Lainston House Wedding Venue

Can we have exclusive use of the venue?

Of Course! Exclusive use is from 1pm on the day of your wedding until 11am the following morning, unless stated otherwise.

Are you licensed for civil ceremonies?

Yes, in our Dawley Barn and in our Outdoor Pavilion.

Can we have the wedding ceremony outdoors?

We have our outdoor pavilion here at Lainston House which is licensed for outdoor ceremonies. At no extra cost we will also set the Dawley Barn for a wet weather plan if the Sun is shy that day!

Do you charge corkage if we supply our own wine?

We do not allow corkage as we are a fully serviced hotel – we have lots of options on site!

Can we use our own caterers?

Only on a dry hire option - please call use for more information on this.

From what time can we get access to decorate the venue?

At the earliest it would be from 09:00 on the day of the wedding. This can be discussed closer to the time dependent on what is going on within the hotel; it may be possible to get in to the space sooner.

What time does the reception need to finish?

You can party right the way until midnight! We can also extend this to 1am for a further £300 fee. Guests staying on the wedding night will be able to enjoy a nightcap in our Cedar Bar.

Are fireworks allowed?

Unfortunately we do not allow fireworks at Lainston House - sparklers are a great alternative though and these are allowed on the grounds!

Is confetti allowed?

We do allow confetti but it must be biodegradable and it must be thrown outside. Confetti cannons are not allowed in or outside of the hotel.

Are candles allowed?

Lainston House is a flame free venue meaning lit candles are not permitted however there are amazing faux candles that you can hardly notice the difference. Great for the planet too!

Is there a honeymoon or bridal suite?

Our four poster suites are usually the choice made by couples - and if booking the 16 guest bedrooms surrounding the barn on your wedding night - your four poster suite is complimentary!

Is there accommodation on site?

Lainston House has 50 bedrooms in total. With our Exclusively Yours package, all 50 bedrooms are included in the Venue Hire. Should you then wish to resell these on to your guests, we can set you up with a unique booking code to make it really easy for guests to secure their room! If you are booking a Friday or Saturday date on our Little Slice of Lainston Package, you will be asked to guarantee the 16 guestrooms which surround the Dawley Barn (also known as Chudleigh Court) for the night of your wedding. Should you go for a Sunday to Thursday date on this package, the 16 guestrooms will still be reserved for your guests should they wish to book, however as the wedding couple you will not be liable for them. A four poster suite is complimentary for the wedding night when 16 guestrooms are booked. A discounted bedroom rate is available for you and your guests for additional nights also. These bedrooms are subject to availability and therefore we recommend booking these as early as possible. At Lainston House we have one fully accessible room suitable for wheelchair use. We have a total of 19 ground floor rooms too. Some of which are dog friendly. We have twinnable rooms available on request too.
