Whether you are looking for a historic and iconic building to make your party memorable or a wedding venue with a stunning view to give your photographs the wow factor, there are plenty of places to choose from.
Here are our top 5 picks of the best wedding venues in the Home Counties:
Waddesdon Manor
The Dairy at Waddesdon Manor is a stunning wedding space set beside a lake and surrounded by beautiful gardens. On arrival you walk through a stunning courtyard, before heading into your chosen space of either the West Hall with its vaulted ceilings and open fireplaces, the contemporary South Hall or the light-filled glass.
In addition, there are two other exclusive use venues on the Waddesdon Estate – The Manor, one of Europe’s last remaining Rothschild Properties and the newly launched Wedding Cake, designed by Joana Vasconcelos which we had the pleasure of visiting recently.
Hedsor House
A private country house in Buckinghamshire with its own 100-acre park, available for exclusive use, was once home to Augusta, the Princess of Wales and mother of George III.
Its convenient location, just 40 minutes from London, makes it a popular choice to weddings, parties and unforgettable events.
Cliveden
Make your own history by holding your event at Cliveden, a venue which has welcomed the likes of Charlie Chaplin, Winston Churchill and John Lennon. When it comes to settings for a celebration, they don’t get much more famous than this. From featuring in films to being the place John Profumo first met Christine Keeler, sparking off the notorious Profumo Affair, you will walking in the footsteps of some of the world’s most well-known figures.
The stately home is now a luxury hotel located in Berkshire. It has impressive views of the River Thames and is an ideal wedding venue for people living in London who want to escape to the country for their big day.
Blenheim Palace
With landscaped gardens designed by Capability Brown and 2,000 acres of parkland, it’s hard to imagine a grander setting than Blenheim Palace. This Baroque palace, seen by many as a national treasure, is available for a variety of celebrations including weddings and private parties. There are a number of unique and unforgettable locations at the palace including a champagne bar, The Great Hall and the Long Library, which is one of the longest rooms in any stately home in Britain.
Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons
This is a foodie’s paradise with dishes devised by celebrity chef Raymond Blanc.
However, there is more to Le Manoir than its menus and its two Michelin stars. The intimate Oxfordshire hotel is licensed to hold civil wedding ceremonies and is set within stunning grounds which include orchards, an English water garden and an area known as mushroom valley.
