A magnificent backdrop for outdoor marquee receptions of all sizes and styles, the venue also comes complete with a quaint church for quintessentially British religious ceremonies and a contemporary yet cosy purpose-built oak-framed barn for intimate rehearsal dinners, morning bridal preparations and a wet-weather civil ceremony option.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-107693 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Spectacular Gardens of Wickham House\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC_9055.jpg\" alt=\"Wickham House\" class=\"wp-image-107693\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Spectacular Gardens of Wickham House\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC_9055.jpg\" alt=\"Wickham House\" class=\"wp-image-107693\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Wickham House<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet the true magic of Wickham is unveiled outside within the 52 acres of heavenly grounds that come alive in all their glory from May to September.
