Built nearly 200 years ago as stables
for the working horses on Marks Hall Farm, The
Reid Rooms provide a unique rural setting combining the
best of modern facilities with timeless charm. The
attractive weather boarded buildings are set in beautiful
countryside and back on to the moat of the Grade II
Listed 15th century farmhouse and its superb gardens.
Inside, there is a wealth of exposed
timber beams and fittings reflecting the long history
of The Reid Rooms as working farm buildings. Now, tastefully
renovated and converted to the highest standard, they
have been furnished with fine antique pine and rural
paintings.
The Reid Rooms offer
wedding guests a linked series of rooms surrounding
a landscaped courtyard. This gives great flexibility,
giving guests the option to gather for quiet conversation
in the drawing room, while others enjoy an evening
disco in the bar.
The Reid Rooms
wedding venue includes:-
The Ceremony
Room. With an exposed timber framework,
this cleverly converted room can accommodate up to
100 guests and provides an intimate and very special
setting for all civil ceremonies. From the Ceremony
Room,
a paved walkway leads between raised planting beds
to The Courtyard.
The Courtyard. This
attractive, landscaped area is sheltered on three sides,
and provides views over the moat and 15th century Marks
Hall Farmhouse. Tables, chairs, parasols and a “minstrel’s
gallery” above provide a delightful setting for
drinks in fine weather.
The Reception Room.
A spacious, tasteful reception area complete with a
bar hand-built by local craftsmen. There is also a
dance floor for evening entertainment. For larger ceremonies,
the bar may also be used as an alternative ceremony
room for up to 120 guests.
The Dining Room.
The fine oak and elm beams, trussed with American pine,
combine with subtle lighting to evoke warmth and tranquillity,
giving depth and character to this great room. The
Dining Room can seat up to 120 guests
(150 guests when incorporating the Drawing
Room).
After the Wedding Breakfast, the Drawing Room, complete with log burning fire, and the adjoining Garden
Room offer a comfortable retreat for drinks and coffee in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere.
