The perfect Venue!
We had the perfect day at Owlpen. We booked all the cottages available so had about 40 of our friends and family with us from the Friday right through until Sunday. Everyone loved their little quirky cottages and we all spent Friday night together at the local pub for an early celebration, which was only a 10 minute walk away.
We loved the fact there was a church at the venue and fully utilised this for our ceremony. Luckily the weather was good and we could then move to the manor house gardens for our drinks reception. With the sun shining, prosecco flowing and string quartet playing, it was nothing short of perfect.
Into the main barn for food which was spacious and beautiful. The smaller Cyder press barn was perfect for the evening disco. We also made use of the outside areas, with people playing cornhole and sitting around the fire pit.
The staff were so helpful, responding super quick to any queries and would accommodate so many requests. Our coordinator on the day was an absoulte god send and made us feel so relaxed that everything was being taken care of so we could just enjoy the day.
I'd highly recommend Owlpen for any couples looking for a countryside venue that is absolutely stunning, spacious and accommodating. Our photos are beautiful and that's mostly to do with the lawns, gardens and lakes that Owlpen offers.-

Our magical wedding day
On behalf of my new husband and I - thank you. There aren’t enough words to convey our gratitude to the whole team: Hugo, Mel, Bella, Tash, and all the bar, grounds and support staff. As well as the in-house caterers, Well Seasoned, Raoul and Holly, Alice and the entire team. From our first visit, to opens day, to the busy days leading up the wedding, every person was patient, accommodating and went out of their way to ensure we were happy, comfortable and had whatever we needed (plus more). Our day at Owlpen was truly magical, the perfect wedding day, and exceeded every expectation. I couldn’t recommend Owlpen Manor enough! -

There are no words to describe the sheer excellence that Owlpen provides
Choosing Owlpen Manor for our wedding venue was a no brainer- it was located in the village where I grew up and the surrounding area is where we used to walk our dog. What we didn't expect was simply how incredible the service we received from the whole team was, and how BEAUTIFUL the entire day was! From the get go Bella made us feel at ease and answered any queries promptly, helping us clear up any questions that we had. Fast forward to the open day, and we met with the lovely Tash who would be our wedding co-ordinator with Bella. Tash again answered our MANY questions that we had! Both Bella and Tash provided so much warmth and friendliness that it really help alleviate all those nerves we had on the day before the wedding! Chatting to them didn't feel like you were chatting with wedding co-ordinations but in fact your friends who simply just wanted you to have the day you wanted. They fully embraced my dark humour which I get when I am nervous!
What also made Owlpen the PERFECT wedding venue was that they allow you to make the wedding YOU WANT! We are a quirky pair, and when we mentioned we wanted to create your standard Gnome Hunt there was no look of confusion or frown but instead met with a smile and saying "of course it's your wedding". What we didn't want was a copy and paste wedding but a wedding which encapsulated us as couple and embraced all our quirks. The best thing hearing from the day was people saying this wedding was so you two, and I have no doubt that without Owlpen's ethos of making the wedding individual to the couple that we wouldn't have been able to achieve that.Owlpen Manor's reply:
Thanks you for your kind words!
It was an absolute pleasure hosting your wedding and we loved working with you both.
Please stay in touch and come back and see us soon.
With love from The Owlpen Team x -

Romantic laid back venue
We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect venue for our wedding than Owlpen Manor. The grounds and barns are absolutely stunning – every corner feels magical, and our guests were blown away. We filled all the cottages with our guests, who loved staying for a couple of nights to really enjoy the venue.
The team were professional and friendly, making everything feel completely stress-free. We felt completely supported and looked after, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy every moment.
We’re so grateful to Owlpen Manor for helping make our day so special, and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a venue that’s beautiful, welcoming, -

Perfect setting for best day!
Owlpen went above and beyond when it came to our wedding! Bella, Hugo and team were so flexible, friendly but also gave great advice and encouragement when it came to our ideas and what we wanted to do. We really couldn’t thank them enough for making our day so perfect 😍 -

Excellent venue and attentive team
We had our wedding in May last year and it was a wonderful experience. The venue was absolutely beautiful and the people who worked there made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable for us. They helped coordinate with vendors and helped keep us on schedule without making it stressful (and in fact made it rather fun, with one of our groomsmen being the designated bell ringer to round up guests).
One of our guests asked us to include the below feedback: "We would like to personally thank the hospitality team for their attentive service provided. Especially to Luke who helped to look after my wife who was pregnant by going the extra mile."
Thank you to Bella, Tonia, Luke and the team for giving us such wonderful memories of our wedding! -

The most amazing venue for our special day
From the moment we arrived to our first appointment to walk around Owlpen, even though we had rain and grey clouds, we walked through the gardens with Bella and our umbrellas and still fell in love.
Bella gave us such a relaxed and welcoming feeling and what put us at ease was the professionalism and trust in knowing that herself and all of the staff at Owlpen knew their craft so well.
All of the staff were kind, helpful, genuinely lovely and passionate people and professional the whole way through, the visits, open days, booking and leading up to our big day was made so much easier with advice from Bella, Hugo, Tonia and the wonderful Mel who made our big day, simply amazing.
Mel was our rock for our weekend and so many of our family and friends told us how amazing all of the staff and venue were.
We can’t thank Owlpen and all of the staff there enough, for the advice, the organisation, the happy tears, the memories, the stunning venue and location & the best weekend of our lives.
Thank you!

Mid-week Wedding June 2024
Owlpen was the most wonderful venue for our wedding last year. The barns are so beautiful and the gardens great for our drinks reception in the sunshine. Bella and Tonia were very quick to respond to queries on email and in the close run up to our wedding they kept in touch with all of our plans. We had some last minute changes to numbers and timings which weren’t a problem. Hugo even drove some of the bridesmaids to our church due to a last minute issue with cars which saved our morning. The mid-week wedding suited us perfectly. We had a barbecue the night before with lots of our friends and family at Grist Mill and then hosted a breakfast the morning after our wedding for any guests staying in the holiday cottages. The accommodation on site was so great and lovely to have lots of our friends staying nearby. It was the most wonderful day and if we could go back and do it all again we would! -

E&E Wedding July 2025
The team at Owlpen were excellent! They really listened to us about what we were looking for and that put them above the other venues which we looked at. We wanted to go for the mid-week package and loved the fact you basically got the venue for three days, most importantly for us, the day before to set up. We also loved you could get married outside in the beautiful gardens and not have to flip any rooms for the reception, wedding breakfast or dancefloor as they all had their separate areas. They were also the ONLY venue to take on board that the bride was T-Total and allowed us to make a unique alcohol-free package to offer our guests, alongside the alcohol package. It worked brilliantly! The food was fantastic and was complimented by all the guests. Luke and Tonia ran the day so seamlessly and helped us sort a large BBQ the night before too.
10/10 for everything and everyone. Highly recommended! -
