We love weddings.

The flowers. The finery. The gathering of families and old friends. The emotion of the ceremony, the clinking of champagne glasses, the speeches that run a little too long, and the dancing that carries on rather later than planned.

Above all, we love that no two weddings are ever quite the same.

At Dudmore Lodge, we offer a beautiful country house and grounds in which to create a celebration that is entirely your own, from an intimate wedding surrounded by those closest to you to a magnificent gathering of up to 200 guests.

And there is beauty here in every season.

A spring wedding filled with blossom and new beginnings. A glorious summer celebration spilling out into the gardens. Autumn, when the countryside turns burnished gold. Or winter, when candlelight, flowers, music and a house filled with people you love create a magic all of their own.

The possibilities are wonderfully open.

Exchange vows in an intimate setting, raise a glass in the gardens, create something spectacular beneath a beautifully dressed marquee, gather around long tables for dinner, bring in the band, invite the DJ to take over afterwards — and dance until the evening becomes one of those nights nobody quite wants to end.

We can help arrange as much or as little as you wish, from private chefs, florists and décor to marquees, live bands, DJs, entertainment, MCs and officiants. The details may be ours to help with; the character of the celebration will always be yours.

And there is no need to hurry away.

Make Dudmore Lodge your own for a little while. Arrive before the celebrations begin. Wake here on your wedding morning. Fill the house with the people closest to you. And when it is all over, stay long enough to relive the stories, the laughter and all those little moments.

Because a wedding should be more than a day beautifully arranged. It should feel like the beginning of a story you will want to tell forever.

PS: Wedding and wedding party stays are individually arranged and subject to separate rates from our standard leisure stays.
