More and more couples are opting for smaller weddings with just a handful of their loved ones in place of a larger, extravagant celebration with hundreds of guests. With the current coronavirus situation affecting the wedding industry, here at Pauntley Court we remain as flexible as ever for our clients to ensure they can still have their dream wedding day. As an intimate wedding venue in the Cotswolds, we can host an elopement for just two of you or a micro-wedding with 10 – 40 of your friends and family.
A micro-wedding can have just as much impact as a huge soirée and it can often be more meaningful. Many couples love the thought of a mini guest list as it means they can actually spend more quality time with their friends and family, savouring the experience of their special day without it rushing by in a blur.
Intimate weddings at Pauntley Court are informal, relaxed and truly personal. We have plenty of options for your wedding ceremony here at our country wedding venue in Gloucestershire, from the enchanting quince orchard to the light-filled Ballroom, which has space for a civil ceremony of up to 40. We’d love to take you on a tour so you can find a setting that is meaningful to you both, while you soak up the romance as you wander through our grounds, gardens, woodland and lake.
We also welcome our couples to make the most of their weekend wedding at Pauntley Court, with space for up to 24 people to enjoy our delightful accommodation. Our 10 gorgeous bedrooms will be yours over three days and two nights, offering everyone the chance to relax, unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Let Pauntley Court become your home for as long as you wish!

As a beloved family home in the Cotswolds, we think there is something quite special about getting married on a smaller scale, with just your closest loved ones surrounding you. A lot of couples are attracted to the thought of an intimate celebration as it reduces the level of stress that wedding planning can cause, along with the pressure of trying to please everyone. On the other hand, you may just dread the thought of being in the spotlight!
A charming country house wedding venue with plenty of quirks and character, Pauntley Court is renowned for its romantic elopements and intimate weddings. Our atmospheric spaces, stunning gardens and unrivalled views offer you the perfect blank canvas to create a bespoke celebration over a weekend, the way you want it to be!
