Charlotte joined us in early 2025 and is a fantastic asset to the Garden Bar family. By the end of 2026 she will have completed 70 weddings, helping to guide couples through the planning process and co-ordinating the day to ensure you don’t have to worry about a thing from the second you arrive.
“There’s something magical about watching a wedding day unfold seamlessly, every moment flowing into the next, every detail working together to create an atmosphere the couple can simply enjoy. No two celebrations ever follow the same script, and that’s what makes them so special. The goal is always the same – to make sure everything is taken care of, the process stays fun, and the big and small moments become memories that last.”
There are no venue hire fees, as we operate on a minimum spend basis. All pre-ordered food and drink, as well as your guests bar spend on the day will all count towards your minimum spend requirement.
Weekdays carry a lower minimum spend, so if you are open to the idea of a weekday wedding, be sure to let us know and we can send you a quote for both options to see what works best for you.
A security deposit is required to confirm your booking, which will be returned to you within 2 weeks after your special day.
Six months prior to the event, a payment to cover 50% of the minimum spend will be required.
One month before the event you will need to finalise and pay for your final order of food and drinks (for instance a food package and welcome drinks). The 50% payment previously made will be put towards the food and drink cost.
As the winter months roll in, our gorgeous pub oozes cosiness with roaring open fires, heated garden booths and ambient lighting that are perfect for those grey and rainy days.
Up to 50 guests can be seated inside, with the option to have our faux sheepskin chair covers to add that special touch and keep your guests warm and comfortable.
Winter weddings carry a lower minimum spend requirement (excluding peak December dates) so if you’re looking to keep your budget low with an intimate celebration, this could be the perfect choice for you to enjoy your special day with your favourite people during October-April.
