Why Choose A Winter Wedding
Choosing a winter wedding can be a unique and romantic decision for couples. The cold weather offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere, perfect for an intimate celebration. Imagine exchanging vows amidst a backdrop of frosty or snowy landscapes and crisp, clear skies. The tranquillity of the winter months can make your special day feel even more magical.
A winter wedding also provides an opportunity for creative and cosy decorations. Think white fairy lights and mistletoe bringing a hint of festive romance. These elements can transform your wedding venue into a winter wonderland, creating a warm and inviting ambience for you and your guests.
Winter weddings can also be a cost-effective option compared to the peak wedding season. This means you can have the wedding party of your dreams without breaking the bank. Plus, the availability of venues and vendors is often better during the colder months, giving you more flexibility in planning your big day.

From our previous brides & grooms
Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and it wouldn't have gone as smoothly as it did without your help. Everything was organised exactly how we discussed and we feel SO lucky that literally nothing went wrong on the day! It was total perfection. The food on the day was also great! The chef really pulled it out the bag.
Mr & Mrs Miller, Winter 2022
Thank you so much for everything and for all the help and guidance you gave us along the way! Everyone at Oakley Hall was incredible! Our day was seamless and we couldn't have asked for anything more. All of our guests, along with us, were blown away with the venue and the service! We honestly can't thank you and everyone who helped with our day enough.
Mr & Mrs Maidens, Winter 2022
The setting in the Library, ease of access to the bar & attention to detail was just second to none. Everyone without exception said how fantastic the meal was & those that had the fish cake wanted more it was so delicious! They all said it was the best wedding breakfast they have ever had. Compliments to the Chef & his team.
