Full Description
Dating back to 1066, the estate is believed to be the extensive Staffordshire woodland noted in the Doomsday Book. The Grade II listed Queen Anne residence has been home to five generations of the Williams family - and their heritage remains firmly at its heart today. Over the past 10 years, in the hands of its current owners, the picturesque and secluded estate has been renovated and reimagined to become a highly-sought after venue for weddings, private events and corporate retreats. Offering an abundance of versatile event spaces accommodating from 50 to 650 guests, Alrewas Hayes is equally suited to large-scale celebrations through to more intimate weddings. Bathed in natural light and with a flourish of period touches throughout, The Orangery is an events space that brings an air of elegance to every occasion. Located within the wing of the house and featuring a distinctive curved ceiling, arched windows and opening out on to The Courtyard, it's the ideal setting for wedding ceremonies. Accommodating from 50 guests up to 180, The Lakeside is set overlooking the estate's private lake, woodlands and wheat fields. A blank canvas for the creative, The Lakeside can be transformed for any type of occasion and offers direct access to both The Courtyard and Williams Bar. Accessed via its own private walkway, the Great Barn is the largest space within Alrewas Hayes, accommodating events from 180 to 650 guests. Reminiscent of a cool airport hanger from the outside yet sleek and contemporary on the inside, it's a place where the unimaginable is possible. The Great Barn houses state-of-the-art production facilities including image mapping, world-class lighting and sound and staging systems. Alrewas Hayes is available to hire on an exclusive basis seven days a week, throughout the year.

Our Favourite Day
Our wedding was everything and more that we could have dreamed of. The team made our day so memorable, the service was incredible and the food was divine! We had been waiting 2 additional years to get married due to Covid, the team were so helpful, professional and considerate. It was like we were planning the day with friends when the planners are just as excited about your details as you are, nothing was ever too much trouble. All our guests said it was the best wedding they had attended, everything you want from your special day. Thank you to all the team at Alrewas Hayes, you’ll always hold a special place in our heart x

Made our special day extra memorable
Immediately after stepping into Alrewas Hayes, we knew it was the wedding venue for us. Over the course of the next year we were incredibly fortunate to work with Amie, who was always on hand to answer any queries which we had. We have received so many positive comments from our guests about the venue, the organisation of the day and the food - and we would have to agree with them all! If you are looking for a place to make your special day even more memorable then look no further than Alrewas Hayes. We can't thank them enough for making our day such a perfect one.

Everything I had dreamed of and more
Alrewas Hayes was the first venue we viewed and knew instantly it was the perfect place to get married. We often passed the brown tourist sign and wondered what it would be like, the photos online were so stunning, I actually set myself up to be disappointed when seeing it in person… however I was pleasantly proven wrong. I loved the way the venue flowed, everything is purposefully and thoughtfully designed. It felt intimate but spacious, open but secluded. It was perfect. Being able to have our dogs attend was another huge bonus of AH, we couldn’t imagine not having them as part of our day. We set our date and was guided every step of the way. Amie was our wedding Co ordinator and honestly went above and beyond, nothing was too much trouble and kept in constant contact. I was initially quite overwhelmed planning the whole day, however Amie look my rough ideas and together we crafted the perfect wedding. Every supplier I spoke to with regards to the wedding had nothing but good things to say about Alrewas Hayes. This put my mind at ease and it all came together exactly how I envisioned it. The morning of the wedding we got ready in the newly build ‘getting ready room’ then made our way to the bridal suite to put our dresses on. It was a nice touch to leave behind the mess of getting ready and made the photos in the bridal suite so much nicer. The rest of the day was a dream, so many moving parts behind the scenes but it was all taken care of without me even having to think about it. The wisteria in bloom in September was a real highlight and the formal photos in front of the house are stunning. Our fur babies joined us for the ceremony and drinks reception, they loved being around the grounds and fussed over. Having them as part of our day was incredible. We had so many compliments about the wedding breakfast, the food really was delicious. The bridal suite was the perfect place to spend the night as newlyweds, out of the way of all the other guests we really felt that we were away from everything. The bath was the perfect place to soak everything in the next day; before joining our guests for breakfast in the morning. We are so grateful that we had Amie to guide us from start to finish; she we there to wave us off the next day which as such a lovely touch. We felt like the only couple that got married their because the service was so wonderful and individualised. Thank you Amie and the whole AH team

Best Wedding Venue Imagine-able
Alrewas Hayes was the first wedding venue we visited which we immediately fell in love with and left all subsequent wedding venue tours for dust. The spacious venue gives endless opportunities for the most imaginative of minds to create their wedding dream whilst keeping a romantic and cosy feel. We liked the natural flow the different areas of the venue have and will forever consider burton-on-Trent a magical place thanks to the picturesque and private location of the venue, which adds to its magic. We were fortunate enough to have drone footage of the venue recorded on our wedding day which allowed us to relive the true beauty of the venue captured perfectly in the season of autumn. When we think of our wedding, we could not imagine recreating such a special day without such an amazing venue. The staff, from wedding planner to chefs and catering staff all excelled within their roles and made the day as seamless as they could. We are very grateful to Emma M our planner who co-ordinated everything perfectly from planning to execution on the day.

The most wonderful Day at Alrewas Hayes
What an absolute joy it was to have our wedding reception at Alrewas Hayes in august. The day was everything we wanted. Thanks to our wonderful wedding coordinator Emma, the day ran so smoothly, and so perfectly. Emma we can’t Thankyou enough for yours and the teams efforts to make our day so amazing. We had so many compliments on the wedding breakfast, absolutely amazing food including the canapés on arrival. The whole venue just looked so beautiful and there were no hiccups all day and we are so grateful for that. We had close family and friends join us in staying overnight at the venue. We had so many compliments on how modernly furnished, spotless and comfortable the bedrooms were. The honeymoon suite was absolutely fantastic for us too, we only wish we could have stayed for a few more nights in it! The lead up to the wedding was also brilliant as we had Emma at our back and call over email and face to face. Whenever I needed a meeting to talk about even the smallest things for the big day, nothing was too much trouble for Emma. I would highly recommend Alrewas Hayes and their staff to host your special day and I really hope we return again for another wedding! Thankyou so much for everything. Jess & Ed
