About

Set on the edge of the picturesque Kedleston estate, The Kedleston Country House offers stunning views of the Derbyshire countryside. If you’re looking for an idyllic location to host your wedding day, then look no further. We invite you to make our house your home, exclusively for you and your nearest and dearest.

Our award-winning events team will be on hand throughout the entire wedding planning process, from the booking of the venue, until the last person leaves the dancefloor, so you can rest assured knowing that your special day is in good hands.

As you have exclusive use of The Kedleston Country House, you can have your wedding your way. Hot chocolates in the Snug for a gorgeous winter wedding? Pimms on the terrace in the height of Summer? We want to help you create the best day possible, and we know that you'll relax more knowing you have the entire property to yourselves.

When you say your ‘I Do’s!’, you have a choice of two locations. Our stunning Orangery with its glass roof and panoramic views of the countryside, can seat up to 70 guests; alternatively, up to 50 guests can be seated in the Dining Room, with high set windows and stunning architecture.

After your nuptials, guests can enjoy drinks and canapes. If weather permits, our terrace and lawns are a great place to mix and mingle, or alternatively, the snug and bar will be open for your guests to relax in our stylish and comfortable chairs, taking in the spirit of the venue.

For your wedding breakfast, we are more than happy to accommodate your needs, whether you’re looking for a lavish 3-course affair, or a relaxed tapas-style dinner. When you’re planning your special day, you will work closely with our events team and caterers to ensure the menu is perfectly suited to your tastes.

Last but not least, The Kedleston Country House will be yours for dancing the night away until 11.30pm, so you can really let your hair down and end the day on a high…

Perfect day!

The day was absolutely perfect. As we said our vows the sun came out and was streaming through the glass roof of The Orangery. We’ve had lots of comments that the food was the best people had had at a wedding and the service was outstanding. The Orangery is the perfect spot for a wedding and its beautiful surroundings meant we achieved an intimate and relaxed feeling throughout the day.

Brilliant Wedding Experience!

We booked a show round at The Kedleston Country House as my mum had been and said how beautiful the new renovation is. We saw Robyn the co-ordinator. She was really lovely and showed us round, talking through every detail of our day and how it would run. She seemed to really care about what we wanted as a couple, and special ideas we had to include. The honeymoon suite is to die for!! Gorgeous massive bed, and amazing roll top bath! The quote came through the next day, and after a couple of changes (we upgraded to a cocktail which we get to help create for our guests) we've booked. Can't wait for my big day now. Roll on August! Can't recommend The Kedleston enough.
