weddings
Nestled in the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, Coombe End Manor is your private English country escape - a world of vintage glamour, pastoral beauty, and effortless elegance. Just five miles from Cirencester, yet utterly secluded, the 2000-acre estate offers tranquillity, breathtaking views, and the promise of a celebration to remember.
At Coombe End, no two weddings should be the same.
Your day at a glance
F
. rom bespoke catering options and private chefs to custom experiences that reflect your unique style, we’re here to make your stay an unforgettable one.
Coombe End is best enjoyed as part of a longer wedding celebration that lasts a weekend or over a few days, to truly enjoy all the charms of the Manor House, the grounds and amenities, as well as the delights of the local area.
As part of your stay, breakfast and dinner are prepared each day by our on-site private chef — for all days apart from the wedding reception itself, which is catered by trusted external suppliers who specialise in larger numbers.

CEREMONY
Whether you’re dreaming of exchanging vows beneath the summer sun or amidst the falling Autumn leaves, Coombe End Manor’s grounds are a stunning canvas for your most treasured moments.
Should the weather not be in your favour, we have various options within the grounds to set up a marquee. Please do see our recommended supplier list for marquee options.
Coombe End is not a licensed venue; however, we welcome celebrant-led weddings.
For legal ceremonies, nearby churches include:
St John the Evangelist Church, Elkstone

Following your ceremony, we encourage you to utilise the beautiful grounds and enjoy alfresco drinks. Whether that be overlooking the hills on the terrace or around the ornate pond basking in the sunshine.
