The Wedding party have access to the House from 9am on the day of the wedding, you can provide full set up instructions to our team, and they will have already set the rooms up for you. If we don’t have an event the previous day it may be possible to come in between noon & 4pm to add your finishing touches to the rooms. This is at the discretion of the management team.
The acoustics are amazing in the House so it is always a pleasure to have live music, whether it be to accompany your wedding ceremony or for your wedding party.
Due to the close proximity of the village, fireworks are only permitted if the wedding date is close to Bonfire weekend or New Year’s Eve. We hope you will understand that Chinese lanterns are not permitted under any circumstance, they present a hazard to the local farm livestock, and a fire hazard for the local environment.
