Set in its own 1,500-acre estate, this exclusive-use venue is surrounded by sweeping lawns, parkland, lakes, woodland, tennis courts, walled gardens and incredible views. Visitors first glimpse the breathtaking building down a tree-lined driveway. Inside, the Grade I listed country house exudes a homely feel, perfect for winter weddings. Restored to a five-star luxury standard, there’s a spa wing, casino, disco and the incredible Balcony Room – a spacious suite with room for the whole bridal party to get ready in. The venue also has a real sense of fun, showcased by the rooftop golf tee and putting green. There’s even a mini lift to bring your drink up to you! LET’S CELEBRATE! Couples can tie the knot at the church next door or in the Garden Gazebo (200 guests) for an al fresco setting. The house has some wonderful spaces for celebrations. The North Hall (150 guests) is an Elizabethan wood-panelled room, while the Ballroom (200 ceremony guests and 250 reception guests) is a light, south-facing space. The grounds are home to the stylish Yacht Club (150 ceremony guests and 90 reception guests) and decking area. A modern wooden building, it boasts lakeside views and has a marquee site adjacent to it for larger parties. Guests will love the secret casino. Set in a converted cellar beneath the sprawling stately home, only those who book the entire house can make use of it. There’s also the underground disco. Party here, and you’ll be walking in the footsteps of BBC Radio 1 DJs who have celebrated in the space. WE LOVE… All couples receive the expert services of event managers Georgia and Nell, who’ll guide and support you throughout the planning process. LOCAL VENUES 15 
