elevated experience

Each of our 9 elegant wedding spaces offers something different. From palatial Italianate style to art deco and impressive neo gothic, you're sure to find the perfect fit.

The Main Hall

It is not hard to see why the stunning cantilevered staircase that majestically winds its way around the Main Hall is frequently chosen by couples as the location for their wedding ceremony. It is the obvious setting for anyone looking to make a grand entrance.

Outdoor spaces

Humphry Repton, the greatest landscape gardener of his day, was commissioned to design the formal gardens, and they remain intact today as the finest surviving example of his work. There are a number of suitable areas to enjoy throughout the grounds for both dining and ceremonies.
