Packages and pricing

Built around your guest list

Seven packages offer useful starting points across different seasons, guest numbers and styles of celebration. Explore what each includes, then talk to our Wedding & Events team about the choices that matter to you.

The baseline

Every package includes

  • Master of Ceremonies
  • Use of the wedding licence
  • Full-day room hire
  • Chair covers and sashes
  • White table linen, napkins and crockery
  • Use of the grounds for photographs
  • The Bridal Suite for your wedding night

What the day looks like

The same care at every level

Whichever package you start from, the food is prepared in-house, the rooms are dressed by our team and the day is run by a Master of Ceremonies.

What changes between the levels is the guest count and the finishing touches, not the care that goes into any of it.
