Imagine this... A dreamy estate surrounded by lush manicured gardens, where vibrant flowers bloom and towering trees stretch as far as the eye can see. The soft murmur of laughter and the gentle clinking of glasses echo from the stately house, setting the perfect tone for your celebration. As the sun begins to dip into the horizon, you slip away for enchanting photographs in the woodland, bathed in the magic of golden hour and later dance under the stars with everyone you love. Fennes is your home for the day. Whether you envision an intimate gathering or a grand affair, Fennes offers a haven of elegance for your special day. A dedicated team will ensure that every detail is flawless, with your very own Wedding and Events Manager by your side from the first moments of planning through to the final farewell. Here, your day will be nothing short of perfect. Your celebration flows effortlessly from day into night, with inviting spaces to explore and enjoy—an elegant Drawing Room, a cozy Parlour, a warm and inviting Library, a grand Banqueting Hall, and a breathtaking Pavilion adorned with twinkling chandeliers and a starlit ceiling. Everywhere you turn, there are stunning backdrops for your memories to unfold. Our talented chefs will create a feast that delights your guests, tailored to your tastes and presented with care by our attentive staff. As the night gently draws to a close, you and your beloved will retreat to the serene luxury of the private Cottage nestled within the grounds, while your closest friends and family unwind in one of our eight charming guest rooms.
