Tabley House provides a unique and beautiful setting for a wedding. To help you plan the day we have provided information on providers of wedding services, ideas for catering and a booking form. The maximum number of guests that can be accommodated for a ceremony in the Gallery is 100. Tabley House can also be used for baby or child naming ceremonies and for the renewal of marriage vows. Please discuss your requirements with the Administrator (01565 750151) any Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday, in the afternoon.

While Tabley provides the location, it does not make all the other arrangements. There is no onsite, overnight accommodation available at Tabley. We are prepared to pass on the names of people who have contacted us regarding their services for weddings but cannot take responsibility for the end results. A list is shown below. If you would like information on Accommodation, Cars, Carriages or Musicians please consult the Administrator at Tabley (01565 750151)

If you wish to view Tabley, please telephone the Administrator in advance to make an appointment.

The return of the Booking Form SIGNED ON THE REVERSE and £300 Deposit will secure your date - subject to our prior agreement on availability.

REGISTRAR: Please fix a date with us before contacting the Registrar (08451 400132).
