A country house wedding, without the stuffiness.
Retreat to Hopton Court Estate and celebrate your love your way. Hopton Court's generous hire peroid means you can truly relax, settle in and create a wedding that is undeniably you.
Nestled within 1000 acres of Shropshire countryside, Hopton Court Estate is an exclusive use wedding venue. The beautiful Georgian country house, Victorian Orangery, Coach House and grounds are the perfect spot to lock the world away and craft your dream celebration, surrounded by your closest family and friends.
Built in 1776 and designed by John Nash in his signature Palladian style. Hopton Court Estate has been home to the Woodward family since 1863. Today, three generations of Woodwards work alongside the estate team to preserve Hopton Court’s heritage and nurture the estate’s farm land and countryside.
The Squirrel Bar
Located in the Coach House, the Squirrel Bar will keep the drinks flowing throughout your day. Stocked with just about everything from draught beers, to local gins, whiskies, wines and delicious cocktails! Plus, you also have the option to provide your own wine and, for £5 per bottle, the bar will take care of the chilling and serving.
Food
Food is such an important part of your day, which is why the food team work closely with you to make sure they get it just right! The chefs love to talk food (as well as cook it) so you can work with them to create your perfect wedding feast. No wedding is the same, so the menu is flexible from plated meals, to sharing boards, BBQs and street food.
The Apartment
A stay in the House Apartment is included in all Hopton Court's wedding packages. The Apartment is the entire top floor of the House and sleeps 6+2 guests across 3 bedrooms. It also includes a kitchen/diner and lounge. The best thing about the Apartment is the 360 views across the Estate from the beautiful big Georgian windows.
