So they’ve finally popped the question and you’ve said yes… Now comes the hard part. But it doesn’t need to be as difficult as it sounds; a self-catering wedding home means you can have as much or as little input as you like, and your wedding can be personalised exactly to what you want.
Hosting your wedding at a self-catering manor house can be a fantastic choice as it often means there will be space for many of the guests to stay at the venue. Hiring a self-catered venue means that you have more freedom and flexibility to personalise your special day and truly make it the wedding day you’ve dreamt of. Nothing says romance like a huge house in the countryside (think Pemberley from Jane Austen’s classic Pride and Prejudice!) and many of the owners will even allow you to book out the property for a full weekend, meaning your celebrations can continue overnight…
