Welcome

Ceremonies and wedding packages

A Grade I stately home in Taplow where every bedroom is named for a figure from its past and weddings can take the whole house

Cliveden offers three named packages for smaller weddings, each with its own guest range, and will tailor a wedding that none of them suits. Larger weddings are held on an exclusive-use basis. On exclusive use the house takes up to 130 guests for the ceremony, the reception and the wedding breakfast, and a marquee can be hired for larger seated numbers. Ceremonies take place in the house's wedding spaces.

Receptions and the wedding breakfast

Every package includes two reception drinks per person, then a three-course wedding breakfast with coffee and petits fours in a private dining room, with half a bottle of house wine per person. Drinks can be taken in The Library Bar, and The Cliveden Dining Room is the house's formal dining room. On exclusive use the evening party takes up to 180 guests.
