If you go down to the woods today...
Have you always dreamed of a woodland wedding ceremony?
Imagine saying your vows under a whispering canopy of dozens of shades of green, where you can feel as close to nature as you do to each other. Just a stone’s throw away from the barn, lies our licensed wedding woodland. Come with us on the short stroll across the meadow, and step into a copse that forms a perfect aisle. They’ll lead you to the oak-framed hexagon gazebo, which will frame you as you exchange your vows in a space that feels nothing short of magical.
