About the venue

A country estate on a grand scale

Between Lichfield and Burton upon Trent, Alrewas Hayes is a Grade II listed Queen Anne house set in a 100-acre estate. It is available for exclusive hire seven days a week, all year round, so the whole estate is yours for the day.

There are four ceremony areas, with outdoor ceremonies in the warmer months and room for up to 400 guests to see you say your vows. The courtyard can also host a blessing.

For the reception, the estate takes from 50 up to 650 guests, which makes it one of the biggest wedding venues in Staffordshire. Live music, discos and even fireworks are all allowed.

Eleven bedrooms across the Main House, the Lodge and the Coach House sleep up to 22, including the Theodore Suite, so your closest family and friends can stay on the estate.

Vows outdoors, a reception for hundreds, and horns to finish.

Why a live band

Big weddings need a big band

A reception for hundreds of guests needs a band with real power behind it. That is exactly what we bring.

Sound for every table

For 200 guests or more we bring our larger PA, so the horns and vocals reach the back of the room as clearly as the front.

Ceremony music

Our acoustic singer and guitarist can play an outdoor ceremony, then carry on through the drinks.

Party all night

Exclusive use, live music and fireworks allowed, and guests staying on the estate. It is set up for a big night.

Horns on the lawn

Our roaming brass band can play around the gardens and courtyard while the photos are taken.
