Exclusively yours
Notley Abbey, located in the picturesque Buckinghamshire countryside, is exclusively yours to enjoy for an entire day and night. Whether you envision a vibrant summer celebration amidst the manicured grounds or a cozy winter wedding under the glow of twinkling chandeliers, Notley Abbey offers the perfect setting to bring your love story to life.

The setting
As you turn off the Aylesbury Road and make your way up the tree-lined driveway, the serene countryside unfolds around you, and soon, the enchanting Notley Abbey comes into view. Nestled within secluded riverside grounds adorned with lavender, this historic retreat immediately captures your heart.

Once the romantic home of Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh, Notley Abbey exudes timeless charm. This idyllic venue now hosts luxurious weddings for up to 250 guests, offering an unparalleled atmosphere of elegance and intimacy.

The ceremony
Begin your wedding journey in the Abbott's Hall, a space steeped in history. Once Sir Laurence Olivier’s drawing room, this intimate space features a hidden staircase leading to a 15th-century turret. Perfect for up to 110 seated guests, it provides a unique and romantic setting for your vows.

Continue the celebration in the grand Monks’ Refectory. With its barn-like architecture, floor-to-ceiling glass that floods the space with natural light, and glittering chandeliers that add a touch of glamour, this venue seamlessly blends centuries of history with modern sophistication. The Monks’ Refectory accommodates up to 164 guests for a ceremony or wedding breakfast and up to 250 for an evening reception.

For summer weddings, the Abbey’s grounds are a dream come true. A walled garden licensed for al fresco ceremonies and expansive gardens encircling the house provide countless stunning backdrops for your wedding photographs.

The accommodation
After a day of celebration, retreat to the luxurious Notley Suite, complete with a romantic four-poster bed just steps from the festivities. Your closest friends and family can join you, with eight additional beautifully appointed bedrooms available. The next morning, relive the joy of your wedding over breakfast with your nearest and dearest.

More than just selecting dishes, this candlelit evening allows you to envision the ambiance of your special day while savouring exquisite cuisine.
