Wedding Ceremony

We are very fortunate to have several licensed venues within the garden where you are able to legally marry.

The Belvedere Pavilion and lawn are hidden away at the top of the garden with wonderful countryside views where your ceremony will be held outdoors. We will arrange for all seating for your guests for the ceremony and can seat up to approximately 150.

If you are looking for an indoor venue we have the Bryan Mayer Pavilion which can seat up to 70 guests for the ceremony.

For an intimate ceremony of up to 10 guests we are also able to offer the Glasshouse.

 

Wedding Reception

We have many options available for you to host your wedding reception here at Dorothy Clive Garden.

For an intimate reception of up to 15 people we are able to offer a small marquee or “Little Hat” on the lower tearoom lawn. Set amongst flowerbeds with views over the garden it is at the heart of the garden.

Receptions for up to 40 people we are able to offer the Mayer Pavilion for a sit down meal for you and your guests for your reception.

Our super in house catering tea are able to offer the choice of a “Wedding Afternoon Tea” or “Rustic Wedding Buffet” or you are welcome to hire your own caterers.

If you are looking for a venue to have a larger reception, we have a very generous garden paddock lawn which is ideal for you to site a marquee or tipi on for your reception and all of your guests.

We include 3 days hire of the venue so you and your suppliers are able to set up and clear away and have plenty of time.

Any of these reception options can be hired on their own or as part of arrangements along with a ceremony.

Classic Spanish Guitarist – Richard Chapman

I’m a very experienced classical guitarist who has played in a lot of weddings and corporate events as well as playing professionally as a soloist in classical music festivals. I trained at Trinity College of Music in London.

I can offer repertoire that covers light classical pieces, Spanish music as well as instrumental arrangements of popular songs. I am also happy to meet couples and play a bit if that helps.

For further details please click on my wedding page link below where you can also hear some recordings I’ve made. These recordings are a little less classical in style but will give you an idea of what I do.
