WALKING IN A Tie the knot in stunning settings no matter the weather Stretching over 1,000 acres the Luton Hoo estate boasts formal gardens, designed by Capability Brown, glorious parkland, meadows, woodlands, lakes, rivers and nature trails – truly picture perfect! Beyond the magnificent facade of the 18 th -century mansion house, the historic influences continue in the Grade II listed Country Club. Also situated on the Luton Hoo estate, by the banks of the river Lea, is the exclusive-use venue Warren Weir, which is a hidden oasis that is perfect for exclusive weddings who want a little privacy. With ornate ceilings, winding staircases, marble fireplaces, individual period rooms, beautiful chandeliers and the stunning interiors are perfect for couples looking for a grand and romantic setting. For ceremonies, couples can choose from popular options like The Library or the Sitting Room with views over the formal gardens and lake, or perhaps the beautifully decorated Churchill room or Pushkin room would be more fitting? For larger gatherings, all of the suites Lea & Roding, Ravensbourne, Bayford and Cobbins all accommodate larger numbers and have feature fireplaces or stunning views to name but a few of the standout features. Post-vows, couples can celebrate in multiple spaces offering a multitude of benefits, including the Romanov Suite; undoubtedly the most impressive room that was once the Chapel of the house. It boasts original stained glass windows and ornate ceilings, and the suite can be used for a variety of different events, with capacity for 120 diners across both the upper and lower levels. When tying the knot here, couples will benefit from a dedicated wedding team to assist in the smooth running of your day, as well as enjoy a complimentary menu tasting and suite for the newlyweds on the wedding night.
