Description

Owlpen Manor in its hidden private valley is the "paradise incomparable on earth", wrote the great poet Algernon Charles Swinburne. Set your wedding in this Cotswold paradise- barns, gardens and marquees provide romance and spoiling intimacy for a never-to-be-forgotten day! The Owlpen team will work with you to create your own bespoke package. We will be on hand to take care of you and your family throughout the entire process, ensuring your day is tailored exactly to your wishes. Owlpen is an exclusive and adaptable setting for any special occasion. Everywhere you look there are inexhaustible photo opportunities against a spectacular Cotswold backdrop. Offering a number of magical locations for your civil ceremony, wedding reception, dancing and dining, the estate is exclusively yours for the entire weekend. Receptions can be held for just 20 and up to 200. The site is licensed and we offer a superb range of selected wines; we can also run a pay-bar when requested. The Cyder Barn with its gigantic oak cider press and cruck trusses is a uniquely flexible and intimate setting for up to 120 guests with the spectacular Pole Barn next door, completed in 2020. We specialise in whole weekend weddings here at Owlpen, or three days midweek. No rush, no stress, and lots of time to relax with your friends and family. Have a barbecue, enjoy wild swimming, indulge in luxury dining, or go for a long walk. It's up to you! The manor gardens are an incomparably romantic setting for larger weddings for up to 200 guests in a marquee. With their centuries-old clipped topiary and box parterres, they provide staggeringly beautiful views across to Owlpen Manor and Holy Cross church, a truly unique spot for your special occasion. Civil ceremonies and partnerships are held in the Great Hall of the Manor House or the Cyder Barn. These were licensed as Approved Premises under the Marriages and Civil Partnership Acts in 2015.

I would highly recommend this as a wedding venue
My sister recently got married at Owlpen and we had use of the grounds and cottages over the long weekend. Hugo and the team were so helpful and definitely went above and beyond to make sure the day went as smoothly as possible. The grounds are beautiful and the cottages were all very nice with very comfy beds and lovely little touches. I would highly recommend this as a wedding venue with great accommodation options.

the best experience of my life
We have just held our wedding at Owlpen Manor and it was the best experience of my life. The team are all absolutely incredible, they are all so, so thoughtful and kind. I wasn’t expecting for them to be so hands on and took all the worry and stress out of the day. They calmed me down when I was nervously waiting to walk down the aisle, dealt with all the things that needed to be done to make it a smooth and enjoyable experience. It was the best 2 days of my life. Owlpen is a truly magical place

The loveliest place in England
We had our wedding at Owlpen Manor last weekend and I can agree it is ‘the loveliest place in England’. The organisation & communication of the team wedding coordinating were superb start to finish. We had all of the cottages for family and friends the weekend of the wedding and they were beautiful, some are very old and have quirks, which is amazing and all have very comfy beds and all guests were so happy with their stay and value for money. The venue being dog friendly was a great benefit for

I don’t think I have the words
I don’t think I have the words to describe how perfect our wedding was at Owlpen. Not only is the setting just beyond beautiful, and you get to have all your guests stay on site, but everyone who works there is so friendly and relaxed - I found it impossible to get stressed about anything. The drinks flowed, everyone was rocking and having the best time ever. I really hope I get to have another celebration there at some point. I also think they’ve tricked me into thinking I could be a wedding pl

above and beyond
We were so impressed with Owlpen, having chosen them for our wedding day. First of all, the setting is absolutely stunning, steeped in history and we really appreciated being able to enjoy the site over the weekend, so we could relax the night before and enjoy a meal out of one of the cottages with our guests. Communication was always good and the weekend of the wedding, Hugo and team really went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and we weren't worrying on the day. Our guests

such a fantastic venue
I attended a wedding at Owlpen and it was such a fantastic venue! The setting is beautiful, the cottage accommodation was comfortable and charming, and the whole wedding ran extremely smoothly. We're already thinking of going back in the future for a holiday stay so that we can enjoy the scenery and do some walks which we didn't have time for while the wedding was going on.

a completely wonderful venue
If you are thinking of having your wedding here- just do it! We booked Owlpen and all its cottages for 3 nights for our wedding in June 2023 and also booked glamping on its lower lawn by the ponds. During the planning Hugo, Bella and Tonia were so responsive and helpful, continuously coming up with ideas and suggestions for how we could use the whole property come rain or shine. They were fun to work with and made all our suggestions work from Friday night legal ceremony, drinks and BBQ, to the

Gorgeous Owlpen Manor
We got married at the gorgeous Owlpen Manor on the 25th of October and it was just heaven. The team are friendly and so caring, in the lead up and on our wedding day itself they made you feel like part of a family and that your wedding day mattered. It is the most beautiful, hidden away area of the Cotswolds (which does mean its remote and a little challenging to get there) and I can honestly say for us it was the prefect place to get married. If you're looking for a stunning venue, secluded in

You made us feel so at ease
We just got married at Owlpen last weekend and I am truly at a loss for words at how Incredible our Wedding weekend was! We viewed Owlpen one year ago and instantly fell in love with the feeling of being on the grounds and for the warmth we felt after meeting Bella for our tour. Exactly one year later, our big day finally arrived. Bella and Luke made our Wedding even better than we could have dreamed. You are kind, funny, attentive, and just so great at your job. You made us feel so at ease dur

We can’t express how amazing the team were
We got married at Owlpen Manor on 2nd December and we had the best wedding weekend! It makes such a difference having the whole weekend so you can set up and enjoy the amazing venue before the day. We can’t express how amazing the team were at Owlpen, so incredibly friendly, professional and relaxed. A special mention to Bella and Theo who coordinated the wedding, they were both fantastic. Really put us at ease and made sure the day ran smoothly. We can’t recommend Owlpen enough, a beautiful
