Eco Friendly Wedding Venue

At Hayne House, we wholeheartedly believe that weddings can be kinder to the planet – without compromising on style or quality. Our team is passionate about upholding our responsibility for the environmental impact of weddings, and we’re committed to taking meaningful action to play our part in protecting our planet – this is what makes us an eco-friendly wedding venue.

We are proud to have received certification from the Sustainable Wedding Alliance in July 2021 and play an active role within the wedding industry to make it more sustainable.

Our commitment to being an eco-friendly wedding venue

Sustainability is at the heart of every decision we make, both within our business and beyond. From our long-term ambition to reach carbon net zero, to the smaller actions we take on a day to day basis, we are doing our very best to evaluate and improve our practices, one step at a time.

In January 2021, we kicked off the year by joining the United Nations Race to Zero Campaign, a global campaign to achieve net zero by 2050. We believe we can reach that target way before that, and are on track to reducing our emissions by half by 2022 and be carbon neutral by 2030. We are proud to be ambassadors for the Sustainable Wedding Alliance, working to promote sustainability within the industry.

How are we running as an eco-friendly wedding venue?

Looking ahead

Hayne House’s journey to being carbon neutral is a long road ahead, and we know it’s no simple undertaking. By sharing a snapshot of what we will achieve over the next 5-10 years, you can see our dedication to this challenge. We hope it’ll inspire you to take part in it, simply by hosting your wedding with Hayne House.

Being part of the change

From the moment you choose Hayne House as the home of your wedding, you’re making a brilliant step towards a greener wedding- because for every wedding we host, we sponsor a quarter acre of Rainforest with Rainforest Concern!

Our team are so incredibly passionate about the opportunity we have to create change within our industry, and have poured untold hours into ensuring that the commitment to sustainability of every supplier to our business meets our own high standard. It’s all about making it easier for our couples to plan a wedding that treads a little more lightly upon the planet – without having to compromise upon a single detail.

Offering affordable eco-friendly wedding venue incentives
