly switched over by venue staff from ceremony to dining space) until 7pm - no need for the big marquee.
** band 3 is the wild card; because of your numbers (up to 40 people) you've got the choice of keeping it in our smaller wedding category like 1 & 2, or going the whole hog & booking the marquee like the bigger weddings & dancing the night away. Don't worry if you're not sure which sounds best - we can discuss
