About

Weddings 

Whether you’re planning a large extravagant wedding, or something more intimate, we have an experienced events team on hand to help. Our dedicated wedding planners will provide an outstanding service to create a bespoke wedding day to suit you and your dream wedding requirements. The venue provides a spectacular setting for your wedding. Its 18th Century baroque architecture, over 2000 acres of picturesque, landscaped parkland and award-winning Formal Gardens, makes it the perfect backdrop for photographs. 

For evening wedding ceremonies, we have our Marlborough Room with its beautiful double-vaulted ceiling and chandeliers or for more intimate ceremonies we have the Oudenarde room which is perfect for smaller numbers. We can also host wedding ceremonies in our stunning Formal Gardens, making the most of the panoramic views of the Palace and grounds. We have a number of magnificent spaces inside the main Palace to host receptions including the Great Hall, Saloon and Long Library. For larger numbers, marquees are hugely versatile and can be located in a number of beautiful areas across the Estate.  

New wedding space for 2024 - The opening of the refurbished Orangery 

Elevate your wedding experience further with our newly restored Orangery. In January 2023, we embarked on an innovative conservation endeavor aimed at reinstating the roof of The Orangery to its original robust slate composition and is the first Grade 1 listed building to do something of this kind. 

Today, the culmination of our efforts unveils an extraordinary transformation. The Orangery, restored to its former glory, now embraces a captivating bar area and seating arrangement catering to up to 120 guests. This harmonious merger of contemporary chic with timeless charm amplifies the allure of our historic venue, creating the space for your special day.  

Matching exceptional service to this incredible setting, we have a dedicated team of experienced wedding planners that take great pride in their attention to the finest details ready to help create your dream celebration. 

Our Events Team will put together a bespoke package to match your needs and ensure that your wedding runs smoothly, living up to your every expectation.
