About
Hedsor House is a stunning Georgian country home set within 100 acres of elegant (and Grade II listed) parkland, only 40 minutes from London. Exclusive and utterly private, Hedsor is steeped in history, heralded by the hands-on Shepard family for almost a century. On a bright spring day, sunlight pours through the striking Centre Hall dome, illuminating the house’s classical interiors, while the sweeping South Lawns frame panoramic views of the Thames Valley, offering a dramatic backdrop for outdoor ceremonies. Couples enjoy exclusive hire of the house and gardens, luxury accommodation for up to 26 guests, and The Hive – a distinctive three-bedroom octagonal cottage inspired by local beehives. Guests awaken the next morning to a home-cooked breakfast, enjoying a leisurely start to their day amid the tranquillity of the estate. The Hedsor team blends meticulous attention to detail with genuine warmth, often noted by couples, ensuring every wedding runs seamlessly. Sustainability is at the heart of the estate, from rewilded grounds, honeybees, and Highland cattle to tree-planting initiatives, solar panels, and electric car charging points. Couples can also opt for eco-conscious versions of wedding packages, should they choose, creating celebrations that are both beautiful and mindful.

Testimonials
There are not enough stars to cover what we would give this most beautiful place. Hedsor House and estate is, without question, one of the most beautiful places we have ever known. Perfection resides in every polished surface, in every sweeping view, in every quiet corner where history and romance linger. But beyond its splendour, Hedsor offers something priceless: it welcomes you into its romantic story. Here, you do not simply host an event; you become part of a centuries-old love story that you want to read over and over again. The estate radiates a beauty so exquisite that we knew, without hesitation, that no other venue could possibly hold our special day. Hedsor exceeded every expectation we had. And so, though “thank you” feels achingly insufficient, it is offered with the deepest sincerity and a lifetime’s worth of gratitude. Hedsor have given us a gift that will echo through the years: a perfect day, in a perfect place, surrounded by perfect people.

If you’re searching for a venue, congratulations! Your search has ended, because nothing can top this one. Hedsor House is the most phenomenal place. I had my wedding here in September 2025, and where do I even begin? Firstly, the grounds are STUNNING. Then you enter the house which is simply breathtaking – the perfect blend of tradition and modernity. Upstairs, the accommodation had us in awe. The bridal suite is absolute perfection (don’t get me started on the bridal bathroom because I could write chapter and verse on that too), and the rooms are each so beautifully designed. It was so lovely to have such amazing rooms where my husband and I could stay with our family the night of the wedding. My bridesmaids and I also stayed in The Hive the day before, and it was so handy being on the grounds already, as it’s a two-minute drive up to the main house, not to mention it’s the most adorable cosy cottage! However, what truly makes this place special is the Hedsor team. Every person I came into contact with during the process and on the wedding day was just the warmest and loveliest person, not to mention excellent at their job.The Duty Managers were also incredible, such kind and lovely people, going so far as to help me take off my heels and slip my flats on in the evening when I was away from everyone! They all just went above and beyond; I cannot thank everyone enough. Both during and after the wedding, I kept hearing from my guests how in awe they were of the venue. It was simply perfect. If I had to do it all over again, I’d pick Hedsor every time. Honestly, I’m just not sure what could top this. I feel so lucky to have had my wedding here.
