Intimate Weddings

Weddings come in all shapes and sizes these days; if you want a big, traditional kind of day, that’s great, but if you’d prefer a more intimate wedding with close friends and family, we may have the perfect venue for you.

Intimate Weddings, or Micro Weddings, have become increasingly popular because it’s easier to make your special day exactly how you want it to be and for you to remain completely in control. Smaller numbers make everything more manageable, from catering and flowers, to how you want to dress the venue and entertainment. Some of our properties have a wedding planner who will work with you, or you can make it a DIY wedding; either way it’s less stressful and there’s less chance of anyone taking over.

The beauty of a smaller wedding is that it can all happen sooner – you don’t have to plan it a year or more ahead as you do for a bigger occasion. Our intimate weddings are aimed at people who want things to happen a little quicker – up to 6 months in advance.

Sleeps12 have luxury group holiday houses that are licensed for weddings and give you the perfect backdrop. The accommodation is all onsite and there are dedicated venues or rooms where the ceremony can be held. You can keep things as small as you like as you don’t have to fulfil the maximum capacity of the property; for micro weddings of up to 30 guests it works well.

We even have a list of trusted suppliers who you can book to help with the details. It’s all about doing your wedding your way.

FAQ

Why is a large group holiday house a good venue for an intimate wedding?

A large group holiday house is a good venue for an intimate wedding because everything is all on one site – the venue (the room you get married in), the dining space, the backdrop to your wedding photographs, and the accommodation for yourselves and your guests.

Do you have properties that are licensed for weddings?

Yes, we do have properties that are licensed for weddings. This means they are legally permitted to host the official civil marriage or civil partnership ceremony. The licence applies to specific indoor or outdoor areas rather than the whole property. You can see our Intimate Weddings properties below.

Is there a limit to how many guests we can have at our wedding?

Yes, there is a limit to how many guests you can have at your wedding. The maximum number of guests will be the same as the number of guests the property sleeps. If the dedicated venue space holds more day guests, this may incur an extra charge.

Are you able to recommend private caterers for our wedding?

Yes, we are able to recommend private caterers for your wedding. We work with several trusted suppliers who can help with the finer details, like caterers, florists, beauty therapists, activity providers and even a sweet cart and a photographer.

Can we book an intimate wedding if we are getting married at short notice?

Yes, you can book an intimate wedding if we are getting married at short notice. That’s exactly what our micro weddings are for – the wedding date must be within 6 months of booking.
