About Grittleton House

Grittleton House in Wiltshire is a stunning Victorian country house surrounded by 35 acres of beautiful grounds. It's a family-owned venue that offers flexibility for your special occasion. With its impressive private tree-lined drive, charming architecture, and original features, it creates a memorable experience.

For weddings, there are multiple ceremony spaces to choose from, including the Red Galley, Yellow Gallery, or the Victorian Orangery, accommodating up to 200 seated guests. The Library Well/Hall can seat 80 guests, with additional viewing areas on the balconies above.

During the wedding breakfast, the Yellow and Red Galleries can seat a maximum of 126 guests each in a "Hogwarts" style setup, or up to 112 guests with round tables. You can also combine both galleries to accommodate a maximum of 250 seated guests. Alternatively, the Victorian Orangery offers a charming alfresco option for up to 200 guests, with views of the Italian Sunken Gardens. If desired, you can arrange a marquee through their preferred supplier in various locations within the estate.

Unfortunately not. We have amazing Michelin trained chefs who are happy to tweak our menus or create a totally bespoke one for you

The Wedding party have access to the House from 9am on the day of the wedding, you can provide full set up instructions to our team, and they will have already set the rooms up for you. If we don’t have an event the previous day it may be possible to come in between noon & 4pm to add your finishing touches to the rooms. This is at the discretion of the management team.

Yes please! The acoustics are amazing in the House so it is always a pleasure to have live music, whether it be to accompany your wedding ceremony or for your wedding party.

Due to the close proximity of the village, fireworks are only permitted if the wedding date is close to Bonfire weekend or New Year’s Eve. We hope you will understand that Chinese lanterns are not permitted under any circumstance, they present a hazard to the local farm livestock, and a fire hazard for the local environment.

Yes, both inside & out although it needs to be biodegradable please.

Yes, we love candles, as demonstrated by the number we have around the House. Common sense should be applied to candles i.e. they should be in suitable containers. Unfortunately lit candles cannot be placed on the floor, particularly down the aisle as they present a fire hazard.

We understand that your furry friend is important to you and where possible we will do our best to include them in your special day. Animals must not be left unattended and we ask that you make provision for them to be collected prior to the wedding breakfast. Animals are not permitted into the bedrooms, drawing room or dining rooms at any point during the day. Animals may not stay on-site overnight.

Yes, we have minimum catering numbers of 80 adult day guests on a Friday & Saturday & 50 adult day guests for the rest of the week. These numbers may be lowered by prior agreement at off peak times and late availability, this is at the discretion of the management team.
