Setting
Newington House, a stunning 17th-century country house, is set amid 40 acres of unspoiled Oxfordshire countryside. The grounds, filled with lush gardens, meadows, and woodland, offer an enchanting backdrop. The house sits by a river, which runs through the carefully maintained gardens, alongside a tranquil lake, a walled garden, and a tennis court. Just an hour from London and a short drive from both Oxford and Henley on Thames, it is an idyllic English setting for a wedding celebration.
Ceremony
Newington House offers a range of ceremony options. The house and its grounds are licensed for civil ceremonies, allowing couples to exchange vows in various picturesque settings. The drawing room provides a refined atmosphere for an intimate indoor experience. Outdoor ceremonies can be held on the oval lawns with the grand house as a backdrop, on the terrace by the river, or within the vibrant gardens. Additionally, the charming church of St Giles is just a short 100-meter walk away, offering a beautiful nearby option for a traditional church ceremony.
