A countryside celebration shaped
by gardens, heritage, and the luxury
of a weekend entirely your own.
WEDDINGS AT THE CITADEL
Weddings here unfold at an unhurried pace, moving gently through slow mornings, garden wanderings, and golden light settling softly over the lawn.
For couples who love beautiful things and value privacy, The Citadel offers rare space—to linger over champagne, slip away beneath the trees, and celebrate in a setting that feels unmistakably yours.
"we host only a small handful of weddings each year, choosing dates when the gardens and light are at their most beautiful."
— Alex, venue owner
THE DAY UNFOLDS
If you are staying with us, your wedding weekend begins inside the House. A warm, sandstone backdrop filled with quiet corners, heritage details, and the gentle hum of a family home that has welcomed guests for more than 75 years.
Bridal preparations unfold upstairs, while the groom’s party gathers downstairs for music, pool, and a steadying drink before the ceremony.
Outside, the gardens wrap around you. Colourful in spring, abundant in summer, golden in autumn. Ever-changing. Always beautiful. The reason so many couples fall in love the moment they arrive.
And then, the marquee. A bespoke, light-filled space set directly before the house—offering complete freedom in design, yet grounded by lawns that are levelled, striped, and impeccably cared for. The perfect canvas for dinner, dancing, and celebration beneath soft evening light.
Across the weekend, there is no rush. No tight turnaround. Just time to settle in, savour each hour, and let the day unfold naturally.
