We’re award-winning, family-owned and female-founded –
and our home truly is your home. We host a limited number of weddings each year, creating a beautifully bespoke and exclusive experience for each and every couple.
From the moment we hand you the keys, our private house is yours.
A HOUSE
with HISTORY
Every exquisite detail, from our interiors to our fragrance, is intentional.
Step into a house adorned with classic Victorian touches, from full height bay windows to beautiful panelling and airy high ceilings. Dappled sunlight floods across rich wooden floors, while organic shapes meet crisp clean lines. Wander through lush green English gardens, breathing in fresh lavender and fragrant herbs.

We host timeless weddings for intentional couples seeking authenticity and intimacy. Weddings at The Old Vicarage include exclusive use of the whole house and grounds – so your day is entirely your own.

“Wow, what a special place! From the moment we entered at one of the open days we knew this was the one. The building itself is absolutely stunning, with beautiful decor and surroundings, but what makes TOV the incredible wedding venue it is, is the amazing team behind the scenes.”
“They were nothing short of amazing in the lead up to our wedding day, always welcoming, always smiling and nothing was too much for them. We worked mainly with Laura and Chelsea, who were always extremely prompt in responding to emails, had lots of tips on what would and wouldn’t work well, and really helped with what can be quite an overwhelming experience. The recommended suppliers (especially Mark) were great also!”
“Our wedding was absolutely perfect, everything ran like clockwork, and our guests were really wowed by the venue, the food and all of the little touches.”
“The bedrooms at TOV are also amazing, not only is the bridal suite incredible, but each and every room has been tastefully decorated, with luxury in mind. The team work tirelessly to continuously update and decorate the venue with timeless touches.
Really, we would love to move in?! Words just cannot describe how great it all is. Thank you all so much for the most beautiful day. We are beyond thrilled to have chosen TOV for our special day.”
