Naomi and James had a beautifully rustic Spring wedding at Cain Manor. A firm favourite with the team who loved the rustic details and simple, but breathtaking style of photography at this wedding.

Searching for a dream wedding venue? Look no further! Take advantage of what this stunning historic venue has to offer, from beautiful views to a magnificent sweeping staircase.
We talked to Natalie, the Events Marketing Manager at Ashridge House, to find out more about this magical venue.
Tell us about yourself!
I am a mum to two boys (my main job!), I have worked in the wedding business for five years and in my free time I like to be creative and bake brownies. I have started writing a children’s book, and am going to try and illustrate it when the story is finished. If it’s terrible I will put it in a drawer and never show anyone!
What drew you to the wedding world?
It happened by accident! I was working in the events industry with corporate clients and when I joined the Ashridge House team, weddings are a key part of the Ashridge DNA. The whole team loves the wedding industry and it is easy to see why, it’s wonderful to work with our lovely couples and create a bespoke day filled with forever memories. It truly is an honour to be part of such a special moment at the beginning of our couples married life.
What do you think makes Ashridge House unique?
Ashridge House is very special, the site dates back to 1283 and Ashridge was a former royal residence to King Henry VIII and home to his daughter Princess Elizabeth. However what makes Ashridge House truly special is the dedicated team here and our ethos to welcome our couples and make them feel comfortable so they feel Ashridge House is their home away from home. The beautiful gardens and grounds at Ashridge House are the jewel of the estate and gives our couples a sense of serenity (we have 190 acres of private gardens for our couples to explore!), and no matter what the season, the grounds always look spectacular thanks to our dedicated gardens team. We have a fantastic food and beverage team who work closely with our couples to ensure they have the perfect wedding breakfast with their family and loved ones to enjoy, the team here also love a challenge and will find a solution for any requests. Every wedding is different and the team here love to be as creative as possible to deliver the most beautiful and bespoke day for our couples.
How do you get to know your couples before the big day?
After the initial show arounds, we invite our couples to visit Ashridge House to meet their wedding coordinator and start planning their day. Couples will also meet their suppliers onsite and have their menu tasting here so ideally they will have visited Ashridge House many times before their big day, and will feel at home and relaxed before their wedding day.
What do you think makes for the perfect wedding?
When everyone is smiling and your couple are lost in the moment together.
What is your #1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Try and make the planning fun and part of your wedding journey, get your girlfriends involved and make your planning days a celebration, and enjoy some fizz afterwards!
What do you love about Bridebook?
I love their personal service, J’uanita has helped Ashridge House navigate through these challenging times and is a font of all knowledge!
What’s the most memorable wedding you’ve had at Ashridge House?
Every wedding is memorable and each couple becomes part of our history and DNA. We had a beautiful Russian ballerina bride and she arranged for ballet dancers to perform on the staircase in the Grand Hall during the ceremony, that was magical and breath-taking!
Why should a couple book Ashridge House?
The weddings and events team at Ashridge House go above and beyond to help our couples achieve the wedding of their dreams. We work together with our couples and build trust so that on the day, they can relax and enjoy one of the most important days of their life.
What’s the best photo spot at Ashridge House?
That’s a difficult question as all the grounds are lovely, I love Laburnum Walk, Rhododendron Walk and The Rosary!
What part of your business are you most proud of?
I am really proud of the events team and how they have adapted over the last 12 months, for example we now have personalised virtual showarounds and are hosting a virtual wedding showcase on Sunday 21st March 2021. The team have adapted and pivoted in response to the ever changing times.
How do you feel technology is changing the industry?
Technology has been vital to the weddings industry especially over the pandemic, we have been able to stay in touch with all our couples over Zoom and reassure them we are still here and will help them move their date if needed.

Thinking about the wedding of your dreams? This magical venue has far reaching views, formal gardens, and exclusive use.
We talked to Paul, the Owner at Saltcote Place, to find out more about this unique venue.
Tell us about yourself!
We have over 10 years experience of planning both exceptional and intimate Celebrations. Weddings are an indulgent hobby we really enjoy. We choose to host enough Celebrations to keep the building well maintained and not so many that it loses the magic. We never do back to back and rarely do a wedding a week preferring to enjoy the engagement with our couples. It takes on average 18 months from initial enquiry to the big day, this gives us all time to enjoy pizzas and a few glasses of wine as we get to know each other as well as the inlaws and outlaws. The end result we often hear is “it’s like getting married at our mates place” that’s the objective, as a result we have made some wonderful friendships. In our private lives have other interests in property, commerce and software.
What drew you to the wedding world?
It’s amazing that anyone can have this much fun at your own home.
What do you think makes Saltcote Place unique?
It’s personal, we don’t pay sales people to be nice to our Guests, we take that pleasure ourselves.
How do you get to know your couples before the big day?
Pizza, Pasta, meals out and the occasional glass of wine. It’s not a conference or a works party – a Wedding is a Celebration of two families seeing the ones they love step out on a magical journey. We make sure in-laws and out-laws also come and see the venue so they feel as comfortable as the couple. This approach ensures everyone feels comfortable, these feelings end up with all of the guests knowing they are not attending a faceless hotel, the owners are engaged and it’s personal with nothing too much trouble. This personal approach is reflected in our TripAdvisor reviews where we have been Number 1 in the UK, No3 in the World and Number 1 locally for 11 years.
What do you think makes for the perfect wedding?
Respect, great communications, a detailed plan that’s shared and understood by all parties including suppliers with regard to setup and exit times.
What is your #1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Relax – if you write down your plan in a shared space it will be perfect.
What do you love about Bridebook?
We recommend all of our couples use the app to simplify the planning process.
What’s the most memorable wedding you’ve had at Leez Priory?
A Princess from Ghana, the cultural differences, the colours and music and two wonderful families focussed on a magical celebration. Another equally magical celebration involved Aunty Vera who corralled the bridesmaids for a few days before the big day using prosecco and music to get the party started, from the after party brunch the day after and a few days staying locally made these Weddings memorable for the best possible reasons.
Why should a couple book Saltcote Place?
Bespoke Celebrations without a package in sight. Packages belong to the post office.
What’s the best photo spot at Saltcote Place?
At the end of the garden you can see the curve of the earth and see for about 30 unobstructed miles.
What part of your business are you most proud of?
The friendships we have as a result of Weddings.
How do you feel technology is changing the industry?
Collaboration tools ensure there is only one Hymn sheet lead by the Couple guided by a partner and involving all suppliers.
What is the one piece of advice you would give to couples that are currently struggling amidst the COVID-19 crisis?
Never lose sight of what brought you together, be prepared to be flexible and to roll over if needed. We have rolled one couple over since 2018 and hope to see them get married in 2021. We have not increased their price.
A huge thank you to Paul for answering our questions. Check out Saltcote Place on Bridebook!

Looking ahead to 2021 and beyond, a wedding boom is coming! It’s been a tough year for the wedding industry and the many postponing couples, but we can see a bright spot on the horizon as vaccine rollout expands and restrictions are lifted to allow weddings to take place safely.
We surveyed nearly 5,000 couples and felt the optimism and excitement they have looking forward to their upcoming weddings. While those who married in 2020 experienced drops in guest numbers and wedding spending, engaged couples’ plans haven’t been affected to the same scale.
Budgets are strong, and expectations are high among engaged couples for celebrations and vaccines. They look forward to celebrating on any day of the week that they can – and sometimes twice!
82% couples with 15 or less guests will celebrate twice
52% of guests believed to have received a COVID-19 jab by Sept ‘21
40% Engaged couples’ costs increased due to COVID-19, by nearly £2,000
17% postponed couples will marry on a Friday
As we’ve seen from weddings that took place in 2020, couples are happy to incorporate safety measures and technology into their weddings wherever necessary, and these restrictions are not a barrier to wed.
83% Weddings had social-distancing measures in place
64% Weddings didn’t allow dancing (46% had no music at all)
55% Weddings in Q4 2020 were live-streamed
17% Wedding couples wore masks at their wedding (73% of guests)
With so much of the nation’s time spent at home this year, we also see the prominent role that technology plays in the lives of today’s millennial couples during wedding planning. This generation of couples does everything on their phones, and wedding planning is no exception. They expect information instantly at their fingertips, they rely on social proof, and are incorporating technology into both the planning process and the actual weddings themselves. Going forward, we should prepare for more of planning to move digitally.
5 Hours per day looking at their phones
42.4 Venue reviews read by venue-seeking couples
63% Wedding planning is done via their phone
43% Married couples used a digital playlist at their wedding ceremony
23% Couples sent digital wedding invitations
Over the course of the next few months, we will start to see a new beginning for weddings. While these weddings will face restrictions in the near term and our industry will need to adjust to accommodate the ever-changing situation, we can take the lead from these positive-thinking couples and know that wedding celebrations WILL return and that recovery is near.
Bridebook is here to support the engaged couples who are working through their wedding checklists and looking for venues and professionals to make the day unforgettable. We’re also here to help married couples give back with reviews on the businesses that helped make their day a success. Finally, we’re here for the many businesses who have struggled this year, and need to connect with couples and industry members for business support and growth.
Getting engaged is one of the most exciting moments of your life, tears of joy won’t stop streaming, and you can’t stop gazing at your newly bejeweled finger. But once this initial excitement begins to wear off, a sudden rush of “what now!?” begins to kick in. Don’t worry – Bridebook are here to help.
Wedding planning can be daunting even at the best of times, and the current government restrictions to curb the spread of Coronavirus may have you feeling you can’t get started with your planning. At Bridebook, we’d like to help you navigate this stressful time by discussing 8 things that you CAN do right now to ensure the smoothest wedding planning experience.
1.Designate a wedding planning day
It is time to get organised! Making decisions early is the best way to ensure the smoothest wedding planning process. Dedicating one day a week can be the perfect way to ensure that tasks get ticked off and other priorities (like Netflixin’ your favourite show!) do not get in the way.
Knowing where to begin with planning your big day can be overwhelming. Our personalised Wedding Planning Checklist is here to help guide you through the entire planning process. Based on your wedding date, your bespoke Checklist will let you know when to complete each task including pricing guides and suggestions along the way.
2.Reflection
It’s important to sit down with your partner and think about what you both want from your wedding. Will it be a small and intimate occasion or an extravagant party with hundreds of guests? Make sure you reflect and think hard about what is most important to the both of you, as a couple.
Start researching and looking for inspiration. You can then add any picture or ideas, from perfect playlists, to funny speech ideas to your Bridebook Scrapbook.
3.Budget
Once you have reflected on the kind of wedding you both want, you need to decide how much you are willing and able to spend. Let Bridebook do the hard work for you! With data from over 500,000 weddings, our super powerful Wedding Budget Tool helps you keep track right from the beginning. Simply enter your total budget and we will tell you how much you should spend on every expense from start to finish.
4.Guest List
Making decisions on your guest list can be a complicated process, from deciding who to invite, to keeping note of guest information along the way.
Bridebook’s Wedding Guest List Tool allows you to easily keep track of your invites, RSVPs and total attending guests. Your Guest List is split into two – one for you and one for your partner – but you can also create as many custom lists as you like! For example, ‘work friends’ or ‘childhood friends’. Your Guest List is ready to help you track all the nitty gritty details: you can track plus ones, dietary requirements, addresses and more.
5.Booking Your Venue
Finding the perfect wedding venue is one of the most important tasks on your checklist, and one which may seem near impossible in the midst of a global pandemic. However, thanks to the power of technology and innovative wedding venue teams, this is completely possible!
Bridebook has thousands of exceptional wedding venues with many of them offering virtual tours and show rounds. Get comfortable, open a bottle of wine and explore the delights of stunning venues across the country from your very own living room. When you enquire with venues, make sure to ask if they can offer a virtual show round – some are even using Facetime! We’d also advise you to keep an eye out for venues listing 360 tours.
6.Booking Suppliers
Again, this is something super fun which you can enjoy within the comfort of your own home. Keep reaching out to suppliers, as many are offering virtual services such as delivering tasting samples or pre-recorded videos – whilst unconventional, this can absolutely become a fun night-in with your partner.
Invite your friends and family to a Zoom call where you watch a number of wedding bands until you find your perfect match. How about ordering in some sample cake boxes for taste testing with your partner? Or even get creative and create your ideal wedding make-up, by following different tutorials available online.
7.The Little Things
Make the most of these dark cold months by getting on top of all the small tasks which will make your wedding wonderful. There are so many little things that you will need for your big day and now is the time to start a list. This might be thinking about gifts for your bridesmaids and page boys or wedding favours for guests. You could even get into some DIY and make some crafts yourself such as name cards, signs or photo boards for the day itself.
8.Enjoy your Engagement!
Weddings are incredibly special. It is important to enjoy this experience, together. Take some well deserved time off before you are rushed back to the speed of ‘normality’. Go for long walks, cook some delicious food, read a few books and most of all embrace having the love of your life by your side!

Virtual tours are so simple! And you can view them right from Bridebook. You can do as many virtual tours as it takes to visit one venue in person. This means you can take a look around a few more to find the one that’s perfect for you.
No need to agree on a shortlist of five venues that you’ll visit in one weekend. Check out 10 in one afternoon. All from the comfort of your sofa!
Wrapped up warm with a big mug of hot chocolate. Now that’s how we like to plan weddings. ☕
2. Save money
Weddings can be expensive. So it’s fantastic when you find the little shortcuts that save you some money. Check out our article on saving tips here.
Well, virtual tours can be a money saver too! Try virtual tours and save the money you would have spent on petrol or public transport. Then you can splash out on those little extras on your special day, guilt free. Sounds like a win-win to us!
3. Get excited
We know things are tough at the moment. Like, really tough. And sometimes, we just need to think ahead and get excited about what life will be like once this pandemic is over.
A bit of escapism is good for everyone and what better way than planning the best party of your life! Get your partner, grab a glass of wine and block out an evening. It’s time for fantasising about your dream venue. 🏰
For more day-to-day escapism, follow us on Instagram, where it’s positive vibes only from us.
4. Get ahead
Lockdowns have been hard. But when this is all over, people are going to be in serious need of a party.
We’re going to have more weddings than ever before. People have been postponing their big day for over a year now and some of the most popular dates are filling up fast.
By taking a virtual tour, you can feel more confident about putting down a deposit to secure a date. A lot of venues are being more flexible with deposits in the current circumstances, so do ask and see what they can do for you!
By securing your date, you can put your feet up and rest easy, while others scramble to get their preferred date once the unlocking starts.
5. Get inspired
Doing a virtual tour can help you picture your own wedding more easily. Often, this can generate ideas for couples about how they want their day to run and what else they might need to plan.
Looking at the lawn area might inspire you to have a cocktail hour before dinner to make the most of the location. Or perhaps that old school dancefloor might just tip the balance in favour of that DJ you’d been checking out.
Planning a wedding is hard. There are just so many options! Doing a virtual venue tour is the perfect way to picture you and your partner on your big day.
