Weekend Wedding Packages – 2026 and 2027

At Owlpen we understand 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, we offer a range of weekend wedding packages, which keep things simple.

Our weekend 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 bridal suite and make-up room included in the fee.
• 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.
• Food for 80 people: the cost includes a three-course meal.  Choose one dish from a range of options outlined below.  Fees for canapés and evening food are additional.
• Wine for 80 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.
• 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.  There is a fee of £1 per head for classic white napkins if you would like to use ours.

If you want to add that extra touch of style to your wedding reception, then nothing hits the spot better than our ever-popular canapés.  They work especially well if you want to have a longer reception (over an hour) and if you are looking to do extensive group photographs, as the food choices keep other guests occupied and entertained. 

There are so many different ones to choose from, and you can click the button below this text to find a full list.  To help whet your appetite, we have outlined a few of the greatest hits below!
