At the end of a long drive, surrounded by 500 acres of parkland, Coombe Abbey makes a striking setting for a wedding. This 12th-century castle hotel is steeped in history, with character at every turn and landscaped grounds providing a wonderful backdrop for your day - and plenty of picturesque spots for photographs.

As you approach the ancient abbey, its Gothic architecture is reflected in the lake, offering a glimpse of what awaits inside. Discover stained-glass windows, intricate wood carvings and historic details woven throughout the building, each adding to its unique atmosphere. Just nine miles from Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon and around two hours from London, it is wonderfully placed for weddings with family and friends.

Celebrate the Night Before

Why not begin the celebrations a little earlier? The evening before your wedding, gather with up to ten of your nearest and dearest at Coombe Abbey for a relaxed get-together over a delicious grazing board and bar allowance. It's a lovely way to settle in, spend time with those closest to you and build the excitement before the big day.

Choose the setting that feels right for you, from a generous range of elegant rooms and outdoor spaces for your ceremony, before enjoying reception drinks, canapés and lawn games with your guests.

When it's time to dine, indulge in a delicious four- or six-course wedding breakfast, depending on your chosen package, with menus created to make your occasion feel truly special.

As evening falls, gather with friends and family for a delicious evening buffet before taking to the dance floor and celebrating long into the night.
