Intimate Weddings & Elopements

For couples who want to celebrate with their closest loved ones, without the fuss of a big day.

No seating plans, no distant relatives, no spreadsheets. Just you, 4–25 of your favourite people, and two nights in the Ribble Valley countryside. Say your vows, share a long lunch, and stay the night – all in one beautiful place.

How It Works

Three simple parts – your ceremony, your celebration meal, and your accommodation. Mix and match to suit you.

This is a daytime celebration, beautifully unhurried, finishing by 9pm with no evening reception or entertainment. It's designed to be relaxed, personal, and perfectly paced.

Whether it's just the two of you and your witnesses, or a gathering of fifteen, we'll put together a personalised quote based on what feels right for your day.

 FAQs

  • Between 4 and 25. You'll need at least two witnesses for the ceremony to be legal, so four is the minimum including yourselves. If you're thinking closer to 25, we can sometimes accommodate this by combining the lodges with the Farmhouse – get in touch and we can talk through how it would work.

  • Monday to Thursday. We keep weekends for our larger Barn Takeover Weddings, but weekend dates can sometimes be available if you're booking within 10 months – get in touch and we'll check availability.

  • Your ceremony, a glass of champagne on arrival for all guests, exclusive use of the dressing room, our in-house photographer and content creator, and music through our house system.

  • Of course. Our in-house photographer is included, but you're welcome to bring your own instead or as well.
