The Perfect Wedding Venue

Exploring hotel wedding venues for your special day? Hand Picked Hotels has a range of stunning properties to match your theme. From the grand Ettington Park in the countryside surrounding Stratford-upon-Avon to 13th Century New Hall just outside Birmingham, which has a moat and once hosted Tudor royalty - there’s something for everyone. 

Each of our country house hotel wedding venues has a dedicated wedding team who will collaborate with you to tailor-make your dream wedding day, whether it’s an intimate celebration with an exclusive guest list, or an extravagant, all-singing, all-dancing event, taking complete exclusive use of the venue. Create your wedding your way.

If you are seeking a wedding venue with beautiful outdoor spaces to hold your wedding ceremony you will be spoilt for choice. Take the striking Yorkshire countryside as your backdrop with an outdoor ceremony at Wood Hall in West Yorkshire or Crathorne Hall in North Yorkshire. Or say your vows in a quaint gazebo perfectly set on lush green lawns with views of the Kentish countryside at Chilston Park.

Not only are our outdoor spaces made for a dreamy ceremony, but they also provide the perfect canvas for reception drinks. Our hotel teams love to create pop up gin bars, Prosecco carts and cocktail stations within the gardens for you and your guests to enjoy in the sunshine. 

If outdoor isn’t what you have in mind that’s not a problem. In fact, you could argue that our wedding venues are even more beautiful on the inside. For example, the Grand Hall at Rhinefield House will have you and your guests feeling as though you have stepped into a fairy tale. And for those picturing a chapel service the Callow Great Hall at Stanbrook Abbey is nothing short of breathtaking. You have to see it for yourself!

Hotel Weddings

Holding your wedding at a hotel wedding venue offers you and your guests so much more than other venues. Whether you’re looking for excellent spa facilities so you can unwind before, or after, the big day, or award-winning restaurants where you can savour your first meal as newlyweds, you’ll find the perfect wedding venue at Hand Picked Hotels. 

Another added benefit of hotel wedding venues is that they offer a wedding venue with accommodation just a stone’s throw away, ready and waiting for once the celebrating has come to an end. Plenty of bedrooms within each of our venues means that you and your guests can all stay the night and even reflect on your day the next morning over breakfast. 

At Bailbrook House you will find unique bedrooms and suites to choose from, all showing off incredible original features and plenty of luxurious touches. Fawsley Hall boasts a dedicated venue, Knightley Court, which offers indoor and outdoor spaces as well as bedrooms and a cinema room! These really are some of the best hotel wedding venues that the country has to offer.

Luxury Wedding Venues

Within our collection are some of the top luxury wedding venues in the UK ranging from country house hotel wedding venues to island resort hotels in the Channel Islands. Each of our unique venues pride themselves on the excellent service that every member of staff is committed to delivering on your wedding day. 

Most of our wedding venues book only one wedding a day so you can be sure all attention will be on you and your guests. For those who are seeking that extra level of exclusivity you can take over the wedding venue entirely for the duration of your wedding. This means that nobody outside of your guestlist will be on site, other than our staff of course. We recommend taking exclusive use over a period of a few days, so you and your guests can get together pre-wedding as well as revel in the post-wedding joy. Our Wedding Coordinators are on hand to put together itineraries should you want to discover the local attractions during your stay. 

We know how important it is to have a knock out wedding menu which is why we spend time with you to create it. We invite you to meet with the Head Chef to discuss your ideas and sample your dishes, so you can be sure that on the day everything is exactly to your taste. 

Wedding Packages

Whilst our Wedding Coordinators are happy to help you bring your ideas to life and create a bespoke wedding day plan just for you we also have a selection of wedding packages for couples to make use of. Our wedding packages have been designed to give you every part of your day and include aspects such as room hire, reception drinks and your wedding meal. Most also include the best suite in the house for the happy couple. 

Planning a wedding can be a daunting task so our hotel wedding packages are there to help give you an idea of where to start. You can head directly to each venue’s packages here.

Dog-Friendly Wedding Venues

If your four-legged friends have an important role to play in your ceremony, Hand Picked Hotels has plenty of accommodating properties. Many are dog friendly wedding venues, meaning your pups will be able to join in on the celebrations. Rookery Hall is an ideal option, as your pampered pooch(es) will be welcome to join you at this luxe country house hotel and spa. It’s situated in the heart of Cheshire’s countryside, so there’s plenty of green space for them to explore too.
