Deposit, capacity and the prices Tewin Bury Farm does not publish
Tewin Bury Farm does not publish wedding prices or packages. What its pages do state: a deposit of £2,000 secures a wedding booking, bespoke chair covers are offered from £3.50 per chair, and the venue is fully cashless. The Tythe Barn takes up to 160 guests for the ceremony and wedding breakfast and up to 250 for the evening, on exclusive use for the day. No capacity is published for Kingsbridge House or for Tewin Water.
The Tythe Barn, outdoor vows and the questions to ask
The Tythe Barn page says couples can say their vows within the barn or outside on the farm, and the festival weddings page offers marriage in the nearby church or within the grounds. Neither page sets out the civil ceremony licence, so ask which spaces are approved and what the wet-weather plan is for an outdoor ceremony.
The venue's own wedding pages name the three settings above, and its festival page says dry hire can be explored while recommending a fully catered day. For a Hindu, Sikh or Muslim wedding, ask in writing about outside or specialist caterers, a mandap, an open flame for a havan, a baraat, and the music finish time.

Kingsbridge House and rooms on the farm
No bridal suite is named. Kingsbridge House, with six en-suite bedrooms, a lounge, a dining room and a kitchen, is offered for private hire including weddings, and the Tythe Barn page says guests can stay on site in farmhouse rooms, lakeside huts and woodland cabins. Ask which room you would have on the morning and how much natural light it gets.

Outdoor vows, a firepit and a working farm
- An outdoor ceremony on the farm is offered, so agree in advance who makes the weather call and by what time.
- The firepit the venue offers gives a natural evening setting for portraits and candid groups.
- Some hotel rooms sit close to the event venues, the terms note, so ask for a quieter room if preparation starts early the next day.
- Festival weddings at Tewin Water run shuttle transfers across the estate. Build those journeys into the timings if you choose that setting.
