Summer weddings at Crumplebury are anything but ordinary   

Imagine this: the sun is shining, the Champagne is flowing, and you’ve got the keys to your very own private estate. Welcome to summertime at Crumplebury – a countryside wedding venue that’s anything but ordinary. With 1,500 acres of rolling Herefordshire hills, sprawling wildflower meadows, and glorious indoor spaces that bring the outside in, it’s the perfect setting for your big day.  

Of course, Crumplebury is spectacular all year round, but something about summertime just hits differently. Here’s what you can expect from a summer wedding here… 

Crumplebury Q2 First Look Event

Getting ready is half the fun

Your day begins in The Prep Studio – a peaceful little slice of countryside heaven. This serene space has been thoughtfully designed for that all-important wedding morning calm. Surrounded by glorious greenery, it’s where hair gets styled, bubbles get poured, and nerves are eased with giggles, tunes, and your favourite people. It’s the ultimate space to start your story.  

If you’re feeling peckish, we can provide a delicious selection of grazing boards for you to nibble on throughout the morning. It’s important to keep those energy levels up before the day ahead! 

Say “I do” to summer ceremonies  

There’s something so utterly dreamy about a summer ceremony at Crumplebury. Say “I do” bathed in sunlight in The Gallery with its spectacular floor-to-ceiling windows that make the incredible views the focal point of your ceremony.  

And nothing says “summer wedding” quite like tying the knot under the open skies. Our outdoor ceremony spot in The Kitchen Garden offers you the chance to take your vows in the open air with the glorious countryside as your backdrop. 

Sun-soaked celebrations  

Sunshine on your shoulders, delicious drink in hand, and the freedom to do it all your way. That’s what a summer reception at Crumplebury feels like. 

As “I do” turns to “let’s party,” the entire estate becomes your playground. You’ve got acres of countryside charm and a collection of cool, design-led spaces that shift with the mood, from laid-back lounging to full-blown dancefloor moments. 

Start with spritzes on the Sunken Terrace, mingle with your guests and raise a toast to your new husband or wife. When it’s time to dine, step into The Great Barn with its soaring ceilings, long tables laden with food, and the kind of atmosphere you can only get when everyone’s having the time of their lives. 

Feeling peckish later? Head to Green Cow Kitchen, where our chefs are firing up the pizza oven or loading the grill with BBQ goodness, the perfect accompaniment to a laidback celebration.  

Since you have the entire estate to yourself, you can rest assured that there’s a space for everyone, whatever their vibe is. From quiet chats in The Snug, wild moves on the dancefloor, to wandering through meadows in full bloom, when you host your wedding at Crumplebury, the sky’s the limit. The whole day flows effortlessly, indoors and out, with that signature Crumplebury edge: stylish, bold, and a little unexpected. 

Your ultimate summer wedding menu 

Forget boring wedding food. At Crumplebury, food is bold, seasonal and anything but ordinary. For summer, we’re all about punchy flavours, bold colours, and plates that bring the sunshine. 

Our chefs craft every dish around the freshest British produce, from heritage tomatoes bursting with sweetness to zesty herbs picked straight from the garden. Expect menus that sing of the season: silky citrus curds, smoky grilled meats, delicate seafood, and light-as-air puddings that practically float off the plate. 

This is your story told in flavours, whether you go for a four-course fine-dining extravaganza, or load up plates from our delicious sharing boards, there’s something that everyone will enjoy.  

And of course, what’s a great meal without something fabulous to sip? Our drinks offering is just as seasonal and celebratory. From crowd-pleasing cocktails to icy Aperol Spritz, chilled rosé and garden-fresh garnishes, we’ll serve up drinks that feel like summer in a glass. If you’re interested in creating something bespoke, our team can create a cocktail menu just for you.   

Seamless, exceptional service  

When you’re planning your summer wedding, we want you feeling as chilled as the rosé. That’s where our team come in. They’re the experts on all things Crumplebury (and absolute legends, if we may say so ourselves) and have a unique eye for the extraordinary.  

From the first time you step foot on the estate to your final goodbyes, the team are on hand to advise, support, and bring your wildest dreams to life. They’re real people who genuinely love what they do and are passionate about making your vision a reality – no cookie-cutter weddings in sight!  

Your own private estate  

When you choose Crumplebury, you get the whole place to yourselves. The entire 1,500 acres of glorious countryside are yours to explore, from the curated gardens to the wildflower meadow and open skies as far as the eye can see. It’s a magnificent mix of untamed beauty and thoughtful design, made for celebration.  

After the dancing’s done, up to 26 of your favourite people can settle into our luxury bedrooms.  Meanwhile, you and your new spouse can escape to The Oakley – our dreamy honeymoon suite with a four-poster bed, roll-top bath and views that go on forever. 

The next morning, you’ll meet back up with your favourites and reminisce about the best day of your life over breakfast together.
