We love... The Wisteria Room is a breathtaking suite with huge antique mirrors to give brides a full view of their dress. There’s hanging space to accommodate long wedding veils, dress trains and accessories. With fantastic views of the back lawn, the Wisteria Room is decorated with beautiful hand-painted images of the cascading purple flowers of this climbing plant – a key feature of the estate’s Pleasure Gardens. HOUCHINS 01376 561 448 | www.houchins.co.uk The listed farmhouse at Houchins dates back to 1623 and has been beautifully and sympathetically restored to offer maximum comfort for couples and their wedding party to enjoy. The formally landscaped wedding garden has been cleverly planted to show interest all year including white roses, verbena, tulips and much more. Beyond the garden is the woodland area for woodland weddings fronted by the recently renovated pond and fountain providing an elegant arrival. The Main Barn known as the Grain Store incorporates a large, open fireplace and mezzanine gallery to make full use of the 35-foot-high ceilings with glass doors overlooking the garden & terrace. The Grain Store is centrally located between the bar and dance barn helping your evening flow. Time to celebrate The marquee is available from April to October and is set in the wedding garden and seats up to 150 guests. Adjoining the Grain Store, the Foundry is a perfect space for out-ofseason weddings with a central fireplace and overlooking the formal wedding garden. This has recently undergone a facelift with new panelling, uplighters and mirrors combined with a rich, dark paint colour to transform the room into a more sophisticated and intimate space. Set beyond the formal wedding garden is the woodland area which has a meandering pathway mown through it to a ceremony area with seating for up to 150 guests. Finally, set within the house is the oak-panelled drawing room for smaller, intimate weddings for up to 25 guests. Receptions take place on the west facing terrace overlooking the wedding garden with capacity for up to 150 guests. Out-of-season receptions take place inside the Chitting Shed around the bar area for up to 150 guests. We love... The Terrace Bar is a rustic outside bar set at one end of the terrace from where reception drinks will be served and perhaps a ‘cocktail hour’ offered following the wedding breakfast. This too, makes the most of the glorious garden! Big Day Photography Jarrold Publishing Farlie Photography Farlie Photography 22
