Great Fosters sits across 50 acres of gardens and parkland just outside London, offering a historic and romantic backdrop for weddings. The estate blends majestic country house charm with versatile spaces for ceremonies and celebrations, suitable for weddings of all sizes. A dedicated weddings team manages every detail, while bespoke packages and flexible pricing allow couples to plan a day that reflects their vision, whether a sunlit summer wedding or an intimate winter gathering by the fires.
Couples may exchange vows in the Orangery, a light-filled and elegant space, or outdoors on the Archery Lawn. Both locations are licensed for up to 160 guests and reflect the timeless charm of the historic estate.
Drinks receptions can take place on the Magnolia Lawn in warmer months or in the Painted Hall Bar and Tithe Barn Terrace, each accommodating up to 160 guests. The Tithe Barn provides seating for 160 guests during the wedding breakfast, while combining the Tithe Barn, Orangery, and Painted Hall Bar allows for evening celebrations for up to 250 guests.
The venue offers 56 individually styled suites and bedrooms. The main house, dating back to 1550, features historic suites ideal for a romantic stay, while The Cloisters and The Coach House offer a range of additional rooms and suites. Some feature four-poster beds, and others display historic trinkets collected over time.
Guests staying overnight have access to the heated outdoor pool and hot tub, available from May to September between 8am and 8pm.
The kitchen team works closely with each couple to create personalised menus that reflect their individual tastes. Options include three-course dinners, canapés, or relaxed BBQs, all delivered with the same level of quality and attention to detail.

Thank you so much, it really was an incredible day. The banqueting team really made it very special and helped us through the day, and handled the rain like true professionals (to the point that I didn’t even know it was still raining in the evening!) The barn, bar and orangery looked absolutely stunning.
Again, thank you so so much for all of your help over the last 18 months. You helped us make the day as magical as it was.

We had an amazing time, thank you! Everything was perfect across the whole day, and totally exceeded our expectations. All of the staff were incredible, and a shout-out to Amit – he was excellent from start to finish.

We would just like to say the world’s biggest thank you to the GF team, but most of all to you! It was honestly the most incredible day that we will remember for the rest of our lives!
It wouldn’t have been possible and as stress-free without you, so from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. It’s been an absolute pleasure from start to finish.

What a day, it was certainly a day that was beyond perfect and everything and more than Tracey and I had hoped.
We would like to thank you and your team for your help and support. There was a lot going on during the day, and everything came together well.
It was as our first dance read, Magical.
You certainly helped make our dream come true, and for that, we will always be grateful.

Thank you so much! The wedding was even better than we had imagined it. We really appreciate your help putting everything together.
Also, can you pass on a massive thank you to Hannah and her team, who actually ran the event. They were so helpful and attentive. We honestly can’t thank them enough.

Your private bar can remain open until midnight.
You are welcome to arrange a DJ through our sole supplier, Firebird Events, to play in the Tithe Barn. Should you wish to have a band perform, this can only take place in the Orangery. Your coordinator will be able to confirm the exact location within these areas.
We do not permit other caterers to be brought into the hotel.
Yes they are. We ask that tea lights are in holders and pillar candles on a base. We are happy to put these out on the morning of the wedding and light them prior to guests arrival into each room. Fairy lights must be hired through one of our trusted suppliers.
Biodegradable confetti or rose petals are permitted in your ceremony room. Confetti is not permitted in the grounds.
To respect our local residents, fireworks are only permitted on or around 5th November. Due to the venue's rural setting, aerial lanterns are not allowed, and floating candles are prohibited in the moat. However, sparklers may be used in the grounds during your evening reception.
Both the Tithe Barn and Orangery are wheelchair accessible and feature accessible toilets. Some areas of the gardens are not suitable for wheelchair users - your coordinator will be able to highlight these for you.
We offer a complimentary honeymoon suite for the night of the wedding, available from 3 pm. Discounted accommodation rates are offered, and the precise number offered and their rate will depend on the time of year and day of the week.
Bedrooms are available from 3 pm, and we kindly request that all rooms be vacated by 11am.
Children aged 12 and under may choose a smaller portion of the adult menu, which is charged at two-thirds of the adult price, or opt for their own separate children's menu. We have several highchairs and booster seats available. Please request these six to eight weeks before your wedding.
