Nestled in the heart of history, Crondon Park offers couples a breathtaking backdrop for their dream wedding day. Our enchanting 17th-century barn combines rustic charm with modern elegance, creating a unique setting that captures the essence of romance.

With meticulous attention to detail and a dedicated team of professionals, this award-winning venue ensures that every aspect of your special day is tailored to your vision.

The blend of character, charm and thoughtful design allows celebrations to flow naturally, whether that’s an intimate moment or a lively gathering. Crondon Park provides a versatile and exclusive use space that caters to all styles and preferences.

The landscape and spaces work beautifully together, offering timeless backdrops that feel authentic rather than staged in all seasons. Let us help you create unforgettable memories in a venue that tells a story as timeless as your love.

Facilities and Capacity

The Baronial Hall is the beating heart of Crondon Park, embracing an authentic Tudor barn aesthetic. Seating up to 148 people for a sit down meal and up to 220 for an evening reception. The Ceremony Room is the designated indoor civil ceremony space for up to 100 people seated, with the main hall providing for higher guest numbers. Outside we have two options to offer. One underneath a floral canopy providing a romantic amphitheatre-style setting for warmer months, with the more recently added option in front of the fountain in the garden.

Couples have private access to a beautiful half-acre garden beside the Baronial Hall where they take those all-important photographs, enjoy their drinks reception, garden games or simply giving guests a place to unwind. External seating is also available in this space.

A hugely unique part to the venue is the private room and powder area that can be used by our couples and their bridal parties. This exclusive area ensures privacy for touch-ups and moments of relaxation, allowing you to remain refreshed and confident without having to leave the hall. It's a thoughtful touch that many couples appreciate, as it keeps everything you need within easy reach.

We are also able to offer our couples night before accommodation, located separately from the Baronial Hall. It can sleep up to 8 people, has 2 dressing tables and private patio, allowing the bridal party to prepare themselves prior to the ceremony.

Hands down 5* all the way!

My husband and I got married here 16th November 2025, and what can we say but wow! Crondon Park is without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best venues ever. I had seen a few places online, knew I wanted to visit, and as soon as we both visited, we knew it was the right venue for us. We booked it within a couple of days in November 2024, before they were named best venue in the U.K. and we 100% understand why they have so many 5* reviews now!

Everyone was so helpful, from the moment we enquired to the morning after the wedding. Special mentions to Kara and Ellie for their patience and kindness with all our emails and questions! And a massive thank you to Jo, our front of house manager, who was friendly, welcoming, helpful and amazing. All of the team were great, from setting everything up (there was a lot of set up because I DIY’ed a lot!) to the catering and waiting and bar staff, to the in-house dj - honestly we can’t sing Crondon Park’s praises enough.

A couple of little hiccups but what wedding goes perfectly! Nothing was too big or too small to sort, and we are so very grateful for everything. You won’t go wrong if you choose Crondon Park - they 100% know what they are doing, they are all lovely, the venue is stunning if you’re after that rustic barn feel, and they deserve every single 5* review!

Thank you Crondon Park for making our wedding so perfect. With love from Mr & Mrs Burton x

Our Dream Wedding Brought to Life By Crondon Park

We had the most amazing experience at the beautiful Crondon Park and cannot praise the team highly enough for everything they did to make our wedding unforgettable.

From the very start, the planning process felt smooth and stress‑free thanks to Ellie. She was incredibly supportive throughout, always quick to respond, and consistently went above and beyond to make sure every detail was covered. Her organisation and guidance made the lead‑up to the day so much easier and far more enjoyable.

On the day itself, Kayleigh was absolutely exceptional. Her calm, friendly presence made the whole day run seamlessly. Nothing ever felt rushed or stressful, and we were able to fully relax knowing everything was being handled with such care and professionalism. She created an atmosphere where we could simply enjoy every moment.

Both Kayleigh and Ellie played such a huge part in making our day so special. Their dedication, warmth, and attention to detail truly set Crondon Park apart.

We are incredibly grateful for all their hard work and couldn’t have asked for a better team to support us.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Crondon Park to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with an outstanding team who genuinely care about making your day perfect.

We had the best wedding

Thank you so much to the Crondon Park crew for taking care of us so well. Every decision, question, choice, and request was accommodated for so well. The venue is beautiful and we could not have been happier. We had a few mishaps in the days leading tot he wedding that caused our plans to change but the venue were so supportive in helping us with solutions. They decorated the venues so beautifully and the servers were incredibly attentive. During photos, they kept bringing us food and drink to make sure were were looked after. My only request to make the venue an 11/10 would be to put a Nespresso machine in the Lily suite like all the other rooms have. No bride wants instant coffee before their wedding! Luckily the bar opened and we got one there eventually.

The best day of our lives

We couldn't be more grateful to Kayleigh, Ellie and all the Crondon Team for making our wedding the day we'd both always dreamed of.

Every single member of staff is so lovely and helpful! A special thank you to Ellie for always being on the other end of the phone or emails to answer any questions we had and being so helpful in the lead up to the day.

Our Front of House, Kayleigh, was an absolute ANGEL and we were in awe at how amazing she was on the day. She was always there helping us to be calm, checking in on everything to ensure it was all running smoothly and just going above and beyond from the second she arrived in the morning to the very end of the night when the last guest had gone home!

The girls stayed in the Lily Suite the night before and highly recommend, it is so lovely and the perfect space for a girly evening! The team bought us in the most amazing breakfast the morning of the wedding and created the perfect getting ready girly morning for all of us.

The barn was decorated so beautifully and just how we imagined. Absolutely everyone commented on what a beautiful venue it was, how lovely and helpful the staff were and how amazing the food was.

We truly had the best day of our lives and we cannot recommend Crondon Park enough.

The Best Wedding Venue, Crondon Park will make your dreams come true

We got married on New Years Eve at Crondon Park and everything was perfect.
The staff know exactly what they are doing and helped organise the finer details that only they know. The attention to every detail was faultless. A special mention has to be to Jo who was our Coordinator on the day and she coordinated seamlessly. Everything flowed and went perfectly. All our wedding party commented on her fantastic way. Her friendliness, professionalism and knowledge was so reassuring and comforting on our wedding day.
The venue looked stunning and the food was delicious.
The Bridal party stayed in the Lilly suite the night before the wedding and we had a wonderful evening.
We would definitely recommend Crondon Park and would give them a solid 10/10 for every aspect.

Couldn't recommend more!

Our wedding day at Crondon Park really was the best day of our lives. From initially viewing the venue to tidying up the next day, the staff could not have been more helpful and flexible. The whole process was easy and stress free. Many of our guests commended the staff on their attentiveness on the day and the high quality of the food. The venue is beautiful and has lovely guest rooms to use and a bridal suite where the bridal party can get redy in the morning.

Overall our experience was 10/10 and would highly recommend to anyone planning their wedding.

Could not have asked for more

We and our guests had a lovely time. Kara, Ellie and Kayleigh and all the team have been great at helping us make our vision be a reality and helped with logistics and flow. Thank you especially to Kayleigh for keeping me calm through the day, kept making me feel everything was going well, and sorted all of the background stuff for the day.

Wonderful day, amazing venue

We cannot recommend enough Crondon Park as a wedding venue. From the very moment we stepped foot into the Baronial Hall to view the venue we knew it was the one. Everyone from that day were so friendly and accommodating, and we wasted no time in booking our date.

Everyone was so helpful, from Kara in the office to Kayleigh on the day who co-ordinated everything. Anything we (my bride) wanted, they accommodated. They made us feel like the centre of the day and looked after us from stop to finish.

All our guests were impressed with the intimacy of the venue and had a thoroughly amazing time. The food was outstanding, the bar is in a convenient location, and the staff were amazing. The bridal suite is stunning and set apart just outside which gave us privacy in the evening and the morning, and the guest rooms and breakfast were amazing.

I may be biased, but the best wedding venue in England for sure.

The perfect venue

I couldn’t recommend Crondon Park enough! Jo and the team made everything perfect, and added displayed all our little touches exactly how we imagined. The highlight of the day by far was the cocktail hour we got to choose 3 cocktails of whatever we wanted not just from a list, our guests loved it and the photos that came out from this hour was amazing.

We cannot thank the whole team at Crondon more, the venue itself is beautiful with stunning scenery for photographs.

Stunning wedding venue and attentive staff

We couldn't be more thankful to all the staff at Crondon Park for making our wedding day so special.

From our first viewing with Carly a year beforehand, all the emails back and forth with Ellie and Kara and our planning meeting with our coordinator Tracey, we felt looked after and in good hands! On the day, Tracey was extremely attentive and accommodating and made sure the day went perfectly.

Everyone was so helpful and did everything they could to ensure the day met all of our expectations and more.

We would highly recommend Crondon Park to any couples looking for a beautiful barn venue, with the most amazing food, brilliant resident DJ Phil, and lovely staff! Thank you so much!

I now understand why they are the number 1 wedding venue on Hitched!

My husband and I were married on the 28th September 2025 and it was an amazing day. When looking for wedding venues in 2023 Crondon were the stand out choice for us and we certainly made the best decision. From the original viewing, to bringing our parents, booking, food taster evenings and wedding, their attention to detail was like no other. No question was ever difficult and commuication was excellent. They insured the day ran smoothly and always worked with our pace. A massive thank you to Kayleigh and the team for making the day such a smooth process and so easy going. We never found planning the wedding stressful and we really believe Crondon helped with this so much. They were never pushy with upselling anything and were always happy to accommodate, even with fussy guests and dietary requirements. You wont regret choosing Crondon as your wedding venue!

Sales Manager

Hi I’m Kara, I’m the sales manager here at Crondon park. I have been working here since July 2018.

I started my wedding journey as a waitress at 16 years old and love being a part of this industry. Although I did leave for a few years, I always felt something was missing within my career path and jumped at the chance of returning.

Being in the wedding industry is a role that you have to love. You have to be passionate about the product/service you are trying to sell to potential couples and hopefully this comes across when I talk to my enquiries. As a venue we of course have packages/services that we generally keep to however we are extremely aware that every wedding day is special and unique to every couple in their own way, so we also like to be as flexible as possible and work with couples on their journey.

The one thing I thrive from is getting feedback from our couples that they have the best day ever. This is our purpose and why I love this job so much.
