Introduction

Alrewas Hayes is a picturesque country estate which offers the unique fusion of historical grandeur with a contemporary twist. Dating back to the 18th Century, the Manor House has been the residence of the Williams family for five generations, with the current owners being the first to host their wedding at Alrewas Hayes! From your very first step through the doors, to your big day becoming the newly-weds, the small but very passionate team will bring you the welcoming warmth of a family home.

Every marriage should begin in a beautiful place, so with its distinctive curved ceiling, arched windows and bathed in a beautiful natural light, The Orangery is the perfect location to say ‘I do’. Following the nuptials, there are endless photo opportunities within the venue and around the grounds to capture your first moments as a married couple, including the iconic Vatican-inspired mural located in The Lobby or in front of the Manor House

WHATS NEW…

At Alrewas Hayes, they are always evolving to ensure that the venue is the best that it can be, which is why we are so proud to unveil their newest transformation. The Lakeside has had a full make over and my my it looks soooo good! The team stripped out the carpet and wall linings. In went new permanent walls, new wooden flooring, white Wisteria trees, upgraded foliage using eucalyptus and ivy, sparkling chandeliers, mirrors and wall lighting, upgraded furniture with Orchid features throughout, upgraded lighting, electrics and speakers and a purpose built stage for bands and DJs. I mean what a change!!

The neutral interior means that the Lakeside can lend itself to any colour scheme or styling trend, and is now in keeping with the romantic elegance that other parts of the venue naturally possess. We personally love the new look and you can get yourself a viewing by giving the team a ring.
