The dedicated wedding planners will provide an outstanding service to create a bespoke experience to suit your dream wedding requirements. Facilities and Capacity Blenheim Palace provides a spectacular setting for your wedding. Its 18th-century Baroque architecture, over 2,000 acres of picturesque landscaped parkland, and award-winning Formal Gardens make it a scenic backdrop for photographs. Licensed in civil ceremonies and partnerships, this beautiful venue offers six areas for events of different styles and sizes. The Marlborough room and the Orangery, makes an impressive ceremony location, and the Great Hall and Long Library are fantastic places for dining and drinks. With each room suited for different elements of the day, these can be used separately or together as one impressive space.

Perfect wedding space for 2026 - The Orangery Elevate your wedding experience further with our restored Orangery. In January 2023, we embarked on an innovative conservation endeavor aimed at reinstating the roof of The Orangery to its original robust slate composition and is the first Grade 1 listed building to do something of this kind. Today, the culmination of our efforts unveils an extraordinary transformation. The Orangery, restored to its former glory, now embraces a captivating bar area and seating arrangement catering to up to 120 guests (although larger numbers can be discussed). This harmonious merger of contemporary chic with timeless charm amplifies the allure of our historic venue, creating the space for your special day.

We just wanted to express our heartfelt thanks to the team that we worked closely with to plan our special day. Zero notes or complaints - we loved how our day turned out, and we know that none of that happens by accident. Emma, in particular was fantastic, with her attention to detail throughout the process, and for calmly helping us find solutions in the midst of the chaos on the day. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we cannot thank her enough. The food was spot on, and exactly what we had asked for - from the canapes to the meals - our thanks to Aidan. We had a number of guests with dietary requirement, and they commented that someone came to check that they received the correct order, and how r

We had the most wonderful wedding reception at Blenheim Palace, and it truly exceeded our expectations. Our wedding meal was held in the Spencer-Churchill Room, which had such a beautiful atmosphere and was absolutely perfect for our group of around 50 guests. The setting felt elegant, intimate, and special, making it a fantastic space for celebrating with our closest family and friends. After the meal, we cut our wedding cake on the Croquet Lawn, opposite the Italian Garden, which was an unforgettable moment in such a stunning setting. A special thank you to Emma, our event coordinator, who was incredibly professional, attentive, and always happy to help. She made the planning process feel smooth and stress-free, and we really appreciated her support throughout. Blenheim Palace offered an exceptional experience while still being very budget-friendly, which made it even mo
