'I spent £30k on a solo wedding for my 40th birthday - followed by a me-moon'

Brittany Allyn spent £30,000 on a self-funded solo wedding at a Grade I estate, promoting female empowerment and celebrating her 40th birthday with 35 guests.

  • Brittany Allyn, a 40-year-old content creator from New York City, staged a self-funded solo wedding at Hinwick House, spending 30,000 pounds and then headed to Paris for a 'me-moon'.
  • Faced with a six-month countdown to turning 40, Brittany decided last summer, on August 7, to do something to feel better instead of feeling depressed.
  • The Saltburn-style evening featured a champagne tower, violinists, and a bridal photoshoot with Ricky, 36, Brittany's brother, walking her down the stairs.
  • Brittany said the event was an empowerment statement and she believes she was the first woman to pay for every detail herself at the 300-year-old hall, marking a historic first.
  • She found the manor online, spotted it had '20 something rooms,' then worked with Louise Wright, Olivia Buckingham, hired a five-person hair/make-up/photography team, and rented a 1980s Defender.
