This is how we do it
The build-up
Once you’ve viewed and booked your wedding at The Normans, our dedicated team will ensure that you enjoy every aspect of your wedding - from the planning and preparations to the Big Day itself.
We pride ourselves on the personal and professional service we offer all our couples.
You can call, email, or visit us as often as required.
We’re always happy to answer questions (you'll have lots!) and offer wedding-related insights and advice, whenever it’s needed.
YOUR WEDDING
We never hold weddings on consecutive days, so you have exclusive access to the venue on the day before your wedding to make The Normans your own.
On the day, we will be onsite to coordinate and ensure everything runs smoothly.
We’ll liaise with your suppliers, welcome your guests, look after you throughout the day, and wave you off at the end of the night.
In short: you won’t have anything to think about… other than having a good time!
Capacity
The venue is geared towards wedding parties of between 60 and 120 day guests.
Once the ceremony and wedding breakfast are finished, couples can invite up to 60 additional evening guests.
Max capacity for day + evening guests = 180.
Prices
We try our best to keep our packages and pricing structure as simple as possible.
