The Luxury of Time

The linen is steamed, the tables all set, the flowers are arranged, the caterers’ kitchen is prepped. The DIY details you dropped off earlier in the week are in place.

Eighty percent of the logistics that typically consume a wedding morning happened on Friday morning — without you stressing about any of these elements.

This evening isn’t on the schedule. It’s yours to spend however feels right — the venue is quiet, the hard work is behind you, and tomorrow is going to be exactly as you imagined it.

You can spend it chilling with a glass of wine and your favourite take-away, or celebrating with your friends and family over delicious food in a local restaurant.

Wake up to Lincolnshire countryside from your private balcony. The getting-ready room is ready — hair and makeup stations, comfortable Chesterfield sofas for the bridesmaids, all the space and light you need for photographs with your closest people.

A continental breakfast of filled croissants, yogurts, fresh fruit and coffee is laid on for everyone staying on site.

Step into the private gardens for your drinks reception. Our bar is designed around an elevated experience — a large selection of gins, rums, Italian spritz, champagne, Prosecco, whiskeys and cocktails, all served in premium glassware.

You can create your own signature his-and-hers cocktails for the day. The cocktail menu is one of the highlights of the Grange bar.

As the evening begins, the Oak View Hall comes into its own. Up to 120 evening guests join the celebration. The ceremony chairs are long gone — in their place, a dance floor and a row of black velvet Chesterfield sofas along the glass wall, creating a lounge where guests can sit, breathe, and watch the evening unfold.

The bar stays open, the cocktail hour flows, and the music carries through until half past eleven. We recommend pre-booking taxis — several local companies run cars, minibuses and coaches to bring your whole party safely home.

This is the part most couples say they treasure most. Gather your overnight guests for a second continental breakfast — croissants, yogurts, fruit, fresh coffee — still together, still on the estate.

The Grange is yours through Sunday morning, and there is nowhere you need to be. Couples tell us this is the part they didn’t expect to love as much as they do — the wedding is done, but the weekend isn’t. There is still time to sit with people you haven’t sat with properly, to hear how yesterday felt from someone else’s perspective.
