    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 😍

    The most perfect day!

    The whole team at Owlpen Manor were nothing short of incredible. Everything from the food to the service, organisation, coordination - all absolutely flawless. They did everything possible to make our day the best it could be and I can’t thank them enough. You’ve given us memories that we’ll treasure always!

    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!

    The best day of our lives

    We want to say the biggest thank you to the whole Owlpen team, but in particular to Bella, Tash, Hugo and more!

    The minute we visited Owlpen, we knew this was our venue. We booked it a year in advance straight after our engagement. It was just magical. It really gives that rustic British countryside vibe.

    Throughout the year, the Owlpen team kept in contact and kept us informed. As it got closer to the wedding I (the bride) had many questions and worries that started coming up. Every single one was answered with kindness, patience and excitement.

    On our actual wedding day, I couldn’t imagine Tash and Bella not being there. They were constantly encouraging, prompt and made the day so relaxing. We will never forget what the Owlpen team did for us. We truly had the most amazing day of our lives.

    You forever have a place in our hearts. Honestly, if you’re thinking about booking Owlpen as your wedding venue, just do it! Best decision we ever made. ( other than getting married)

    Love Grace and Thomas Armitage xx

    P.S see you in 10 years for our vow renewal😉

    Dream Wedding

    Our wedding at Owlpen Manor was truly a dream come true! The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking—steeped in history, surrounded by stunning countryside, and with so much charm. It created the perfect backdrop for our special day, and our guests were in awe of its beauty.

    A huge thank you to Tonia and Luke, who went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly on both Friday and Saturday. Their support, attention to detail, and willingness to help with every aspect of the day made all the difference.

    We also booked out all the onsite accommodation, which was a fantastic decision. It made the whole weekend feel even more magical, allowing our closest family and friends to stay together and enjoy the celebrations to the fullest.

    We also want to give a special shout-out to our caterers, Food Champs, who were absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and tailored perfectly to our tastes. They impressed not only us but every single one of our guests. Their team was professional, friendly, and ensured everything ran seamlessly during the meal service.

    If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines stunning scenery, exceptional service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, I cannot recommend Owlpen Manor highly enough. It’s a place we’ll always cherish, and we’re so grateful to have celebrated our wedding there!
