Stately Home Wedding Venues in Buckinghamshire

What a fantastic venue and what fantastic staff that made our special day so memorable. Nothing was too much effort and all our needs were attended to, thank you Bethan and Mia. The grounds backdrop for our photos were exquisite and truly showed off the beautiful status of the grounds and house. The quality of the wedding breakfast was also of a very high standard and was commented on by our guests. Would highly recommend 10/10.

We got married on 14th September at Stoke Place. The venue is stunning, with lots of different spaces you can use for your wedding and reception, including amazing grounds. There are also plenty of rooms for you and your guests to use depending on the package you book. The team at Stoke Place were fantastic throughout the planning process. Tracey and Alison, the planners we worked with, were both so responsive and always happy to answer our (many) questions. On the day itself, the team worked to ensure everything went well, including adding personal touches for us (e.g. serving us our favourite cocktail on arrival back from our church service). It really was the day of our dreams and I would absolutely recommend Stoke Place to anyone looking to get married in a stunning venue with heaps of character and lots of options to tailor your wedding day! A big shout out in particular to Alison, Renato, Simon, Ash and Patrick for making our day go so well!

Review from an OCD couple... it's an essay grab a cuppa... 🤣 Attentive, welcoming staff that went above and beyond, Stunning Grounds and stateley rooms, nothing was too much trouble, it's a 300+ year old building so they do have to do so much behind the scenes work to keep it looking in tip top condition all year long. Yes some areas could do with renovation or update, but it goes without saying... Rome wasn't built in a day, but mention any worries you have in advance and the team will do everything in their power to sort it for you. Just like they did for us! (I've heard some new changes are already underway re renovations- lucky couples)! We booked around 1 year in advance so kept popping in to see updates and attended all their wedding shows to meet local reccomended Suppliers that know the building and timings of the day well. So glad we did as got lots of helpful hints and tips. The gravel driveway during winter months obviously gets worn in from all the cars driving in the wet weather So they have regular maintenance to level and fill in any pot holes. (One of the big questions we had which was sorted ready for summer wedding season no issue at all) we also asked if the skirting boards would be painted as they had gotten scuffed/dirty with all the weddings/proms and other parties over Autumn and Christmas Weddings and was told it's something they do in January and a touch up when they can before the summer season. Amazing! Completely eased any worries we had. And true to their word when we attended a few weeks before our wedding it was all done... and even new carpets in some of the Manor bedrooms as well as freshly painted skirting in bedrooms etc too! Nice touch and suprise for us! It all looked so fresh and clean! The food.... 😍 well it was beyond what we could have imagined. Beef Wellington (upgrade) for our top table was cooked to perfection by Chef Simon and Team. They also catered for around 10 Allergens/Dietary Requirements with ease throughout the day with canapes, sit down meal and evening buffet. The General Manager was overseeing our sit down meal and made sure everyone including families with young children were happy and did all the check backs needed at the correct times to make sure the Dairy/gluten/nut free and vegans were all happy with their meals etc. What a relief. Upon booking I asked if i could reserve the bridal suite the night before for myself and 3 year old to stay in to get ready in the morning. (No other weddings on the day prior in the end so this was allowed when I checked again nearer the wedding) highly reccomend doing this or booking a room in the wing and moving bits over as I had 0 stress morning of as everything I needed for bridesmaids and throughout the day was already with me. We knew other guests couldnt check in until 3pm, but as there wasnt another Wedding on the day before some guests were checked in after the ceremony during room turn around which was fab! And also meant I could set up the day before as they also had no events on! 😍 what a dream! We had around 75 guests during ceremony and breakfast sit down meal, 100 guests in the evening. Perfect numbers for this Venue size inside the main hall. Harpist singing and playing whilst bridesmaids and myself walked down the gorgeous statement staircase to the main hall for the ceremony! (One of the big reasons why we booked for this fairytale feature)! Bouncy castle and crazy golf in the garden on the beautifully landscaped back lawn, a singer serenading guests during room turn around from ceremony to sit down. Vintage Popcorn cart for the kids too whilst the canapes were going around with pimms, we had it all! 😂 Saxophone and DJ set for the evening really set the tone for the evenings celebrations, with Sarah Sax hiding upstairs on the main balcony to suprise us blasting out a ibiza classic whilst we were all looking up from the dancefloor, walked her way down the staircase playing Sax and joined us all on the dancefloor with confetti blowing down on us all! Our photographers took us all round the grounds for photos. (Some of my favourites are the ones in the long grass by the dovecot) and of course on the staircase! But looking back wish we had taken some by the lake and the woodland area too! (Spoilt for choice so organise and meet before hand here with your photographer if you can)! Full English Breakfast was buffet style in the morning, all piping hot and lots of fruit and yoghurt, pastries etc for the kids too. Was lovely to sit in the main hall for brekkie the next day. All in all.. if you've made it this far Chicheley Hall team couldn't have done better on our Wedding day and the lead up. The team that work there work so hard and you can see it. They are like a second family to us now and love attending all their family fun days and open days! Sad to see Tamarin our Co ordinator move on to pastures new but we have met the new Wedding Co Ordinator recently and she is soooo enthusiastic and can see the excitement she has for the venue and couples booking just like we had to when planning our big day so know all future brides are in safe hands with her too. Great service, clean, tidy, kept to their word on refurbs etc, amazing food, and welcoming helpful staff all round.

Beautiful venue by the river, with comfortable bedrooms for the core group in the abbey, and plenty of extra accommodation in the on-site hotel. Really nice pub down the road for dinner the night before! during planning, Melissa was very friendly and organised, and answered all of our questions about the specifics. The food was all excellent and there was a good selection of options to choose from. The day went really smoothly!

We had our weddding here in the summer of 2004. Mrs McLeod Matthews is an amazing and down-to-earth lady and the historic and wonderful Elizabethan-era manor house of Chenies is her own family home. No mass produced or impersonal weddings here, such as in a chain hotel... We got to have the perfect sit-down afternoon tea reception with pimms and pink champagne on the lawn, and sandwiches and cakes in the orangery. The beauty of this venue is that you can hire your own caterers and so on, so no corkage! The garden is breathtaking - she does all the work with a few helpers! And a great location for wedding photos. It was a enchanting setting for a perfect day. We couldn't have chosen a more idyllic venue.

Our Wedding at Court Garden House was simply all that we could have asked for. We met with the Venue Manager Daniel who was quite simply outstanding. He could not do enough for us and made our day all that we had ever hoped for. The stunning location and relaxed service was all that we wanted :)
