Celebrate the Night Before

Why not begin the celebrations a little earlier?

It's a lovely way to settle in, spend time with those closest to you and build the excitement before the big day.

Your Choice of Beautiful Spaces

From cocktails on arrival to a red or white carpet welcome, every detail of your day at Coombe Abbey is thoughtfully taken care of. Choose the setting that feels right for you, from a generous range of elegant rooms and outdoor spaces for your ceremony, before enjoying reception drinks, canapés and lawn games with your guests.

When it's time to dine, indulge in a delicious four- or six-course wedding breakfast, depending on your chosen package, with menus created to make your occasion feel truly special.

As evening falls, gather with friends and family for a delicious evening buffet before taking to the dance floor and celebrating long into the night.
