The room is newly refurbished in a classic yet modern Regency style with huge floor to ceiling windows offering a spectacular view across our delightful gardens. The Blenheim Suite on the first floor, boasts the charm and character of the quintessentially English manor house and has the capacity for up to 70 day guests and 120 for an evening reception. The Garden Suite is an elegant room that boasts its own private patio and garden area. This modern room can seat up to 80 for the day and 150 for the evening and is also the perfect location for a relaxing drinks reception. For a small more intimate affair, The Terrace is the ideal setting for ceremonies of up to 50 people or a small wedding breakfast of 30. This room is bathed in natural light from the large Georgian windows and the glass-roofed terrace, and has idyllic views across the landscaped gardens. Throughout the planning process your experienced wedding Coordinator will be happy to help with planning your special day down to the finest detail, to ensure that everything runs smoothly and you can simply relax and enjoy your dream wedding day.

The Perfect Wedding Venue and amazing hotel

We very recently celebrated our wedding at Stifford Hall Hotel on the 29th of June 2024. Just wow, what an experience. It all started by visiting the venue as part of a wedding fayre, and we both just knew straight away it was the venue for us. The setup, room layout was perfect for all types of guests and the grounds are beautiful, pictures just couldn’t do it justice. The team we met at the fayre made us feel right at home, they were all on the same page and so informative.

Great Wedding venue

Came her for my son's wedding and what a great and friendly place for such an occasion. The two ladies Monica & Dina on reception were so helpful and ensured that everything went to plan. Nothing was too much trouble for them and went above and beyond to help the guests. Perfect location and venue and would highly recommend people check it out when looking for a wedding venue.

An AMAZING Wedding

We had our wedding here on 27th October. It was better than I could have hoped for. Most of my guests stayed 2 nights. We all ate the night before with high compliments of the food. Then the day itself. Getting married at 4pm. And I was so looked after. Housekeeping knocked to ensure I had everything I needed. Amanda was undoubtedly awesome and a massive credit to this hotel. But so were the whole team. Everyone was friendly, helpful, kind and made everything go so smooth

Thank you so much for making my sons wedding so special. The bride and groom had a truly memorable day and this would not have been possible without the help and assistance of the staff at Stifford Hall. The staff were friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was excellent and everyone commented on how good it was. The day ran like clockwork. Thank you again for making the day so wonderful

Day to Remember

We had the most amazing experience with Stifford Hall Hotel when we booked to hold our wedding there. All the support and meetings to plan lead to a smooth and wonderful time Amanda and the hotel staff made our wedding day and weekend special. The experience surpassed our expectations and they really took any pressure off our shoulders to ensure things ran smoothly. All the care taken in providing our wedding breakfast was spot on.- Guests raved about the food.

Wonderful wedding day

My husband & I got married at Stifford Hall Hotel in April and what a day it was. We spent the whole weekend at the hotel with so many loved and we had such a beautiful experience. Any issues that arrived were quickly resolved by the staff to ensure we had the perfect day. No job was too big and they took away all the stress from us so we could focus on relaxing and getting prepared to marry. I would like to say a special thank you to all these people who helped make our day so special.

Highly Recommended

I have just stayed at this hotel for a wedding that was being held there. I can't fault anything. Quiet rooms, comfy beds, staff that can't do enough for you. The wedding itself was so well done, lovely decorations, great food and perfect choice of music from the DJ. Highly recommend.

Wedding at Stifford Hall

We recently had our Wedding here and I have to say it was perfect. A special mention to Amanda who helped us plan it all and made the whole process reassuring and absolutely delivered on the day along with her whole team. We literally couldn't have done it without her! Everyone was super super friendly and accommodating on the day and made everyone feel special and welcome. We went for the BBQ option for the day (even though it was raining!) and were not disappointed
