Ceremony Options

True to our wish of giving you the luxury of choice, Holywell Hall has plenty of options for you to choose from for your ceremony.  Let the hidden charm of our gardens bring natural beauty to your wedding with a ceremony in the Garden Terrace or within the Walled Garden itself.  If you’re looking for a statement backdrop, then you have the light-filled Orangery, Fishing Pavilion or recently uncovered and renovated Dovecote to choose from.  For your ceremony only, we would love to open our house doors to you and your guests to say your vows in the stately Grand Hall or light-filled Garden Room.

Holywell Hall’s private Church, St Wilfrid’s, is available to you for blessings where you can be joined by up to 60 guests.  There are also options locally for religious ceremonies of all denominations, including the famous Normanton church in Rutland.

A ‘ceremony only’ option is available at Holywell Hall.  As with all the weddings we host, there are no set ‘packages’.  Instead, you’re able to choose the number of hours that you’re with us, the location of your ceremony and you’re still able to hold your drinks reception here before you leave, if you’d like to.

Your wedding reception at Holywell Hall will be, quite rightly, a celebration you will always remember. For your drinks reception there are numerous locations within the grounds and gardens that provide the perfect setting for champagne, cocktails and canapés. With plenty of space for up to 150 guests to socialise and entertain, your options are limitless.

After drinks, you and your guests can head to your marquee on the croquet lawn outside the Orangery. Built exclusively for you by one of our recommended suppliers, your marquee makes it possible to design and tailor every element of your wedding reception.  Our carefully chosen caterer will then serve your guests with a delicious wedding feast, including your own corkage free drinks.  After dinner we welcome and encourage you to dance the night away until the early hours.
