About Grittleton House

Grittleton House is a Grade II-listed country manor set in the Wiltshire countryside on the edge of the Cotswolds, approached by a private tree-lined drive and surrounded by formal gardens and grounds. Couples can hold their wedding celebrations within the house or across its various indoor and outdoor spaces.

Licensed rooms inside include multiple choices for civil ceremonies and dining, and in warmer months an outdoor ceremony can be held. Nearby St Mary the Virgin church in Grittleton village is accessible through a private gate for traditional weddings.

On the wedding day, the Drawing Room overlooks the main drive and is reserved for bridal or groom preparation. A bottle of fizz and refreshments are provided on the morning of the wedding. Civil ceremony licencing is in place for various spaces, with smaller rooms suited to about 50 guests and the Orangery capable of accommodating up to 400.

Seated dining is available across the Galleries and in the Orangery, with the Galleries seating up to 108–126 guests and the Orangery up to 168–200, depending on table style. If a wedding has a large guest list, multiple dining rooms can be used together. Minimum catering numbers apply: 80 adult day guests on Fridays and Saturdays, 50 on other days, with flexibility at off-peak times.

Accommodation for weddings includes ten luxury super-king bedrooms in the Main House, each with its own en-suite, plus 20 bedrooms in converted Victorian Stables on the grounds. All guests are welcome to stay, and breakfast in the Morning Room brings people back together after the event.

The Wedding party have access to the House from 9am on the day of the wedding, you can provide full set up instructions to our team, and they will have already set the rooms up for you. If we don’t have an event the previous day it may be possible to come in between noon & 4pm to add your finishing touches to the rooms. This is at the discretion of the management team.

The acoustics are amazing in the House so it is always a pleasure to have live music, whether it be to accompany your wedding ceremony or for your wedding party.

Due to the close proximity of the village, fireworks are only permitted if the wedding date is close to Bonfire weekend or New Year’s Eve. We hope you will understand that Chinese lanterns are not permitted under any circumstance, they present a hazard to the local farm livestock, and a fire hazard for the local environment.

Yes, both inside & out although it needs to be biodegradable please.

Yes, we love candles, as demonstrated by the number we have around the House. Common sense should be applied to candles i.e. they should be in suitable containers. Unfortunately lit candles cannot be placed on the floor, particularly down the aisle as they present a fire hazard but we allow LED/battery operated candles to be placed on the floor in votives.

We understand that your furry friend is important to you and where possible we will do our best to include them in your special day. Animals must not be left unattended and we ask that you make provision for them to be collected prior to the wedding breakfast. Animals are not permitted into the bedrooms, drawing room or dining rooms at any point during the day. Animals may not stay on-site overnight.

Yes, we have minimum catering numbers of 80 adult day guests on a Friday & Saturday & 50 adult day guests for the rest of the week. These numbers may be lowered by prior agreement at off peak times and late availability, this is at the discretion of the management team.
