Hedsor House
Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom
Exclusive-use Georgian country house above the Thames · Taplow, Buckinghamshire
No. 333 · Autumn 2026
Vows beneath the Centre Hall dome
A Georgian house above the Thames, owned by the Shephard family since 1934 and hired to one wedding at a time, with beds for 26.
The Centre Hall takes the ceremony beneath its dome, for up to 150 with its balcony, and the ground-floor rooms and the gardens hold a civil licence, so vows can also be said on the South Lawn or the South Terrace. The Boudoir suits the smallest ceremonies and a Jewish tisch. St Nicholas' church, twelfth century, is a five-minute walk from the front steps for a church wedding, and the house hosts South Asian, East Asian, Afro-Caribbean, Jewish and Persian weddings, with the Wedding Specialist guiding each one.
Every couple wants just one thing: to remember their wedding as the best time of their lives. The Finishing Touch is the icing on the cake for busy couples who’d like the reassurance of a little extra specialist help.Mark Shephard, Managing Director
From the Drawing Room to the Willingdon Bar
Champagne after the ceremony is poured in the Drawing Room, which sits between the Centre Hall and the South Lawn, and the lawn and the South Terrace take the drinks outdoors with the Thames Valley below. The Dutch Sunken Garden is where couples go for photographs. The Ballroom, panelled in wood, seats the wedding breakfast, and the evening begins in the Willingdon Bar before the Centre Hall becomes the dance floor. Standing, the house takes 250.
