The old coach houses and stables have been renovated into a magnificent banqueting hall with seating for 130 people and a spacious mezzanine floor upstairs, where wedding ceremonies for up to 100 guests can take place.
The
restored Coach House is a dramatic combination of ancient and modern, with the
main hall dominated by a beautiful French tapestry and overlooked by a mezzanine
floor with glass balustrade, itself reached by a glass and oak staircase; the
mezzanine is ideal for wedding ceremonies for up to about 100 guests and the tables downstairs
can be
then be laid up and decorated in advance. It can also be
used for drinks before your wedding breakfast, for the orchestra
and dancing, or there are comfortable rattan chairs for sitting out. At the one
end of the mezzanine floor, there are French windows and a balcony overlooking
the historic carp pool with a stunning 30 foot water feature.
The hall is light and airy, as the huge original archway, through which the horse drawn coaches would once pass, is now glazed, giving magical views over the lawns and gardens and the 17th century dovecote. So many choices are here for those memorable wedding photographs - even a pretty, shaded arbour complete with a two seater swing! Most of the illumination in The Coach House is from spotlights in the roof, creating gentle reflected light; there are also two huge chandeliers, which can be decorated with flowers and trailing ivy.
The three original coach house doors are now glazed and, on warm summer evenings, slide open onto a flagstone terrace, bordered by the original cobbles, saved during the restoration of the courtyard; the original clock in the clock tower, made by Thomas Blakeway of Rushbury in 1753, still accurately chimes the hours. The Italian limestone floor is warmed by underfloor heating and part of the original stabling has been converted into a modern kitchen.
Fees for exclusive use of The Coach House are set out below and include the spectacular Bridal Suite, overlooking The Coach House and the lakes, for the bride and groom for the wedding night. A commercial kitchen, tables and chairs are also included in the price.

A quote from the
bridegroom of our first wedding
"Delbury
provided a beautiful venue for our wedding. It offered us many attractive
views and areas, as well as modern and well designed facilities that helped
everything run perfectly on the day. Our wedding really was the perfect day,
and we would like to thank you for providing such a memorable place in which
to have it.
We received so many comments from our guests on how beautiful the grounds
were. A striking aspect of Delbury as a wedding venue was the abundance of
attractive areas on site. As well as providing many relaxing environments
for our guests to enjoy themselves, it also offered a variety of locations
for photographs, without requiring our bridal party to move far from their
guests.
The mezzanine floor and the courtyard offered us extra areas to use for food
service and dancing, which meant that we were able to have our ceremony,
photographs, reception and our accommodation all on site, without anything
being compromised."
