Weddings & Civil Partnerships

The setting of Quenby is perfect for weddings, providing both romance and a sense of scale yet in beautiful rooms which provide a sense of warmth and intimacy. While you are here, we aim to ensure that you feel that the house is yours.

     
   
     
 

It is not open to the public and because Quenby is a family home we limit the number of events throughout the year. All clients have exclusive use of the house and will have the peace of mind that another client won’t be leaving just as they are arriving.

 
     
   
  You can have a special day from beginning to end, tailored to your own wishes, for example:  
 
A beautiful bedroom and bathroom for preparation and dressing of the bride
 
A civil marriage or partnership ceremony in the paneled Brown Parlour or the larger Great Hall
 
A reception for up to 150 guests inside the house
 
A banquet in the Old Dairy (maximum 70 guests), or attached marquee (maximum 250 guests)
 
The Old Dairy beside the house provides a delightful country-style hall for up to 70 seated, with high beams and an open fireplace. Dancing for up to 120 is permitted here and there is a cosy bar.
 
A Marquee attached to the Old Dairy and Forge Bar (maximun 250 guests). This allows ample space for dining, dancing and entertainment whilst using the house for a reception
 
Other Cultures Weddings of other cultures are welcomed.
P lease note maximum guest numbers are 250 in a marquee
 
Log fires will be lit if appropriate
     
 

Management & Catering
The Management at Quenby Hall have many years experience in all aspects of planning and co-ordination of a successful event and will gladly provide assistance based on their individual knowledge and experience.

Our hospitality team will look after you and your guests throughout the day, assiting with parking, greeting on arrival and general co-ordination.

Quenby Hall offers a wine list and runs a pay bar when required.

In addition, we will recommend companies in whom we have absolute confidence, who are able to provide entertainment, marquees, lighting, flowers, activities and other services. We can help you to decide who and what you would prefer.

Quenby Hall does not offer in-house catering but requires clients to select from our list of Approved Caterers who have been chosen for their consistency in providing an exceptional standard of style, presentation and service.

Number of guests
This is the key question to decide because the answer will determine the ideal format for the reception. Quenby is ideally suited to everything from the intimacy of a very small private wedding for 10, a country-style barn-dance for 70, to a grand ball for 250.

If you have up to 70 guests we can accommodate everyone within the Hall for the civil ceremony & reception, with a sit down wedding breakfast in the Old Dairy.

If you have 70 guests with dancing in The Old Dairy often couples will invite further guests (max 120) to dance until midnight.

If you have up to 250 guests you can have a reception in the Hall followed by a meal in a marquee, attached to The Old Dairy and Forge Bar.

 
     
 

 
     
   
  Up to 250 can be accommodated in a marquee.  
     
   

Alternatively the Old Dairy can accommodate 70 seated and dancing is permitted.

     

Cost
The wedding hire fee for Quenby averages around £3,850. This covers exclusive hire and banqueting furniture for up to 70 guests in the house and Old Dairy for two days (one for setting up).

Our fee does not include catering, civil license, marquee hire and other services. We are happy to provide an all inclusive package on request.

There is ample parking and space for helicopter landings close to the house.

We find that each client may wish to use our facilities in different ways, so these costings are given as a guideline. Please feel free to discuss other options.

     
 
 
Marquees may be situated on the front or back lawn
