Description

A Charming Historic Venue for Your Wedding in Stony Stratford

If you’re dreaming of a wedding venue with character and history, The Cock Hotel in Stony Stratford is a fantastic choice. This 15th-century coaching inn, once a stop for the famous "Manchester Flier," offers a unique and memorable setting for your big day. Located in Buckinghamshire, just 10 minutes from Milton Keynes, it’s easy for your guests to reach. Plus, the hotel is linked to the origin of the phrase “Cock & Bull” story, adding a fun and distinctive touch to your celebration.

Flexible Spaces Perfect for Your Ceremony and Reception

The Cock Hotel is licensed for civil ceremonies and provides two beautiful function rooms tailored to your wedding size and style:

  • The Marquee Suite: This renovated former coach house offers a warm, inviting atmosphere. It includes a private bar, dance floor, and opens onto a charming open-air courtyard. Fully accessible on the ground floor, it comfortably hosts up to 100 guests for ceremonies or seated meals, and up to 150 for evening receptions.
  • The Oak Room: For smaller, more intimate weddings, The Oak Room on the first floor is perfect. It accommodates up to 50 guests for ceremonies and up to 35 for formal meals, creating a cozy and personal setting.

Expert Planning Support and Comfortable Accommodation

To make your wedding planning stress-free, The Cock Hotel provides an experienced wedding coordinator who will guide you through every detail. They offer bespoke wedding packages that cover everything from your drinks reception to the evening party.

Your guests will also enjoy staying overnight in one of the 30 beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms, often available at reduced rates for wedding attendees. The venue’s charming bar, restaurant, and sheltered courtyard offer perfect spots for mingling and capturing those special wedding photos.
