We only hold one wedding per day and you will have exclusive use of your wedding areas.  On occasions we may have the need to show prospective clients, these visits will be discreet and prior to your wedding guests arriving for a ceremony.  All meetings are scheduled.

Yes, these are all included within the venue hire price. We provide plain white tablecloths, white tableware and crockery & chrome cutlery, if you would like something different you are very welcome to hire this in.

There is a selection of silk flowers around the house, these are all in neutral tones, to suit any colour palette.

Your furry friends are very welcome to join you for the ceremony and for photos, so we ask that they are collected prior to the wedding breakfast.  Dogs are not permitted in the Drawing Room or any dining areas.

We have 2 pet friendly bedrooms in the Stables, contact us for more information.

We have curated a list of recommended suppliers who have worked at Grittleton House previously and who we and our couples have found to be excellent. This is a great place to start the planning process, you do not have to use these suppliers and we are happy to welcome new faces.

We ask people to be respectful of our House & appreciate it is Grade 2 listed, please do not stick anything to the walls or floors, if you are unsure, please ask.  Candles are permitted on mantlepieces and tables but must be in suitable holders.  Real candles are not permitted along the aisle or on floors, there are many great safe alternatives.

We offer a choice of dining rooms of varying sizes.  The Galleries each have a maximum capacity 108 – 126 depending on table styles (long or round).  The orangery can seat a maximum of 168-200 depending on table styles (long or round).  All rooms can also be set up for more intimate styling, equally if you have a large invite list and do not wish to hire a marquee, you can use multiple dining rooms.

We have minimum catering numbers of 80 adult day guests on a Friday & Saturday & 50 for the rest of the week.  These numbers may be lowered by prior agreement at off-peak times and late availability.

Access to the House is from 9am on the day of the wedding.  If there is no event the day prior, it may be possible to attend between noon & 4pm to add your finishing touches, we will confirm this at your final run-through meeting, 4 / 6 weeks before your wedding. 

Absolutely, with 35 acres we have plenty of space for a marquee.  Marquees should be hired through our preferred suppliers.  Please note there is a daily ground rent whilst the marquee is being erected & dismantled.

Once you have confirmed you would like to book, we will hold the date for 7 days, giving you time to confirm with your church or Wiltshire registrars.  Once we receive your signed booking form and booking fee, we will then confirm your booking. 

We will advise you as and when payments are due.  Payments can be made by BACS or cash. NOT bankers draft.

The three-stage tower is from the 15th century. Much work was carried out in the 19th century.  Should you want more information please visit their website https://bybrook.org.uk/our-churches/grittleton/.
