Dreaming of a beautiful wedding that feels luxurious — but worried about your budget? At Old Rectory House, an award-winning Grade II listed wedding venue in Redditch, Worcestershire, it really is possible to have the best of both worlds: elegance, exclusivity, and character — all at a price that feels manageable.
Here’s how you can keep costs down while still creating an unforgettable day:
Booking your wedding outside the peak summer weekends — or on a weekday — can lead to significant savings. At Old Rectory House, couples are increasingly choosing relaxed midweek celebrations or beautiful winter weddings, which cost less and often feel even more intimate.
Old Rectory House offers the flexibility of dry hire weddings, meaning you can bring in your own trusted suppliers or even cater yourself, creating a bespoke day that reflects your style and keeps costs under control.
Alternatively, our list of local catering partners in Redditch and Worcestershire offers everything from relaxed sharing feasts to elegant plated dining — so you can pick an option that fits your budget.
With stunning spaces like The Orangery, the landscaped Festival Field with Nordic tipi, and the historic features of the 1812 rectory itself, you’ll need minimal décor to make an impact. Couples often choose simple floral arrangements or greenery to complement our beautiful period details and gardens.
The current trend towards smaller, more personal weddings isn’t just romantic — it’s cost-effective too. At Old Rectory House, you can host an elegant sit-down meal for up to 80 guests or an informal gathering for up to 150, giving you flexibility to match your budget.
With nine stylish boutique bedrooms recently refurbished with William Morris-inspired touches, you and your guests can stay on-site — saving on travel costs and extending the celebration into the next morning.
Having your ceremony, drinks reception, and evening party all in one venue reduces transport costs and creates a seamless, stress-free experience for you and your guests.
