THE CONSERVATORY AT LUTON HOO 01582 459 216 | www.lutonhoo-walledgarden.co.uk Nestled within the historic 18th-century Walled Garden, The Conservatory in Bedfordshire offers a beautiful backdrop to events. The venue’s grounds were established in the 1770s by John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute. It’s now continuously developed to reflect the traditional use of the grounds with beautiful flowerbeds, plants and fruit trees. The luxury marquee is finished to the highest specification with a music system and decorative lighting, including a starlight ceiling and customisable coloured up-lighters. Couples can exchange vows inside the marquee, and blessings can occur on the lawn. After the “I dos”, the marquee opens onto a private patio area within the garden to provide the perfect setting for drinks receptions and games. The Conservatory has been designed flexibly and has a separate reception area for wedding breakfasts with 300 guests. There’s a spacious dancefloor and stage for those all-important speeches and entertainment, suitable for up to 400 people in the evenings.
