If you wish to enjoy a memorable stay in Ardington House as part of your wedding celebrations, you can book the whole House on an exclusive private rental basis. The House has 12 bedrooms, mainly doubles with some twins, sleeping up to 23 guests or 25 with children. In the extensive gardens and parkland of Ardington House we have an outdoor swimming pool which is heated in the summer months, a tennis court, lawn games, fly fishing on the river, bicycles and also a popular village pub by the gates.

Ardington House is able to offer a unique setting for civil ceremonies, at an island temple situated in the middle of a river which winds its way through our parkland. Against the backdrop of the house and a riverbank lined with weeping willows, the Island Temple makes a perfect setting for an outdoor ceremony and has the capacity of up to 200. For indoor civil ceremonies, the Imperial Hall provides a grand and yet intimate setting, complete with a double staircase, large Georgian windows and glass chandelier. The Imperial Hall can hold up to 60 seated, or 80 standing. Should you like to consider it, you may install a marquee or stretch tent onto the island providing shelter, our events office can help to put you in touch with approved marquee providers.
