The William Cecil

Newly refurbished and standing on the edge of the historic Burghley Estate and the town of Stamford, The William Cecil sets new standards. A beautiful garden marquee awaits or you can take your choice of reception rooms in the hotel itself. If you’ve imagined a bridal suite with a private garden, an historic location, a venue with everything you could want and a warm welcome, then The William Cecil is your ideal choice.

We believe in offering a unique wedding experience, understanding that every occasion is different - which is why we tailor the event to meet your requirements, not to suit ours. We don’t believe in making you choose from menu ‘a’ or menu ‘b’, or choosing boring drinks packages, we just want your Special Day to be exactly that, your Special Day. From the outset, you will have your own dedicated wedding coordinator, who will help you through every step. From help choosing an exquisite florist, to finding a photographer who will capture the moment. From putting the mother of the bride into the best room, to organising a round of golf for your party.

We don’t do hundreds of weddings. We’re not a wedding factory and you’re not a statistic. We pride ourselves on tailoring each wedding to your bespoke needs. We want you and your guests to be hit with the ‘wow’ factor.

The William Cecil proves a popular and exquisite venue set in the heart with 4 rooms to choose from, giving you the setting, cuisine and ambience you want for your special day. We have a ceremony licence for 100+ .

An amazing venue encompassing luxury and style.
