An enchanting country estate and family residence, Davenport House is exclusively yours on your special day. Set amidst picturesque Shropshire countryside, this idyllic Georgian house was extensively refurbished in 2017. Now you can step inside this magical venue and make yourself at home, celebrating your wedding day surrounded by its history, warmth and elegance. Entering this great house through the magnificent double doors, you might choose to say ‘I do’ in The Great Hall. Brimming with character, this is the very heart of the home and the perfect place in which to say your vows. Alternatively, marry in another of the great rooms, or between the pillars on the front steps of Davenport House for a truly unique setting. The Great Hall leads through to the beautiful Saloon with its marquetry floor. It is here that you might enjoy welcome drinks and canapés along with breathtaking views over the lawns beyond. Outside, the terrace, lily pond and secluded secret garden provide a sublime setting in which to mingle with a glass of fizz on warmer days. The Drawing Room lures your guests in to dine, with original panelling painted in elegant ‘tea green’. The specialist on-site wedding event planners and expert caterers will work closely with you to help create the most spectacular day, complete with stunning wedding food and drink. As day turns to evening, The Great Hall becomes your dance floor, while guests might also choose to relax in The Saloon or The Drawing Room. Four luxurious en-suite bedrooms, including a plush honeymoon suite and impressive breakfast area, are located in the main house, while four cottages in the grounds offer self-catering accommodation. A further cottage, The Stable, is offered as your bridal preparation area. From intimate to lavish, and from contemporary style to the more traditional, Davenport House is your country estate that can make your dream wedding a reality.

Wedding: October

What a day, what a place.

Our very real thanks to you and all at Davenport House — not to mention Tom Kerridge — for the the brilliant, outstanding , exceptional Davenport House wedding of our daughter, Lyndsey, and our now son in law Conor. Davenport House location and grounds were delightful, the setting and house interior magnificent, the bedrooms extra special, the bridal suite luxurious, the adjacent Cottages spaciously comfortable. And the food, throughout the day was exceptional... the wedding breakfast even better than that, with thanks to Lush and Tom Kerridge. In the planning, preparations, guidance and support Davenport House were top notch... available, attentive, responsive. Service on the day, again, exceptional. What a day, what a place. Thanks to one and all.

The most perfect wedding/reception venue

The most perfect wedding/reception venue. My sister in law had her reception here and had a truly memorable day. The house is stunning, the staff are incredible and just can’t do enough for you, the food was out of this world (the best wedding breakfast I think I’ve ever had) and the attention to detail is simply overwhelming.

Absolute wedding perfection!

It was love at first sight when we came to Davenport House and it was equally amazing when we got married here yesterday. The staff were brilliant, the food faultless, and the setting so beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue to get married. Thank you so much for making our day so special.

My client was married at Davenport House at the end of September 2018. From the very beginning Lizzie, Verity and team were very welcoming and a dream to work alongside. On the day itself Verity was attentive, professional and organised - making my job a lot easier! I would definitely recommend choosing Davenport House as a wedding venue - the sheer beauty alone should be enough to sway you - add on the amazing staff and you've got yourself one of the best venues in the country! I know it's certainly on my list for when I *eventually* get married!
