The Lion offers a tailored wedding venue and services for bride, groom and between 30 and 250 guests. As a historic Victorian Coaching Inn, our rooms have character and charm, providing the perfect backdrop to your special day.
From an intimate gathering, to a lively celebration, we’d love to host your wedding party at our wedding venue. Our approach is to offer you a wonderful experience, which is suited to your preferences and budget. As such, we do not have a set wedding package, but have outlined a few options below. The best approach is to get in touch info@thelionwaddesdon.co.uk to discuss your ideas.
Within the pub, we can cater for up to 30 seated guests or up to 70 for a standing buffet in our restaurant, making us a flexible wedding venue for all types of parties. For a larger celebration, we erect a marquee at the rear of the hotel, where up to 100 guests can enjoy a seated meal; alternatively a buffet for up to 250 guests can be arranged.
With a trained 5 star chef in the kitchen, you can be confident that your wedding guest will be well catered for. We have put together sample menus for you to select from, however, if you have a specific menu choice in mind, we are happy to consider your request and provide a price.
We offer B&B accommodation for wedding parties.
If you would like us to arrange entertainment, we can recommend live bands to suit a full spectrum of music tastes.
We can also take on responsibility for ordering flowers and other decorations for the venue.
