As the last traces of winter fade and the days begin to stretch a little longer, March welcomes the first true signs of spring. At The Ferry House, we love how this time of year brings a sense of new beginnings – so what better season to start your next chapter together.
One of the best things about a March wedding is the chance to enjoy the longer, lighter days, even if the weather isn’t always sunny. The slightly warmer temperatures mean you can still embrace the outdoors, whether it’s taking in the views over the estuary or enjoying a game of giant Jenga in the garden.
And if the weather turns? The moody skies and soft spring light make for some of the most striking photos, whether you’re under an umbrella or catching the rainwater reflections on the terrace. These unique moments will add character to your day, and the venue itself looks just as beautiful in the misty, rainy atmosphere.
If there’s a chill in the air, blankets are a thoughtful touch to keep your guests warm while they mingle. It’s those little details that make a March wedding so special, rain or shine.
March offers more flexibility with your wedding plans – and your budget. With packages more affordable outside the peak season, you’ll have the opportunity to invite more of your loved ones or add those extra touches that make your day truly special.
The milder weather strikes the perfect balance, offering warmth without the summer heat. Your guests can enjoy the outdoors, whether it’s strolling through the gardens or taking in the views, or they can gather indoors where cosy fires and intimate spaces create a warm, inviting atmosphere. It’s the best of both worlds!
Usually falling between 5pm and 6pm in March, golden hour slots effortlessly into a traditional wedding timeline. It’s that quiet moment between the meal and speeches, or just after you’ve finished eating – the perfect time to step away together, breathe it all in, and capture some stunning photos in that soft, golden light, whether along the estuary or in the surrounding fields. If you’re planning a twilight wedding, even better. Golden hour often lands right in the heart of your drinks reception, so you’ve got plenty of time to sneak off without missing a thing.
As your guests enjoy the crisp air and the beauty of the venue, why not treat them to a taste of the season? Think light, refreshing cocktails with hints of elderflower, warm apple ciders with a spring twist, or even a ‘pimp your prosecco’ station with seasonal fruits and homemade syrups. These drinks add a touch of springtime charm while still feeling cosy and comforting – the perfect way to toast the season’s change.
March brings that lovely balance of crisp spring air and cosy indoor charm. If the sun’s shining, guests can enjoy the fresh air on the terrace or explore the gardens. But if the weather’s a little less predictable, our indoor spaces are just as stunning. Picture the fires lit in our private pub, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for your drinks reception. The fairy-lit barn corners provide intimate spaces for mingling, while the fireside drinks table adds a cosy touch to your celebration, and our rustic photobooth makes for the perfect indoor entertainment.
Spring is full of fresh ideas for wedding themes, and one of our Gold Trusted Suppliers, Idyllic & Co, has shared some of their favourite spring inspirations. Whether you’re drawn to the timeless charm of classic spring, the bold vibrancy of colour-blocking, or the striking beauty of bold and beautiful themes, there’s something for every couple.
