The Best Decision for our Wedding

"We don’t even know where to start! Hiring Chris to shoot our wedding video was the BEST decision we made for our wedding. From the first meeting we had to discuss his style and approach, we knew we were on to the right person. Chris’ attention to detail is parallel to none."

Tips for planning a wedding in Private Property

Planning your wedding on private property? Whether it’s a family estate, a countryside retreat, or a friend’s sprawling garden, hosting your wedding on private property offers a unique and personal touch. It’s a chance to create a truly bespoke celebration that reflects your personality and love story. Here are some tips to help you make the most of a private property wedding, no matter where you are in the UK or beyond.

Embrace the Flexibility of Private Property Weddings

One of the biggest perks of a private property wedding is the complete freedom to shape your day exactly how you want. Unlike traditional venues, there are no strict schedules or packages to follow—you can choose your ceremony time, where the dance floor goes, and even how late the party runs! From setting up a marquee in the garden to hosting a cozy barn wedding on the property, the flexibility allows you to create a truly custom celebration that feels like you.

Whether you’re dreaming of an intimate ceremony in a family garden or a full-scale event on a private estate, the property’s unique features—be it beautiful gardens, woodlands, or lakes—will add a personal and meaningful backdrop to your day.

Personalise Every Detail

Weddings on private property provide the ultimate blank canvas for personalisation. Since the property is yours (or someone close to you), you can weave in personal details that wouldn’t be possible at a traditional venue. You might hang family photos in the reception area, have your ceremony under a tree that holds special meaning, or set up cocktail stations in different parts of the property to keep guests moving and exploring.

Because private properties are so customisable, you have the chance to create distinct spaces for different parts of the day. Imagine saying your vows under a gorgeous old oak tree, having dinner under a marquee draped in fairy lights, and dancing the night away in a barn or on a custom-built dance floor under the stars. The possibilities are endless.

Work with a Wedding Videographer Experienced in Private Property Weddings

When hosting a wedding on private property, every nook and cranny of the space is part of your story, so capturing it beautifully is key. A wedding videographer experienced with private property weddings will know how to make the most of the property’s unique features—whether it’s a scenic view, a rustic barn, or a charming garden pathway.

An experienced videographer can also navigate the logistical challenges that come with private properties, like changing light conditions or the layout of the grounds, ensuring your wedding film is as stunning as the day itself.

Plan for Practicalities

One of the charms of a private property wedding is the flexibility, but that also means you’ll need to think about the logistics. You might need to hire everything from marquees and tables to generators and toilets, especially if you’re hosting a large number of guests. The beauty of private property is that it allows you to create something entirely unique, but be prepared to plan all the details.

Make sure to consider:

Power Supply: If the property isn’t set up for large events, you’ll likely need to bring in generators for lighting, sound systems, and catering equipment.

Catering: You may need to hire external caterers and create a temporary kitchen space if the property doesn’t have large kitchen facilities.

Guest Comfort: Depending on the property’s location, you might want to think about things like extra heating, lighting, or even providing blankets for guests if it gets chilly in the evening.

Take Advantage of the Natural Surroundings

Private properties often come with stunning natural surroundings that can make your wedding day extra special. Whether it’s a sweeping view over the countryside, a hidden woodland spot, or a serene lakeside, let nature be your backdrop. You can arrange an outdoor ceremony under a floral arch, create lounge areas with hay bales or vintage furniture, or set up outdoor games for your guests to enjoy while they take in the scenery.

Plus, the changing light throughout the day—from golden hour to dusk—will add magic to your wedding photos and videos. Your wedding videographer can capture those natural, candid moments as the light changes, giving your wedding film a timeless, ethereal feel.

Consider the Weather (and Prepare for Anything!)

The weather is always unpredictable, especially in the UK, so it’s essential to have a backup plan. When you’re hosting a wedding on private property, think about creating weatherproof options for your ceremony and reception.

Marquees: If you’re planning an outdoor wedding, having a marquee as a backup or even as the main event space is a great idea. It gives you flexibility while still letting you enjoy the outdoors.

Rain Plans: Make sure you have plenty of umbrellas or covered walkways if it’s forecast to rain. A little drizzle can actually add some charm to your day, but it’s always best to be prepared!

Heaters and Fans: Depending on the time of year, you may want to hire portable heaters for cooler evenings or fans for a summer celebration.

Create an Intimate Atmosphere

Weddings on private property tend to feel more intimate and personal, regardless of the guest count. You’re inviting your loved ones into a space that holds meaning for you, which creates a unique connection. Decorate the space to reflect your style and personality—whether it’s with family heirlooms, fairy lights strung between trees, or custom signs leading guests to different parts of the property.

With a property that’s yours for the day, there’s no rush to pack up and leave. You can create a relaxed vibe where guests can wander, enjoy the scenery, and feel truly at home. This slower pace can make your wedding feel more meaningful and allow for plenty of natural, candid moments to be captured on film.

Personal Touches and Memories

One of the most special parts of a private property wedding is that it’s often deeply personal. Whether it’s your family home, a close friend’s garden, or a meaningful place you’ve chosen, the location itself is tied to your memories. This makes every moment of your wedding day even more significant, as the property becomes part of your love story.

Make use of spaces on the property that are particularly meaningful—whether it’s a family tree, a favorite picnic spot, or a place that holds memories from your childhood. These personal touches are what make a private property wedding so special, and your wedding videographer will help you capture the essence of the location and all the memories tied to it.

A wedding on private property is an exciting, personal, and creative adventure. From making the most of the space to bringing in vendors who can help you bring your vision to life, each decision helps create a day that is uniquely yours.
