Blenheim Palace

Blenheim Palace

Blenheim Palace, one of Britain’s finest Palace’s, has introduced a range of new initiatives for 2012, reinforcing its status as one of Britain’s ultimate wedding venues.
A new agreement with Searcys, the upscale catering and events company ensures the World Heritage Site Palace provides a truly opulent setting for weddings – perfect for wedding parties keen to toast the happy couple’s nuptials in style.

Blenheim Wedding Set Up for 180 Guests

Blenheim Palace - "The Orangery" can cater for 180 Guests

Should the couple wish to marry at the Palace, they have a choice of two locations; The Marlborough Room, originally the Palace kitchen, with a stunning double vaulted ceiling and huge fireplace, can accommodate up to 120 wedding guests. While, the Orangery’s on-site civil wedding ceremony license, means a larger congregation of up to 250 guests can easily be achieved.

With the great lake in the background, a boating theme can add a spectacular showcase – be it with Venetian Gondolas, or quintessentially English rowing boats. The sky is the limit!
