Bourton Hall: A Luxury Wedding Venue in Warwickshire

Tucked away in the rolling Warwickshire countryside, Bourton Hall is a breathtaking Italian Renaissance-style mansion designed to make wedding dreams come true. With its timeless elegance, 15 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and woodlands, and exclusive-use setting, this is a venue that feels as magical as your love story. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, Bourton Hall offers the perfect backdrop for unforgettable memories.

Why Choose Bourton Hall for Your Wedding?

A Venue Steeped in History and Romance

Built in 1791 and inspired by the charm of Italian villas, Bourton Hall is full of character. From the sandstone façade and romantic balconies to hidden gems like the Italianate pond, this venue feels like it’s straight out of a fairytale.

Step through the doors, and you’ll find yourself in the heart of history. The grand staircase in the main hall, with its stunning glass cupolas flooding the space with natural light, makes a jaw-dropping first impression. Every corner of the mansion—from the ornate ceilings to the elegant period features—has been carefully preserved to create a space that feels both timeless and welcoming.

Ceremony Spaces That Make Every Moment Magical

The Chapel

There’s nothing quite like walking down the aisle in Bourton Hall’s former-Catholic chapel. With its intricate gold-leaf ceiling, marble-panelled walls, and space for up to 120 guests, it’s a setting that will take your breath away. Live music from the Minstrel’s Gallery adds a touch of drama as you make your entrance—a moment your guests will never forget.

The Italian Room

For a more intimate ceremony, the Italian Room is a beautiful choice. Crystal chandeliers, ornate ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling sash windows make this space feel warm, elegant, and full of light.

The Portico

Dreaming of an outdoor ceremony? The Portico offers a stunning al fresco option, with the mansion as your backdrop and sweeping views of the Warwickshire countryside stretching out before you.

No matter the weather, Bourton Hall ensures you have a setting that’s every bit as magical as you’ve envisioned.

Celebrate in Style

Once you’ve said “I do,” it’s time to let the celebrations begin! Guests can enjoy drinks on the terrace, soak in the views, or head to the Chandelier Bar, where a log burner creates a cosy atmosphere for winter weddings.

The Banqueting Hall is perfect for your wedding breakfast, seating up to 120 guests in style. Imagine dining surrounded by your loved ones, with the soft light from the grand windows highlighting the incredible countryside views. Whether you’re dreaming of a traditional three-course meal, family-style dining, or something unique like afternoon tea, Bourton Hall’s in-house chefs are masters at creating menus tailored to your tastes.

When the sun sets, it’s time to hit the dance floor in the Draycote Bar & Disco. With space for up to 250 guests, a DJ booth, and live music options, it’s the perfect place to celebrate with your nearest and dearest.

Stay the Night in Luxurious Accommodation

Your wedding day doesn’t have to end when the music stops. Bourton Hall offers 21 ensuite bedrooms, including the stunning Lady Bourton Honeymoon Suite, where you can unwind and soak in the joy of your day. With its private dressing room, luxurious decor, and incredible views, it’s everything you could want in a bridal suite.

For the night before, the Gatekeeper’s Cottage is ideal for you and your bridal party. Picture a relaxing evening spent in the hot tub, toasting to the day ahead, and waking up refreshed and ready to say, “I do.”

The next morning, extend the celebrations with your loved ones over a full English breakfast in the Banqueting Hall. It’s the perfect way to relive those magical moments from your big day.
