What’s compelling about Naas Court for weddings is its mix of rustic authenticity and modern capability. The venue offers exclusive use, giving couples privacy to shape their day without competing events. Two of its licensed ceremony spaces include the East Barn (capacity 150) and the South Cart Shed (capacity 84).

In terms of scale and flexibility, Naas Court can host up to about 130 guests for seated dining (using 12 round tables plus a top table) and accommodates up to 200 guests for evening receptions. The hire includes early access (setup from 10:00 the day before) and coverage on the wedding day until midnight (with optional late licences).

Because it is set in rural Gloucestershire between the Forest of Dean and the River Severn, it offers scenic surroundings for photography and outdoor mingling, with the footprint of the historic barn providing dramatic interior backdrops. One real wedding described how even in heavy rain, the barn’s light and charm made indoor shots work beautifully and kept the atmosphere alive.

The Great Hall gives a magical ‘Harry Potter style’ welcome with double-height vaulted ceiling, enormous feature  fireplace and a minstrels’ gallery. Guests can enjoy this space  throughout your day and relax on the sofas.

The Library houses the ornate solid-oak, hand-carved dining table ‒  perfect for displaying photos of the couple or maybe games to keep  younger guests amused. The gilded Drawing Room has its own baby grand  piano, as well as a famous ornate ceiling known as the ‘Burst of Angels’. Couples often choose to display their wedding cake in the bay  window, with the Orangery visible across the lawn behind.

There are two bars in the main house. The Cocktail Bar is used to  keep guests refreshed throughout your day, whilst the Champagne Bar is  adjacent to the disco for your evening party. The DJ is included but a  playlist can be created to ensure your musical tastes are adhered to on  the day.

Outside you cannot help but be blown away by the 100-acre deer park  and the rolling hills around you. One of the best things about this  venue is the serene and picturesque setting that never fails to amaze  guests from the moment they arrive. Visit https://www.audries-park.co.uk/ for details.

.Couples enjoy exclusive use of the estate during their celebration, giving them privacy to shape the day exactly as they wish. The estate presents multiple indoor and outdoor options: a restored 19th-century barn with stone walls, exposed beams and a connected bar/dance floor, an elegant Orangery entrance, walled gardens, courtyards and landscaped lawns (ideal for lush garden ceremonies). Its terrain spans over 600 acres, incorporating woodlands and scenic grounds, plus on-site heritage cottages and glamping for guest stays (sleeping ~43). One of its attractive policies is no corkage fees for couples bringing their own wine or bubbles. Real couples often highlight the team’s support, the venue’s accommodating flexibility, and the photography-friendly settings — “from heritage stone textures to private gardens” — as major highlights in their reviews.

Offering a uniquely intimate charm for couples, Crown and Sandy's is licensed for civil ceremonies and can host weddings of up to about 80 guests, providing a more personal, cozy feel than larger estates. The venue prides itself on its flexibility — whether you want a full ceremony + reception or simply a reception, the team (including a dedicated coordinator and chef) works to customize the day. One of its standout features is access to an apple orchard behind the venue, which couples frequently use for relaxed photo moments (especially when the weather permits). In one real wedding, the food drew glowing praise from guests—some called it the “best wedding food ever”— and many appreciated the warm, village-pub atmosphere that balances comfort with character.
