DELBURY HALL 01584 708 354 | www.delbury.co.uk A magnificent Georgian mansion, Delbury Hall promises the romance of an exclusive use setting within a privately owned home. It also features beautiful gardens, numerous ceremony options and a contemporary dining space. The property is a sight to behold from the moment guests set foot on its sweeping driveway. Nestled in the heart of Shropshire, the Wrigley family’s home is surrounded by 80 acres of meticulously landscaped gardens and parkland. The characterful Coach House, stables and Courtyard, all overlooking a picturesque lake, add to the venue’s beauty. On the morning of weddings, the team invites couples to prepare in the bridal suite, with ample room for bridesmaids to join for a glass of bubbly. When the moment arrives, wander through the Courtyard to the garden pathway for outdoor ceremonies, stroll beside the lake into the house’s Main Hall, or along the path to the village church. Each ceremony option allows lovebirds to enjoy a moment of calm, soaking up the peaceful atmosphere of Delbury Hall before saying wedding vows. Following the ceremony, guests can wander onto the lawns for drinks and canapé s, celebrating nuptials in front of the house and beside the lake with its Muscovy ducks. On cooler days, enjoy that first glass of Champagne in the Coach House, overlooking the pretty stables courtyard, the lawns and the dovecote. The Coach House was restored and renovated with dining in mind, boasting light through its bi-fold doors and high, beamed ceilings. A neutral colour palette with original beams and stone floor lends itself to all wedding styles, with couples choosing to personalise with dé cor and flowers adorning the beams and the sleek glass-balconied mezzanine. Contemporary facilities include underfloor heating, a sound system, a fully stocked bar and a professional catering kitchen. The Ludlow Catering Company creates exceptional dining experiences for all weddings. In the evening, the Coach House becomes a party space. Full-length blinds keep out the light, creating a dancefloor vibe for chosen bands or DJs, while the mezzanine becomes a chill-out area. Guests who stroll out onto the Courtyard can overlook the venue, which is lit by floodlights. Evening buffets can be served in the Coach House, or perhaps pairs might choose to have a hog roast or fish n’ chip van in the Courtyard. The team doesn’t want couples to leave Delbury at the end of the events. With that in mind, the stables have been converted into stylish, versatile accommodation for couples and their closest loved ones.
