About Prestwold Hall – A Relaxed & Elegant Wedding Venue in Leicestershire
If you’re looking for a wedding venue that feels elegant but not stuffy, Prestwold Hall might just tick all the boxes. Tucked away in the Leicestershire countryside, this Grade I listed stately home is all about grandeur on the outside, but warmth and charm on the inside. It’s the kind of place where you can sip champagne on the lawns, dance under chandeliers, and still feel totally at ease.
Why Couples Love It
The vibe – Prestwold Hall has that perfect mix of “wow” factor and homeliness. Yes, it’s grand with its sweeping staircase and stunning dining rooms, but it never feels over-the-top or intimidating.
Ceremonies – You can say your vows in the elegant Drawing Room, or if you’re feeling outdoorsy, the gardens are licensed too. The outdoor ceremonies are amazing in summer – nothing beats saying “I do” surrounded by green fields and big open skies.
Food & drink – These guys know how to put on a feast. From canapés on the lawn to a full sit-down meal, the in-house catering team really takes pride in serving up incredible food.
Exclusivity – When you book Prestwold, it’s all yours for the day. No random tourists, no sharing the space – just you, your guests, and a stately home to play in.
Guest experience – The flow of the rooms works brilliantly. Drinks in the Library or gardens, dinner in the Dining Room, then dancing in the Evening Room – it feels effortless.
Things to Keep in Mind
Guest numbers – The hall is great for medium to large weddings, but if you’re planning something super tiny, the scale of the place might feel a bit much.
Accommodation – There are a handful of gorgeous bedrooms onsite, plus lots of options nearby for guests. Just make sure to book early if you’ve got a big crowd.
Style – Prestwold already has plenty of character. You don’t need to go wild with décor – sometimes less is more here.
LGBTQ+ Friendly Weddings
Prestwold Hall is a welcoming and inclusive venue, making it a great choice for LGBTQ+ couples. The team are used to tailoring celebrations to reflect each couple’s personality, so whether you’re planning something traditional or completely offbeat, they’ll help you make it happen.
Top Tips
Sneak outside for golden hour – the gardens are dreamy in that soft evening light.
Don’t forget the staircase – it’s iconic for those “just married” shots.
Keep it simple – the Hall already looks incredible, so let it shine.
Final Thought
Prestwold Hall is perfect if you want a wedding that feels elegant without being overly formal. It’s got history, beauty, and a touch of grandeur – but most importantly, it’s the kind of place where you can truly relax and enjoy the day with your favourite people.
