MIDWEEK WEDDING OFFER – 2025 & 2026
***Enquire at the estate office for our great deals on MARCH AND APRIL 2025 midweek weddings, with offers available on our last few dates!***
Planning a micro wedding? Want to keep costs down but still have an amazing venue to celebrate your wedding? Or perhaps you are travelling from abroad and looking for a destination wedding venue, sos the day of the week doesn’t matter so much. Look no further!
We have a specially curated midweek wedding package which allows flexibility and economy in one. We have put together a package which includes everything for 40 people, and then you just pay per head for additional guests, up to 120 people. Simple!
We know that it is sometimes easier to see just one quote, instead of having to work out lots of different costs per head. In recognition of this the midweek wedding package keeps things simple.
Our midweek wedding package includes the following benefits:
- Use of the estate for two nights, where required. We invite you to arrive the day before your wedding, to give you an opportunity to decorate and get ready for the big day. We can also host a dinner or informal get-together the night before, in the Cyder Barn, if required.
- Use of the Owlpen Manor Estate including the gardens and grounds.
- Exclusive use of the brand new pole barn, and medieval Cyder Barn, for dining and dancing.
- Access to the Manor House itself for ceremonies for up to 50 people.
- Wine for 40 people: our package includes a bottle of wine per head (sparkling, red and white), spread out over the reception, wedding breakfast, and speeches. We also offer ‘beer buckets’ at a discounted price if you would like more variety during the reception, and our fully stocked bar will be open for evening drinks.
- Food for 40 people: the cost includes a three-course meal. Choose one dish from a range of options outlined below.
- All cutlery, crockery and glassware is included in the fee. Seating is on long trestle tables which don’t need table linen. If you would like linen, or prefer round tables, there is an additional fee.
NB We usually host our midweek weddings on a Wednesday. This allow you to arrive the day before with no one else there except from you. In the same way, on the Thursday you need not be in any hurry to leave. If you would prefer a Thursday wedding, we can arrange this for you. The only difference is that there is a tighter deadline for checking out of the accommodation in the morning. It is up to you!
