Smaller weddings can be the most intensely romantic! When your group is smaller, you can concentrate on the details and your love!
You may want something super simple or you might want a “Platinum” experience. These packages are all designed for 10 to about 50 people. If your wedding size is close to this but you need or want something different, just let us know which package is closest to what you need and the changes you’d like to make.
Most people book their weddings with the minimum number of people they expect and then they add on additional people, if any, a month before the wedding when they have received responses to their invitations and know how many of those invited are coming.
Many couples include an overnight or two at our 2-bedroom Willow cottage to extend their wedding experience. Arrive the day before your wedding and settle in. Have your wedding the next day and stay for your honeymoon!
