Inside this graceful building, ceremonies take place in the panelled Drawing Room overlooking the terrace and lawn beyond. With a tall bay window and high chandeliered ceiling, it’s an elegant room in which to say your vows with up to 80 guests. Post-vows, the Garden Suite is decorated in a neutral grey palette and comes complete with a large fireplace – it’s a great blank canvas for each couple to make their mark. With large windows along two sides, it’s a light, airy space, which can accommodate up to 80 guests seated on round tables, 120 can celebrate with you for the evening festivities. The grand staircase and tiled hallway at Barnett Hill are iconic and make a wonderful backdrop for wedding photographs with endless opportunities for photos outside too!
