Licensed for civil ceremonies and welcoming weddings of up to 300 guests, this beautiful country house combines grand interiors, manicured gardens and exclusive hire. With luxurious on-site accommodation and a dedicated in-house wedding coordinator, every celebration can be tailored to your vision.

The estate offers a variety of beautiful spaces for every stage of the day. The elegant Dining Room accommodates 80 guests for a wedding breakfast or 150 for a ceremony, while the magnificent Ballroom hosts 110 for a seated wedding breakfast or 150 for ceremonies beneath soaring ceilings, glittering chandeliers and dramatic draped curtains.

Outdoors, the partially covered Verandah provides space for ceremonies of up to 300 guests, while the landscaped gardens create a spectacular backdrop for photographs. As evening falls, celebrations continue in the award-winning Old Kitchens, a hidden 1920s-inspired speakeasy with a cocktail bar, dance floor and space for up to 300 guests.

Every wedding is completely bespoke. Marquees can be erected on the lawn, while trusted catering partners, including Coe Catering, create seasonal menus tailored to your celebration, whether you’re planning an elegant wedding breakfast, a relaxed sharing feast, canapes or evening food. Drinks packages can be personalised too, with Champagne for toasts, wine pairings, cocktails, beers, soft drinks and hot beverages.

Nine beautifully renovated en-suite bedrooms overlook the estate grounds, allowing family and friends to extend the celebrations into a memorable wedding weekend. Combined with roaring open fires, sweeping gardens and an experienced events team guiding every step of the planning process, Birdsall House offers a timeless country house setting for weddings.

Testimonials for Birdsall House

Lizzie & Matthew | April 2025APRIL, 2026

We don't think we have had a typical wedding venue experience – from our first visit until our wedding weekend, you have made us feel so welcome and safe in the knowledge that our wedding would be perfect. You are such warm and genuine people and have made the whole process so easy and fun for us. It is a good job we will only do this once, because nothing will ever top the memories you have given us all. Thank you!

Lizzie & Matthew

Alice & Matt | May 2026MAY, 2025

We knew the wedding was going to be special, but you surpassed our expectations in every way. The morning was calm, serene and peaceful. The atmosphere changed perfectly in sync with each stage as the day progressed. Every member of the team has been fantastic, the visitor service and experience have been unbelievable, and something each guest has mentioned – Jo captured the heart of most of the guests! We will forever be grateful for you sharing your home with us to create the best day of our lives. Thank you!
