At Wentbridge, we guarantee that yours will be the only wedding taking place with us on your chosen day. We’re an independently run hotel and offer flexibility, experience, and a setting that feels both elegant and welcoming — with a team who genuinely care about getting it right.

Planning your wedding should feel exciting, not overwhelming.

At Wentbridge House, we’ll guide you gently through each stage — from your first ideas to the finishing touches, and we’re always here to talk things through, offer suggestions, or simply reassure you along the way.

No two weddings here are the same, and that’s exactly how it should be.

Yes – one of our team will be on hand to help with announcements and keep things running smoothly.

A relaxed, well-paced day makes all the difference.

As a guide, most couples arrive at Wentbridge House at around 2.30pm following a church ceremony. If you’re marrying here, we recommend a 1pm ceremony, and if this is the case your wedding day will run something like this;

Seated for your meal at 3pm
Meal and speeches complete by 6pm – any speeches can take place before or after your meal
Evening from 7pm
Cake and 1st dance 7.30/45pm
Evening food around 9pm – food will be out for up to 2 hours
Last orders at the bar will be midnight
Evening entertainment and bar close at 12.15am

We have three beautiful event rooms licensed for your Civil Ceremony ranging in size from a maximum of 24 guests in the Tudor Room to 130 guests in the stunning Crystal Suite. For an extra special ceremony, why not consider the beautiful outdoor Garden Folly?

If you’re planning an outdoor ceremony, we’ll always have an indoor option ready — just in case.

Very much so.

You’re welcome to choose your own music, whether that’s live or a curated playlist. The only restriction for civil ceremonies is that hymns aren’t permitted, and we’d recommend checking your music choices with the registrar.

Absolutely.

Live music works beautifully indoors and out — a string quartet, acoustic set, or something more contemporary. Alternatively, we can play your own personal playlist through our outdoor system.

Throughout the house and gardens.

There’s no restriction — you’re welcome to make the most of the entire setting. If your photographer hasn’t been before, we’d suggest they visit ahead of the day to familiarise themselves.

Yes, but only natural or dried petals please – and a neutral colour in the event of throwing indoors.

Yes — and we’ll guide you through it.

We’re passionate about food and drink and very proud that our kitchen team hold 2 AA Rosettes. We aim to offer complete flexibility with your menu choice and the price is based on your main course selection. Please choose one dish per course to create your menu.

Yes – you can experience your menu and make any final adjustments – generally a table for up to 6 people and the charge for this service will depend on the dishes chosen to taste.

Of course.

We’ll go through all dietary needs with you in the final planning stages, and ensure every guest is looked after accordingly.

Yes.

We have a dedicated children’s menu, or we can offer smaller portions of the main menu if that suits better.

You’re very welcome to personalise your tables.

Flowers, finishing touches, and details all help bring your day together. If required we will provide table numbers, menus, and a seating plan, and can also organise place cards for each place setting at an additional cost.

We’re happy for you to have lit candles in the daytime, but for your evening celebrations we please ask that these are blown out or replaced with battery powered candles.

Not at all.

You can simply drop everything with us the day before, and we’ll take care of setting the room, within reason.

You will have the opportunity to make sure you’re happy with everything and have some photographs prior to your guests taking their seats.

Any external suppliers on the day are welcome from 10am, and please let us know if any refreshments are required.

Here’s a link to our preferred suppliers – Recommended Suppliers | Wentbridge House Hotel Weddings

Traditionally speeches take place after your meal, and this keeps the flow of the day smooth and ensures the food is enjoyed at its best — though ultimately, it’s your choice if you’d prefer speeches take place before you eat.

To ensure full compliance with licensing regulations and to provide a seamless service, we kindly request that all alcoholic beverages be supplied and served exclusively by our in-house team.

We offer a carefully curated selection of wines, spirits, and premium beers, thoughtfully chosen to complement your celebration. Our experienced team will ensure that your guests are attentively cared for throughout the day, allowing you to relax and savour every moment of your special occasion.

Please note that this includes alcohol favours but do let us know if we can help sourcing something for you.

We can.

From DJs to live bands, we’re happy to recommend trusted suppliers — or you’re welcome to arrange your own.

If organising your own suppliers, we please ask that PAT and PLI documents are provided prior to the day.

Yes, with a few considerations.

They’re best suited to the winter months, and we ask that displays take place no later than 8.30pm out of respect for the village residents.

Sparklers are a good alternative for the rest of the year – remember to provide something to light them with, and bucket of sand or water to dispose of them into.

Of course – we have our Brasserie or Fleur de Lys Restaurant, each can accommodate a booking of up to 12 people.

Alternatively, we have a private dining room with seating up to 24, where you can begin your celebrations with a sit-down meal or less formal buffet.

We have 41 individually designed bedrooms, each with its own character, and your guests can enjoy preferential rates – Luxury, Comfortable Rooms & Suites | Wentbridge House Hotel

Breakfast is included in all room rates.

We also have a two-bedroom cottage in the village – Went Cottage – Wentbridge House Hotel

Generally, in the Suite where you have stayed the night before, making for an organised start to your wedding day.

You can then continue in the same Suite on your wedding night, or if preferred you can choose a different honeymoon suite, and perhaps one of your party can then continue in your ‘getting ready room’ to save you from packing up and moving belongings prior to getting married.

Yes you can, and we will be happy to show you the different options. You’ll have the choice of our very best rooms.

No.

We don’t require a minimum, though many couples find it’s a lovely way to extend the celebration with close friends and family.

At the time of reserving your wedding with us, we’ll be happy to provisionally hold a number of bedrooms for you and your wedding party, for the nights before, of and perhaps after your wedding.

Guests simply call us directly to book, quoting your wedding.

We take a deposit of £50 per bedroom and the balance payment during their stay

Any rooms not confirmed will then be released for sale to the general public 4 months prior to your wedding day.

Check-in time for the Honeymoon Suite is 2pm. For all other guests check-in time is from 3pm and check-out is by 11am. Depending on our availability earlier check-in and check-out can be arranged with a supplement.

Yes, small, well-behaved dogs are welcome and we have some dog-friendly bedrooms too.

Yes – on site, and it’s complimentary.

We can hold a date for you for up to 2 weeks without obligation.

To confirm, we require a completed booking form and an initial deposit, with further deposit payments due 12 months and 6 months before your wedding.

We’ll invite you in around eight weeks before your wedding to go through the details together.

From there, we’ll prepare everything carefully behind the scenes, so you can simply enjoy the day when it arrives.

Your balance payment is then due 4 weeks prior to your wedding day.

You’ll never be left wondering.

We’re always here — whether you need advice, reassurance, or just want to run an idea past someone who’s done this many times before.
