How to Plan Your Dream Garden Outdoor Ceremony

Why Choose an Outdoor Garden Ceremony?

Garden ceremonies are perfect if you love fresh air, natural light, and a relaxed vibe. At Leonards Hill Estate, our garden outdoor ceremony spots give you the freedom to celebrate surrounded by nature, without feeling like you’re far from home.

Picking the Right Spot

We offer two standout ceremony locations that work beautifully for garden weddings:

The Grand Tree

A wide open space with sweeping branches that frame your ceremony and plenty of room for guests.

The Courtyard Garden

Timber portico, framed by rustic barn doors and open sky. This space blends character and charm, giving you a backdrop that feels both intimate and timeless.

Both spots offer a blank canvas to bring your style and personality to life.

Styling Your Garden Ceremony

Whether you’re thinking fresh and simple or full-on floral, here are some tips:

• Use the natural greenery as your backdrop — you don’t have to over-decorate!

• Choose seasonal blooms to tie your flowers into the landscape.

• Think about seating that keeps guests close and connected, like circular or semi-circle arrangements.

• Consider practical things like shade, especially for summer weddings.

  
  

What to Expect on the Day

We’ve got you covered with practical details so your garden ceremony flows smoothly:

• Easy access and parking for guests

• Ceremony sound system, if needed

• Flexible timing to suit your plans, whether you want an early afternoon or late afternoon ceremony
