The entire venue is exclusively yours for your special day and provides the perfect setting for your photographs.
Included FREE is your own large, delightful Bride's Room (with facilities). Make a dramatic entrance, down the sweeping staircase, to the galleried Grand Hall for the Civil Ceremony.
View our stylish wedding gazebo with its double-tiered cedar roof, set against the backdrop of our lovingly tendered Rose Garden – a true English country garden wedding!

We are pleased to announce that we have introduced a video viewing service (due to the current temporary COVID-19 crisis with its measures of social distancing and essential travel only) via your choice of WhatsApp, FaceTime or ZOOM, where we will walk and talk you through your Big Day at our beautiful venue and answer any questions you have. We will then follow this up with an emailed tailored quotation.
Online tailored quotations are also available via our website www.thelawn.co.uk/enquiries.

- JJim and Vicky Thornton03/10/2016Perfect DayPerfect DayWe had our wedding at The Lawn last Sunday 22 April and it was a perfect day in every way. We had been planning our wedding for a year and the staff at The Lawn were absolutely amazing. They helped with every little detail. If you are having a wedding, The Lawn should be top of the list – it’s beautiful – everyone commented on the venue, the food and the service. The stress was taken away by the hard work they do. Special thanks to David and Amanda for ensuring that everything ran smoothly before and on the day.

- LLisa and Dany Coxall03/10/2016Fantastic dayFantastic dayWe got married yesterday at The Lawn. We cannot recommend the venue and the Team enough. They were fantastic from the very first meeting to the actual wedding day. David and Andrew were so helpful in giving advice from booking the venue to the actual day. The other staff were fab too - nothing was too much trouble. I'm an anxious person, but everyone made me feel at ease. The day flowed beautifully. All of our guests were so impressed and have been commenting on how well it went and how delicious the food was. We would 100% say to anyone considering The Lawn to book it for their special day.

- TTania and Christopher Blackburn03/10/2016The most amazing day of our livesThe most amazing day of our livesThe most amazing day of our lives was here on the 9th February 2019. From the moment we walked in for a look around, we just knew this was where we wanted to get married. We did not have much time to prepare and I didn't think we could pull it off but everyone who works at The Lawn is so helpful and nothing was too much for them. All our guests commented about the most wonderful food and drink, the recommended DJ and well, just absolutely everything. We didn't want the day to end and we wish we could do it all over again.The most amazing day of our lives was here on the 9th February 2019.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs
Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
With twenty seven years’ worth of weddings behind us, selecting just one of them for that accolade is nigh on impossible. There have been so many weddings at The Lawn that have been truly memorable for all the right reasons.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
It is all about the Bride & Groom celebrating their wedding and not all about the guests. It is a Big Day but should also be a fun day and not a day spent worrying that every last guest has received the right personalised favour. Relax, enjoy and you will find that your guests will too!
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
Often a couple will have a very special, furry friend who they want to have with them to really make the day complete. Whether a dog playing a key role during the ceremony or a horse joining the couple for photos during the drinks reception, we like our couples to want for nothing on their wedding day.
Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.
Romantic (it has been selected as one of the top ten most romantic venues in the country).
Exclusive (we will only ever host one wedding at a time).
Welcoming (it retains the character and warmth of the Manor House home that it once was).
Idyllic (set in three acres of landscaped gardens with 120 acres of parkland).
Memorable (our couples and their guests often speak fondly about and recommend our venue for years after the wedding day).
Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?
Too many to list. Our wedding photographers love this venue as they have the run of the house with it’s sweeping staircase, galleried hall and full length balcony along with its stunning gardens, fountain and expansive lawns. It really is one big photographic backdrop!
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?
Numerous famous guests, including a England Rugby Captain, a leading Formula One driver, a certain very well known Radio 2 day time presenter and a wedding for an silver medal winning Olympic rower.
What’s your favourite canapé?
The Thai fish ball is to die for.
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
Bacon butties all round!
What is your venue's most unique feature?
It may sound strange but it would be its ‘feel’. Almost to a couple, our Brides & Grooms develop a special bond with The Lawn and comment how relaxed and at home they feel. It is a very special place.
What part of your business are you most proud of?
It has to be the people that make it all possible - from the Wedding side through to the garden, maintenance and Estate teams. It is a family run business and many comment the staff is like a large family as well. This is reflected in the atmosphere of calm and friendly professionalism that such a team creates.
Our events team pull out all the stops for their clients. It is not just about selling and all the team members, including the owner, that conduct the viewings would also be involved in the planning and the management on the day. The majority of the team have been here for over ten years and have literally thousands of weddings’ worth of experience. Everything just flows. They are the best!
