A wedding to remember

An intimate wedding means you can focus on what really matters – good food, good drinks, and great company. Instead of being swept up in the logistics of a hundred hellos, you can sit back and savour the day, lingering over dinner, sharing stories, and dancing under the stars without a strict timeline in sight. With a smaller guest list, you have the freedom to add the thoughtful touches that make your day feel one-of-a-kind – from a personalised cocktail menu to heartfelt handwritten notes at each place setting.

A manor made for moments

Woodhall Manor is perfectly designed for intimate weddings. Exchange vows outside at the Dovecote, capture golden-hour photographs in the peaceful gardens, dine by candlelight and party away in your very own nightclub. As day turns to evening, enjoy cocktails on the terrace and a final toast by the fire before retreating upstairs to your suite. Every space flows naturally, creating a seamless and romantic setting from start to finish.

Everything you need in one place

Every intimate wedding at Woodhall Manor includes exclusive use of the house and 12 individually designed bedrooms, so you and your guests can turn your wedding day into a weekend escape.

Our chefs will work with you to create a menu that reflects your taste and style, whether that’s an elegant sit-down dinner, a relaxed sharing feast, or an indulgent late-night pizza bar. You’ll also have full access to all of our ceremony and reception spaces, both indoors and out, so you can shape your celebration exactly as you wish.
