Set within 425 acres of landscaped parkland in Bedfordshire, Shuttleworth House is a Grade II-listed mansion house that provides a truly magical setting for weddings. From its manicured lawns and foundations to its elegant interiors with chandeliers, stained glass and ornate mouldings, every corner of the estate offers a picture-perfect backdrop for your celebration.
Couples have exclusive use of the house and its gardens, with a choice of five licensed rooms for civil ceremonies. The Saloon can welcome up to 120 guests, while the Garden Suite hosts 200 for a ceremony or 150 for a wedding breakfast. More intimate spaces such as the Morning Room or Dining Room are ideal for smaller gatherings, and outdoor ceremonies are equally enchanting thanks to the Swiss Garden, with a capacity of 70, and the Summer House, which can host 100 people and has stunning views over the lily pond.
For those dreaming of a larger celebration, Shuttleworth’s sprawling parkland allows for marquees and tipis, with space for festival-style weddings. The estate’s unique orangery-style glasshouse, filled with greenery and natural light, provides yet another romantic option for vows or photographs.
Catering is managed by five preferred external caterers, offering everything from refined plated dinners to creative sharing feasts. To complete the experience, there are 15 en-suite bedrooms above the Garden Suite, plus a fully furnished one-bedroom flat with views across the grounds, ensuring guests can relax and make the most of their time at Shuttleworth.
With its historic architecture, spectacular gardens, and extraordinary flexibility, Shuttleworth House is a rare find - a venue that can host weddings of every style, from intimate ceremonies to grand country house celebrations and even festival-inspired affairs.
