The morning of your wedding day is alive with the hopes and dreams of you and your
family. After months of waiting for this one special day, you can really relax and enjoy
yourself, savouring the memorable hours of celebration, joy and happiness ahead of
you. As you get ready for the most significant day of your life, your sense of excitement

We want your wedding to be perfect. As one mother of a Goodwood bride recently wrote:
“Our choice of Goodwood House was the best decision we ever made. We have been
inundated with expressions of amazement and wonder at the delight of the wedding.
Goodwood was not only a wonderful setting for our celebration but also provided us
with some very cherished memories which will endure for a very long time to come.”

After the high emotion of the ceremony, relax and unwind
with your guests as you enjoy drinks in the Front Hall or
on the expansive lawns in front of the House. Once you
have greeted your family and friends, the fun can really
begin with your wedding breakfast. Let our butler guide
you and your guests into the sumptuous magnificence of
the Ballroom, which will take your breath away and give
you the fairytale ending to the wedding day of which you always dreamed. Luxuriate
in Regency splendour, whi le a s t r ing quartet serenades you f rom the minstre l s ’
gallery. As you delight in the soft candlelight, you can look forward to exquisite
food, expertly cooked for you and served by friendly, courteous and conscientious
sta f f . We want you to be thoroughly enchanted by the rhapsody of this room.
With dinner over, you and your guests can dance the night away in the adjacent Supper
Room, to the accompaniment of a live band or DJ. Goodwood is still very much a family
home, and it has a wonderfully intimate atmosphere which makes it the perfect place for
you to be surrounded by everyone you love f rom
your immediate family to your c losest f r iends .
You can spend quiet time catching up with old
friends over tea in the Ballroom, or simply stroll out
onto the lawns to enjoy the serenity of moonlight.
