With traditional architecture and landscaped grounds, the English country house naturally lends itself to luxury.

Our new luxury wedding package proves that you can improve on perfection.
What Defines a Luxury Wedding Venue?
For us, a luxury wedding venue is about more than the stately home setting (lovely as it is).
It’s about making sure that each tiny detail is considered and realised, and that every element of the day is meticulously planned and seamlessly delivered. It’s about that sense of quality that runs through everything we do.
Unparalleled service with the beautiful backdrop of a historic English estate: that, to us, is what makes a luxury wedding, luxurious.
How Important is Location in Luxury Venues?
Luxury weddings need elegant settings – and what could feel more refined than your own country estate?
Our luxury wedding venues are in the countryside, set in tree-fringed estates with sweeping rural views. However, all have easy transport links, with our Essex wedding venues just a short journey from London.
Can Ambiance and Decor Enhance Luxury?
The historic architecture of our stately homes creates an inherent sense of luxury; however, it’s those bespoke extra touches that elevate the experience.
Flowers, lighting and colour schemes all come together to enhance the natural beauty of the house and gardens. Your dedicated Personal Wedding Manager will work with you to create the luxury wedding of your dreams.

Are There Additional Fees to Consider?
Speak to your wedding venue about what’s included in the price and what isn’t. For example, there will be extra fees for third parties such as the celebrants, photographers and entertainment. If you want to stay overnight (before or after the wedding, or both), there will be accommodation costs.
All-inclusive wedding packages will include food, some drinks and the costs of dressing the house. If you want to add unique touches or upgrade the catering and drinks offers, this will mean an extra cost. Sometimes, choosing the most expensive wedding package can cost less, as the luxurious elements are more likely to be included.
How Can You Budget for a Luxury Wedding Venue?
The key to planning a luxury wedding is to decide your priorities. An all-inclusive luxury wedding package should include everything you need for a showstopping wedding, but you can influence the cost by deciding what you want to add on top of that.
The venue cost makes up the largest proportion of your wedding budget; however, opting for an all-inclusive venue package is a good way to keep costs down, even at the most luxurious end of the scale.
