“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.”

For your wedding day, nothing could fulfil your dreams

more than Goodwood House, with its lavishly appointed

State Apartments opening out onto the romantic vistas of

a l and s c aped pa rk , and a l l th e sub t l e and we l coming

in t imacy o f a f ami l y home . As you sweep up the l ong

drive in a beautiful car to the elegant classical portico of

the House, Goodwood’s butler will greet you at the door

and escort you into the Front Hall – the State Apartments

a r e y o u r s e x c l u s i v e l y f o r t h e d a y.

The State Apartments reflect the history, classicism and

luxury of the Regency period, but with today’s comfort,

style and flexibility. Two rooms are licensed for civil

ceremonies and each one has its own distinctive style and

history. For its sheer breathtaking beauty and elegance,

the Yellow Drawing Room is a stunning setting for your

special day. You can walk down the aisle in the company

o f your f r i ends and f ami ly in the o rna t e ma j e s ty o f th i s g lo r i ous room.

A ceremony in the Egyptian Dining Room is all about

romance and i s epitomised by exot ic glamour. Embark

on the adventure and passion of marriage from this room,

un ique in Eng land , and adorned wi th go ld , r i ch s i lk

drapes and classical ornament. You and your guests will

revel in the magic of the room – a memorable backdrop

to the mos t impor t an t d ay o f you r l i f e .







T H E P A R T Y O F A L I F E T I M E

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.
