PRIVATE ESTATE & COUNTRY HOUSE WEDDINGS

“Our wedding day was truly one of the best days of our lives. The day was intimate and warm, which was exactly how we wanted it to be. Emma was always responsive and helpful, which made the planning process so enjoyable and stress-free.”

If getting married at home isn’t an option, then hiring a country house or private estate for the weekend is the next best thing.

There are some fabulous country house venues in the UK, including Cornwell Manor in the Cotswolds, North Cadbury Court in Devon and Cowdray House in West Sussex, to name just a few. Couples love that they feel like ‘home away from home’, albeit with an indoor pool and golf course at North Cadbury Court!

Venues like these are ideal for hosting wedding weekends and a charming option for couples who are planning a destination wedding in the UK and who are looking for an authentic English countryside experience.

Often couples will invite their guests to a welcome event the day before their wedding and a farewell brunch the day after. This means there's plenty of time to catch up with cherished family and friends, relax and enjoy traditional country pursuits!

In terms of style, country house weddings often lend themselves to a timeless aesthetic, simply because of their period features and interior decor. That said, if you’re having a marquee in the grounds for your reception then you have complete creative freedom! It’s fun to style your welcome event differently to your wedding day and bring in different entertainment to keep things fresh and exciting. Styling these unique venues in ways that blend their natural charm with your unique tastes and story is a highlight of my full wedding planning service.

“Hiring Emma was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning! We had a fairly large wedding, with the ceremony and reception at different locations. Emma’s organisational skills and attention to detail ensured that everything appeared seamless. I really appreciated the personal touches that made us feel like our wedding and our guests were as important to her as they were to us.”
