With beautiful food, peaceful surroundings and our secluded woodland bar, Hawthorn Hideaway is perfect for a relaxed, romantic celebration with your closest loved ones.
Designed for intimacy and romance, our elopement weddings include a luxury stay in one of our two lodges or the waterside Kingfisher Narrowboat, complete with private hot tub, cinema dome, breakfast hamper and relaxing spa experiences for two.
Celebrate in our woodland yurt, marquee or secluded waterside gardens, beautifully styled with candles, fairy lights and our romantic heart shaped arch.
Your celebrant-led ceremony will be uniquely crafted to reflect your love story. A personalised poem will be written just for you, creating a meaningful and heartfelt moment.
As our ceremonies are celebrant-led rather than legal ceremonies, you’ll complete the legal formalities seperately at a registry office.
A special keepsake will be yours to treasure long after your wedding day has passed.
Personalise your elopement ceremony with a sand pouring or hand fasting ceremony. Your day can be as unique as the love you share.
Our professional wedding photographer can document your day with unlimited edited images presented in an online gallery. A pre-wedding photoshoot is included, either at Hawthorn Hideaway or an agreed location before your stay.
With our woodland and waterside location beside the Chesterfield Canal, there are backdrops throughout the retreat. You’ll receive keepsake with USB, slideshow, and twenty 5×7 prints.
“The perfect woodland venue for our vow renewal —beautiful, peaceful, and magical. Everything was taken care of, making our day truly unforgettable.”
Choose from beautifully crafted 5, 6, or 9 course tasting menus, or a bespoke three-course dining experience created around your tastes for intimate weddings.
