Nestled in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside, Talton Lodge is a unique and enchanting wedding venue that offers the best of both worlds: elegant country house charm and a relaxed festival atmosphere. With its Grade II listed Queen Anne country house, charming lawns, and striking two Giant Hat Tipis, Talton Lodge has become one of the most sought-after wedding venues for couples looking to combine beauty, versatility, and a touch of magic on their special day.
A Venue Like No Other
Talton Lodge truly stands out as a wedding venue, offering a breathtaking mix of tradition and whimsy. The venue features two distinct spaces that provide the perfect setting for every part of your celebration. The Queen Anne country house offers a more intimate and serene setting, perfect for blessings, pre-wedding drinks, and mingling on the manicured lawns. Imagine exchanging vows in the picturesque surroundings of the house and lawn, with the beautiful Victorian gardens providing a stunning backdrop for your wedding photos.
Just a short walk away from the house, the two Giant Hat Tipis and Pavilion bar bring an entirely different energy to the event. These spacious and flexible structures can seat up to 115 guests, with plenty of space for dancing, entertainment, and celebration. The tipis exude a festival-like atmosphere that adds an element of fun and excitement to the day, with personal touches and creative decoration transforming the space into a true reflection of the couple's style.
Versatility for Every Style
Talton Lodge offers something for everyone. If you're dreaming of a traditional, elegant wedding, the country house and gardens provide the perfect setting. If you're seeking a more relaxed, bohemian feel, the festival-style tipi area with its rustic charm is ideal. You can mix and match the two to create a wedding day that is truly your own.
The venue is also pet-friendly, allowing your furry friends to join in on your special day. Whether you choose a classic indoor ceremony or a fun and vibrant outdoor one in the garden, Talton Lodge ensures that your wedding is as unique as you are.
A Focus on Food and Drink
Talton Lodge takes great pride in its seasonal, freshly prepared food, which is a true highlight of the experience. From the canapés served on the lawn to the sit-down wedding breakfast in the tipis, every dish is crafted with care and attention to detail. The venue caters to all tastes, including meat lovers, vegetarians, and vegans, and even offers a BYO (bring your own) option for both food and drink.
Guests can enjoy a fantastic array of cocktails from the Pavilion bar, with the option to hire a mixologist for bespoke cocktails, or you can opt for a more relaxed and personal bar experience. For a unique twist, Talton Lodge can also serve late-night snacks such as seafood paella or pizza, ensuring your guests are well-fed throughout the night.
