It’s always hard to say goodbye to your friends and family after the Wedding celebrations. why not make the occasion last that little bit longer by adding on a Garden Party Brunch (from £3000.00) or a Pre-Wedding Dinner & Stay (from £4800.00). These optional extras are available Sundays- Thursdays and can be booked 6 months prior to your Wedding or at your Final Meeting. If this is something you would be interested in and would like to receive more information, please do speak with a member of the team, and they would be happy to provide package options.

Our Orangery is the perfect place to begin your special day at Norwood Park. With natural light and a fresh breeze from the french doors which open up to the sunken garden. The room is available for hire before your wedding from 8am to 1.30pm however we recommend moving to the Bridal Suite at midday for your finishing touches and photographs. For more details, please speak to one of our Event Managers.

The Groom’s party can have access to the Duke Suite from 11am to get ready in, with the option to add brunch and drinks which will be served in the dining room.

We recommend that all non-staying guests arrive 1 hour before your Ceremony begins. For those staying at Norwood Park, we aim to have all bedrooms ready for 12.30pm check in.

The Main House can accommodate up to 160 for a stand-up Reception and The Clock Tower can accommodate up to 250 guests. On sunny days, we encourage guests to enjoy the drinks Reception on the terrace and garden facing the lake.

At Norwood Park, we have three different rooms available for sit-down meals. The first is The Clock Tower seating up to 120 in the main room and a following 40 in the Ante room, followed by the Dining Room seating 50 and the Morning Room set to seat 30 guests. We can also accommodate private dining for more intimate affairs.

When you book Norwood Park, you have exclusive use so it will only be your Wedding Guests on site.

The Main House Front Door will also be bolted when you head over to The Clock Tower for security.

Our bar and music licences, both end at midnight and therefore we ask that non-staying guests vacate Norwood Park by 12.00 midnight at the latest.

While you are welcome to leave your vehicle in our car park, this is at your discretion and at your own risk. You must collect your vehicle by 10.30am promptly the following morning.

As you may or may not be aware, Norwood Park has its very own golf course and driving range on the estate. This is perfect for your guests/ groom’s party to visit in the morning of your wedding day, prior to checking into their bedrooms. Please speak to the Events Team for more details.

The Golf course also has a club house bar, where your friends and family can grab a breakfast/ lunch and a coffee or something a little stronger before the wedding. This is a great area for guests, especially if they arrive before the house check-in at 12:30pm.

Dropping off items the day before, is possible, subject to prior agreement.

Due to limited space and food hygiene regulations, we are unable to store any items in our fridges/ freezers. Therefore, we recommend cakes/ cheese towers are dropped off on your actual wedding day.

Upon request we can put out ramps for certain steps to allow access, or we can advise the best routes to be taken for wheelchair users. We do have gravel stones so this is worth advising your guests about ahead of the day.

We are able to provide a microphone and speaker system upon request for speeches only.

Smoke bombs are permitted away from the house but are used at your own risk. Please ensure these are purchased from a reputable retailer.
