Grantham, Lincolnshire

Weddings at Harlaxton Manor

A Ceremony Beneath Gilded Ceilings.

Couples marry in Harlaxton's opulent state rooms, an aisle laid through a chandeliered room, or beneath the painted ceiling of the Long Gallery, then take drinks on the terraces and among the Baroque gardens. The wedding breakfast is served in the Gold Room or the Long Gallery, long candlelit tables beneath gilded ceilings, and the reception carries the grandeur of the rooms into the night, for up to 120 at the ceremony, 200 seated, and 350 standing for the evening.

A Feast in the Gold Room.
The Table

A Feast in the Gold Room.

The wedding breakfast is served in the state rooms, beneath gilded and painted ceilings, most spectacularly in the Gold Room or the Long Gallery: long candlelit tables and abundant florals against the carved woodwork and chandeliers. Catering is fine and seasonal, and the drinks reception spills onto the terraces and into the Baroque gardens.

Terraced Baroque Gardens, a Reflecting Canal.

Harlaxton's gardens are as theatrical as its rooms: dramatic terraced Italianate and Baroque gardens with statuary, balustraded steps and a garden pavilion, and a long reflecting canal that frames the manor's Jacobethan skyline of pinnacles and gables. Set in 300 acres of Lincolnshire countryside, they give a wedding both the grandest of houses and a landscape to match, a setting that turns every photograph into something cinematic.
