Imagine the situation … you’ve just found the perfect venue for your wedding and you’re embarrassed to tell people where you’ve chosen. How could this be the case? Well, it happened to us and we were saved from eternal social suicide by Julian Fellowes!
Our wedding was scheduled for February and, realists and long-sufferers of the British weather that we are, we decided that the most important attribute our wedding venue must have was fantastic interiors, as we didn’t think the opportunities for a multitude of outdoor photographs would be great.
Always ones for a good stately home ceiling and lovers of pillars and pilasters, we wanted something grand, but not draughty, something with character, but given the size of our wedding party, something cosy and welcoming. Our ideal geographic area was around Newbury in Berkshire, which was where we met fifteen years previously.
