Why Choose Exclusive 3-Day Wedding Hire at The Woodyard?
Your wedding day deserves more than a few hours.
At The Woodyard at Worstead Estate, our exclusive 3-day hire gives you the time and space to turn your wedding into a whole weekend of celebrations from the moment you arrive, to the final goodbye.
Set within the Norfolk countryside, The Woodyard becomes yours for the duration of your stay, giving you the freedom to settle in, celebrate at your own pace and spend more time with the people who matter most.
Friday: Arrive, settle in and make it yours
There’s something special about arriving at your wedding venue the day before.
Rather than rushing into the excitement of the big day, you can take your time. Settle into your onsite accommodation, catch up with family and friends, and start enjoying your wedding weekend together.
With the venue exclusively yours, there’s time to put those finishing touches in place, walk through the spaces and simply take a breath before the celebrations begin.
It’s the calm before the excitement.
Saturday: Your wedding day
Then comes the day you’ve been waiting for.
With The Woodyard exclusively yours, your wedding can flow naturally from one moment to the next. Whether you choose to exchange vows beside the lake, in the Walled Garden, within the thatched barn or at the nearby church before returning to the estate, there are plenty of ways to make the day your own.
After the ceremony, enjoy drinks with your guests before moving through to dinner and an evening of celebration.
As the light fades across the estate, the atmosphere changes. The barn becomes warm and atmospheric, the candles begin to glow and the celebrations continue long into the evening.
Sunday: Slow mornings and one last celebration
The best part of a wedding weekend is that it doesn’t have to end when the dancing does.
Sunday gives you the chance to slow down, enjoy breakfast with your guests and spend a little more time together before everyone heads home.
Perhaps it’s a relaxed brunch in the greenhouse, a countryside walk or simply sitting together and talking about the day before.
It’s an opportunity to enjoy those quieter moments that can be easily missed when everything is packed into a single day.
More time. Less rushing.
A 3-day wedding gives you something that a traditional one-day hire simply can’t — time.
Time to arrive without rushing.
Time to spend with your closest people.
Time to enjoy the setting.
Time to take photographs without watching the clock.
Time to celebrate properly.
And because The Woodyard is exclusively yours, the weekend feels personal from beginning to end.
A wedding weekend to remember
Your wedding should feel like you.
Whether you’re planning an elegant autumn celebration, a romantic winter wedding or a relaxed summer gathering, exclusive 3-day hire gives you the freedom to create a weekend around the people, moments and details that matter most.
From the first arrival to the final brunch, The Woodyard offers a beautiful setting for a wedding that becomes more than just one day — it becomes a weekend you and your guests can experience together.
