In this episode of Yes to I Do, host Lydia Wakefield and coordinator Maggie walk through Coton House Farm’s Luxury Package. From a relaxed 9am start in the preparation suites to ceremony choices (outdoor pergola or a cosy 17th-century dairy barn), included décor (fairy lights, LOVE letters, greenery), a built-in drinks package for up to 50 guests, on-site accommodation with breakfast, and a sample timeline that keeps the day flowing seamlessly.
Key Takeaways
Choose the outdoor pergola (weather-dependent, jasmine arches, countryside backdrop) or the indoor dairy barn (exposed brick, beams, stained glass, log burner). Church ceremonies are also supported.
Live musicians (guitar, strings, harp, singers) are welcome, or use the venue’s Bluetooth speaker with your own playlist.
During the drinks reception, guests get two drinks (choose from Prosecco, beer, Sangria or Pimm’s), then ½ bottle of wine or two bottled beers per person for the meal, plus a Prosecco toast. Swap for non-alcoholic/children’s packages or add more if your numbers exceed 50.
Pick Jenkinson’s (three-course options, fun host roast, tastings at the venue) or Doves Delights (relaxed grazing tables, pies, surf & turf; taster boxes). Food is contracted directly with the caterers; optional add-ons include ice-cream carts and venue treats (crisp boxes, donut towers, tubs).
Four ensuite rooms, Alfie, Scallywag, Dinky, Chester with pull-out sofas for children (sleep up to 16), tea/coffee access, and a cooked breakfast in Misty the next morning. Typical check-in 2pm, checkout 10am.
Your wedding coordinator is assigned 6–8 months out, with a six-month and final meeting, and open access to advice anytime.
Key Moments
“Access from 9 o’clock to the preparation suites, ceremony areas and main barn sets a calm start to the day.”
“Jenkinson’s offer a classic three-course with a fun host roast; Doves Delights shine with relaxed, abundant grazing.”
“Aim for 8–10 per table so it looks full and feels comfortable, don’t overfill the top table either.”
“Cake cut around half seven keeps service in step with evening food.”
