designed your way
We understand that no two weddings are the same, so we have developed an extremely flexible approach to wedding coordination. All of our wedding packages can be tailored to suit each couple’s individual needs and preferences.
We’ve had owls deliver the wedding rings, cakes cut with axes, and a Toy Story inspired nerf gun competition take place in the Old Library, so we are certainly no strangers to bringing unique requests to life.
Rooms built to impress
Ashridge House hosts up to 180 guests for your ceremony and dining across beautiful heritage function spaces perfect for each element of your wedding. Your guests will be continually wowed by their spectacular surroundings.
Every room has its own distinct personality from the palatial marble fireplaces and opulent gold leaf adorned ceilings of the Lady Marian Alford Room to the original Austrian wood panelling of the Wyatt Room. All function spaces interconnect so your guests can move easily between the rooms creating a natural flow to your day.
A meal to remember
Our passion for fine dining has earned us an unrivalled reputation for using the very finest produce to create innovative and sumptuous wedding menus. Local farms have supplied the Ashridge kitchens with seasonal produce for centuries, and we take care to source all our ingredients from sustainable suppliers.
Our dining is consistently top rated among couples who choose Ashridge House, and our talented team create a choice of delicious and innovative fine dining menus to make your special day an unforgettably delicious one too. We have a selection of fine wines and bubbles to celebrate your day.
