Weddings

At The Big House we know all about weddings
Not only did Peter & Caroline (two of the partners) use Tone Dale as their UK wedding venue, but Peter oversaw over a thousand weddings during his time running Richard Branson’s Roof Gardens in London.

A wedding is the one time in your life when it’s all about you: what you want, when you want it. The Big House will never tell you what to do – you tell us. We will enjoy helping you to create your perfect weekend wedding or country house wedding exactly to your specifications.

What we can offer is the best advice from our years of personal experience. We provide a personal service beginning with an extensive brief by you telling us the “look and feel” of what you would wish. Our job is to match our delivery to this.

The Houses

The houses are hired from Friday to Monday (for midweek please ask) and most people tend to share the cost amongst the guests staying and therefore there is no 'venue cost' as such for the wedding.

Both Tone Dale House and Widcombe Grange have wedding licences.

The Ceremonies
We can arrange the ceremonies inside the houses (Widcombe Grange up to 30 guests and Tone Dale House up to 75 guests), although sometimes we can arrange a humanist ceremony in the garden for larger numbers.

The Marquee
Marquees are priced according to their size, and our quotes include all linings, lighting, tables and chairs for the number of people attending. We can also arrange flowers, cakes, and fun activities including massage, archery, hot air balloons and croquet.
