Woodland Wedding

Are you dreaming of an outdoor wedding under wide skies and tall pines? Do you want the freedom to create your own bohemian oasis, share stories by the fire and dance under the stars? Are your hearts set on a woodland wedding celebration that’s luxurious, relaxed and a little bit wild?

By day, this grove of whispering Douglas Firs forms a natural aisle and our rustic wooden folly is licensed for outdoor ceremonies. So, you can choose to say your vows in whatever way best suits you – whether bespoke humanist blessing or registrar led civil ceremony. By night, make the woods come alive with music and dancing; the trees strung with lanterns and twinkling fairy lights; and the crackling fire pits shooting sparks into the night sky. A Woodland Wedding at Somerley is perfect for those with free spirits and big imaginations. Hire our rustling green cathedral in the tranquil heart of the Somerley Estate and select from a range of spectacular tipis, marquees and overnight glamping yurts from our approved suppliers. Design a wedding feast of dreams with one of our catering partners, and chat with our friendly events team who will help you source everything else – from flowers and photographers, to lighting, live music, and anything else your wild hearts desire. Where will your imagination take you?

Woodland Wedding Capacity: 150 guests under the trees. For larger numbers, a marquee or tipis can be positioned in the adjacent paddock. Basic hire includes ground fee only. Tipis/marquees, catering and other extras to be arranged at an additional cost.

Looking for a timeless outdoor celebration with a twist? We’ve got just the place. Our Walled Garden is a beautiful blank canvas space, perfect for marquees and much larger celebrations. Situated adjacent to our Woodland site, The Walled Garden is wide and open and able to accommodate 350 of your loved ones. Whether you’re planning a quintessentially English country garden wedding, or an all-out luxury wedding festival, Somerley’s Walled Garden gives you the space and the seclusion to do it in style. Fully equipped with power and water you can bring the garden alive with music and dancing and light up the night with fireworks at the end of your epic party. The Walled Garden can be booked on its own, or alongside the Somerley Woodland or in addition to Somerley House for larger events.
