Why You’ll Fall in Love with Two-Night Celebrations in Oxfordshire....
Tythe’s Emma Deeley explains how wedding venues are answering the growing demand for slower, boutique-style celebrations in the Oxfordshire countryside.
“Couples often tell us the day goes by in a blur,” says Emma, Co-Owner and Creative Director at Tythe, Launton.
“Our Two-Night Weekend Wedding package was created so couples can fully immerse themselves in the joy, instead of racing from ceremony to last dance. Today’s couples crave connection over speed. Now every toast, every sunrise and each treasured conversation with guests, can be truly savoured.”
According to The Wedding Report, extended-stay celebrations have risen 35% over the last 2 years. In a recent survey by Wedinspire the results showed only 11% of couples preferred a single-day wedding, with the majority opting for more than 3 days.
Emma notes “there’s something magical about slowing down, particularly on your wedding day.”
Tucked away on the edge of the Cotswolds, in rural Oxfordshire, Tythe is redefining what a wedding weekend can be. This quintessentially English venue offers couples the chance to stretch time - if only for a weekend - with its elegantly curated Two-Night Wedding Experience. Gone are the days of whirlwind one-day celebrations. Modern couples are craving more time, more connection, and calm - in amongst all the excitement. Tythe’s luxury weekend wedding offers exactly that and is available year-round.
With exclusive use of its breathtaking estate for an entire two-night experience, couples can enjoy everything onsite from the welcome supper the day before to the lazy farewell breakfast post-wedding day. Tythe gives couples the opportunity to enjoy their celebrations in their own time, allowing the whole experience to unfold naturally and to share all the wonderful moments with their favourite people across three magical days.
If you’re planning a 2026 wedding, consider this your inside scoop: two-night wedding weekends are the luxury trend couples are loving and for good reason.
