Alternatively, marry in another of the great rooms, or between the pillars on the front steps of Davenport House.
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 on warmer days.
Luring your guests in to dine, The Drawing Room features original panelling painted in elegant ‘tea green’. And, 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.
