For a lot of couples in Solihull, the right wedding venue sits in a sweet spot. It needs to feel like a proper escape on the day, yet still be easy for family and friends to reach. That is exactly where The Limes Country Lodge sits. We are a family-run hotel set in six acres of Warwickshire countryside in Earlswood, just off Junction 3 of the M42, and we host weddings of every size, from intimate ceremonies to celebrations for up to 200 guests.
Here is why couples from Solihull and across the Midlands choose to celebrate their day with us.
A countryside setting that is still close to home
Our six acres give you a green, peaceful backdrop for photographs, drinks receptions and quiet moments away from the party. Inside, our licensed ceremony rooms are filled with natural light and look out over the countryside.
Getting here is simple. We are only minutes from the M42 and around 15 minutes from Solihull, Birmingham Airport and the NEC, with good links to the M40, M5 and M6 for guests travelling from further afield. There is ample free parking on site, so nobody needs to worry about where to leave the car.
Ceremony, reception and accommodation under one roof
The Limes is fully licensed for civil ceremonies and civil partnerships. You can hold your ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception all in one place, so there is no need to move guests between venues partway through the day.
We also host receptions for couples who marry at the register office, vow renewals, and post-wedding celebrations for couples who tied the knot abroad and want to celebrate with family and friends back home. Whatever your plans, you can find the details on our wedding venue page.
Outdoor ceremonies, with a plan for the British weather
During the warmer months, our grounds provide a natural setting for an outdoor ceremony. We always have indoor options ready as a backup, so your day goes ahead beautifully whatever the weather decides to do.
Rooms for you and your guests
With 27 bedrooms on site, your wedding party and guests can stay the night and enjoy breakfast together the next morning. Our rooms range from Standard and Deluxe Doubles to Superior Twins and our Superior Suite. Many couples choose to book the entire hotel for an exclusive country house wedding. See our rooms for more detail.
Food that fits your style
We offer everything from canapés on arrival to a full three-course wedding breakfast. Choose from traditional roasts, BBQs and pig roasts, or speciality catering including Indian and Caribbean menus. Our chefs cater for all dietary requirements, so every guest is looked after. Our fully licensed bar keeps the celebrations going into the evening.
Entertainment and the evening party
We have a dance floor and can accommodate live bands, DJs and solo musicians, as well as our in-house DJs. Our events team will work with you and your chosen suppliers, and we can point you towards recommended suppliers if you are still building your team.
Weekday and short-notice weddings
Our weekday wedding packages offer the same dedicated service, bespoke catering and exclusive use of our grounds at a more flexible price point, with greater availability. We also often have dates for short lead-time weddings, especially on weekdays, so if you would rather marry sooner than later, get in touch.
A family-run team that works with you every step of the way
As an independent, family-run hotel, we treat every couple as one of our own. Our events team has more than 20 years of experience and will work with you from your first show round through to your last dance. We proudly welcome all couples and are honoured to host weddings of every kind.
