A luxurious ceremony setting

Saying your ‘I do’s surrounded by the grandeur of Prestwold Hall’s historic Library creates an effortlessly luxurious wedding style. Create a modern, elegant feel with clear back chairs, foliage dressed chair backs and an aisle lined with twinkling candles. Nothing more is needed to bring a timelessly chic wedding vision to life.

Elegant wedding music

A luxurious wedding at Prestwold Hall deserves the perfect soundtrack. Book a string quarter or harpist to play as your guests wait for your arrival, or as background music to a sophisticated drinks reception.

A chic alfresco wedding

At Prestwold Hall you have the option of having both your ceremony and wedding party outdoors in the idyllic grounds. Add a touch of luxury to proceedings with gold chairs and statement floral displays for exchanging vows under our Georgian gazebo. Once the ceremony is over, we can create a luxe alfresco dining setting, filled with bold blooms and candlelight, for you and your guests.
