Your Exclusive Wedding Venue

A walk through your big day

Here at The Abbey, we hope to inspire you and help you create your dream day, so we’ve put together a walk through of what your wedding could look like. Right from arrival, through to the wedding itself and onto the day after.

When you marry at The Abbey, you will take over the entire venue for your wedding. The chapel function room, 38 bedrooms and two suites will be exclusively yours for the duration of your celebration. Our expert weddings team and staff will look after every detail – from the coordination of the day, right down to the decorations and food, so you can make the most of your special day.

All of our weddings are bespoke and fully flexible, so no two weddings will be the same. Your big day will be completely unique to you, but we hope this will give you a little inspiration of how things could run.

Your Wedding Day

Your big day is here

It’s your wedding day! Gather together your wedding party, crack open the champagne and enjoy a spot of breakfast.

It’s time to get ready in your suites

The Abbey has two stunning suites for you to get ready during the big day. The bridal suite is complete with a dedicated "get ready" area, with four vanity stations, a floor to ceiling threefold mirror and plenty of natural light. Making it the perfect space for the bridal party to get ready in. You can also see out into the front courtyard so you can watch your loved ones arrive. The Honeymoon suites has two vanity stations and plenty of space to hang suits for the groom and his groomsmen to get ready.
