Chinese Weddings
Tea ceremony, banquet, both.
A barn venue with the space and patience for a Chinese wedding done properly. Tea ceremony with both families, door games at the lodge, a banquet that flows without anyone watching the clock.

Why Chinese Families Choose Us
Traditions, made room for.
Chinese weddings often combine a morning tea ceremony, a Western-style ceremony in the Orangery, and an evening banquet in the Oak Barn, all with different outfits and family roles.
Tea Ceremony Space
Private, calm space for the tea ceremony with parents and grandparents, with seating arranged in the traditional way.
Door Games at the Lodge
The bridesmaids' door games happen at a lodge on site, so the groom's procession to fetch the bride flows beautifully into the day.
In-House Catering
Our own catering team will shape menus around your traditions. Wedding breakfast served in the Oak Barn.
Decor Set Up For You
Decorator access from 11am on the day and our events manager sets the space up for you.
