NOOITGEDACHT WEDDING VENUE REVIEW

The bridal suite, Manor House accommodation and estate cottages let you prepare close to the ceremony. With accommodation onsite, there is less travelling between hair, makeup, portraits and the first guests arriving. Your closest family and friends can settle in and enjoy the whole celebration together.

This is particularly good for a wedding weekend: welcome drinks, the wedding itself and a relaxed breakfast can become part of one experience, with everyone returning to their rooms after the reception.

Exchange vows on the lawn in front of the Manor House or use the oak-lined setting for a shaded garden ceremony. The estate’s stone chapel offers a characterful indoor alternative and a practical option when the weather changes.

The Manor House’s white walls and gables make a beautiful backdrop, while the oak avenues give us shade, soft backlight and strong leading lines. Established gardens, ponds and open lawns add variety without a long journey away from your guests.

We can move from intimate garden portraits to wider estate scenes in a short session. Later, lights among the trees offer a different atmosphere for a few evening photographs.

For a rainy-day portrait plan, ask the estate in advance whether selected areas inside the Manor House can be used. Its historic architecture and antique furnishings offer a different photographic setting, subject to permission and access on the day.

The Grand Hall can be styled from an intimate gathering to a large celebration. Its generous height works well for suspended greenery, chandeliers and dramatic floral installations, while the neutral interior allows your décor to set the mood.

For an outdoor reception, long tables beneath the oaks and strings of lights create a lovely garden-party atmosphere. Plan the seating, dance floor and weather alternative together with the estate.
