Exclusive Use Ceremony & Reception

We like to keep things simple, so when you book Cliffe House for your wedding you pay a single fee for the exclusive use of the whole venue, including all our beautiful ground floor reception rooms, our catering kitchen, gardens, and grounds.

Our package prices include all furniture, and a full drinks service in the Boardroom Bar, but give you the freedom to appoint your own caterers and venue dressing team to create the special day you’ve always dreamed of.

We can accommodate up to 50-day guests (plus brides and grooms) for your ceremony and seated wedding breakfast; with a capacity for 100 guests in total at your evening reception. Last orders at the bar are called at 11.30 pm and guests are invited to leave by midnight.

Available on Saturdays throughout the year.
