The Sir John Bayley Suite has thought about weddings since 1923. The damask wall coverings, the gold-gilded mirrors, the long bar built into the back wall, none of that was designed for a chain hotel function. It was designed as the largest room in a private country residence, by an architect with very particular taste.
A hundred years later, that room is yours for a day.
The Bayley Suite seats one hundred and ten guests for a seated meal and holds two hundred standing for the evening. The bar is in the back corner of the room which means your DJ doesn't have to share the room with a bar queue.
Outside, the pagoda holds the ceremony when the weather allows. When it does not, the same suite licences for indoor ceremonies.
Every package is priced from the figure shown. Final pricing depends on the menu, the season, and whether you take exclusive use of the whole hall for the weekend.
A civil ceremony licence in both spaces means you can decide which on the morning of, if the weather makes you. Both spaces sit within seventy paces of each other.
Gold mirrors, candelabras, damask walls. The ceremony seats one hundred and ten with an aisle that runs the length of the room.
Hexagonal stone pagoda on the lake terrace, holding up to one hundred and twenty guests. Hydrangeas in front, the Wrekin behind.
