Our country manor house has a classic British elegance to it; that coupled with the Cotswolds’ unquestionable air of romance, makes it the perfect spot for your special day.
From the moment you drive down the sweeping driveway, you can’t help but fall in love with the charm of Ellenborough.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Ellenborough Park?
While all our couples and their weddings are so unique and personal to us we couldn't possibly pick our favorite. We do however have some highlights, these include:
a live acoustic musician setting the backdrop for drinks and canapes in the sunshine, bridesmaids & best men on horse-shaped space hoppers racing towards the racecourse and a retro-canape menu handwritten by our bride & groom. We always look forward to welcoming our couples back on their anniversary!
