Wrest Park House & Gardens

Looking every inch like a grand French chateau, Wrest Park is a magnificent 18th-century mansion standing in over 90 acres of magical gardens in spired by the Palace of Versailles.

This amazing location lends itself perfectly as a setting for summer parties which can make the best use of both the house and its grounds.

Five interconnecting rooms with high windows - two of them licensed for civil ceremonies - lead out onto a wide terrace. They overlook a breathtaking formal garden, one of the finest in the land, which features expanses of water, lawns and woodland dotted with fountains, statues and ornate Baroque buildings.

Those hiring Wrest Park have exclusive use of house and grounds. The lovely early 19th century Orangery, elegant in its simplicity, may be used for ceremonies, receptions and dining. The lawns it overlooks can accommodate marquees for up to 2000 people.

      Beautiful setting fairytale like setting & service
      We got married there in Sep 2011 and it was perfect! The grounds were just amazing and breathtaking. All our guests loved it! The service - esp Joanne Cameron - was exceptional. We got so much more value for our money vs some of the other places we were looking at - esp in London! Our guests (most from London) felt like it was a beutiful country break... Loved it loved it loved it!

      Thank you for making our special day so perfect. We had a fantastic day and would like to thank you all for all you did in both the run up to the wedding and the day itself. The staff serving the wedding breakfast were superb: polite, professional and incredibly attentive. We could not have asked for more. The food was spectacular and many of our guests commented upon the high quality of the food, espeically when taking into account the catering was for 90 people. Thank you once again
