Denman is an historic Georgian manor house set in seventeen acres of beautiful grounds only 20 minutes from the centre of Oxford. We can offer the perfect venue for your wedding ceremony and reception, from 5 to 90 people for a formal wedding breakfast, up to 120 for an evening reception. Evening reception numbers can be increased to 200 by erecting a marquee in the grounds. Accommodation for your wedding party is available on site and there is ample free car parking.
On the catering front, Denman offers true flexibility with the option to select a package or to design your own menu. Our professional caterers aim to make your experience something to really savour, with mouth-watering ingredients sourced from local suppliers and a wide range of seasonal recipes. We are also happy to stock the bar with your chosen tipple or you can provide your own for a small corkage charge.
Denman can be hired on a room only basis or for exclusive use, but either way we guarantee to only hold one wedding at Denman per day, so you won’t be bumping into any other brides, and we have a dedicated event organiser who will be available to guide you through the planning process every step of the way.
Let your happily ever after begin at Denman.
