About Hengrave Hall

This stunning Grade 1* listed Tudor mansion is situated within an impressive 350-acre estate and is an exclusive use wedding venue, which exudes historic charm. With 27 luxurious bedrooms onsite, its own idyllic church you need look no further.

Many of the ground floor rooms in the main house are licensed for Civil Ceremonies (up to 140 people), offering couples a choice of locations depending if it is a small intimate wedding or a large celebration and our experienced, award winning events team will be there to guide and recommend to couples visiting what will suit their requirements.
The sun-kissed West Terrace or the enclosed courtyard can accommodate your drinks reception, with the stunning Long Gallery beautifully equipped to host your wedding breakfast accommodating up to 140 guests for a sit-down wedding breakfast (the courtyard can also be used, weather dependant). Additional rooms include the Library, Oratory, Dining Room, Retiring Room and Children’s Playroom – so whether grand or intimate, Hengrave Hall offers a flexible and exclusive venue to suit. For couples wishing to get ready at Hengrave Hall there are two wonderful preparation rooms, both available on the morning of your special day. Our 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.

Hengrave Hall offers an enchanting experience whether a day guest or staying overnight. With 27 bedrooms on site and a nearby sister hotel on a short drive away All Saints Hotel with 41 en suite bedrooms, you will have no problem accommodating all your guests.

Hengrave Hall and the weddings team are both first class.

The venue is spectacular and very well maintained. The ladies in the office are all very knowledgeable, helpful and are quick to assist with any queries.

It is always a pleasure to visit Hengrave Hall (as we did many times in the run up to our big day), but nothing compares to your own wedding when it is exclusively yours and filled with all of your closest friends and family.

The only downside of having your wedding at Hengrave Hall is that you want to go back even when it’s over, but we hope that we will get to visit again soon!

My wife and I had the most amazing day at Hengrave Hall and could not have asked for a better experience! The staff were absolutely fantastic both during the build up to our wedding and on the wedding day itself. There were incredibly helpful and were prepared to do anything required to help my wife and I out which allowed us to enjoy our wedding day so much more. Hannah, Catriona and Shona certainly contributed to what was a perfect day.

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and whilst we were lucky enough to have great weather, many of our guests still enjoyed the fantastic rooms of the house as well as the West Terrace. Everyone was complimentary of the aesthetics and service provided and all guest rooms were maintained to an incredibly high level. The affiliation with Milsoms Hotels also meant that the food served was 5 stars with many guests declaring it the best food they have ever had at a wedding, something I would have to agree with even if I am a little bias.

I cannot recommend this venue enough to anyone looking to get married. All aspects of the service are 5 star and I really could not have asked for anything more from the team and the venue itself.
