About this space

A marquee in the garden of a historic manor house is a wonderfully romantic setting for your wedding breakfast. It can comfortably accommodate a sit-down meal up to 240 guests.

We do not hold two marquee wedding receptions on the same weekend, so you can decorate and personalise the custom-built marquee the day before to make it truly yours.

The gardens and the backdrop of the house make the perfect setting for your wedding photographs. You and your guests are free to explore the walled gardens, pergola and terraced herb garden.

You can hold the ceremony inside the beautiful 18th Century Orangery with its Cotswold stone roof and huge arch windows. The Orangery can seat 40 inside. Any additional guests can watch and listen to the short ceremony from outside on the lawn.

If there is a risk of showers, the marquee company can erect a large awning on the lawn so your guests can enjoy the glorious gardens without getting wet.
