What is a Twilight Wedding?

With civil ceremonies available until as late as 6pm, seven days a week, did you know you can book a wedding with an alluring twist? A twilight wedding under the candlelit gaze of your family and friends is perfect for couples wanting to steer away from traditional wedding formalities.

Starting at sunset, a twilight wedding is popular during the Autumn and Winter months but is also a good option if you want to avoid the peak heat of the days in Summer. Relaxed, romantic and magical, it allows couples to get creative with lighting and enjoy a more intimate ceremony before dancing the night away at your reception.

At Compton Verney, the grounds and galleries close to the public at 5pm meaning you can enjoy exclusive access to our breath-taking art and 120-acre site during our opening days. Welcome your guests with a walk through the Ice House Coppice as dusk falls, before they take a seat for your candlelit ceremony in the beautifully ornate Chapel.

After dusk, enjoy a drinks reception with your guests in the elegant Naples Gallery while you take perfect photographs of your day in dramatic lighting across our architecturally impressive site.
