The Details

With palatial architecture and a magnificent landscape, Ashridge House is an award-winning venue steeped in history and character. The perfect place for your enchanting wedding day filled with fairy-tale romance. With excellent transport links and only thirty minutes from London, it’s an idyllic countryside venue with historic charm.

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.
