If you’re planning a wedding right now, we know how stressful it can be. So, to help, we’ve rounded up some brilliant venues, photographers, jewellers and event companies to ensure your special day is as stress-free and memorable as possible.

Dorfold Hall, which dates back to the 17th century, is nestled in 800 acres of idyllic English countryside.

The home and gardens have been lovingly restored to combine the best of Jacobean splendour with an unmistakably contemporary feel, alongside spectacular and avant-garde event spaces.

From The Coach House, with its enormous oak doors and musician’s gallery, providing a versatile haven for civil ceremonies; to drinking champagne amongst the scented borders overlooking the countryside; every view, every structure is imbued with history and refinement.

Juxtaposed alongside the timeless backdrop of the Hall, the contemporary structures of L’Écurie and the Tack come together to engender the most unique of atmospheres. The Tack - used for reception drinks - and L’Écurie – where the wedding breakfast takes place - are spectacular spaces suitable for all manner of celebrations, flamboyant or modest, large or more intimate.

Finally, an unforgettable culinary experience, as well as meticulously appointed bedrooms complement the surroundings, not to mention the most dedicated and passionate team harnessing your vision.

Dorfold is uniquely apt to allow you to script a day of unparalleled beauty in its mesmerising English landscape. So let the journey begin, escape the everyday, celebrate the extraordinary, and watch your dreams unfold.
