About

There is nothing ordinary about Penton Park; it’s a house full of stories, full of light, life, and magic

Its story began in the late 18th century, but it was Sir William Cubitt, who devoted himself to enhancing both the house and grounds in the 19th century, that helped create the Penton of today. From a convalescent house in WWII for American soldiers to the romantic rebellion of the students of St. Benedict’s Convent school, who, according to legend, used a hidden tunnel underneath Penton to sneak out and meet potential suitors.

Penton isn’t just a venue, it isn’t just a glorious Georgian Manor, it’s the first step on your new journey into married life, waiting patiently in the Hampshire countryside to add its magic to your own story.

Penton is not a hotel; its timeless charm is not to be rushed and neither will you be.

The time leading up to the event can feel incredibly frantic and we will always offer you ample time you need to set up with your friends and family ensuring your day everything you dreamed of. Our dedicated team will be on hand at every stage with our head of Events, Billy meticulously overseeing every detail so you can relax and savour those fleeting moments.

We let you tailor the wedding you want, from the timescales and the food to the type, location, and size of the ceremony. Our hire fee includes access to the house the day before your wedding, should you need to set anything up and we won’t chase you out the morning after. You, and any guests you have staying at the house, can enjoy a leisurely breakfast whilst you chat through the previous days festivities and pack up any items you need to take home.

At Penton we only ever do one wedding per weekend, whilst most couples choose to book for just the one night, longer hire periods can be arranged.

Perfection at Penton Park

To thank Penton Park (PP) for being a "great venue" is to do them a great disservice, and is really missing the point by a nautical mile.

When you book your wedding with PP, you also guarantee yourself an easy and enjoyable preparation for your wedding with the lovely PP team. You guarantee yourself a weekend of exclusive guest access to an exquisite, all-weather, Grade II listed venue, without having to worry about navigating around other stressed couples making last-minute adjustments to the same venue for their big day, because although PP welcome enough couples each year to keep themselves on point, they couldn't be further from other commercial "conveyor belt" experiences - offering just 20 lucky couples each year the opportunity to take over the family home and celebrate their marriage there. Book early to avoid disappointment!

The lovely PP wedding team... what can I say? Professionally punctual and meticulous, but almost un-"professionally"... enthusiastic, flexible, and welcoming (in the mutual excitement of their welcoming you into their family home for the most wonderful day of your life so far :-D)!

Look no further for your wedding venue...

James and I felt incredibly lucky to be able to hold our wedding reception at Penton Park earlier this year. It was the first wedding venue we viewed, and in all honesty, we wanted to book the minute we saw its gorgeous setting and the beautiful interiors! However, their family home wouldn't be half as special without the people in it. Danielle, Guy, Michelle, and the wider Penton Park team really do go above and beyond to make sure that your wedding day is as perfect as you had imagined, and it's the friendly, welcoming, family-oriented feeling they create that makes Penton Park so special. We are immensely grateful for all their incredibly hard work, their wonderfully detailed lists/ timetables, and for being so brilliant with all of our family and friends. We will invent all manner of excuses to host events here in future, will recommend Penton Park to anyone who will listen, and we'd totally move in if we could get away with it! Thank you so much for everything and lots of love, Danielle and James xxx

Perfect May wedding at Penton Park

We were fortunate enough to get married at Penton Park in May. Our wedding was truly perfect in every way. Danielle and Guy were great hosts and unbelievably helpful in the months preceding the big day. Along with Michelle, they were the ultimate professionals - so organised and no detail was missed. They worked seamlessly with our caterers, Smallpiece. The marquee worked perfectly for our number of guests. Our guests loved the lawn games and Guy’s fantastic beer from the Penton Park Brewery. We were so relaxed and had such fun at our wedding.

For anyone looking to get married - the team at Penton Park were amazing and you couldn’t ask for a better venue.

Most excellent!

Having been to many a wedding at converted style barns we were pleasantly surprised to find Penton Park was cheaper. A beautiful house in beautiful grounds which is easy to get to and not isolated.
Michelle and Danielle (manager and owner) are very accommodating and help to plan it to a tee! We wanted an Alice in Wonderland style wedding with our dogs present - this of course was no problem. If you're looking for a well organised wedding in a beautiful setting pick Penton!

The most fantastic house party!

We looked at a few venues before choosing Penton Park for our February wedding. The moment we walked in we knew; the fires were roaring, the decor is beautiful and one of the owners, Danielle, made us feel so incredibly welcome that we had to have our day there, not to mention the outstanding views and countryside. We had 50 guests for our ceremony and lunch, then 100 in the evening for speeches and dancing! Nothing was too much trouble and throughout the run up and whole day Michelle (events manager) and Guy and Danielle (owners) made us feel like family friends. Every single guest loved the whole day, there are spaces for everyone to enjoy, from comfy sofas to curl up on, ballroom for dancing and a full sized snooker table with well stocked bar, we couldn't have asked for more! It felt like a very well catered, completely relaxed, but extremely beautiful house party!

We both loved Penton Park from our first visit, but I don't think we realised how perfect it would be for us until the day. We wanted somewhere beautiful but also somewhere where people could feel relaxed and comfortable, and Penton definitely helped us to get that balance. The venue is stunning, but because it is also a home it has a feel about it that we didn’t find anywhere else. And yet we weren’t restricted with what we could do with the space and were encouraged to make it exactly the way we wanted it for the day. We had three ceremonies as part of our wedding and getting these right was the most important part for us. There weren’t any other venues that we looked at that would have enabled us to do all three as easily, or that embraced the idea the way Danielle did from our first meeting - they not only allowed us to do it our way, but their enthusiasm made a big difference to us. From our first meeting with Danielle to the day itself, the whole team were so friendly and many of our guests commented on this and the warm atmosphere they helped to create. The team did an excellent job of making the day run smoothly, and when some of our timings didn’t work out quite how we expected they responded quickly and efficiently so that even we barely noticed, let alone any of our guests. And for a winter wedding with several overseas guests the fireplaces were definitely a bonus! We both had so much fun that day, and felt so relaxed throughout. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Penton Park as a wedding venue.

Incredible venue for our winter wedding!

We fell in love with Penton Park for our winter wedding not only because it is such a beautiful, heart-warming and welcoming place full of character for our Christmas winter wedding but also because Danielle and Michelle were faultless! Their attention to detail was unbelievable and reassuring when their is so much to do to plan a wedding it was so nice to have your mind put at rest knowing you're in safe hands! The day couldn't have been any more fluid, everything perfectly set up, nothing too much trouble and timing down to a T- the complete running of the day was gold standard. They were incredible and so friendly from day 1. Their home is a truely stunning hampshire gem! Thank you all so much!

Classic, Romantic, Friendly&Relaxed Wedding Venue

My husband and I knew as soon as we met Danielle and visited their beautiful family home that we would love to get married there. The house is stunning and has such a lovely friendly, relaxed feel. Danielle and Michelle were very helpful throughout the process and ensured we had nothing to worry about on the day. We had the perfect wedding day and would highly recommend this lovely venue in the Hampshire countryside.

something for everyone

Lucy and I had our wedding here and Danielle and her team could not have been more helpful, especially considering the timeframe we had. All the staff were friendly and engaging and the house and grounds has a bit of something for everyone. During all the planning Danielle could not have helped my wife more and I credit her with stopping Lucy from becoming bridezilla!!! Thank you from the both of us. I hope many more people get to have their big day at such a lovely place!!!”
