Weddings

Arrive along an avenue of magnificent Wellingtonia trees, before entering the house via the grand external stone staircase. Adorned with beautiful collections of 18th- and 19th-century portraits, porcelain and furniture, the grand saloon and adjoining dining room offer an elegant and versatile setting for your wedding ceremony, drinks reception and dining.

Outside, the Victorian walled garden is an inspirational space for alfresco ceremonies, drinks receptions and your wedding photography.

For larger weddings, you can hire a marquee which can be easily accommodated on the lawns at the front of the house.
