Offley Place Country House Full Description
Offley Place is where the past and the present come together in perfect harmony. This 17th Century Manor House has been lovingly restored to its former glory to create the perfect location for any wedding day. The traditional, grand features and charm of the original Manor House are elegantly complemented with the newer additions of The Conservatory and the magnificent Hester Ballroom. The two new additions echo the classic elegance of the house with a glass structure and impressive chandeliers that offer the perfect setting to dance the night away. We are a dry hire venue meaning you have free range to choose each and every one of your suppliers so that you can create a truly unique wedding tailored to your wishes!

Thank you Charlotte and Team
We had the best day ever and all our guests loved the venue and it's gorgeous grounds. The bridal suite was just the perfect spot for me to get ready in with all my family and bridesmaids around me. We were able to really create the best memories. Charlotte you were awesome in helping us navigate around planning the wedding. Your attention to detail and ability to problem solve are very commendable! We and our guests also absolutely loved all the bedrooms and our breakfast was really delicious!

The wedding venue of my dreams!
We had our wedding at Offley Place in September 2022, and it was our absolute dream venue. It ticked all of the boxes for us. From the stunning outdoor lawn and fields, to the beautiful ballroom, conservatory, and hotel rooms, it was perfection. The staff were all incredible to deal with. So helpful and efficient, nothing was too much trouble. Offley Place made our wedding feel so special and we feel so grateful to have gotten married there!

Perfect wedding venue for us
We had the pleasure of having our wedding at Offley Place in August 2022. The venue was beautiful and we had many compliments from our guests. Nazlee worked with us from the first viewing to the wedding day. She was always accommodating to our needs and helped us with all of our questions. We used the dry hire option and it worked very well for us. The rooms were amazing and the staff were always helpful. We would recommend the venue to anyone wanting a county house style wedding.

Thank you
We wanted to say thank you to you and your team for making Carolyn and Steve’s wedding on 3rd October such a wonderful occasion. The whole day was thoroughly enjoyed by our families and friends and compliments have been flooding in about the venue, the food and the service. Your chef is brilliant to be able to produce and serve so many meals so perfectly, for it to be perfectly cooked and virtually served to all guests at the same time, was remarked upon by many of our guests. Well done and thank you to everyone who helped make the day so magical, your staff are lovely, and very efficient , well done!!

Our Perfect Day At The Perfect Venue
We married at Offley Place on the 17th October 2021. As with many weddings during this tough time, we had initially planned to wed in March 2021 however was forced to postpone as a result of the lockdown. Despite this being such a difficult time, Nazlee was super supportive throughout the whole process and was patient and helpful with us rebooking our date. A week on after finally marrying and we are still reliving the perfect day and could not have been more thankful with our supplier choices, especially Offley Place! The venue is a truly beautiful blank canvas that allowed me to bring my rustic vision to life. No request was too much and all my questions (which were A LOT) were always answered. Our guests absolutely loved the venue and our suppliers were impressed with the ease of it all. An added bonus was having our nearest and dearest stay with us overnight. It truly felt like we had become lord and lady of the house for the night and waking up to our family over a lovely private breakfast was the icing on the cake as they say. So if you are looking for a venue with stunning grounds and a luxury touch yet with a homely feel, then I would recommend Offley Place with no hesitation! Thank you so much to Nazlee and the team for your support and kindness in making our day so perfect!
