Say "I Do" among the trees in a woodland wedding venue with heart at Wild Woodland Celebrations, in Tetbury, Gloucestershire. Tucked away in a peaceful woodland glade, our unique wedding venue offers the perfect setting for couples who want something beautifully rustic, completely relaxed, and deeply meaningful.

We believe weddings should be as individual as the people getting married — so we offer the freedom to design your day your way. Whether you're planning a barefoot ceremony under the canopy, a twilight celebration with fairy lights, or a picnic-style reception in the glade, you're welcome to make it your own.

We're here to help as much — or as little—as you need.

Weddings that Give Back to the Woods

All profits go directly into our woodland regeneration project, helping to restore and protect this special environment for generations to come.

To ensure minimal impact on the land, we host a limited number of weddings each year. This keeps the magic alive — for the woods, for wildlife, and for you.

A place where memories grow as naturally as the trees around you.

Bookings now open for next season. Let nature be your witness.

Perfect venue for our day!

What a fantastic venue! Stel really helped with everything we needed from recommendations on vendors through to sweeping out the rain water on the day after thunderstorms! We visited a few times before, to plan the site but also just to have a cuppa and relax by the fire! The weather was horrendous, torrential rain and thunderstorms in the week leading up to the day, but it didn't put a damper on anything at all! Stel helped in every way she could to keep the ground level and walkable, but I prepared my guests and said wellies would be helpful!

If you're vision is for an outdoor wedding in the woods you can't find anything better! It was truly magical! Love you Stel!!!

30th Birthday Celebrations

I celebrated my 30th Birthday at West Ruggers Green Woods and it was honestly the most magical event. The setting was perfect for a festival themed party. Estelle was amazing from start to finish, answering all sorts of questions and helping throughout all of the set-up and take-down too. I would recommend the venue to anyone looking for a cosy, outdoor venue that can be tailored to exactly what you want. Estelle also knows a lot of venders that helped make the event run smoothly. Thank you so much!

Perfect venue for a woodland wedding

We were having a hard time finding a venue that was laid-back and also a beautiful backdrop. We found wild woodland celebrations and booked a viewing. Estelle was so kind and welcoming, we instantly felt at home and knew we wanted to book. Walking through the forest is so peaceful. While trying to book a venue we found that it can be such a large expense, however this venue is excellent value and took a load off my mind. I really cant recommend this venue enough!

Magical Fairytale Wedding

We loved our wedding with Wild Woodland Weddings! The woodland is just stunning in all weathers, Stel and the team are fabulous and we got to put our personal stamp on every aspect of the day which is exactly what we wanted. This venue couldn’t be better for a DIY wedding- I’d do it again if I could!

Perfect venue

The perfect venue if you love nature. Very well maintained woods, but you still feel at one with nature with a path for a ailse and beautiful and breathtaking glade for your reception.
All our guests still say how much they loved our wedding. Stels woods were a huge part of that with its relaxing and beautiful charm.
Not only is the venue a hidden gem it also has a very kind and dedicated owner.

Most beautiful wedding venue!

We absolutely loved everything about this woodland wedding venue. The forest is beautiful and it truly felt like our own little woods for the weekend. Stel is amazing and really makes the woodlands special. She's there for any questions or needs, but also lets you get on with things by yourself.

We loved how the place transformed over the weekend. We arrived on Thursday to a quiet, peaceful woodland. By Saturday, it had become a fairytale wedding venue. Then on Monday, we walked through a serene, bird-chirping, completely empty forest again. We watched the forest transform, almost like it was sharing in our special moments.

Stel, thank you for your trust, help, and the joy you shared with us. We're so grateful to have met you and wish you and your wonderful woodlands all the best. You've created something really special here, and we'll always cherish the memories of our time in your forest.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

Hi, this is me!

My name is Estelle, my husband and I purchased the woods in 2017 with a regeneration project in mind. Little did we realise the journey it would take us on.

It was a steep learning curve and one of the lessons we quickly learnt was how much money it can take to begin to bring woods back into a managed system. (Managing woodlands properly helps with carbon sequestering, increasing biodiversty, put back into the local economy and is also great for mental and physical health)

We decided to open the woods up to host up to eight weddings per year. This would allow us to plough any profits straight back into the woods, making for a wedding that is the ultimate Eco-friendly wedding as your wedding helps to improve and maintain the environment where you celebrate your love with your nearest and dearest.

The woods is just that, it is first and foremost a woodland that is transformed for each celebration and quickly returned to its natural state. Unlike so many other venues that are first and foremost a venue with some woodland that they use for the backdrop of a wedding.

To us, the ability to offer truely Eco-friendly weddings where all the profits go back into the land is a privilage and a joy.

We would love to meet you soon, drop us a line and lets have a coffee round the fire!

Usually head down munching on anything green!

Hi, I am Wispa

I am an 11 year old Cob. I was bought to be a member of the team to help with timber extraction in the woods.

At first I was in the woods quite often, pulling timber out of the woods for it to be processed. But, at the moment I am taking it easy in the field waiting for the next lot of trees to be thinned out so I can get up there and do a bit more work.
