A ceremony for two
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want somewhere quite special for your ceremony. Maybe you want something different to a registry office wedding. Whatever the reason, entrust us with your plans to ensure a very special and intimate wedding day that you’ll treasure for years to come.

Make Your Elopement Even More Special
An elopement at Butley Priory is intentionally simple, a beautiful ceremony in an extraordinary setting, shared with just a few of the people you love most.
But for couples who would like to add a little extra celebration, we offer a selection of carefully chosen upgrades to help you turn your elopement into an unforgettable experience.
Champagne & Canapés After Your Ceremony
Once you’ve said “I do”, take a moment to truly celebrate. Add to your drinks reception with more champagne or bottled beers, accompanied by elegant seasonal canapés served in the Priory’s stunning surroundings.
It’s the perfect way to toast your marriage, enjoy time with your guests, and savour those first moments as newlyweds.
A Little More to Raise a Glass
From additional bottles of champagne to curated drinks packages for your guests, we can help you create the kind of relaxed celebration that feels right for you. Whether it’s a simple toast or a fuller drinks reception, we’ll make sure the glasses stay full.
Turn Your Elopement Into a Mini Escape
By adding an extra* night at your cottage, you can slow everything down, enjoying a relaxed evening before and after your ceremony and waking up surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of the Butley Abbey Wilds Estate.
It’s the perfect way to turn your elopement wedding into a truly memorable getaway.
