- SSuman and Josh02/12/2023Completely personalisedCompletely personalisedWe had the most wonderful day. Communication with Zara was excellent. We came over for 2 site visits which was really helpful. We had total freedom and flexibility to do the wedding the way we wanted as it was a dry hire. We had a 4 hat tipi, crepe van, garden games, stunning ceremony in the walled garden and after party karaoke in the lounge. It was excellent and I would encourage anyone who wants a completely bespoke wedding to have one here. It is a lot of work as the house does not offer any wedding services so you need to hire a coordinator and everything yourself, but Zara was still a helpful sounding board and was on hand to answer questions regarding the use of the space. This is a licensed venue so we were able to get married here with a registrar. Wish we could do it all again!We had the most wonderful day. Communication with Zara was excellent.
