Description

The church of St John Lateran, only a few steps away from the main house is available to couples wishing to get married within or have a blessing. For those balmy summer weddings, the lake offers the most breath-taking outside ceremony location! Couples also are able to choose from many of the ground floor rooms in the main house which are also licensed for Civil Ceremonies. With endless outside space, the formal gardens on the Sun kissed West Terrace boarded beautifully by the sumptuous, perfumed David Austin Roses, really is firm a favourite for a summer drinks reception. Complete with a selection of garden games to entertain your guests while you slip off to get the all-important photos! For the wedding breakfast, the Long Gallery with its white wooden paneling and crystal chandeliers offers the most versatile space for you to enjoy your wedding breakfast for up to 148 people. For couples wishing to get ready at Hengrave Hall there are two wonderful preparation rooms, both available on the morning of your special day. The Queen Elizabeth Suite is situated in a private part of the house, giving you complete privacy to prepare and our blue room comes equipped with Billiard table, flat screen TV and wet room to use in the morning. With 21 bedrooms exclusively yours for you and your guests why not extend the celebrations and enjoy a sumptuous breakfast altogether the morning after before the happy couple depart.

Everything we wanted
My husband and I chose Hengrave Hall because it ticked all of our boxes. Joint must have - Somewhere local for us? ✅ Bride’s must have - Somewhere with a church? ✅ Groom’s must have - Somewhere with a beautiful house for the reception? ✅ Once we visited, we knew it was the only place we wanted to get married. We waited patiently for the books for 2024 to open (we’d gone to view in 2021 and books opened in 2022) and literally booked our date the day we were able to. We cannot thank the staff enough for making the day run as smoothly as it did. They’re all so good at their jobs and were able to make everything feel stress-free and allow us to have the most amazing day possible. We had comments from guests about how slick the day felt and how well the staff accommodated everyone. Our day was perfect and Hengrave Hall made that all possible.

All my dreams come true 🥰
My partner and I got married this September and I cannot put into words how magical and beautiful Hengrave Hall is. The staff are unbelievable kind, professional, calm, supportive and accommodating in particular Jennie one of the wedding co-ordinators. She kept things calm when I had a bit of a moment and resolved all issues whilst being mindful of the high emotions on the day. As for the grounds they are exceptional and it’s mind blowing that only 2 grounds men keep the grounds so exquisite. Every single one of our guests said the grounds and garden and venue was so beautiful. I could not recommend more for a fairy tale princess wedding all my dreams have come true thanks to this beautiful place.

An unforgettable wedding experience
Hengrave Hall ticks all the boxes for a fairy tale wedding setting. The incredibly well-maintained building along with its gardens set the ideal scene. The staff are very helpful, responsive and organised. Overnight rooms are beautiful and provide a lot of capacity. The event flowed flawlessly and our guests had a fabulous time. Would certainly recommend to anyone considering it.

We are in love with our wedding day
Hengrave & Talbooth combined are a phenomenal duo that create a wedding day you can only dream of. From arrival to departure the service was attentive and seamless. The staff were always on hand working tirelessly in the background to make sure things go exactly as planned but they do it with finesse and stealth, they are everywhere but you wouldn’t know it, they make it look effortless. Big shout out to Izzy, Tom & Lauren who guided us through our day and were always on hand to assist. Extremely professional, friendly and well versed in managing a wedding day. It’s all the little things; escorting guests to their rooms, setting out the decorations you bring with you to the venue, managing your supply chain, holding your dress of the floor in the rain but crouching down so that they can’t be seen in the photos, holding your things during photos, making sure you have a glass of champagne and a canapé amongst all the meet and greets, guiding you to a quiet retreat so that the newly weds can get a couple of moments to them selves, making sure the microphones were in the correct hands at the correct times and jumping behind the bar when things get busy, the list goes on. As a Project Manager myself I find it very hard to relinquish control of any situation but these guys are something else! Masters in their field and not for one second did I need worry about a single thing. Prior to the wedding day Hengrave were always on hand to answer questions and welcomed us to the venue more than once so we could make our plans, and the meetings with Talbooth to plan the more finite details, including the food tasting will put your mind at ease. You will soon realise your wedding day is in very safe hands. We had 100 people at our Wedding Breakfast and the food was just superb! Cooked to perfection! Our guests were so complimentary. Not to mention that Hengrave, the grounds and their private chapel is just the most beautiful venue you could imagine. We highly recommend using Hengraves preferred supply chain, they know that venue like the back of their hand and you reap the benefits when it comes to your church service & photos etc. We cannot stop reliving every single moment, we are in awe with how absolutely perfect our day was, and we cannot say Thank You enough! I could go on and on but there is not enough words to express how absolutely fabulous this venue and their staff are! Thank you so much xx

The most beautiful wedding venue
We recently celebrated our wedding at Hengrave Hall, and it was an unforgettable experience. When we got engaged, Hengrave was the first, and ended up being the only venue we looked at, because when you know, you know! From the stunning grounds, the drive up, the beautiful main house and all of its character and not forgetting the beautifully intimate chapel all on one site, for me was a dream come true and provided a picturesque backdrop for our special day. It gives total castle / royalty vibes. Our guests were in awe about the venue and the exceptional service of food and drink provided by Milsom’s catering. The coordination between the staff ensured everything ran smoothly, from the ceremony to the reception. We felt cared for and valued as clients, and the dedication to making our day special was apparent especially with the rain! Hengrave Hall, thank you for making our wedding day so special and a memory we’ll hold deeply forever. You were a dream. We’ll be back again to see you soon.

A sanctuary where dreams are brought to life
As a bride, my experience at Hengrave Hall was nothing short of a fairytale come true. From the moment we stepped onto the grounds, we were swept away by the enchanting beauty and timeless elegance of this stunning venue. The entire process was seamless and stress-free, allowing us to focus on the joy and excitement of our special day. The staff at Hengrave Hall were flawless, attending to every detail with grace and expertise all without even being seen. From coordinating vendors to ensuring every aspect of the ceremony and reception was flawless, they went above and beyond to make our wedding dreams a reality. But it wasn't just the efficiency of the staff that impressed me—it was their genuine care and dedication that truly stood out, they even adjusted the train of my dress just before I walked down the aisle - its attention to the little details that can make the most difference. They took the time to understand my vision and preferences, offering invaluable advice and support every step of the way. Their passion for their work shone through in every interaction, making me feel like the most important bride in the world. And then there's the venue itself—a breathtaking blend of historic grandeur and natural beauty. From the majestic Great Hall to the enchanting gardens, every inch of Hengrave Hall exudes romance and charm. It provided the perfect backdrop for the most magical day of our lives, and we will forever cherish the memories created within its walls. In short, Hengrave Hall exceeded all my expectations and then some. It's more than just a venue—it's a sanctuary where dreams are brought to life and love stories unfold. To any bride-to-be searching for the perfect wedding venue, look no further than Hengrave Hall. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

We feel so privileged to have been able to have our wedding at this beautiful venue. The whole process from start to finish has been stress free.
