Revenue model

1. Wedding Venue Hire: Primary revenue stream from exclusive-use wedding hire. Pricing starts from £9,500 for venue hire, with the celebration fully bespoke to each couple. Includes exclusive use of the house and grounds, eight en-suite bedrooms, dedicated wedding coordination, and catering partnerships.
2. Private Venue Hire (Non-Wedding): The house is available for private hire for retreats, photoshoots, content creation, corporate events, and brand launches. This provides incremental revenue outside of wedding bookings.
3. Weekend Stays: The venue offers weekend escapes with exclusive use of the house for two to three nights, sleeping up to 16 adults and 4 children. Pricing starts from £3,200 for a two-night minimum stay. Additional services include private chefs, local activities, housekeeping, and concierge.
4. Catering Partnerships: The venue works with exclusive catering partners who know the house intimately. While couples work directly with caterers on menus, the venue facilitates these relationships as part of the wedding package, and catering is an integral part of the overall revenue.
