A Hyde House Wedding 

A beautiful Cotswolds Wedding Venue

“The photos are gorgeous Becky, thank you so much!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer with Becky.

From our first meeting, she was so lovely and friendly, instantly putting us both at ease.

On the day, she was absolutely fantastic.

Not only did she capture the most incredible photos, but she also played a vital role in our wedding’s organisation, helping us think through various aspects we hadn’t considered.

Would 100% recommend to other couples!“

Hyde House Wedding Venue in the Cotswolds

If you’re after a Cotswolds wedding that feels like a proper countryside retreat that’s beautiful but relaxed, Hyde House in Gloucestershire, England is always one I’m excited about! Just near Stow-on-the-Wold, off the Fosse Way, it has that “you’ve escaped somewhere special” feeling, but is still being really accessible for guests.

Hyde House is a barn and estate venue designed purely for private events, so when you’re there, it’s yours. No members of the public wandering through. No shared spaces. Just you, your favourite people, and the rolling Cotswolds countryside all around you.

The Ceremony Spaces at Hyde House

One of the things I love about Hyde House is the choice of spaces and the way everything flows for an easy, stress-free day.

The Grange is where most indoor ceremonies take place. It’s light, airy and full of character, with gorgeous oak beams and big windows that flood you and your guests with natural light. It can seat up to 150 guests comfortably, which makes it perfect whether you’re planning something intimate or going all out.

If you’re leaning towards outdoor ceremonies, there’s a beautiful oak arbour overlooking the Cotswolds countryside. On a warm day, it’s genuinely hard to beat. 

After the ceremony, guests spill into the courtyard for post-ceremony drinks and can wander around the pretty gardens, if they need a little space amongst the chaos of the day.

Hyde Barn – A True Blank Canvas

Your wedding breakfast and evening reception usually take place in Hyde Barn. Vaulted oak-beam ceilings, loads of space, and a clean, blank canvas feel that works whether you’re going full floral, keeping it minimal, or something in between.

There’s also a lounge bar and terrace area, which is great for guests who might not want to be on the dancefloor, and is where your drinks reception can be held if it rains. 

Getting ready at Hyde House

The bridal loft is a calm space to start your morning. There are proper makeup stations (which your hair and makeup team will love), comfy seating and enough room for all your people, without everyone being on top of each other.

In the main house, there are also cosy lounges and even a little library space, so different parts of your group can chill out in their own way.

Accommodation: A Full Weekend to Celebrate

Hyde House has 20 bedrooms across the main house and the Coach House, so you can make your celebration a full weekend rather than just one day.

Some of the rooms have four-poster beds and freestanding tubs — the kind of spaces you actually want to wake up in the morning after your wedding.

Guests staying on-site makes everything feel slower and more intentional, especially if you’re planning a relaxed Cotswolds wedding weekend with your closest friends and family.

Food, Drink and In-House Catering

As a full-service venue, Hyde House has in-house catering, which honestly makes planning smooth and easy.

The team focus on locally sourced ingredients, and you can work with them to create customised menus that suit your day.

Hyde House Team and Planning Support

Hyde House has a dedicated wedding coordinator and genuinely attentive staff. It’s a popular venue and they run a lot of weddings, which means they know what they’re doing — you’re in excellent hands.

For you, that usually translates into a day that runs smoothly, without you even noticing the logistics happening in the background. 

Why Couples Choose Hyde House in Gloucestershire

Hyde House is an incredible choice of venue. You get scenic gardens, rolling views, and that peaceful Cotswolds atmosphere — but you also get a venue that’s purpose-built for weddings.

It suits couples who want something beautiful and well-run, but still personal, that doesn’t feel corporate.

Weekend rates start at around 12.5K, depending on the date and package, and because it’s such a popular venue in the Cotswolds, it does book out quickly — especially for peak summer dates.

A Cotswolds Celebration

We were fortunate to be able to use Hyde House’s oak-beamed porchway to frame the bride and groom and their guests for group shots. There were so many pops of beautiful, rich colours as many of the women wore gorgeous traditional sarees.

Before dinner was served, we headed out for some portraits away from guests. Roshni and Gautham were excited to see their lovely 9-month-old Labrador Nala who was being well looked after by their dog-walker. The couple lit up when they saw Nala, who wore flowers around her collar, especially for the occasion (half of which, had been eaten!).

Being a chilly blustery day, we headed into the shelter of the Grange for some portraits. Soft light came in through the window with a lovely fall off behind my subjects. We were able to use the window light to play about with different angles and get some beautiful moments between the new Mr and Mrs.  We used backlight to create some silhouettes of Gautham spinning his wife in the big bay window and side light for a flattering affect across the couple.

Guests were seated for the meal on our return to The Barn and the Master of Ceremonies announced the bride and groom while guests stood to clap and cheer their entry.

After dinner, toasting drinks were served and the two best men, the groom and the bride’s brother delivered their speeches. Roshni was particularly emotional during her brother’s speech.

Before the evening party started, the bride and groom snuck upstairs for a quick outfit change. Roshni wore a fabulous ivory two-piece trouser suit and Gautham looked dapper in a tuxedo. Outside the sunset over the Cotswolds hills and as the wind had finally subsided, a handful of guests braved the outside for a wonder around the gardens.

The Master of Ceremonies once again announced the arrival of Roshni and Gautham before cake cutting and the first dance ensued. Guests hit the dancefloor to party whilst the DJ played out.

Before it was time for me to leave, we wrangled a few guests outside for a sparkler exit beside Hyde House’s arbour and a night portrait of Roshni and Gautham using an off-camera flash. The arbour ceiling was white, enabling me to fire a flash upwards behind the couple to bounce light off the ceiling, lighting the subjects from above.
