A Three-Day Weekend Wedding in Lancashire
A three-day wedding at Sparth House
Most weddings end too soon.
As a weekend wedding venue in Lancashire, Sparth House gives you the space to turn one day into a relaxed three-day celebration with the people who matter most.
What a three-day wedding at Sparth House looks like
THE EVENING BEFORE
You arrive at Sparth House the afternoon before your wedding.
Your closest guests can check in and settle into their rooms before joining you for a cocktail hour with canapés and a relaxed dinner together.
No rushing between venues. No strangers sharing the house. Just the people who matter most, together the night before you get married.
The house is reserved exclusively for your celebration, including all 16 bedrooms, the gardens, bar and lounges. You choose which guests are offered each bedroom, and they pay Sparth House directly for their stay.
YOUR WEDDING DAY
You wake up in the Garden Apartment — a two-bedroom space with its own private garden, just steps from the main house. Your wedding party can join you there while you get ready, as the rest of the house is prepared for everything that follows.
Your ceremony takes place in the Woodlands Suite, followed by drinks in the gardens, a three-course wedding breakfast in the Alexandra Suite and dancing into the evening.
With your closest guests staying in the house, the celebration does not have to end the moment the music stops.
THE MORNING AFTER
The next morning, everyone can come back together for breakfast and relive the day before.
Some guests may head home after breakfast, while others can stay for the relaxed family BBQ or lunch included as the final part of the three-day celebration.
That unhurried morning — guests gradually coming downstairs, coffee on the table and stories from the wedding being replayed — is often one of the parts couples value most.
Nobody has to rush off the night before, and the celebration can end gradually rather than all at once.
“I honestly believe the Sparth House team are the best in the business and that booking my wedding with them was the best decision I could have made.
I am so incredibly grateful to this gorgeous venue and its team. Whatever wedding you’re envisaging, I promise you that they will take that vision and perfect it. There is no one better out there and I’m so excited for all of the other couples who get to experience the passion and thoughtfulness that Sparth House put into all of their weddings.”

Is a three-day wedding right for you?
A three-day celebration may suit you if:
YOU HAVE GUESTS TRAVELLING FROM FURTHER AFIELD
Having your closest guests staying in the same place reduces the need to coordinate separate hotels, taxis and travel at the end of the night.
YOU WANT MORE TIME TOGETHER
The evening before and the morning after give the celebration a natural beginning and ending, rather than everything happening within a single day.
YOU ARE PLANNING A WEDDING OF AROUND 40–60 DAY GUESTS
The package is designed around 60 day guests and 100 evening guests, with the option to add more people to any part of the three days.
YOU WANT THE CELEBRATION TO FEEL RELAXED
Arriving the evening before gives you time to settle in, while the final morning means guests do not all disappear as soon as the music ends.
The best way to understand how the three days flow is to walk through the house and see each part of the celebration in person.
