This elegant family-run venue offers a perfect blend of timeless charm and modern amenities, making it an idyllic setting for your special day. Perfect for celebrations of all kinds and styles, having hosted occasions all the way from three day wedding extravaganzas to intimate evening receptions - Rookesbury family and team are all yours to plan your dream wedding with you, for you.
Rookesbury is approved to hold civil marriages and we have our own in-house catering team and a premises licence to run our own bar. We pride ourselves on crafting each wedding to meet your unique desires. Our room hire charges range from £500 - £1,000 per room for those in the main house, and up to £3,000 for the Orangery. The ceremony fee is £800, and we offer seven beautifully appointed locations in the house as well as any outdoor location on the estate for you to choose from.
There are a number of rooms you could use in the main part of the house for the reception for example, before moving to the Orangery for the wedding breakfast. The orangery can seat up to 200 and still have room for a bar; later in the evening tables can be moved to make space for the dance floor, alternatively the Jubilee Hall next door can be used as well.
Our in-house catering team will tailor the menus to your requirements - canapés, afternoon tea, wedding breakfast, evening food or all of the above! As an indication a three-course wedding breakfast is currently priced at £35 - £55 per head. I have attached some sample menus for inspiration.
Our prices include tables, chairs, crockery, cutlery, staff etc - we know how annoying it is to have unexpected extras for items which we believe should be standard!
In addition, we run our own licensed bar, either prepaid for or cash/card on the day. Wines need to be purchased through Rookesbury’s suppliers or alternatively they may be brought in with a corkage fee arrangement.
