2025 Twilight Weddings

Enjoy The Magic & Romance Of The Twilight Wedding At Houchins

Some couples are opting for a Twilight Wedding which begins later in the day and captures the magic & romance of the end of the day. It is less formal, and more party celebration rather than a formal wedding.

Twilight weddings start a little later – giving you a more relaxed start and more time to get ready with your wedding party and saving you ££.

Arrive at Houchins at noon and if you book the house you can both get ready in style in our two dressing rooms discretely separated so there’s no peeking before your arrival down the aisle!

Enjoy your ceremony in our beautiful wedding marquee somewhere between 4-6pm followed by a drinks reception in the glorious wedding garden.

As you’ve started later in the day there’s no need for a formal sit-down meal (although you can of course have one if you would like to) so you can offer simple evening food either from one of our caterers or from food trucks for more of a festival vibe.

Twilight weddings can take place from Monday to Wednesday mid-season with the venue price starting at £2,730. Meaning that you can have your Houchins Wedding for just over £5,000 (for 80 people). We can host Twilight weddings for any number from 40 – 150 to suit an intimate gathering or a grand celebration.

Get in touch at [email protected] or call 01376 561448 for more information…

Terms & Conditions

*Not valid with any other offer. The Twilight Wedding is only available Monday – Wednesday mid-season. There is the option to have one of three Houchins drinks packages or you can have the bar open for your guests. We ask that you supply 1 drink per guest immediately after the ceremony.

Available in 2025 only.
