ARLEY HALL AND GARDENS 01565 777 353 | www.arleyhallandgardens.com Arley is an oh-so romantic wedding venue perfect for grand occasions, civil ceremonies and small intimate celebrations. Located at the centre of a 2,000 acre country estate, it boasts a beautiful morning preparations suite, breathtaking wedding spaces and on-site weddingnight accommodation. The venue can be intimate and peaceful or full of grandeur, the choice is yours. The gardens here are outstanding and are reknowned for their vitality, variety and historical interest. They’ve been lovingly created over the last 250 years by successive generations of the same family and offer a blend of traditional design and inspired modern ideas. The stunning herbaceous border provides a wonderful backdrop for al fresco ceremonies, and quercus ilex columns along with the pleached lime tree avenue are particularly photogenic. Ceremonies take place either in the Hall with its lavish ceiling, elaborate carvings and stained-glass windows, in the gardens or in the Cruck Barn. The former is also able to host your celebrations, as is the Olympia Barn. Recommended capacity for a sit-down meal at round tables is 100. http://helenwilliamsphotography.co.uk http://helenwilliamsphotography.co.uk www.mattpriestley.co.uk 33 WINTER VENUES
