Intimate Weddings at Pauntley Court

More and more couples are opting for smaller weddings with just a handful of their loved ones in place of a larger, extravagant celebration with hundreds of guests. With the current coronavirus situation affecting the wedding industry, here at Pauntley Court we remain as flexible as ever for our clients to ensure they can still have their dream wedding day. As an intimate wedding venue in the Cotswolds, we can host an elopement for just two of you or a micro-wedding with 10 – 40 of your friends and family.

There are many reasons why a smaller wedding may be right up your street. As your guest list is a lot shorter, you’ll be able to save money, with less expenses going on accommodation, transport, food and drink. But a smaller wedding doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style, and with the savings you make you can spend them on the things you really want to, whether that’s your flowers or food.
 

A micro-wedding can have just as much impact as a huge soirée and it can often be more meaningful. Many couples love the thought of a mini guest list as it means they can actually spend more quality time with their friends and family, savouring the experience of their special day without it rushing by in a blur.

Intimate weddings at Pauntley Court are informal, relaxed and truly personal. We have plenty of options for your wedding ceremony here at our country wedding venue in Gloucestershire, from the enchanting quince orchard to the light-filled Ballroom, which has space for a civil ceremony of up to 40. We’d love to take you on a tour so you can find a setting that is meaningful to you both, while you soak up the romance as you wander through our grounds, gardens, woodland and lake.

We also welcome our couples to make the most of their weekend wedding at Pauntley Court, with space for up to 24 people to enjoy our delightful accommodation. Our 10 gorgeous bedrooms will be yours over three days and two nights, offering everyone the chance to relax, unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Let Pauntley Court become your home for as long as you wish! Our various intimate wedding packages include exclusive use of our country house wedding venue, as well as access to our preferred suppliers list.

As a beloved family home in the Cotswolds, we think there is something quite special about getting married on a smaller scale, with just your closest loved ones surrounding you. A lot of couples are attracted to the thought of an intimate celebration as it reduces the level of stress that wedding planning can cause, along with the pressure of trying to please everyone. On the other hand, you may just dread the thought of being in the spotlight!

A charming country house wedding venue with plenty of quirks and character, Pauntley Court is renowned for its romantic elopements and intimate weddings. Our atmospheric spaces, stunning gardens and unrivalled views offer you the perfect blank canvas to create a bespoke celebration over a weekend, the way you want it to be!

Pauntley court was an amazing venue for our intimate wedding in April 2024. We had a total of 16 people, we viewed a few venues that could have catered for us but Pauntley stood out as the best and we are very pleased we chose this one. The entire day went smoothly and this is thanks to Melissa and Jilly who were extremely helpful and very friendly throughout the planning process and on the day. We were lucky with the weather which meant we could utilise a lot of the fabulous grounds as well as the beautiful house over the weekend. Elinor Fettiplace is a separate wing of the house which we used as the bridal suite and also where all the girls got ready. This has all the facilities you could want with a full kitchen, living room and enormous bathroom and bedroom.

 
We were married in the panelled room in front of the fireplace which was incredibly romantic and worked perfectly and I would highly recommend for an intimate wedding.
 

We used a number of the suppliers from the list provided by Melissa and Jilly from caterers and florists to babysitting services and we were extremely pleased with them all. The venue also has a housekeeper, Rachel, who is very friendly. Rachel helped us tidy up and prepared an amazing cooked breakfast for us all on the Sunday morning which really went down a treat.
