An enchanting country estate and family residence, Davenport House is exclusively yours on your special day. Set amidst the picturesque Shropshire countryside at the end of a sweeping driveway, this idyllic Georgian house has been hosting beautiful weddings for 25 years!
Just a stones throw away from the fairytale aesthetic of Bridgnorth, your guests will love exploring the surrounding areas before and after your big day!
A beacon of style, class, romance and elegance, Davenport House was lovingly restored in 2017 by owners Lizzie and Joe. In each room, chic, contemporary decor is juxtaposed against the historic decadence of the building’s original features.
Step inside this magical venue and make yourself at home, inviting your friends and family to celebrate your wedding day surrounded by its history, warmth and elegance.
Entering this great house through the magnificent double doors, you might choose to say ‘I do’ in The Great Hall. Brimming with character from its chic style to the stone floors and portraits of the Davenport family, this is the very heart of the home and the perfect place in which to say your vows. Alternatively, marry in another of the great rooms in the house or between the pillars on the wonderful front steps of Davenport House, making the most of the idyllic surroundings and façade.
From The Great Hall, double doors open to lead through to the beautiful Saloon with its marquetry floor. It is there that you might choose to enjoy welcome drinks and canapés along with breathtaking views over the lawns beyond. Stone steps lead down from The Saloon to the terrace, lawns and lily pond, a sublime spot in which to mingle with a glass of fizz on warmer days. Photo opportunities are in abundance both inside and out, from the secluded secret garden to the magnificent staircase and fireplaces.
The Drawing Room lures your guests in to dine, with original panelling painted in elegant ‘tea green’, wood floors and large windows overlooking the lawns. The specialist on-site wedding event planners and expert caterers will work closely with you to help create the most spectacular wedding. From delicious canapés to exquisite dining and imaginative, informal evening food, they use only the freshest seasonal ingredients to create your bespoke menu.
Throughout the day, as the rooms connect with one another, there is a natural flow between the ceremony, reception, wedding breakfast and evening celebration. As day turns to evening, The Great Hall takes centre stage once again as your dance floor, while guests might also choose to relax in The Saloon or The Dining Room.
Accommodating up to 42 people overnight, you and your closest friends and family can enjoy the beautiful surroundings for the entirety of your day. Four luxurious en-suite bedrooms, including a honeymoon suite and impressive breakfast area, are located in the main house, while four cottages in the grounds each with a private garden.
A further cottage, The Stable, is offered as your bridal preparation area. Light and airy with dressing tables and an array of mirrors, just a few steps across the gravel driveway lead you to the main house and your ceremony.
Davenport, what a venue! From the first time we stepped in, we knew it was the venue for us. The people were incredibly helpful, the venue speaks for itself and the grounds are stunning. The whole wedding planning process was seamless, Megan our wedding planner was faultless and ensured our day went ahead without a glitch! They kept in touch with our suppliers and ensured we didn’t have a single thing to worry about!
All of our guests were amazed with the venue and have said it was one of the best places they’ve ever been to for a wedding!

We had the most perfect wedding day! We went to view Davenport in search of our wedding venue, and from the minute we pulled up we knew it was the one for us. Set in the most beautiful location with stunning views no matter where you look, and the house itself is just beautiful.
Everything was made super easy and Megan (our wedding planner) was absolutely fantastic at getting back to us if there were any questions.
On the days itself we had absolutely nothing to worry about as everything is done for you and the staff are very experienced, professional, helpful and super friendly.
The accommodation was beautiful and everything was immaculate.
The food was amazing, and I think nearly all of our guests have commented on what a beautifully cooked meal it was, and the kebabs in the evening went down an absolute treat! Our guests had such a great day and were looked after incredibly well too.
I would highly recommend to any couples looking for their dream wedding venue as you won’t be disappointed!
Thank you again to the Davenport team!

We had the best day ever for our wedding day. The staff were second to none and nothing went wrong at all. Every small detail was listened to and staff went above and beyond. We had the most amazing day of our lives (as did our guests!). Huge thank you to Megan and Fred (sorry we didn’t get his name!) they were faultless! Beautiful setting, perfect day.

Well, I don’t even know where to start. There is not one bad thing I could say about this venue. Spectacular, amazing view & perfect. If you are thinking of this wedding venue, any of the wedding planners are amazing, but I would like to give a special shout out to Charley (ask for Charley she is a dream to work with). I imagine I was probably one of their craziest brides and definitely kept everyone on their toes. My partner Harry and I decided to get married very quickly within 10 weeks and I thought it would be very hard for my dream wedding to be achieved, but I was so wrong. Davenport think of every option that you want or need. No matter how small my questions were or any concerns that I had during the weeks before the wedding, the team at Davenport would be on hand. Even though planning this wedding quickly, I had three meetings to discuss the wedding and had numerous phones calls. It is almost like my wedding was the only one being planned, which we all know that’s not the case. As this is the most important day of your life (or well was for me) having built a connection with the team at Davenport they truly understood my vision for the day and oh my did they make my dreams come true. They make you feel special, and you can never ask is too much.
On the day of my wedding I completely let go of my organised brain and my wedding planner Charley took the reins, she would keep me on track throughout the day to make sure that I did not miss any moment. Everyone who works at Davenport are considerate and very caring. Happy to help with anything.
We had a tailor-made drinks package as we decided to have a dry wedding (which might I add the mocktails they created for this were to die for, and I think I need to get the recipes) The food was amazing from having canapés to the three-course meal and then finally having pizza in the evening.
I will forever be grateful to Charley and all the team at Davenport House for creating the most amazing wedding for Harry and myself.

Charley and the whole team at Davenport were brilliant throughout our wedding day. This included Lizzie welcoming me and the girls the night before, Megan making sure we were up and ready in the morning, and Charley checking my dress looked perfect and checking in with both me and Luke throughout the day with her reassuring and calm manner. We had no doubt that you would all look after us and make us feel so special, so thank you. We were also really grateful to the staff that served us on the day. In particular, the lovely lady behind the bar and the gentleman from Seville, who both showed great enthusiasm and friendliness towards us. (Apologies, our memory of specific names is not great!). We want to take a moment to thank Ian and the chefs for the amazing food they served that we are still talking about today – the beef and the mashed potato were real highlights! Ian is the perfect gentleman too, who organised the perfect gluten and dairy free menu (and biscuits!) for our special day. And we can’t forget the amazing breakfast the next morning, with the most helpful lady who brought out a brand-new toaster just for Luke’s g-free bread, which made us all so happy!

We recently got married at Davenport House, and we cannot fault the whole experience one bit. From the moment we stepped into the venue for the first time, we were blown away. The staff are so friendly and passionate about what they do. Being able to meet a number of times leading up to the big day really helped calm our nerves, and the menu tasting evening was amazing too. On the run-up to the wedding, queries/questions were answered instantly by our brilliant wedding planner Charley and the day itself couldn’t have gone any more smoothly. The venue was set up exactly how we wanted it to be, the timings of the day were spot on and our guests could not fault the venue, service and staff one bit. The kebabs for the evening food, served in the secret tepee, are the ones to go for! We’ve received so many compliments, and we are so lucky we were able to get married at Davenport House, and would like to thank all of the staff again for their passionate and professional service! We hope to return again soon.

We got married at Davenport in August after two push backs due to Covid restrictions. After initially wanting a Christmas wedding, I can honestly say the day exceeded our expectations and we wouldn’t have had it any other way.
The house and grounds are just simply stunning. The house retains its original features, whilst having a stylish and contemporary finish. Every room is finished to the highest standard and so much thought has gone into the decoration and finishing touches. Davenport really does have the wow factor and stands out from other venues that we viewed, we are so thankful we were able to celebrate our special day here.
The day was amazing. The food and drink were fantastic – in particular, everyone was raving about the woodfire pizza’s that were serves in the Tipi in the evening. It really added another level to the wedding.
Getting married during Covid was certainly a roller coaster experience, but Lizzie and the staff at Davenport endeavoured to ensure that whatever happened we would have the most special day. Her team were always on hand to answer any questions I had which made being a Covid bride so much easier and helped the process still be an enjoyable one.
I cannot credit Lizzie and her team enough, their attention to detail, organisation and professionalism is not to be rivalled. The day was seamless and stress free and I couldn’t have asked for anything else. Throughout the whole process we were always made to feel special and that our day truly mattered.
If you are considering a wedding or event at Davenport – I cannot think of a better location and team to look after you. I just wish we could do it all over again!
Davenport House is the perfect wedding venue. The house and location are beautiful and the interior decor of the house cannot be faulted. Our day was perfect in every way; we couldn’t have asked for more – the food, drink and little touches from everyone working there made the day extra special. The entire process, from the first meeting to visiting again after our wedding, was magical and we felt like the house was ours. Everyone working at Davenport House are beyond excellent and always went above and beyond in every aspect of our wedding planning journey. The food was also impeccable!
