Every detail was handled with such grace and elegance. The staff anticipated our every need — we didn't have a single worry on our wedding day. The estate looked like something out of a fairytale.

We were a bit nervous booking a venue 18 months in advance, but the client portal made planning genuinely enjoyable. The seating chart tool alone saved us days of spreadsheet headaches.

After it rained on our wedding morning, we were heartbroken — until the team transformed the Conservatory into something even more beautiful than the garden would have been. Breathtaking.

The venue hire fee includes exclusive use of the estate from 8am to midnight, all indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces, the bridal suite, dedicated on-site event coordinator, full AV system, tables and chairs, and our standard furniture layout. Catering, florals, and additional services are quoted separately.
A 30% deposit is required to secure your date. A second payment of 40% is due 6 months prior to your wedding, with the remaining 30% due 30 days before. All payments are processed securely through our Stripe-powered portal and receipts are issued automatically.
We work with a curated list of preferred caterers who know the estate's kitchen and service requirements well. You are welcome to use external caterers subject to approval and a facilities fee. We do not permit external bar teams — our licensed bar team is required for all alcohol service on the estate.
Every event has a detailed inclement weather plan prepared in advance. Our Grand Conservatory is a fully beautiful, equally stunning alternative to all outdoor spaces. We assess the weather forecast at 8am on your wedding day and activate the backup plan immediately if needed — at absolutely no additional cost to you.
