WHY STONE COURT HOUSE IS MADE FOR INTIMATE WEDDINGS
When the guest list is smaller, every detail shines brighter
Stone Court House has spaces and details that reward a closer look. With an intimate gathering, every guest has the time and space to experience everything the building has to offer - the architecture, the atmosphere, the history. A small wedding here doesn't feel like less. It feels like more.
Entirely Yours
Every package at Stone Court House comes with exclusive use. That means no other weddings, no shared spaces, no strangers passing through. Just you, your guests and a building with over 700 years of history - entirely to yourselves.
Unhurried & Unrushed
Smaller weddings allow the day to breathe. There's time for proper conversation, for lingering over dinner, for dancing when you feel like it rather than when the schedule demands it. Stone Court House lends itself to exactly this kind of celebration.
A Setting That Rewards a Small Guest List
Experience our Georgian ballrooms, private courtyards, crystal chandeliers and the Tudor fireplaces. In a smaller gathering, every guest has the space to appreciate them properly. Stone Court House is a venue that your guests will remember, and an intimate wedding gives it the time to do exactly that.
Catering Tailored to You
With over 20 international cuisines to choose from - Modern British, Italian, Indian, Japanese, Caribbean and beyond - and multiple dining tiers available, a smaller wedding gives you the time and space to make every course and every flavour exactly what you want. Your menu, your guests, your celebration.
THE CELEBRATION SPACES
Ceremony. Reception. Entertainment. All in one extraordinary building.
Three distinct spaces - each with its own character, each serving a different part of your wedding day. Intimate enough for a small gathering, extraordinary enough to leave a lasting impression.
LICENSED CEREMONY ROOM
The Sky Chambers
A grand Georgian ceremony room licensed for civil marriages and partnerships. Crystal chandelier, ornate cornicing and elegant proportions - intimate for a small gathering, extraordinary for any gathering.
EVENING ENTERTAINMENT
The Grand Ballroom
An exquisitely restored late Georgian ballroom - a naturally intimate space that comes alive with a smaller gathering. The perfect stage for dining, dancing and late-night celebration with the people who matter most.
STARLIT MARQUEE
The Star Chambers
An L-shaped starlit marquee adorned with thousands of fairy lights - an extraordinary setting that feels even more magical with an intimate gathering beneath it.
Come and see it for yourself!
If you can picture your ceremony in the Sky Chambers, dining in the intimate warmth of the Grand Ballroom, or celebrating beneath the stars in our twinkling marquee - we'd love to show you what's possible.
