Why We Love Autumn Weddings at Houchins
There’s something truly special about an autumn wedding — the golden light, the rich, seasonal colours, and that irresistible sense of cosiness as the days draw in. At Houchins, autumn is one of our favourite times of year to host weddings, and here’s why we think it’s the perfect season to say “I do.”
A Warm Welcome in the Grainstore
As the air turns crisp, there’s nothing more inviting than a roaring open fire — and the Grainstore has just that. This stunning space, with its warm, characterful atmosphere, becomes even more magical with the glow of the fireplace. It’s the perfect setting for an intimate ceremony or a relaxed evening gathering, adding that extra touch of comfort and romance to your day. Alternatively with our warming climate on a sunny day you can still get married outside under the marquee fully immersed in the colours of autumn.
Cosy from Head to Toe
Worried about the chill? No need! The entire venue benefits from underfloor heating, so your guests can kick off their dancing shoes without catching a chill. Whether you’re hosting your ceremony, reception or dancing the night away, you’ll all be snug and warm from start to finish.
Gardens Drenched in Autumn Colour
Our gardens put on a breathtaking show in the autumn months, with rich tones of copper, burnt orange, russet red, and deep green all around. It’s a dream setting for photographs — whether you’re posing under a golden-leaved tree or taking a romantic stroll around the pond. Add a few seasonal blooms and maybe even a pumpkin or two, and your wedding décor will practically take care of itself.
The House: Your Cosy End-of-Day Retreat
After a day filled with love, laughter and celebration, there’s nothing quite like retreating to the beautiful Houchins farmhouse. The historic charm of the house, paired with luxurious touches and all the home comforts you could want, makes it the perfect place to relax with your closest family and friends. Light a few candles, pour a glass of wine, and relive the best bits of the day in a space that feels like home — just better. At the end of the night just sneak off to our romantic Honeymoon Lodge for your first moment alone and your first night together as a married couple.
