Weddings and Civil Partnerships

Bellows Mill is an idyllic old watermill nestling beneath the Chiltern hills. Our attractively converted barn is licensed to hold Civil Weddings and Partnerships for up to 60 guests.

Couples have the exclusive use of the barn for the ceremony, where you can choose to have a formal wedding breakfast afterwards. Alternatively, you may like to have drinks and canapés, which can be served beside the lake, before moving to another venue for the rest of the day.

This picturesque setting makes a perfect backdrop for your wedding photographs.

We will introduce you to our recommended wedding caterers and suppliers.

Your Civil Ceremony will be run by the Bedfordshire Registry Office, and you will be required to make a separate booking with them.

If you wish to speak to the Registry Office regarding bookings/charges, please call them on 01234 290450.

For more information on holding your civil ceremony with us please call Rachael on 01525 220548.
