For a truly unforgettable wedding what better place to get married than the former home of a romantic poet?
We love Newstead Abbey, Nottinghamshire – Its one of those venues that when you approach it, you just have to say ‘wow’!
Newstead Abbey has so much to offer and can cater for every type of wedding, be in an intimate wedding with only a few guests to a huge wedding. Its grounds, both front and back are stunning and the possibilities for photographs are endless!
The last time we were there is was absolutely FREEZING!! Still, our bride Emily was desperate to take advantage of the beautiful building for her photos so she wrapped up warm and headded outside into the -6 degrees cold and didn’t complain once!
Here is some information from the Newstead Abbey website: www.newsteadabbey.org.uk
Civil Ceremonies
Civil ceremonies at Newstead take place in the Orangey. Originally the south transept of the Priory Church, the Orangey got its name from the Byron family, who purchased the Newstead estate from Henry VIII in 1540, and converted the transept into a room for growing citrus fruits. The Orangey’s ornate plaster ceiling, crystal chandelier and large windows with beautiful garden views beyond make the Orangey a delightful wedding venue.
Chapel Ceremonies
Newstead Abbey houses a Chapel with an active congregation that may be used for wedding ceremonies. Please note that couples wishing to get married in the Chapel must either live in or have obvious ties with the Parish.

Drinks receptions
Drinks receptions can be held immediately after the ceremony in the Garden room - a quiet, cool and peaceful space that is ideal for your guests to congregate in, while you are having those all-important photographs taken. The decor of the Garden Room is a light cream, so your own colour scheme may be introduced to the room if required. Drinks may be served in the Garden Room, where your guests can mingle and make use of the adjoining French Garden.
Receptions
Newstead Abbey has two distinctive reception rooms available for hire; the stylish West Front Suite offers stunning views of Newstead Abbey’s breathtaking facade, while the Cascade Room has magnificent views over the lake, and is perfect for more intimate wedding receptions.
