If you choose a civil marriage ceremony, we have a variety of options for between 40 and 110 guests.
There is a £250 hire charge for all ceremonies at Easthampstead Park*. This allows you to have an outdoor or indoor ceremony.
* Not applicable when using the Syrett Suite THE WEDDING PAVILION As you prepare to walk down the 50 metre aisle, your guests will be seated awaiting your arrival while your choice of music plays in the background.
At the end of the aisle, walk over the little bridge into the beautiful pavilion. Intricate hand-made lamp shades light the pergola with fairy lights twinkling in preparation for your wedding ceremony. The Wedding Pavilion at Easthampstead Park is stunning – probably one of the best outdoor ceremony venues around.
(In case of bad weather, a wedding room will always be ready inside the Easthampstead Park mansion.) THE TERRACE ROOM This room is next to the main lounge with access directly on to the rear terrace area.
It has a traditional wooden floor, airy décor, wood panelling and views on to the formal gardens and fountain.
The Terrace Room can host a maximum of 110 guests.
TAWNEY / ORANGERY ROOMS This room is split, with the ceremony taking place in the Orangery Room, and further guests in the Tawney Room.
The rooms have views to the croquet lawn and a door leading directly into the gardens.
They can host up to 80 guests (30 in the Orangery and a further 50 in the Tawney).
THE SYRETT SUITE The main ceremony room can seat 56 guests. It is tastefully decorated with large windows facing towards the sundial lawn.
The Syrett Suite must be booked directly with Bracknell Forest Registrars Service www.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/ venuesforcivilmarriagesandpartnershipsinourdistrict or call 01344 352004. Photo: www.kevinbrowne-photography.com Photo: www.summers-photography.co.uk Drinks and Canapés

Some drinks, perhaps with a few canapés, are perfect while photographs are taken to capture lasting memories of your special day.
