However, once you step inside Stowe House you will not have to think about finding the perfect setting for your wedding…you will have found it… Stowe House is a 17th Century Ducal Palace and is unique in its grandeur and style. Holding no more than 15 weddings per year, the individuality and elegance of Stowe will provide the perfect setting you deserve on the most special day of your life. We offer a choice of breath-taking State Rooms and can help you to optimise the different spaces you select. Ceremonies and wedding breakfasts can be held in the Music Room, exquisitely decorated by Vincenzo Valdrè, or The Marble Saloon inspired by the Pantheon in Room. The State Dining Room whose natural lighting and intricate ceiling provide a stunning backdrop for a wedding breakfast and the Temple Room acts as a great dancing and bar area for your evening party with plenty of room for moonwalks and slow dances alike. For more intimate celebrations, the recently restored Blue Room and its distinct Damask Silk walls is an idyllic space for smaller wedding parties. Feel the elegance of days gone by as you walk through the magnificent floor to ceiling doors onto our South Portico. You and your guests can enjoy drinks and canapés on the South Portico, overlooking the Octagon Lake, Corinthian Arch and rolling Buckinghamshire countryside as far the eye can see. Gather all your friends and family on the steps leading down from the South Portico for a fantastic photo opportunity with the entirety of the House behind you all. Once on the grounds you and your guests can enjoy garden games, relax and enjoy the view or make use of the access to the National Trust grounds for photos. Most of the grounds were designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown and, to this day, they cement Stowe as the first and finest landscaped gardens in England. The House dates in parts from 1676. Following its extension, it became a popular aristocratic visiting place, culminating in the visit of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1845.

Stowe House Reviews (3) Write a review Magnify! Venue Service By Carine Bea, on 01 Nov 2018Date of Wedding - 26 Aug 2018 It's such a pleasure to photograph in this place! I did a wonderful wedding this year and the venue is absolutely perfect! Highly recommended!We were so pleased . . . and our guest loved it! Venue Service By Mr and Mrs Robinson, on 05 Apr 2012Working with Zest was smooth, easy, professional and friendly. We felt completely confident that the day would be a success. Zest used their experience of event management to guide our decisions and make suggestions which we very much appreciated. Many of our guests have commented about how impressed they were with the Zest staff during the day - they were discreet, smartly dressed, friendly, relaxed and had everything under control. We would be delighted to offer a verbal reference for our experience with Zest.What higher recommendation can we give . . . Venue Service By Sylvia and Roger, on 05 Apr 2012Having returned from holiday after hosting the wedding celebrations, we feel we would like to thank you so much for helping make the day perfect. The service you have given us has been first class from beginning to end. Your organisation of the whole event (marquee reception) from timings to delivery of meals was excellent. Each element was arranged to perfection from the welcome drinks and canapés through to the wedding breakfast and finishing with the hog roast. The quality of the food was superb. Many of the guests have told us that it was the best wedding they had ever attended. (Private Marquee reception July 2011).
