Welcome to Turvey House: Your Dream Wedding Venue

As the owner of Turvey House, I’m delighted to invite you to explore our historic family home as the perfect setting for your wedding day. Nestled in the beautiful Bedfordshire countryside, this stunning 18th-century manor offers a magical and private backdrop for your celebration.

An Exclusive Venue Rich in History

Turvey House is a Grade I listed country estate, lovingly cared for by my family over generations. The house’s breathtaking neo-classical architecture sits within 150 acres of picturesque parkland along the River Great Ouse. When you choose Turvey House, the entire estate is yours exclusively—giving you and your guests a serene, elegant space filled with timeless charm.

With the manor as your stunning backdrop and views over the river, your wedding will be nothing short of idyllic. Plus, we can accommodate large marquees and provide ample parking for all your guests.
