Venue Intelligence

Taplow, Berkshire

A stately home above the river.

Cliveden House is a Grade I-listed Italianate mansion set high above the River Thames in 376 acres of National Trust parkland near Maidenhead, once the grand country house of the Astors and now an Iconic Luxury Hotels country house. With the famous parterre, the Great Hall, the grand oak staircase, André Garrett's restaurant, the Pavilion Spa and its celebrated outdoor pool, it is available for exclusive-use weddings of rare grandeur.

A Ceremony in the Great Hall.

Couples marry beneath the coffered ceiling of the panelled Great Hall, or outdoors on the terrace above the famous parterre with the gardens and the Thames beyond, then descend the grand oak staircase and dine in the Great Hall or the French Dining Room. Drinks and photographs move across the terraces and formal gardens, and the celebration carries into the night in a house of real magnificence, opened for one couple alone.

André Garrett and the Great Hall.

Dining is led by André Garrett's restaurant, refined modern British cooking that draws on the estate's kitchen garden, alongside the Astor Grill. Wedding breakfasts are served beneath the coffered ceiling of the Great Hall or in the panelled French Dining Room, with canapés and Champagne on the terrace above the parterre, and fine wines throughout.

Three Centuries of Grandeur.

For three hundred years Cliveden has been one of England's great houses, home to a Prince of Wales, dukes and the Astors, a place of glittering parties and history made. A wedding here inherits all of it: state rooms and terraces of real magnificence, and, at the Pavilion Spa, the famous outdoor swimming pool below the clock tower and an indoor pool, so the celebration becomes a whole weekend of grandeur and calm above the Thames.
