Wedding Packages
At Howard Court, we are on hand to offer guidance and support from the moment you first speak to us, right up until the end of your big day and beyond. When you book with us, you join our special Howard Court family. Each and every couple is important to us, and we pride ourselves on offering a personal and flexible approach to make your wedding day perfect for you in every way.
Our Packages
We offer a number of packages, from our Weekend and Midweek weddings, to our Winter Twilight and Intimate weddings.
For all our wedding packages, you get exclusive use of the venue - we will never have more than one wedding taking place at a time.
Our packages include venue hire, food and drinks, and lots of little extras, and you can choose to go all out with ‘The Works’ or keep things simple with ‘No Frills’.
Our packages are based on our standard food and drink menus, which have plenty of options for you to choose from.
If you fancy something a little bit different, just let us know! Would you rather afternoon tea than a traditional wedding breakfast? Seen a champagne tower you want on Insta? Want a certain wine that you fell in love with on holiday? No problem, just let us know and we can create a bespoke package for you.
Both packages give you exclusive use of the old dairy ceremony barn, the stable barn, the courtyard, the gardens, the woodland, the meadows and the riverside cabin.
Enjoy two days with us, so your wedding isn’t over in the blink of an eye. Arrive from midday the day before your wedding, so that you or your venue stylist can spend the afternoon setting up and styling the barns in your own time. And if you opt for the on site accommodation, you and any guests staying here can then enjoy the venue up until midday the day after your wedding, so no rushing out of bed early!
