Full Description
- Holdenby House would love to accompany you on your journey, using our expertise to make your special day, not just the first, but the best day of the rest of your life! Sitting in a 20 acre Grade I Garden overlooking 2,000 acres of stunning countryside, Holdenby is a unique and special place. Built to entertain Queen Elizabeth 1st, its interconnecting staterooms are beautiful and elegant. As well as our staterooms, our private White Room and Bathroom will be exclusively yours for the day ( with a complimentary bottle of our own Holdenby Champagne ) and we’ll even put your favourite photographs in our frames to make it feel like you’ve lived at Holdenby forever! We’d love to welcome you here to meet the team and see the house and grounds in person. Please just give us a call to arrange a suitable time. Should you decide to hold your wedding at Holdenby, you’ll receive our Little Black Book of hand-picked suppliers and be invited back to make use of our Concierge Service to help you plan your whole marvellous day. Our caterers will also invite you along to discuss your ideas for food and drink or to come up with their own. Head chef, Anthony, has plenty of these. From the kitchens of the Savoy, Dorchester and France’s famous, Hotel du Cap, he’s ready and waiting to prepare your wedding feast!

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
All of our weddings have been so different and amazing but one that stands out was a wedding based on the brides love of books. It was absolutely incredible and made our library such an intimate part of their day. Holdenby lends itself so well to all styles and the staff worked tirelessly to make sure each day comes alive.
What’s your #1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Make sure you have 10 minutes to yourselves! Sneak away into our gardens for that secret moment and enjoy the fact that you have just married your best friend. Your guests will be enjoying themselves so this moment is just for the two of you.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
We have had so many lovely personal touches but one of our favourites was personalised Christmas cards for each of their guests from one of our incredible winter weddings.

Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?
Holdenby is a photographers dream. Both the gardens and house lend themselves for the most magical photos. In the winter Holdenby hosts a wonderful crisp feel, from the trees to the fires in the library and in the spring and summer you are swept away to the gardens and open grounds that soak up the summer sun.
What is your venue's most unique feature?
We work incredibly hard to make sure Holdenby feels like your home for the day. We collect food from our own garden to go into your wedding meal so you can share a piece of Holdenby with all of your guests. We also have photo frames for you to fill with your own family pictures for us to place around the house.
What part of your business are you most proud of?
Holdenby has an excellent team. We work tirelessly to make sure your day is truly yours.
