AUCTION & VENUE FAQS
Because we own all 8 estates outright, we control our own pricing. Weddings on midweek dates or during quieter seasons cost us less to staff and operate — and we pass that saving directly on to you. Couples who are flexible on their date can save up to 75% on venue hire compared to a peak Saturday, with the same estate, the same team, and the same experience. Many couples save between £3,000 and £8,000 this way.
Your wedding is all about you and the people you love. From the ceremony to the
celebrations that follow, our team is there to help bring your plans to life and create a
day that feels personal, relaxed and completely your own.
Minimum starting bids (£4,000 for The Ultimate, £2,000 for The Signature, and £1,000 for The Essential) ensure that every submission meets the baseline operational threshold required to deliver these full-service, all-inclusive luxury packages.
If your bid is successful, we’ll contact you within 24 hours to confirm the good news. We’ll then guide you through the next steps and start planning your wedding with you.
Our collection of unique wedding venues offers something for celebrations of all sizes.
Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering with your nearest and dearest or a larger celebration with a packed dancefloor, we have venues with a range of capacities to suit your plans.
Our wedding venues can accommodate everything from smaller celebrations to larger
weddings of up to 150 guests and beyond, depending on your chosen venue and the
style of celebration you’re planning.
