Couples are different, their style is individual, family dynamics vary, traditions are diverse, budgets and life priorities are multiple. Love stories are so magically unique.
There is no one single wedding package that can suit everyone and every budget.
To celebrate the differences, we created two approaches to weddings packages: the all-inclusive and the build-your-own.
This is the most popular approach to wedding packages. It reflects the traditional English wedding in all its glory. And it works perfectly.
By bundling all the essential elements together, including the things you never thought of, the all-inclusive package helps couples to focus on creating beautiful memories leaving the 'heavy lifting' to be handled by our specialised wedding coordinators.
With effortless planning, your wedding will set a tone of elegance and tradition with a twist. Set it in a historic coaching inn, you will experience a touch of indulgence and quiet luxury.
Our most popular package is the all-inclusive wedding on a Saturday, for up to 50 or 100 day guests.
50 day-guests is priced as the following:
£13,000 on Wednesdays and Thursdays
£16,000 on Fridays and Saturdays
If you have in mind a wedding for 100 guests, or 30 guests, or even an elopement for 10 guests, then just talk to us and we will prepare a quote within your budget.
What's even better? The interest-free payment plan will be tailored to your needs.
Launched for 2025 weddings, this new approach to packages is a big innovation.
By offering a totally bespoke pick ‘n’ mix approach to a wedding package, couples can achieve their dream wedding with financial control to prioritise what truly matters to them.
The build-your-own package is a fantastic way to cater to individual preferences and budgets with the final goal to create a memorable wedding day.
And much more...
Let's explore the key factors that will impact the cost of your build-your-own wedding package:
The cost can indeed vary based on the personalised elements you choose. Each decision reflects your unique style and preferences.
Maybe you don't want the evening party but the wedding breakfast needs to reflect your love of wholesome gourmet food. Maybe you just love a party and the sooner your guests can get on the dancefloor, the better. Maybe a long weekend wedding with three days with full board for you and your family is the perfect opportunity to bring your loved ones together.
Once we have the opportunity to discuss what is important to you, a bespoke package will be crafted and priced to reflect your unique requirements.
This is where the fun begins.
There is no better or worse and there is no 'one size fits all'. The right wedding package is the one that matters to you and that reflects your unique story.

*This is limited time offer, subject to availability.
Elopements, micro-weddings, minimonies... they are all welcome and will look gorgeous in The Buttery & Glasshouse.
Our all-inclusive Petite Weddings are designed with a ceremony and reception for 30 to 50 guests and they will fit perfectly in one of the three ceremony spaces available.
Consider hosting your 2025 wedding on a Wednesday or during the beautiful twilight golden hour, or even on a Sunday. It broadens budget opportunities and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how far your budget can stretch.
Despite its petite scale, your wedding will still feel grand!
Essentially, a romantic wedding ceremony begins at 4pm or 5pm and seamlessly transitions from the ceremony to the reception, bypassing the traditional wedding breakfast.
Immensely popular in Kent, this budget-friendly format of wedding is a favourite among couples who love dancing, partying and informal catering.
Wedding venues normally offer Twilight Weddings only in the winter but we can make this wedding extra special, as is also available in the summer and we call it The Golden Hour Wedding.
Understated elegance, timeless and classic meals, a vast selection of drinks and beers, the historic coaching inn, sofas, desserts, sherries, teas & coffees - the Sunday Wedding is stunningly stylish yet not ostentatious.
"What a marvellous idea!" - that is the reaction you will have from your guests. No need for any extra explanation. No need for any extra planning for entertainment. We all know what to do with our carefree and idle Sundays: eat, drink, celebrate, sleep.
Delightful.
Weddings that are different, surprising, unusual and unexpected are the ones that can be most cost effective, even more affordable.
Being different opens a massive opportunity to stretch your budget to include everything you want, nothing that you don't.
Dare to be different.
The all-inclusive package is definitely still as robust and welcome an option as it has ever been. Maybe you have very little time to spare, maybe your wedding is only a few weeks away, maybe you want to relax and hand over the planning to a team of dedicated experts. Or you could just simply like the idea of a package that incorporates all the elements to put on an elegant, indulgent wow factor day.
This tried and tested gold standard package has been celebrated and has evolved over 10 years to include: 48-hour venue hire, the day-before to prepare, 10 boutique bedrooms, Bride and Groom dressing rooms, gourmet wedding breakfast, exceptional wines, a dedicated and experienced team, and much more...
Whilst the perks of the all-inclusive package are fixed, the price certainly isn't. Guest numbers, time of the year and day of the week are all considered in the overall price.
Definitely! We can’t ignore the fact that we are in the middle of a cost of living crisis and a lot of our couples may be having to rethink their saving plans or adjust their budget to realise their aspirations. We can design individual payment plans to meet a variety of needs.
Budgets might be tight, but we don’t want to see any of our couples having to scale down on their dreams. Instead we want to make sure that we offer a way for couples to build their own package, ensuring they have full financial control.
Your wedding day can be crafted in a way that reflects your individuality and allows you to maximise your budget. It helps to draw up a list of ‘must haves’ so that these elements are prioritised when working out where your budget is spent.
After identifying the elements of your wedding that are most important to you, the transparency of the calculator helps you to allocate your spend. For example, you might want to overspend on the food and underspend on the drinks package.
A bespoke wedding day begins with the unique story of the couple. Sharing your ideas and voicing your aspirations is a very important aspect of the planning and helps to establish what you want your day to reflect.
We want your wedding day to truly represent the essence of who you are as a couple. As a venue, we celebrate the diversity of our society and we want to provide a welcome space for couples who want to set their own traditions.
That is such a good question! We have hosted weddings for 4 guests only and find that couples love the way the venue moulds to more intimate gatherings of 15 - 30 guests. We can always guarantee that your smaller guests numbers are fairly reflected in the package price.
Our dedicated wedding coordinators will love to discuss your plans and show you the venue. Please contact us on 01732 789 800 or fill in the form below.
