Planning a multi-day celebration?
Here is your ultimate three-day wedding itinerary
Don't limit the magic to just one day. Make yours an extended wedding celebration. If you're planning a Herefordshire celebration, show your guests why you fell in love with this rural destination with our effortless three-day guide.
Day 1 - Wedding Eve: Market Towns & Mingling
Charming Market Towns are in high supply across Herefordshire. Wherever your guests are basing themselves, they’ll be within easy reach of historic high streets, independent boutiques, and a great flat white before check-in. It'll be just what they need to unwind after traveling from far and wide.
Host a relaxed welcome drinks reception at a local country pub or inn near your venue. It’s the perfect chance for long-lost friends and relatives to reconnect, stag and hen party friendships to reignite, and new faces to meet your nearest and dearest before the main event.
Day 2 - The Big Day: Early Exploring
With the wedding party tied up in hair, makeup, and last-minute preparations, the morning of the big day is a great chance for guests to explore. Driving through our famous Black & White Villages trail offers instagram-worthy photo opportunities and quiet spots for a quick bite of breakfast. Or, for those looking to squeeze in a pre-wedding run, suggest they download the official Visit Herefordshire App and they'll have 60+ countryside trails at their fingertips.
Before the ceremony, consider suggesting a local pub for guest to gather and calm any pre-wedding jitters over a glass of local fizz or craft cider before heading to the venue.
Day 3 - Reflections & Recovery
AM: The Morning After Recovery
Want to offer your guests the ultimate hangover cure? Suggest a refreshing morning dip at a local wild swimming spot like Bredwardine, The Dragon's Gate or Leintwardine. If 360-degree views without an arduous hike sound more appealing, suggest one of our 'Easy Peaks' routes. With vistas reaching for miles, Herefordshire's summits are a wonderful place for quiet reflection and to blow away the cobwebs.
PM: Long Lunches & Fond Farewells
Taking a slower pace on 'the day after' gives you one last chance to gather everyone together for a long, lazy brunch, a Sunday roast, or a bring-your-own picnic in a scenic spot if the weather is playing ball. Whatever you choose, it’s a wonderful opportunity to swap photos, share funny stories, and relive every missed moment before waving your guests a fond farewell and heading off to your happily ever after.
