Good company.
Room to gather.

Your people, together in the trees

Woodland weddings

Begin with the things you want to remember: the people beside you, the meal you will share and the atmosphere of the day. Ellis Reed helps turn those priorities into a useful plan, from the ceremony setting to a sheltered alternative when the weather changes. The example arrangement welcomes up to forty guests, with an indoor dining plan for the same group.

  • Outdoor ceremony with an indoor weather plan
  • A seated meal for up to 40 guests
  • One coordinator for timings and arrangements

Make room for the conversation

Meetings with daylight

Choose a room around the work you need to do. A board meeting needs a different arrangement from a workshop or a short presentation. Our three example spaces offer clear capacities, flexible breaks and access to the lounge, with a shared meal and a walk available to change the pace. Tell us your format, access needs and equipment list when outlining the day.

  • Three rooms for different working formats
  • A lounge for smaller conversations
  • Lunch and refreshment arrangements

A date worth gathering for

Make an occasion of it.

A birthday lunch, a family reunion or an evening with your team can start with a simple outline. Tell us who is coming, what you would like to share and the pace you have in mind. For a small exhibition or launch, include display sizes, setup time and the space people need to move around. Begin with a guest list of up to forty people.
