Whether you’re envisioning a vintage-inspired celebration, or a bold, non-traditional affair, our zero-judgment ethos ensures every couple can fully express their style without compromise. No rules, no expectations—just a celebration that’s as authentic as you are.

Whether you’re dreaming of something traditional or completely out-of-the-box, our friendly, professional team is here to bring your vision to life – so you can relax knowing every detail is taken care of.

For an extra special touch, we offer quirky, alternative accommodation options, including cosy Glamping Pods and stylish Shepherd’s Cabins – the ideal place to rest after an epic night on the dancefloor!

And for something truly unique, Applewood Hall is located right next to Banham Zoo! Imagine a giraffe-feeding experience or jaw-dropping photo opportunities with some incredible wildlife – the possibilities are endless!
