Prestwold Hall

WEDDINGS – ‘YOUR DAY, YOUR WAY’

Prestwold Hall is only available for exclusive hire, which guarantees your seclusion and privacy. A setting that will make you feel like you are marrying ‘At Home, at Prestwold Hall’. You and your guests are encouraged to relax from the moment you arrive. 

No two weddings are the same and each is as unique as the couple at the heart of it. Choosing Prestwold Hall as your wedding venue will see your unique personalities reflected at every turn, from the fresh flowers and decorations, to the drinks, menus and music. It’s your celebration, so you lead the way. Each and every one of the  weddings we host are bespoke and customised to your personal taste. 

We offer a limited number of dates to couples who wish to celebrate over a longer period with our ‘Deluxe Weekend Celebration’ (please ask for further details and a bespoke quote).

And, as for the ceremony, there are three locations to choose from —in the House, outside in the Georgian Gazebo or in our Church. Whichever you decide to choose, the elegant rooms and  rose garden will provide a distinctive backdrop to your wedding
