About Donnington Grove

Donnington Grove is a romantic manor-house wedding venue set within 500 acres of Berkshire parkland. Featuring a historic manor house, elegant reception rooms, lakeside views and beautifully appointed bedrooms, it offers a timeless backdrop for both intimate celebrations and larger weddings. With bespoke planning, exceptional hospitality and exclusive-use options, every wedding at Donnington Grove is designed to feel personal, refined and unforgettable.

At Donnington Grove, weddings are thoughtfully planned and carefully delivered by an experienced events team who support you from your first visit through to the wedding day itself. We pride ourselves on a calm, organised and flexible approach, allowing couples to shape a celebration that reflects their style, priorities and guest experience, rather than a one-size-fits-all package.

Set within 500 acres of Berkshire parkland, the historic manor house offers a selection of elegant reception spaces, lakeside views and beautifully appointed bedrooms, creating a relaxed yet refined setting for both intimate celebrations and larger weddings. Our flexible spaces allow for a seamless flow from ceremony to drinks reception, wedding breakfast and evening celebration, all within one beautiful location.

Donnington Grove is fully licensed for civil ceremonies and offers three characterful ceremony rooms, suitable for smaller gatherings as well as ceremonies of up to 100 guests. Each room benefits from natural light and views across the grounds and lakes, and can be styled to suit your vision.

With ample guest parking, on-site accommodation and the option for exclusive-use elements, Donnington Grove offers convenience without compromise. Above all, our focus is on warm hospitality, attention to detail and creating a wedding day that feels personal, unhurried and truly memorable.
