An enchanting country estate and family residence, Davenport House is exclusively yours on your special day. Set amidst picturesque Shropshire countryside, this idyllic Georgian house was extensively refurbished in 2017. Now you can step inside this magical venue and make yourself at home, celebrating your wedding day surrounded by its history, warmth and elegance.
Entering this great house through the magnificent double doors, you might choose to say ‘I do’ in The Great Hall. Brimming with character, this is the very heart of the home and the perfect place in which to say your vows. Alternatively, marry in another of the great rooms, or between the pillars on the front steps of Davenport House for a truly unique setting.
The Great Hall leads through to the beautiful Saloon with its marquetry floor. It is here that you might enjoy welcome drinks and canapés along with breathtaking views over the lawns beyond. Outside, the terrace, lily pond and secluded secret garden provide a sublime setting in which to mingle with a glass of fizz on warmer days.
The Drawing Room lures your guests in to dine, with original panelling painted in elegant ‘tea green’. The specialist on-site wedding event planners and expert caterers will work closely with you to help create the most spectacular day, complete with stunning wedding food and drink. As day turns to evening, The Great Hall becomes your dance floor, while guests might also choose to relax in The Saloon or The Drawing Room.
Six luxurious en-suite bedrooms, a further 3 double bedrooms including a plush honeymoon suite and impressive breakfast area, are located in the main house, while four cottages in the grounds offer self-catering accommodation. A further cottage, The Stable, is offered as your bridal preparation area. From intimate to lavish, and from contemporary style to the more traditional, Davenport House is your country estate that can make your dream wedding a reality.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Davenport House?
All of them!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Ask as many questions as you need. Feeling comfortable on the day is one of the most important, and often most overlooked, parts of your day. So don't be afraid to ask questions! If you're worried about anything then we are here to help and we would much rather ease any concerns you have than have you stressed on the day!
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
It is always lovely to see couples paying tribute to their parent's weddings. For example, a part of the mother of the bride's dress reused, or the jewellery. I had a groom who wore his father cufflinks and it really spurred quite an emotional reaction, it's such a small gesture but so meaningful!
