Weddings
An exceptional venue for civil ceremonies
Danson House is a fine Palladian villa that was built by Sir John Boyd for his young bride Catherine Chapone. Danson was built as a suite of rooms for entertaining by a man besotted with his new wife and the layout and interiors reflect themes of love and enjoyment, from the garlands and decoration above the front door to the Pavillon wall paintings in the dining room.
Up to sixty five guests can attend a memorable civil ceremony in any of the principal rooms: the salon, an octagonal room with stunning period wallpapers and furnishings overlooking the lake, the dining room with its original wall paintings and gilded mirrors, or the library with the famous George England organ. After a drinks reception for up to 130 in the house, guests can enjoy the wedding breakfast and evening reception in style in a marquee in the house’s private formal gardens, with views over the haha to the lake.
The house, formal staircase and the gardens provide a beautiful setting for your wedding photographs.
The house is a Grade 1 listed building, which offers an opportunity for a ceremony at an unusual and stunning venue. Wedding bookings can be taken year round on days when the house is not open to the public.
