Say “I Do” in Timeless Elegance: Waddesdon Weddings Designed for the Extraordinary
Few places in the world offer the kind of beauty, history, and exclusivity that Waddesdon Manor provides. Tucked away in the heart of the Buckinghamshire countryside, this Rothschild estate is not just a wedding venue — it is a living work of art, a testament to refined taste, and the ultimate destination for couples who demand a celebration as unforgettable as their love.
Whether you envision a ceremony by the lakeside at The Dairy, a majestic reception at The Manor, or an intimate gathering at Eythrope, Waddesdon offers a world-class setting and impeccable service for weddings of every style and scale.
Where Love Meets Legacy
Waddesdon isn’t a hotel ballroom or a country house. It’s an iconic, aristocratic estate built in the 19th century by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild — a place where history, architecture, and natural beauty converge.
Each venue within the estate is carefully preserved yet luxuriously adapted for modern celebrations. When you choose Waddesdon, you don’t just rent a space — you step into a legacy of romance, refinement, and grandeur.
