Welcome to The Woodlands

If you've always dreamt of marrying in the woods with just your friends and family, then this wedding venue is ideal. Every wedding at The Woodlands is exclusive use - you won't see anyone else other than your guests and our staff.  You can tie the knot in the light and airy indoor ceremony space, which offers floor to ceiling windows to give you the best views, or by the river in the open-air Hideaway. The Hideaway is ideal for festival or rustic themed weddings, and is naturally overgrown to give you that wilderness feel. 

After your ceremony, head over to the Prosecco Bar to enjoy drinks, lawn games and photos. There are plenty of fun and casual drinks options to enjoy - you can offer your guests everything from buckets of beer to a gin bar!

Similarly, you'll have a great range of catering options to choose from at The Woodlands. The team are always on top of the latest wedding food trends, which means your wedding menu could include grazing bars, sharing boards, or gourmet barbecues. Whatever you dream up, the team can help put it on the table! 

The Woodlands Village

After an amazing night of drinking, dancing and partying, your guests can retire to their woodland lodge bedrooms. There are 22 rooms in a semi-circle around the venue (so not far to stumble!) all decorated in a rustic luxe style.

As the newlyweds, you get to enjoy the gorgeous Treehouse Suite that's hidden away in the woodlands just a short walk from the venue. With its cozy furnishings, luxury bathroom and balcony overlooking the views, it's the perfect place to wake up together as husband and wife.
