Previous weddings held at Blenheim Palace have seen the bride and groom arrive by helicopter to be greeted by ornate receptions featuring everything from caviar stations to oyster shuckers! Famous chefs have not only been on hand to work with the in-house catering team to create bespoke menus, but have also come out of the kitchen to meet and greet guests. Superstar performers like Billy Joel and Jack Savoretti and celebrity hosts like Hugh Jackman have also helped ensure the guests are thoroughly entertained. Finally, the evening’s festivities can be rounded off with spectacular firework finales set against the beautiful backdrop of the Park.Â
