THE PREPARATIONS | 10:30am

Our Queen Elizabeth Chamber, provides the most picturesque setting to start your preparations. This timeless suite is complete with luxurious furniture, four poster bed and a wet room, along with far reaching views across the formal gardens. The private location within the house, makes it a magnificent place to sit back, sip on a glass of champagne and enjoy the start of your special day.

The Queen Elizabeth Chamber is filled with bright light and airy tones, which create such a serene and calming environment perfect for those all important preparation photos.

On the other side of the house, you will find the Blue Chamber, complete with its own wet room, snooker table, Chess board, wide screen TV and PlayStation. With a large corner sofa, it is another perfect location with views overlooking the stunning driveway making it possible to watch your guests arrive. The room itself has a relaxed environment perfect for pre ceremony preparation and where your immediate wedding party can enjoy beverages and snacks whilst creating an amazing back drop for your photos.

THE NUPTIALS | 2:00pm

Hengrave Hall offers many different options available for your ceremony. The Church of St John Lateran lies just a stones throw away from the main house and is available for Roman Catholic, Methodist and Baptist weddings. It can also play host to Church of England blessings (following a civil ceremony).

If you are looking to get married outside, we have the perfect ceremony area. With breath-taking views over the lake, you need look no further for the ceremony location of your dreams. We are able to host both civil ceremonies and blessings by the lake. For those wanting to make use of the hall itself, the spectacular Banqueting Hall is situated in the heart of the main house. With the grand entrance all the way down the wooden staircase, often adorned with stunning floral arrangements and a picturesque bay window. It is the ideal location for you to share your nuptials with your guests.

If you are looking for a more intimate affair, the Library and Dining Room are also licensed for Civil Ceremonies. All of our ceremony spaces have a capacity of 140 guests (excluding the Library and Dining Room).

It is the responsibility of the couple to contact the clergy and registrar to arrange the ceremony. For more information regarding ceremonies and legal requirements please speak to a member of our events team or visit Clergy details.

THE DRINKS RECEPTION | 3:00pm

With endless outside space our Wedding Venue Hengrave Hall offers something for everyone whatever the time of year. In the cooler, winter months, guests can be welcomed in to the warmth of the main house into one of our many reception rooms, with guests greeted with a seasonal mulled wine – the smell drifting through the Hall.

If the weather allows, the grandeur of the inner courtyard, offers an intimate space. Very popular with pre-ceremony drinks reception or a cocktail hour after the wedding breakfast before evening festivities kick off!

Our most popular space, our sun-kissed West Terrace, with immaculately mowed lawns. Is surrounded by the sweet smell of David Austin Roses and an abundance of Lavender, complete with a feature water fountain. The photo opportunities here for you and your guests are endless and many opt for their drinks reception to be held here. A selection of lawn games, are included and are a great way to entertain the variance of guests, whilst they mingle for drinks and canapés. This allows you both to sneak off for some photos, knowing your guests are being looked after and entertained.

THE WEDDING BREAKFAST | 4:30pm

For the wedding breakfast, the Long Gallery is a firm favourite for many guests, with its white wooden panelling and crystal chandeliers, the room offers the most wonderful space for you and your guests to enjoy a sumptuous wedding breakfast for up to 140 people.

If you are looking for a more intimate dining experience, then our Dining Room and Banqueting Hall can seat up to 50 people, so the choice really is yours. In addition, our courtyard in the centre of the house is a very popular location in the Summer months to play host to a wedding breakfast (please note a supplement fee is payable). It offers our couples the feel of a destination wedding but in the middle of the English countryside, a dream come true for many (of course we have the Long Gallery on stand by should the Great British weather not allow).
