THE WEDDING PAVILION As you prepare to walk down the 50m aisle, your guests will be seated awaiting your arrival while your choice of music plays in the background. At the end of the aisle, walk over the little bridge into the beautiful pavilion. Intricate hand-made lamp shades light the pergola with fairy lights twinkling in preparation for your wedding ceremony. The Wedding Pavilion at Easthampstead Park is stunning – probably one of the best outdoor ceremony venues around. (In case of bad weather, a wedding room will always be ready inside the Easthampstead Park mansion.)
THE TERRACE ROOM This room is next to the main lounge with access directly on to the rear terrace area. It has a traditional wooden floor, airy décor, wood panelling and views on to the formal gardens and fountain. The Terrace Room can host a maximum of 110 guests for a civil marriage ceremony.
TAWNEY / ORANGERY ROOMS This room is split. You can use just the Orangery Room (for up to 30 guests), or just the Tawney Room (for up to 50 guests), or a combination of the two rooms (for a maximum of 80 guests). The rooms have views to the croquet lawn and a door leading directly into the gardens.
