Prestwold Hall, Leicestershire
If you’re dreaming of a venue dripping in period charm, Prestwold Hall is the ultimate choice. This Grade I listed stately home is a masterpiece of stunning interiors, from intricate chandeliers and grand fireplaces to ornate cornicing that frames every room beautifully. The Library, with its rich wood panelling, provides a sophisticated yet intimate space for your ceremony, while the Dining Room’s opulent decor and large windows create a perfect canvas for timeless floral arrangements and elegant tablescapes. With exclusive use of the Hall, you can style each space to reflect your personality while preserving its old-world grandeur.
Hampton Manor, West Midlands
For couples who adore natural light, Hampton Manor is a dream. Every corner of this stunning estate is flooded with soft, golden light, making it a photographer’s paradise. Whether you're exchanging vows in the airy Birches with its floor-to-ceiling windows or hosting a candlelit dinner in the beautifully restored Dining Room, the interplay of light and texture here is something truly special. Add soft drapery, delicate floral installations, and warm, neutral tones to enhance the venue’s effortless elegance. The Michelin-starred cuisine is just the icing on the (wedding) cake!
Shottle Hall, Derbyshire
Shottle Hall offers a delightful blend of Victorian charm and homey intimacy, perfect for those seeking a warm, inviting atmosphere. The rooms may be small in scale, but they are beautifully formed—each filled with character and charm, ideal for styling with wildflower arrangements, vintage decor, or romantic candlelight. The Orangery, with its soft neutral tones and large windows, provides a light and airy setting, while the Coach House Marquee offers a blank canvas for couples wanting to add their own creative flair. At Shottle Hall, your wedding will feel as personal as it is picturesque.
Norwood Park, Nottinghamshire
Few venues capture the grandeur of a classic English country house like Norwood Park. The moment you step through the doors, you’re met with sweeping staircases, high ceilings, and elegant period furnishings that make for the most breathtaking wedding backdrop. The Drawing Room, with its regal decor and oversized windows, is perfect for a sophisticated ceremony, while the Gallery is an opulent space that lends itself to candlelit banquets and lavish floral centrepieces. The sheer scale and splendour of Norwood Park make it the ultimate venue for a showstopping wedding.
