Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples
It is a strong fit for couples who want a whole estate to themselves and a choice of ceremony spaces. Exclusive use means you set the tone and the guest list without sharing the house, and the range of rooms lets you match the space to the size of your day, from a small gathering to a large party.
Ceremonies
There are four ceremony spaces. The Shakespeare Lounge is a historic room with bay windows over the lawns and suits up to 40 guests. The Dunstanville Suite holds up to 110 and has a terrace over the wooded valley. Bybrook has oak beams, chandeliers and lead glass windows, and it is available with exclusive use of the house. The Wedding Pavilion is a Victorian pavilion for outdoor ceremonies of up to 150 guests, available all year and subject to weather.
Receptions and food
The Dunstanville Suite and Bybrook each hold up to 150 guests for the wedding breakfast and reception, and the Shakespeare Lounge holds up to 40. The hotel provides the dinner, the evening buffet and a breakfast the morning after. A wedding experience weekend is listed on the venue site.
