Weddings at Lower Lode
Bring together a licensed ceremony, riverside photographs, food, speeches, music and somewhere to stay—or choose only the parts that fit.
Three useful starting points
These are not rigid bundles. They help you see which spaces, timings and practical details might work before the venue prepares a tailored proposal.
Full-day wedding
Make the function hall your own, move outside for riverside drinks and photographs, then settle in for food, speeches and a proper evening celebration.
Up to 100 for the ceremony; 80–100 dining; more than 200 in the evening.

Intimate & weekday
Gather in the main inn building for a licensed ceremony and an unhurried meal, with the river close by for photographs and a little breathing room.
Up to 35 for a licensed ceremony; up to 50 for private dining or functions.

Reception & weekend
Arrive by the river, bring everyone together over food, and give the evening room to grow—with guest rooms and a rustic seasonal campsite to discuss.
Dining and evening numbers depend on your chosen layout; the hall hosts more than 200 for an evening party.

Flexible by design
The separate function hall can move from ceremony to dining and on into the evening. Room dressing, table plans, entertainment and food format are worked through around your guest list.
For a smaller celebration, the main inn building has a licensed room with a more intimate scale. Both options keep you close to the river and garden.

Before you choose
Yes. Lower Lode Inn is an approved ceremony venue with licensed indoor spaces. You arrange and pay for the registrar separately through Gloucestershire Registration Service.
The main starting points are a full riverside day, an intimate weekday wedding, a reception-only celebration and a stay-and-celebrate enhancement. Each is shaped into a tailored proposal rather than treated as a rigid bundle.
Guest numbers, room layout, food, timings and stayover needs can change the shape of a celebration. A conversation or private viewing gives the team enough context to prepare a personalised proposal around what matters to you.
Call, email or use the enquiry form. Share your approximate date, guest numbers and the style of celebration you are considering so the meeting can focus on the right spaces.
Yes. The venue and legal ceremony arrangements are separate. Contact Gloucestershire Registration Service to check registrar availability before treating a ceremony time as confirmed.
