Built in 1785 as a private residence with sweeping views over the surrounding fields, today it is an exclusive-use venue, retaining the style and comfort you might expect to feel when welcomed in to a beautiful home.
On arrival at West Tower, you can relax in the knowledge that your entire wedding will take place under one roof. The house is licensed for ceremonies both inside and out, in the light and airy ballroom with its floor to ceiling windows, or outside on the lawn under the romantic ceremony pagoda.
After saying your vows, join your guests for drinks and canapés in the Cellar Bar, or in the great outdoors, enjoying some fabulous photo moments beside the wishing well, on the elegant steps leading up to the house or on the picturesque lawn.
Dining takes place in our stunning Ballroom with far-reaching views over the unspoiled countryside - its neutral wooden floors, ivory walls and delicate chandeliers lending themselves perfectly to your chosen colour scheme. At West Tower, we pride ourselves in offering an exceptional standard of dining and service, our talented chefs creating your menu, perhaps using our dedicated wedding package to inspire the choices for your wedding breakfast.
After dinner, we invite you to enjoy refreshments in the Cellar Bar or on the lawn, while we prepare the Ballroom for your evening celebration. The space lends itself perfectly to an evening party with its spacious dancefloor and stylish bar area. As the sun goes down, you might decide to serve a hog roast or barbecue from our courtyard, or a tasty buffet in the Leather Lounge with its cosy armchairs and open fire. And, when your special day draws to a close, we can accommodate up to 45 of your guests in our stylish bedrooms. Seven of these bedrooms are in the main house and boast king size beds, beautiful views and elegant, contemporary décor. Each is named after a Champagne house, our favourite being Dom Perignon.

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at West Tower Exclusive Wedding Venue?
All our weddings are completely different so although we could't say one was "the Best", we do have a wedding that was extremely memorable in the fact that the bride was getting married for a second time (her husband had died a few years before) and after the groom had said his vows to his bride he then asked the brides two daughters to stand, at which point he made his vows to always look after them and their mum, presenting them with a keepsake. Highly emotional and a privilege to be part of such a special day. It makes us value the part that we play and the responsibility we have to all our couples.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
What makes West Tower unique is our team, who have decades of experience between them, make use of this and talk to us, tell us what you have been dreaming of, after all you have been planning this day for years! Always use the experience of our team.
Where’s the best photo spot at West Tower Exclusive Wedding Venue?
All the house and grounds are perfect for photo's but the main 3 are in front of the main house, back of the house overlooking the lawns and from the lawn overlooking the rolling countryside when the sun is setting.

Our antipasto cones, so colourful, perfect for the summer months and the fish and chips are perfect for winter.
