Ceremony     Reception     Services

Moggerhanger House is the perfect venue for the smaller, intimate wedding ceremony and reception. As well as a broad range of menus and services for the reception, we are also able to host your wedding ceremony in our chapel, being fully licensed to conduct Christian wedding ceremonies.

In time we also hope to be able to host larger functions in a marquee on the back lawn, but this service won't be available until after our grounds restoration program is complete (which is currently scheduled for Spring 2010). (We would love to host your event in a marquee right now, but not whilst there is a risk that the bride may twist her ankle down a rabbit hole!). Therefore we are delighted to offer the following facilities for your consideration:

The Chapel in Moggerhanger House provides a beautiful setting for this very special service of commitment. Originally Mrs Thornton's Boudoir, the Chapel can accommodate up to 20 people, although larger ceremonies can be accommodated in other rooms within this historic house. (The 'Soane Room' can accommodate up to 30 people and the 'Eating Room' up to 50 people.)

Additionally, the splendid architecture of the Stair Hall and the Semi-Circular Landing, with its oculus, provide a wonderful backdrop for some memorable photographs of the occasion.

• Exclusive use of the Chapel for the ceremony (and other rooms if required)
• Use of the Entrance Hall and Stair Hall for photographs
• The services of Moggerhanger Park Authorised Person to conduct the service
• We also offer the opportunity to meet with the Authorised Person before the wedding day to discuss and plan the content of the service, plus the chance to meet with those who will facilitate the ceremony so that we can ensure your wedding truly meets your requirements.

Moggerhanger Park can offer a variety of reception choices, all hosted in the splendour of the historic rooms of this Grade 1 Georgian Country House. For instance, you may like to consider one of the following:

'The Silver Reception'
(For a maximum of 50 people)

• Canapes on arrival served in the Stair Hall and Drawing Rooms, followed by
• A three or four course meal served in the Old Kitchen

'The Golden Reception'
(For a maximum of 50 people in the afternoon and 75 in the evening)

• Canapes on arrival served in Stair Hall and Drawing Rooms, followed by
• A three or four 4 course meal served in the Old Kitchen (maximum of 50 people), followed by
• An evening buffet in the Drawing Rooms for up to 75 people

'The Canape Reception'
(For a maximum of 150 people)

• Greet your guests in the Entrance Hall of Moggerhanger House, and then enjoy a champagne and canape reception served in the Drawing Rooms.

Of course, these are just some sample ideas and can be adapted to meet your special needs.

We would like to draw your attention to some additional services that may enhance your wedding celebration:

• 'The Cake'. A personally designed and iced cake
• 'The Flowers'. A personally designed floral display for accompanying the wedding. This can include garlands/button holes for the wedding party.
• 'The Firework Display'. An appropriate firework display to round off your special day
