The Vibe
Berwick Lodge is everything you’d expect from a lodge – an intimate venue with open fires and cosy lounges – but with a luxurious yet relaxed feel that’s impossible to put into words!
The style would be described as elegant with an East meets West twist. Chandeliers hang from the ceilings, natural light streams through the windows, and unique furniture enhances the Victorian building’s character.
The 18 acres of grounds at Berwick Lodge are a treasure trove of unique features, including an impressive stone fountain, marble gazebo, Victorian summer house, tree swing, children’s playhouse, and an orchard. These elements add a touch of whimsy and charm to the venue, making it a perfect backdrop for your special day.
Civil ceremonies take place in the Mews, a beautiful ceremony room converted from the original stable block. It has lots of natural light, chandeliers, and views of the countryside beyond. In good weather, ceremonies can also take place in the beautiful gardens.
Their 14 exquisite boutique bedrooms are all individually designed and named. They have been installed with all the little finishing touches and luxuries that provide relaxation and comfort to you and your guests.
Food is at the core of Berwick Lodge, and the staff is very passionate about it. The delicious food, provided by the in-house team, is served from specially created wedding menus, using seasonal and local ingredients as much as possible.
At Berwick Lodge, their staff are not just a team, they’re a family. Their warm and welcoming nature ensures that your wedding will be personal to you, right from the very start. Their wedding co-ordinator Georgia, with help from the owner Sarah, who takes a personal interest in all of their weddings, is available to help as much or as little as you need in the planning process. Their dedication to making your day perfect is unwavering, and nothing is too much trouble.
