Festival Vibes, Forever Memories: How to Add That Magic Touch to Your Wedding at Shermanbury Place

There's something truly special about a wedding that feels less like a formal affair and more like the best party you've ever been to. If you've ever dreamed of dancing barefoot in a field with fairy lights twinkling overhead and the people you love most around you — a festival-style wedding might just be your perfect day.

Here at Shermanbury Place, our beautiful rural setting is the ideal backdrop for couples who want something a little different. And the good news? It's often the smallest details that make the biggest impact.

Personalised Wristbands Swap traditional place cards for festival wristbands. Guests can wear them all day (and beyond!) as a little keepsake from your celebration.

A Welcoming "Festival Gate" Create a fun entrance with a hand-painted wooden sign, some wild flowers, and festival flag poles. Set the tone from the moment your guests arrive.

Chill-Out Zones Scatter mismatched sofas, rugs, and floor cushions around the grounds. Give people a place to kick back, chat, and soak up the atmosphere between dancing.

Street Food & Grazing Stations Ditch the formal sit-down and opt for relaxed food trucks or long grazing tables piled high with local produce, artisan breads, and sharing platters.

An Acoustic Stage or Open Mic There's nothing more festival than live music. Even a small acoustic set during the drinks reception adds an incredible atmosphere.

Sunset Ceremony Make the most of Shermanbury's stunning outdoor space with a late afternoon ceremony — golden hour photographs included.

Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a full weekend celebration, the countryside setting here gives you the freedom to truly make it your own.
