Exchange your vows in an unrivalled setting
Ashridge has a number of magnificent function rooms which are licensed for civil ceremonies and can accommodate up to 110 guests. Each room boasts its own character and charm; from the Main Hall’s neo-gothic carved stonework, to sumptuous Italian marble and gold leaf in the Lady Marian Alford Room. All rooms inter-connect, allowing you to choose how you would like to use each one to suit the individual style of your special day. Should you be romanticising about exchanging your vows within the gardens, you have two unique settings to choose from – on the South Terrace, or inside the Victorian Fernery. The wedding ceremony, conducted by the Dacorum Registrars, can also be tailored to suit your needs.
Welcome family and friends over a drinks reception
Whatever the season, your guests will enjoy the glorious panoramic views of the gardens, whilst you take advantage of the breathtaking setting for your most memorable photographs. Ashridge looks wonderful throughout the year – crisp air and sparkling frost create a magical atmosphere in winter, spring and summer welcome dramatic rhododendrons and sweet scented antique roses, and a perfect autumn scene is created with trees bursting into the most vivid colours.
Spoil yourselves with a sumptuous wedding breakfast
Our award winning team of chefs have carefully selected a variety of dishes to help you create a delicious menu for your wedding breakfast. By choosing one starter, main course and dessert, you can design a menu to suit your individual taste. Your Wedding Co-ordinator will be happy to discuss alternative arrangements for guests with special dietary requirements, any additional courses you may wish to include, and the buffet options available to you. Minimum numbers are 70, but our exquisite function rooms can seat up to 180 guests.
Celebrate in style with an evening function
Dance the night away to a disco, or be entertained by a live band – the choice is yours. Ashridge can host up to 400 guests in total, should you wish to invite additional evening guests. Your Wedding Co-ordinator will be able to provide full details of prices and buffet menus available to you. Once the sun has set, we can enchant your guests with fireworks in the beautifully landscaped gardens, before the bar finally closes at midnight and your guests begin to make their way to their accommodation on site.
