YOUR RECEPTION

Receptions can be arranged in the house or in a marquee for larger weddings. Receptions taking place in the house are suited for smaller weddings and dinners.

High Drawing Room

Evening Reception in the High Drawing Room.

The stunning 17th century Drawing Room on the first floor of the house can take up to 50 people for a stand up drinks reception and if your party is under 30 guests dancing can be arranged on a small scale. A perfect room to have drinks before and after dinner.

The Dining Room

The 18th century Dining Room is situated on the ground floor in one of the wings of the house. Decorated with French hand blocked wallpaper bought in 1856 and family portraits dating back to the 1600's. The room is warm and suitable for small dinners as well as larger parties.

The Still Room

On the Ground floor the Still Room is bright and friendly room which is perfect for very small wedding meals of up to 8 people.

MARQUEES

Marquees are advised for weddings over 50 people or if you wish to have music and dance into the night. There are two main areas we would recommend siting your marquee. These are on the wine glass lawn in front of the house or in the old walled garden near the 1745 Cottage Restaurant.

Marquees can be luxurious or as simple as you like. We work with our preferred marquee specialist and we would advise you to contact us at the earliest opportunity to discuss your exact requirements.

1745 COTTAGE RESTAURANT

The Cottage Restaurant may also be used for a more informal gathering in the evening. Up to 50 guests can be accommodated here and there is some limited space for dancing. A Bar and refreshments can also be arranged.
