Description
Bredon Manor is a family home made for a wedding weekend. Set in Bredon, near Tewkesbury and Cheltenham on the Gloucestershire/Worcestershire border, the Georgian manor brings together gardens, a stone barn, cottages and a seasonal outdoor pool.
Owned and run by Charlie and Peter, Bredon hosts a limited number of weddings each year. Couples have exclusive use for their celebration, with time to settle in, make the spaces their own and spend more than a few hours with the people they have brought together.
The barn has two connected rooms, with space for a wedding breakfast for up to 80 guests and evening celebrations for up to 100. For larger weddings, a separately hired marquee on the front lawn accommodates up to 150 guests, with the Manor as its backdrop.
St Giles’ Church is immediately next door, reached through a private garden gate. Couples can walk straight from the churchyard into the gardens for reception drinks. Celebrant-led blessings can also take place in the barn or grounds. Bredon Manor is not licensed for civil ceremonies, so couples choosing a blessing complete the legal ceremony separately.
Napier is the exclusive caterer, creating menus around each couple, from canapés and a wedding breakfast to relaxed evening food. There is no corkage charge for bringing your own wine and champagne, and couples are free to choose their other suppliers.
Weekend hire includes the Coach House and Manor House Lodge for eight guests on Friday and Saturday, plus two Manor bedrooms on Saturday, bringing the included Saturday accommodation to 12. Two further Manor bedrooms can be added on Saturday, taking the total to 16.
Friday access to the barn allows time to set up. Long tables and chairs for 80, a PA system and microphone in the barn, venue coordination on Friday and Saturday, and parking for up to 50 cars are included. Friday welcome events and Sunday pool celebrations are available as paid additions.
Weddings take place on Saturdays, with optional celebrations either side. A private showround is the best way to explore the spaces and talk through how the weekend could work for you.

- AAlice and Ed02/10/2026The most incredible weekendThe most incredible weekendWe both wanted to say thank you so much to you and Louise for all your support during our wedding weekend. It really wouldn’t have come together so seamlessly without you both. We very much felt in safe hands, and everyone from suppliers to friends and family commented on how organised, polite, helpful and friendly you both were. You completely took the stress off us and allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the day.

From a coordinator’s perspective, it’s a joy because there are so many possibilities for how a wedding can look and feel, while the setting does so much of the work for you. It’s intimate and private without feeling small, and the combination of the manor, barn, gardens and church creates a wonderful atmosphere throughout the day.

It has so much character and gives couples enormous flexibility to create a day that feels personal to them, rather than like a standard wedding package. The church next door, beautiful grounds and different spaces across the estate also make the flow of the day work incredibly well. The team are welcoming, practical and genuinely invested in making each wedding a success.I’ve had the pleasure of coordinating weddings at Bredon Manor and it is a really special venue to work at.

Can we hold our ceremony at Bredon Manor?
St Giles’ Church is immediately next door, connected to the gardens by a private gate. Celebrant-led blessings can also take place in the barn or grounds. Bredon Manor is not licensed for civil ceremonies, so couples choosing a blessing arrange their legal ceremony separately.
How many guests can we invite?
The barn seats up to 80 guests for a wedding breakfast and accommodates up to 100 for the evening. For larger celebrations, a separately hired marquee on the front lawn accommodates up to 150 guests, with the Georgian Manor as its backdrop.
Can our family and friends stay?
Weekend hire includes the Coach House and Manor House Lodge, sleeping eight guests on Friday and Saturday nights. Two Manor bedrooms are also included on Saturday, bringing that night’s accommodation to 12 guests. Two further Manor bedrooms can be added on Saturday, taking the total to 16.
Can we choose our caterer and bring our own drinks?

What help is included with planning and setup?
Venue coordination is included on Friday and Saturday, along with Friday access to set up the barn. Long tables and chairs for up to 80 guests, plus the barn’s PA system and microphone, are included. We’ll help you understand how the spaces work and plan the flow of your celebration.
Will Bredon Manor be exclusively ours?
Yes. You have exclusive use of the estate’s wedding spaces and grounds for your wedding weekend, including the barn, gardens, pool area and cottages. There are no other weddings taking place alongside yours. Bredon Manor is our family home, and we host only a small number of weddings each year.
What happens if it rains?
For outdoor celebrant-led ceremonies, the barn provides an indoor alternative for up to 80 guests. For larger marquee weddings, the marquee is your main covered reception space, with the barn available as additional indoor space. We’ll discuss the wet-weather arrangements around your guest numbers and chosen layout.
Is marquee hire included, and what should we budget?
Marquee hire is separate from the venue hire fee and is required for weddings with more than 80 seated guests. As a guide, a marquee seating 120 guests costs approximately £8,500 including VAT, with flooring, lighting, a bar and power. The final price depends on your date, layout and specification.
Is Bredon Manor LGBTQ+ friendly?
Absolutely. Bredon Manor is owned and personally run by husbands Charlie and Peter. We welcome LGBTQ+ couples and couples of every identity, and shape each wedding around the people getting married. There are no fixed templates or assumptions about what your celebration should look like.
