Start your day being pampered in our beautiful bridal changing rooms. Let us arrange lunch for you, accompanied perhaps by a chilled glass of Champagne….

Following your ceremony you will lead your guests over the Tudor Bridge capturing your confetti shot en route to the Mansion House.

Built in 1720, the Georgian house is one in which to entertain and be entertained. The magnificent door welcomes you and your guests into the Grand Hall for your drinks Reception. Enjoy the ambience of the ornate oak paneling and grand sweeping staircase which make the most stunning back drop for your photographs. In the summer months you will lead your guests onto the beautiful terrace overlooking the spectacular lake, providing the perfect setting for your drinks reception. This is the perfect backdrop to have musicians entertaining your guests whilst making full use of the garden games we have available to hire. For a winter wedding the Hall is further enhanced with a roaring log fire, perfect for enjoying a glass of mulled wine with your guests. The silk lined walls and chandeliers of the Ashhurst Room are also available for your use during this time. This the perfect location to receive your guests before they take their seats for dinner in the Marquee.

The Tulip Lawn Marquee, taking its name from the magnificent Tulip Tree on the lawn, is the perfect backdrop for any decorative theme. Fully contained with everything you need for the perfect celebration seating up to 200 guests for the wedding breakfast. There is a fully equipped dance floor and stocked bar which are both hidden from the main dining area, thus avoiding the need to move tables for your evening entertainment.

The Marquee and grounds are as spectacular by night as they are by day creating the most romantic of settings for your perfect day.

Carriages at midnight.
