Festival Weddings

For awesome tipis, delectable street food and dancing under the stars, why not throw a festival wedding?

A festival wedding is a great choice for anyone who’s looking for a relaxed country feel. And at The Reid Rooms we can offer you an array of fantastic options to make your bohemian fantasy a hay-bale-reality.

With a festival wedding at The Reid Rooms, you’ll get 3 days of field hire as standard – so you can set up, throw the event of the century and clear up at your leisure.

Choose from one of two stunning spots in which to say your vows and embrace as much freedom as you need in planning the event.

You are welcome to bolt-on one of our wedding packages to help out with the details, or go-it-alone with a venue hire only arrangement. And whatever you decide, there’ll be no corkage charges to worry about. Of course.

Get in touch to find out more about the options and support we can offer.


With your patience and understanding, as well as your passion and insight, you ironed out my ‘wobbles’ and showed us that it was possible to have a relaxed and chilled gathering with our family and friends.

Choose your spot:

The Meadow Pavilion

If you’d prefer to say your vows somewhere with a little more formality, but you don’t want to miss out on the rural festival fun, then you’re welcome to make use of our beautiful, purpose built and fully licensed Meadow Pavilion.

Your guests will enjoy seeing you say your vows framed by our stunning pavilion and surrounded by countryside views, and then you can throw a fantastic boho tipi celebration after the formal bit… and release your inner hippy to your heart’s content.

  • Licensed for civil ceremonies
  • Larger guest capacity of 150

  • £2,500 for 3 day hire
  • Include a legal ceremony for £950


The Willow Trees

We are so lucky to have the most incredible rural setting alongside the River Roding, to share with our couples, and the dedicated festival wedding spot really is a beaut. With its gorgeous lazy willow trees, far reaching countryside views and large open spaces, the sky really is the limit for what you can achieve here. And still no corkage charge (of course).

So, if you’ve got a totally bohemian festival wedding in mind, you can have as much or as little freedom as you’d like to design and host your celebration in your way at our Willow Trees location.

You’ll need to get the official papers signed with a registrar at another time, but rest assured that none of the beautiful opportunity to stand together, in front of your nearest and dearest, in a formal ceremony will be lost at Willow Trees. Whether you choose to go Humanist or even write your own vows, our purpose built Willow Tree Pavilion is the perfect backdrop.
