Description

An enchanting country estate and family residence, Davenport House is exclusively yours on your special day. Set amidst picturesque Shropshire countryside, this idyllic Georgian house was extensively refurbished in 2017. Now you can step inside this magical venue and make yourself at home, celebrating your wedding day surrounded by its history, warmth and elegance. Entering this great house through the magnificent double doors, you might choose to say ‘I do’ in The Great Hall. Brimming with character, this is the very heart of the home and the perfect place in which to say your vows. Alternatively, marry in another of the great rooms, or between the pillars on the front steps of Davenport House for a truly unique setting. The Great Hall leads through to the beautiful Saloon with its marquetry floor. It is here that you might enjoy welcome drinks and canapés along with breathtaking views over the lawns beyond. Outside, the terrace, lily pond and secluded secret garden provide a sublime setting in which to mingle with a glass of fizz on warmer days. The Drawing Room lures your guests in to dine, with original panelling painted in elegant ‘tea green’. The specialist on-site wedding event planners and expert caterers will work closely with you to help create the most spectacular day, complete with stunning wedding food and drink. As day turns to evening, The Great Hall becomes your dance floor, while guests might also choose to relax in The Saloon or The Drawing Room. Six luxurious en-suite bedrooms, a further 3 double bedrooms including a plush honeymoon suite and impressive breakfast area, are located in the main house, while four cottages in the grounds offer self-catering accommodation. A further cottage, The Stable, is offered as your bridal preparation area. From intimate to lavish, and from contemporary style to the more traditional, Davenport House is your country estate that can make your dream wedding a reality.

10/10
Staff and service - In the UK, this is usually something that is average at best - if you're lucky. At Davenport House, the service from all staff was 10/10. I honestly don't think we've ever had better service for anything. We had a wedding planner from the start (Megan), who was an absolute saint and was fundamental in making the whole wedding a success. She was also instrumental in helping us find a way for our 'little' dog Bernie to be a part of the main event. Thanks Megan!

Attention to detail
Held our wedding at Davenport House in June, such a wonderful day, the staff were incredible from the point of first visit all the way to waving us off the morning after. The attention to detail was very impressive, food was absolutely delicious, the chef helped us build our own menu for no extra cost, the house and bedrooms are so beautiful too. The staff also did a lot of the decoration for us which took the pressure off as we didn't have a florist.

Where to begin
Where to begin with our beautiful venue and thanking the people who made it all happen! We got married in November at Davenport House and it was easily the best day of our lives. We chose Davenport because we wanted to host our cosy winter wedding in a big grand house in the country, with all the grandeur and class but to still feel like an intimate celebration with our family and closest friends, and it was perfect in delivering just that.

Pulled out all the stops!
We got married at Davenport House in March this year and the Davenport team pulled out all the stops to ensure we had the most magical day. The whole day was absolutely seamless and the staff were excellent. Megan, our wedding coordinator made everything look effortless and gave us full confidence that everything was in hand all day and into the night. We are now 6 months into our marriage and our wedding guests still comment on how special and fantastic our wedding was. Thank you so much to eve

The most incredible wedding venue
The most incredible wedding venue. Megan, Lizzie, Charley and the whole team at Davenport House are the most welcoming, warm and helpful people you will ever meet. No task is too big for them (even moving your whole ceremony outside an hour before guests arrived!) Not only that, the house itself and the ground are unreal! You feel transported back in time and on your wedding day it really feels like the house is yours. All of our guests commented on how stunning the venue is. The food is also ri

Spectacular Venue
Spectacular venue for our wedding - we lost count of the amount of guests that complimented Davenport House which we were amazed by from the very first viewing! It's hard to describe but we felt emotional just stepping into the house. There are so many picturesque parts of the venue guaranteeing some memorable photos and memories.

Wedding planner extraordinaire
Special shout out to Megan - wedding planner extraordinaire who kept in touch throughout the planning process and was exceptional on the day. Ian who worked tirelessly to ensure the day ran smoothly and the food was perfect, Charley who was also in charge of one bride and ensuring that everything was on point. All the staff were fantastic - polite, professional and personal. Everyone keeps saying that this was the best wedding they have ever attended and that’s a lot of weddings between people!

Get married here!
We had the most perfect wedding day here at Davenport. We had been to see other venues but they weren’t quite right however as soon as we saw Davenport we fell in love and when we were informed on what we got for the day, we knew this was the place for us. Megan - our wedding planner - was exceptional. From leading up to the day, to on the day, she made sure everything ran smoothly therefore we had no worries. The other staff were also seamless and professional!

We didn't have to think about a thing
I just wanted to write to say a huge, enormous thank you to Charley and all the team at Davenport House. We still can’t believe how perfect our day was, and lots of our guests have told us it’s the best wedding they’ve ever been to. The team were all a huge part of making that happen. It was incredibly seamless and well planned on the day, meaning we genuinely didn’t have to think about a thing, except for enjoying ourselves

Spectacular!
Well I don’t even know where to start. There is not one bad thing I could say about this venue. Spectacular, amazing view & perfect. If you are thinking of this wedding venue any of the wedding planners are amazing but I would like to give a special shout out to Charley (ask for Charley she is a dream to work with). I imagine I was probably one of their most craziest of brides and definitely kept everyone on their toes.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Davenport House?

All of them!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Ask as many questions as you need. Feeling comfortable on the day is one of the most important, and often most overlooked, parts of your day. So don't be afraid to ask questions! If you're worried about anything then we are here to help and we would much rather ease any concerns you have than have you stressed on the day!

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

It is always lovely to see couples paying tribute to their parent's weddings. For example, a part of the mother of the bride's dress reused, or the jewellery. I had a groom who wore his father cufflinks and it really spurred quite an emotional reaction, it's such a small gesture but so meaningful!
