Are there separate rooms provided for the wedding ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception?

Is there a dressing room that the Bride and Bridesmaids can use prior to the ceremony?
Yes, we will be able to make one of the conference rooms available.
When can we have access to the room?
This is largely dependent on other events that may be taking place prior to yours. Our team prefer to start laying up 48 hours before where possible. You can arrange to leave your decorations with our Events Team if you need to.
If the evening reception is being held in a room that is being used for something else earlier in the day, do you require the DJ/Band to setup their equipment beforehand?
No, we would expect there to be sufficient time between events to allow them to set up nearer to time.
Is there an area that could be used as a crèche if needed?
Yes, you can have a conference room to use as a crèche, although a charge may apply.
Does Ware Priory have accommodation?
No, Ware Priory is not a hotel. However we do have preferential rates with local hotels and these can be supplied upon request. We can also supply you with a list of firms to organise your travel arrangements.
