Our pioneering guest‑funded model transforms the traditional wedding approach. Instead of gifts, your guests can contribute directly to the celebration. They’ll enjoy helping fund the dining, entertainment, and experiences that make your day unforgettable.
It’s a modern, meaningful way to celebrate: You host the wedding of your dreams. Your guests help bring it to life.
From just £125 per guest for 2 night stay midweek weddings and £225 per guest for peak summer weekends, this is comparable to a stay in a local hotel.
These rates include full access to the venue, grounds beautifully appointed accommodation, your wedding breakfast, canapes and buffet and staff serving drinks on a BYOB basis.
No late-night taxis, no expensive drinks to pay. No hassle.
If you prefer to pay, instead of traditional favours or token gifts, your guests are welcomed into the estate as honoured companions in the celebration, invited to settle in, relax, and make themselves at home. By gifting their stay, you’re giving them more than a room; you’re giving them time together, space to unwind, and the rare pleasure of being fully immersed in a wedding that feels like a shared retreat. It’s a beautiful expression of appreciation — one that elevates the entire experience and leaves your guests feeling truly valued.
