Eleanor
Events manager
Plans every wedding from the first viewing and runs the day, so you never look at a clock.
Two hundred and forty years of evenings.
A Georgian family house, restored room by room and opened for weddings in 2019. Still a home, still lit by candles.
Scene I · Our story
A house that loves a party.
Ashenfold was built in 1786 as a family home, with long windows facing south over the park and a hall made for dancing. Two centuries of weddings, christenings and Christmas parties followed.
When we restored it, we kept what mattered: the oak panelling, the old glass in the Orangery and the habit of lighting every candle before guests arrive. Today we host one wedding a day, so the house is only ever yours.
