The finer details
On a truly stunning June summers day Paul and Hayley chose to exchange their vows within the beautiful Italian Garden. Hayley chose to take an extended walk through the grounds of the Arboretum before making her way down the aisle to meet a beaming Paul. After an emotional ceremony the guests enjoyed a quintessential glass of Pimms or two accompanied by a delicious selection of canapes.

Wedding Breakfast
Bespoke Marquee at Arley Arboretum

The wedding reception was held in a stunning marquee on the front lawn of Arley Arboretum. The clear open sides created a luxurious and romantic setting under the early summer sunshine. A beautiful combination of powder blue hydrangeas, white roses and fragrant stocks added a fresh and elegant theme to the light and airy surroundings of the marquee. Paul and Hayley decided to go against tradition to treat their guests to hilariously heart-warming speeches before a relaxing and sumptuous meal.

The evening celebrations
Paul and Hayley certainly gave their guests an evening to remember. A fantastic Ceilidh band had every single guest up dancing for hours creating the most wonderful atmosphere. The celebrations continued well into the night leaving only beautiful memories and joyous laughter behind.

Important Update

As we continue our commitment to sustainability and improving our guest experience, we’re excited to share that the entire Arley Estate — including the Tearoom and Events Venue — will be going cashless from January 2026. This change helps us reduce our environmental impact, streamline operations, and support a more efficient, secure, and modern way of working across the estate. We’ll continue to accept all major debit and credit cards, as well as contactless and mobile payments. Our team is, of course, here to support anyone who may need a little extra help adjusting to the new system. Thank you for joining us on this positive step towards a greener future for Arley Estate.
