About Westonbirt House
Arriving along the sweeping drive, Westonbirt House comes into view. A truly stunning wedding venue in a very special setting. Steeped in history the house, landscaped gardens and surrounding parkland, are the perfect place to create your perfect wedding day. Whether an intimate ceremony with a handful of special guests, a warm celebration around the hearth or an exquisite wedding breakfast and party in The Great Hall, Westonbirt House offers a range of options to tailor your wedding day.
On the day you'll have the exclusive use of the state rooms on the ground floor at Westonbirt House, as well as the landscaped gardens and the rest of the Westonbirt House estate. And you'll be closely and discretely looked after by David and his team.
Whether you are planning a summer wedding where guests spill out onto the Terraces and into the Italian Garden, wander the grounds and take in the lake, or a winter wedding where you gather with your guests around the open fire, kick back on the sofas and take in the estate from the warmth of the state rooms, Westonbirt House offers a world of possibility. And with a choice of places licensed to host your ceremony, your day can begin and end at Westonbirt House. The Library is licensed for 130 guests, the Great Hall for 160. Across the wider estate, ceremonies can been held outside on the Terraces, in the Italian Garden, in an intimate location overlooking the ha-ha or beside the lake.
Without doubt, the gardens, grounds and architectural backdrops are the most perfect settings to stage your individual and group wedding photographs.
Alongside David and his event management team, Westonbirt House has an experienced in-house catering team on hand to design and deliver your wedding breakfast, and an important part of your wedding preparation is joining us for food and wine tasting before finalising the menu for your guests.
We look forward to welcoming you to Westonbirt House, for your bespoke wedding in the heart of the Cotswold countryside.
