The most beautiful venue!

Offley Place is the most perfect venue to get married in. The red brick walls, the glass ceilings and the gorgeous chandeliers added so much character to our wedding photos! Having both the Conservatory and the Hester Ballroom available, we were able to have several events throughout the day, making each one unique in entirely new spaces. The team are Offley are ever so helpful, and Charlotte, who was our Event Manager, is so knowledgable with great ideas. She was always there to support us in our vision and always promptly replying to all the hundreds of emails we sent over the year.

We wish could do it all over again at our dream venue, it was simply magical. I'd recommend all future brides and grooms to highly consider Offley Place as their wedding venue.

Best wedding venue for segregated Muslim weddings

We had our son's wedding at Offley place in June 2024. It is a wonderful venue with beautiful indoors & outdoors. The Hester ballroom was used for the women & the conservatory, for the men. The beautiful outdoors was also a place for our guests to enjoy the lawn games, ice cream van & wedding illustrations. There were separate prayer facilities & the beautiful rose garden was perfect for photoshoots.

The guests really enjoyed the day, many of them admired the venue and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Many said this was the best islamic wedding they’ve ever been to, maintaining the modesty yet enjoying the day.
Charlotte was great throughout the process with an excellent knowledge of Pakistani weddings & brilliant communication. She would go an extra mile to accommodate our needs.
The location is great, quite close to a busy town yet so peaceful, a real hidden gem.
We would forever cherish the beautiful memories made at Offley place & cannot thank Charlotte enough who helped us make this day extra special.

The best day of our lives

I cannot put into words how attentive, helpful and caring Charlotte and the Offley Place team are. They helped us create our perfect day and Charlotte even helped calm me down during my wedding-planning-panics. Thank you so much Charlotte & Team!

Perfect for bigger weddings

We were looking for a venue that could hold 200 guests for a December wedding and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. We had a shortlist of 4 venues to see in person and as soon as we visited Offley, we instantly knew we had found the one. A lot of our guests also called out how beautiful the venue was. Stand out features for us:
- Given it was a December wedding, there were lots of lovely Christmas decorations up
- Ballroom and conservatory are particularly stunning rooms
- Dedicated Rose view suite for Bridal party to get ready
- Great breakfast spread the following morning in the conservatory
- Having Charlotte as the venue coordinator settled any nerves, she’s very welcoming and knowledgeable

Our Wedding at Offley place

We had our wedding at Offley place in September 2023. Louise and her lovely team were very helpful and responsive, ensuring the whole day ran so smoothly.

From the first meeting right up to our final meeting a month before the wedding we were up to date with our plan of the day and made sure everything was as we’d planned.

Louise and her team ensured the whole day ran as we had spent months planning and we wouldn’t have changed anything.

My husband and I had the most amazing day and so did all our guests from the feedback on the beautiful venue and amazing food.

The staff at Offley Place made our wedding even better than we could have imagined.

A great venue and amazing staff

We got married at offley place and it was such a great day. The venue is so so beautiful and we have had endless compliments from friends and family. I got ready in the roseview dressing room which was so big and spacious for me and my bridesmaids. I had an outdoor ceremony and a sit down meal inside. The venue were so accommodating with all my requests such as having a horse and carriage, having and icecream van and using all the grounds. Taking pictures in the flower gardens and so on! After querying previously with other venues I know sometimes venues aren’t as lenient with this. The venue was so spacious and there was so much room for my friends and family to enjoy.

The team were super organised and stayed in touch regularly with zoom meetings and back and fourth emails. They were very clear with their pricing and payment times and made everything clear! They were also so quick at responding to mails and answering last minute questions!

I highly recommend this venue to everyone if you want a seamless day and flexible staff!

Thank you Nazlee and the staff at offley place!

An unforgettable day

We just wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude to the whole Offley Place team for putting on a wonderful wedding day for us in April.

We were really impressed by how smoothly things went, in no small way due to all the behind-the-scenes work from the dedicated and experienced Offley staff. The professionalism of the whole team was evident throughout the day and we appreciated the gentle reminders about timings and proceedings, which were sensitive and unobtrusive. Our wedding planner, Louise, deserves special thanks for thinking of all the things we hadn’t and for giving us confidence that everything was in hand. This was all the more impressive given that Offley was hosting four wedding events on consecutive days that weekend!

We have memories that will last a lifetime and have heard wonderful feedback from our guests about their experiences too. Offley will always have a special place in our hearts.

Our Perfect Day At The Perfect Venue

We married at Offley Place on the 17th October 2021. As with many weddings during this tough time, we had initially planned to wed in March 2021 however was forced to postpone as a result of the lockdown. Despite this being such a difficult time, Nazlee was super supportive throughout the whole process and was patient and helpful with us rebooking our date.

A week on after finally marrying and we are still reliving the perfect day and could not have been more thankful with our supplier choices, especially Offley Place!

The venue is a truly beautiful blank canvas that allowed me to bring my rustic vision to life. No request was too much and all my questions (which were A LOT) were always answered.

Our guests absolutely loved the venue and our suppliers were impressed with the ease of it all.

An added bonus was having our nearest and dearest stay with us overnight. It truly felt like we had become lord and lady of the house for the night and waking up to our family over a lovely private breakfast was the icing on the cake as they say.

So if you are looking for a venue with stunning grounds and a luxury touch yet with a homely feel, then I would recommend Offley Place with no hesitation!

Thank you so much to Nazlee and the team for your support and kindness in making our day so perfect!
