Audley's Wood: A Guide
Audley's Wood is a historic, luxurious venue set in the heart of Hampshire and close to Basingstoke.
Their gardens provide an ideal setting for your outdoor wedding ceremony, reception drinks and even your evening party in the Garden Pavilion. Surrounded by stunning woodlands and fields. It is an ideal location for weddings with a large number of guests.
​
The prep
Spend the morning of your wedding in one of their suites. Each offers a large separate living area so there’s more than enough room for the whole team. What’s more, the original windows offer plenty of natural light and the large bathroom is ideal for those last minute make up checks. Pretty and practical.
The ceremony
Prepare to be amazed as you step inside this stunning ceremony venue. The Conservatory has a magnificent vaulted ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows which run the entirety of the room. The abundance of natural daylight effortlessly complements the neutral décor for a heavenly feel. It has a capacity of 120, and the views out over the gardens are just a bonus!
The confetti Tunnel
Confetti is one of the most photogenic elements you can add to a wedding. The slow-motion shots of colorful bits swirling around you, catching the light, sticking in your hair, or framing your first kiss as a married couple — these are the images that make albums and highlight reels unforgettable. Doing your confetti tunnel along the path outside the conservatory is perfect for this stunning moment.
The group photos
​
Of course, a key moment on the wedding day is to get all those family portraits done. There are a few locations they can be done at Audley's Wood. Inside & outside, depending on the weather. We have the conservatory if it rains. Then we have the front and rear gardens if it's pleasant outside.
Couple photos
​
When it comes to capturing those beautiful intimate photos of our newlyweds. Audley's Wood is fantastic for choices to go. From the wrought iron gates toward the front of the venue, to the secret spot next to the farmers field out the back.
The Pavillion, Speeches & Party
​
This large airy space is tucked away on their grounds providing access to outdoor space and just the right amount of seclusion for your special day. Guests can also explore the gardens, or simply mingle in the sunshine. And when evening falls? Tuck the party away in your own private bar and dance floor, all set under twinkling fairy lights.
