Chapel House Estate Drinks Menus

The perfect drinks menu for your wedding or celebration

Why not include something extra special for you and your guests

At Chapel House Estate, the standard drinks package for weddings or celebrations typically includes a glass of champagne after the ceremony, a half bottle of wine per person on the table, and champagne for toasting. 

Additionally, at Chapel House Estate, you have the option to add a Welcome Drink, which may consist of our popular ‘barrow of beers’ and a Champagne Tower for post-ceremony drinks.

Why not upgrade your drinks package?

If you really want to impress your guests for your post-ceremony reception, we recommend, after the confetti toss you include:

  • A Champagne or Processo Tower
  • A narrow of beer or cider, or both!
  • Canapes, but don’t forget to include something for any little ones – honey-glazed mini sausages are a winner, plus we offer vegan options
  • If you haven’t already, upgrade to include the walled courtyard that way, your guests can purchase any style of drink they want, or you could choose to put some money behind the bar
  • Hiring a musician or musicians to entertain your guests, see The Little Green Book of Recommended Wedding Suppliers
