No. 01
The Arrival Court
Gravel court · guests from three
Yew, ivy and the 1868 façade. Your guests arrive the way the house always intended — down the lime walk, into gravel and rose-scent.
Weddings at Elmswood
The whole estate, for one wedding.
Every Elmswood wedding is exclusive-use: the house, the lawns, the orangery and the terrace close to everyone but your guest list. Here is how the day is built — and what it costs.
The four rooms of the day
No. 02
The Ceremony Lawn
140 seats · wet-weather room held
A level acre of cut lawn framed by the long border. The aisle faces west, so the evening light is behind your photographs, not in your eyes.
No. 03
The Orangery
Dinner for 120 · candlelit
The 1870 glasshouse, restored pane by pane. Long tables, linen and taper candles — dinner under glass while the sky changes colour.
No. 04
The Dusk Terrace
200 evening guests · licensed to midnight
Festoon lights over stone balustrades, candles in storm glasses. The band plays here; the garden does the rest.
Three ways to take the estate
Named for the trees that hold the ceremony lawn. Every tier is exclusive-use — the difference is time, not privacy.
The Magnolia
The full weekend — Friday noon to Sunday noon
Rehearsal dinner in the orangery, the wedding day entire, and a slow Sunday breakfast before the cars come. The estate is yours for forty-eight hours.
from $18,500 USD
The Linden
One full day — Saturday or Sunday
The classic Elmswood day: ceremony on the lawn, dinner under glass, terrace to midnight. Access from nine in the morning for your florist and your nerves.
from $9,800 USD
The Snowdrop
Midweek · up to 60 guests
The same estate at a gentler scale — Monday to Thursday, sixty guests, the orangery set short and candlelit. Nothing about it feels small.
from $5,900 USD
From-prices cover the estate and the house team for the season shown in the folio. Ask for the Elmswood folio when you enquire — it itemises every inclusion, and every exclusion, on one page.

The estate keeps four calendars
Spring
Blossom on the lime walk, snowdrops done, magnolia out. The garden’s loudest month is April.
Summer
Ceremonies at four, dinner in daylight, the terrace until the last car. The classic season books first.
Autumn
Golden hour comes early and stays. October in the orangery is the photographers’ favourite.
Winter
Sixty guests, candlelight from three, the house warm against the dark. Quietly the most romantic.
“We booked The Linden and were treated like we’d bought the place. Tom walked my father through the cellar like they’d known each other thirty years, and Sylvie ran the day so quietly we forgot it had moving parts.”
One wedding at a time
Pick a season. We’ll find the date.
Tell Sylvie the month you’re circling and she’ll come back with the exact dates the estate can hold for you — and the folio that prices them.
