The Magic of a
Twilight Wedding
A twilight wedding at Salomons Estate captures the romance of golden hour, with your ceremony beginning as the late afternoon light softens and your celebration continuing under fairy-lit gardens and starlit skies. There is something truly special about exchanging vows as the sun dips below the treeline of our 36 acres.
Our Victorian architecture takes on a different character at dusk — warm candlelight fills the grand rooms, fairy lights illuminate the gardens, and the estate transforms into an enchanting evening setting. Looking for inspiration? Read our guide to twilight weddings at Salomons.
More Affordable, Equally Memorable
Twilight weddings offer all the magic of a full-day celebration at a more accessible price point. With ceremonies from 4pm, you still enjoy golden-hour photos, a sit-down wedding breakfast, and a full evening reception — simply with a more relaxed start to the day.
Why Choose a Twilight Wedding
More Affordable
Twilight packages are typically lower than full-day weddings, giving you more to spend on the details that matter most.
Golden Hour Photos
Capture magical sunset shots across 36 acres of Victorian gardens, woodland, and rolling lawns.
Relaxed Timeline
No early morning rush. You and your guests arrive refreshed and ready to celebrate from late afternoon.
Atmospheric Setting
Fairy lights, candles, and the natural beauty of dusk create an effortlessly romantic atmosphere.
Evening Celebration
The party starts earlier and runs longer. More time on the dance floor, more memories to make.
On-Site Stay
47 bedrooms accommodate up to 110 guests. No taxis, no curfew worries — just keep celebrating.
