Packages Shaped Around Your Day

We are lucky enough to be able to cater for intimate weddings ranging from just the 2 of you, right up to exclusive weddings for a maximum of 110 for a formal sit down. A maximum of 180 for an informal buffet and for your evening reception.

Access to bridal suite/room 10 is from 11am on the day of your wedding, unless you are staying the night before (subject to hotel availability). Suppliers are allowed access to the banqueting room and outside ceremony area from 10am.

There is cool and hot air conditioning in the main banqueting room, as well as central heating throughout the whole venue. During the colder months we have 3 open fires, which can be lit. If you choose for these not to be, please let us know. Our outside wedding pavilion is also heated, to ensure you stay nice and warm.

Yes, there is cool and hot air conditioning in the main banqueting room.

Last orders at the bar are at 11.45pm, with the bar closing and music to finish at midnight. We would recommend all non-residents have prebooked taxis. Any residents are more than welcome to have a night cap whilst we close the venue.

Absolutely not, your event manager will coordinate your suppliers and set up your decorations (within reason), with the exception of anything hanging or needing construction. Please ensure that you check all areas you’d like to decorate before your big day as our room space can be limited.

Yes, we have a place to store your wedding items from a couple of days beforehand. This can be discussed and arranged with your event manager. We highly advise that wedding cakes and flowers are delivered on the day of your wedding and we wouldn’t be able to store any suits or dresses. Any items left overnight are left at your own risk.

We do not allow outside caterers to be brought in, but we have a huge selection of food and drink options available. If you’d like something more individual our in-house chef is more than happy to discuss and create a bespoke menu.

Yes, we have PA system outside, in the conservatory and in the banqueting room. It can only be used to play music during the ceremony, wedding breakfast or an entrance song as you are announced into the room. It is not substantial enough to provide your evening entertainment.

Yes, real flame candles are allowed as long as the holder exceeds the height of the flame.

Fireworks are only permitted on 5th November or the closest weekend to that date and on New Year’s Eve. Any fireworks must be organised through Sheene Mill’s trusted supplier. Chinese Lanterns are not allowed.

Only registered assistance dogs can attend the ceremony, no general pets/animals are allowed for licensing purposes. However, pets/animals are more than welcome for any photo opportunities during your drinks reception, providing they are outside only.

We are unable to allow you to pin or stick anything to the walls/ceilings that will potentially remove any paint or damage any of the interior. The fabrication of the venue and its fixtures and fittings cannot be damaged in any way, moved or re-located. But you are welcome to hang bunting and fairy lights from the beams in the conservatory by wrapping or tying them around. Please be aware this will need to be done by a member of your wedding party on the day of your wedding and removed by 10am the following day, you will also need to provide a ladder.

Absolutely, once booked, you are more than welcome to re-visit with suppliers and family as many times as you wish. Visits can easily be arranged by phone or email via your events manager.

Your registrar has the final say regarding whether the ceremony can take place outside or not.

You can get married outside from March to October. We can also arrange for a marquee to be erected to protect you from the sun or the rain.

Our car park is designed to fit 55 cars, but we also have access to an overflow across the road.

There is parking on-site and across the road for guests to use. Cars can be left overnight at owners’ own risk and must be collected by 11am the following day.

Our packages are based on minimum adult numbers. Although, if you have less adults and some children, we can look to dissolve them into the numbers. This way the children would still get their meal and the alcohol allocation would be spread among the adults.

The majority of the venue is on ground level (excluding the Top Lounge) and we have ramps where necessary. There is a small step through the front door of the main building which unfortunately we cannot build a ramp on as it is a listed building. However, there is a side gate to the garden accessible to wheelchair users.

If you are vegetarian/vegan etc. or have any allergies or dietary requirements we need to know in advance! Please collect this information from your guests well in advance so we can order the correct food in due course (due to the volume of events we host each year and to allow our kitchen to prepare in advance, this info is requested from them 1 month prior at the very latest when we finalise your details). With regret we are unable to cook any last minute alternative meals on the day due to guests forgetting to tell the couple of their specific needs in advance.

Yes. We insist on it.
