Gorgeous venue and incredible service from the weddings team. We had our Hindu wedding and reception here in August and it was the most beautiful backdrop we could have asked for. Lots of character and charm and plenty of natural daylight for great photos – even in the rain. Thank you to the whole team for your help. We had the most incredible day!

We had our wedding at Offley Place in October 2022. Our planning was made very easy by the team at Offley. They were always there to respond quickly and in detail to any request, which put us at ease throughout the whole planning process.
The whole day from start to finish was perfect – the staff at Offley really made everything so easy and streamlined. It seemed as though everyone we saw or spoke to on the day loved their job and was very happy to help with any request – someone often appeared just when or before you needed them!
Our guests commented on how well the day ran from drinks on the lawn to the dinner service. We were very impressed with the professionalism throughout.
A special thank you to Angela – our on the day coordinator. Many of our guests commented on how attentive and helpful Angela was, in particular. Our wedding was her first event in charge of the logistics on the day, and she absolutely smashed it. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you so much.
Married October 2022
We had our wedding at Offley Place in September 2022, and it was our absolute dream venue. It ticked all the boxes for us. From the stunning outdoor lawn and fields, to the beautiful ballroom, conservatory, and hotel rooms, it was perfection. The staff were all incredible to deal with. So helpful and efficient, nothing was too much trouble. Offley Place made our wedding feel so special, and we feel so grateful to have gotten married there!
Married November 2022
We decided to go ahead with our wedding despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and I am so glad we did! The Offley team helped us every step of the way and really made sure we felt reassured about the situation. We certainly made the best of a bad situation and an incredibly memorable day came out of it. Thank you so much Offley place for all your hard work.
We had a Friday late afternoon wedding with a buffet. From the moment we arrived the staff were really accommodating and helped loads, they made sure the day ran smoothly and we had the best day ever. Many guests have said it’s the best wedding they had been too. The food was excellent and they made whatever we requested. The venue is amazing and very picturesque, we were fortunate to have the place to ourselves which added to the magic of the day.
We spent a long time searching for our ideal wedding venue but as soon as we viewed Offely Place, we knew it was the place for us.
Our ceremony was held outside in the pretty gazebo with our family and friends gathered around in the beautiful rose garden.
After our ceremony we had our photos in the stunning grounds of the house and our wedding breakfast in the marquee suite with open doors looking out over the grounds.
Our evening reception was also held at Offely with a live band in the Dining Room and a delicious buffet in the Oriental Room. Our guests could enjoy using all downstairs rooms, including outside and the bar area.
We spent our wedding night in one of Offley’s huge rooms, which was brimming with character and very comfortable. Our guests were also offered the chance to stay and experience the grandure of the rooms. We could not of asked for a better experience to celebrate our magical day. The place was perfect, the staff were great and the weather was fine, what else could we ask for!
Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a perfect day!
The perfect dry-hire venue!
Finding a venue big enough to cater for our wedding was tricky, but as soon as we’d found Offley Place, we knew we’d found the one! Our day was absolutely perfect, the staff were beyond helpful — the night staff even made sure the heating was on in the Rose View Suite for our 6am arrival! Very appreciated!
A special mention for Charlotte. She went above and beyond to make sure our day went as planned, and we couldn’t have done it without her.
Married February 2024
After discovering Offley Place and being blown away by the pictures, especially of the conservatory, we booked a viewing but with the expectation that such a beautiful venue wouldn’t be within our budget. We were wrong!
We met Nazlee, who was extremely professional and welcoming in our first viewing and were later introduced to Louise, who was our wedding coordinator on the big day. Louise was fantastic and really listened to all our wishes for the day, right down to the finest details.
We had every confidence in the team leading up to the big day, and rightly so – our wedding day went without a hitch (at least as far as we know!), and many of our guests commented on what a beautiful venue it was and how great the team were over the course of the day.
The food supplier, Portfolio, was also wonderful on the day and again, all our guests were raving about the wedding breakfast and evening food.
Almost a year down the line, and we still wish we could do it all over again! Offley Place will always hold a special place in our hearts and we can honestly say that out of the many other venues we visited whilst planning our wedding, none of them could compete with the way the conservatory blew us away on that first visit – it is truly stunning!
Many thanks once again to everyone at Offley Place who helped make our wedding the perfect day that it was.
Married September 2024
We had the pleasure of having our wedding at Offley Place in August 2022. The venue was beautiful, and we had many compliments from our guests. Nazlee worked with us from the first viewing to the wedding day. She was always accommodating to our needs and helped us with all of our questions. We used the dry hire option, and it worked very well for us. The rooms were amazing, and the staff were always helpful. We would recommend the venue to anyone wanting a county house style wedding.

We got married here in January 2020 and it was just such an amazing day. The charm of the conservatory drew us to Offley Place as well as the staff. The team here are so wonderful, nothing is too much trouble! From the service to the setting as well as the food and drink – everything was just perfect and we can’t thank you enough!
Got married here in October and couldn’t recommend enough. The venue itself is stunning. We paid to get ready in the rose view suite and it made the morning so much easier.
The staff were so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking to hire a venue.
thanks all for making our special day so seemless and easy.
Married October 2024
Offley Place was amazing, from the moment we chose this venue the service was impeccable. The day run so smoothly we couldn’t have asked for a better venue. The grounds are beautiful which made our photos stunning – this really is a venue of your dreams at a reasonable price!
We got married at Offlet on 10th April 2022 and couldn’t be happier with this most beautiful venue. They were an absolute pleasure to work with (especially Nazlee). Nothing was too much trouble, and all emails and questions were answered promptly. We had regular meetings with them to ensure we were all on track. All guests commented on how stunning this venue was! The grounds are beautiful and the bonus of having 16 bedrooms made it really special. The Roseview suite as an extra space for the bridal party to get ready-made it even more attractive. We cannot recommend this venue highly enough. It’s perfect!
Married April 2022
Offley Place is the most perfect venue to get married in. The red brick walls, the glass ceilings and the gorgeous chandeliers added so much character to our wedding photos! Having both the Conservatory and the Hester Ballroom available, we were able to have several events throughout the day, making each one unique in entirely new spaces. The team Offley is ever so helpful, and Charlotte, who was our Event Manager, is so knowledgeable with great ideas. She was always there to support us in our vision and always promptly replying to all the hundreds of emails we sent over the year.
We wish we could do it all over again at our dream venue; it was simply magical. I’d recommend all future brides and grooms to highly consider Offley Place as their wedding venue.
