Be it an elopement, big family get together, lakeside ceremony, festival, or country escape, the time you spend celebrating with us will feel like a holiday. - With each wedding we exclusively offer our beautiful farmhouse, private hot tubs and sauna, accommodation for 19 for 3 nights, 1-bedroom bridal cottage for 4 nights and during the spring and summer 5 luxury Bell tents for hire, sleeping an additional 10-20 people. - We also offer lots of advice and support to help you plan your theme, we're here to help you every step of the way. From offering the flexibility to have your own caterers, or to self-cater, to helping plan details and family arrangements. - We offer various settings for your wedding, in our handcrafted lakeside gazebo, dappled with sunlight, filtering through the trees, or at sunset bathed in the golden light. Or inside in our beautiful old stone barn which offers a rustic feel. - If you're planning a smaller wedding or intimate elopement, the main farmhouse offers a choice of rooms with oak beams and inglenook fireplaces, all licenced for ceremonies. - Be creative and keep it authentic to you, host a wedding breakfast in the stone barn or under a stretch canopy. Hold the nuptials by the lake, then celebrate with a full reception dinner in the barn or a hog roast on the patio, followed by cocktails and stargazing or hold your wedding reception inside a traditional Tipi or Bedouin Tent, with string lights, creating a magical atmosphere. - We can help you organise anything and everything, you can truly have complete control over creating the wedding you want. - At Deer’s Leap, you will always find yourself enveloped in nature’s relaxed ambience and our team’s warmth and care.

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Heather
When James, my husband and I were looking for a special place where we could share our important day, not just with each other, but with our children, friends and family, we soon realised that unless we wanted someone else’s idea of a wedding, we would have to get married at home, at Deer’s Leap. We also realised that the magic of a Deer’s Leap wedding was too special not to share and we have been running weddings here ever since.

Deer's Leap was always on hand to offer advice
From start to finish Heather and her team at Deer's Leap was always on hand to offer advice, answer any questions no matter how trivial and helped us create our bespoke wedding. The use of the Bridal cottage and farmhouse for the duration of the wedding weekend was massively beneficial and meant that guests could socialise and those travelling from far away had somewhere homely and comfy to stay. The staff were friendly, helpful and during the day all went the extra mile.

We could have a truly bespoke wedding day
I can't even begin to put into words how amazing our wedding was. Heather and the team made it the most special, smooth and personal experience and we honestly can't think of a thing we would change or have done differently. Heather clearly loves what she does because there are no hidden costs and she truly just wants your day to be perfect. Throughout the planning process, Heather was incredible. She was so accommodating and made us feel like anything was possible.

It was just perfect
What can we say, we couldn't have asked for more from Deer's Leap Retreat. It was just perfect. We wanted a relaxed, rustic wedding that allowed our friends and family to feel at home and really have a great time and this is what happened. Heather and James, and their team, worked tirelessly to help us create the best day. We were given guidance throughout the process meaning we never felt lost or overwhelmed. So many of our guests told us that it was the best wedding they had ever been to.

The location of the venue is incredible
Our wedding at Deer's Leap Retreat was so special and magical. The location of the venue is incredible, nestled in the rolling hills it feels both snug and expansive at the same time. We were fortunate to visit the venue a number of times and see Deer's Leap in Winter and Autumn, Spring and Summer, the experience kept transforming offering something new and beautiful. We can't thank you enough, we had so much fun because we knew we were in safe hands!
