Aynhoe Park is the most theatrical country-house venue we work in. Baroque ceilings, taxidermy in the dining room, candlelight as the default lighting plan, and a guest experience that rewards couples who lean fully into the venue's character.
60 to 200 across the house and marquee

Wedding briefs at Aynhoe lean strongly toward couples who want a venue with visible personality. The Grand Hall holds 120 for dinner; the marquee on the lawn handles 200 with full production. The library, the morning room, and the conservatory all hold smaller-scale moments (cocktail receptions, after-dinner programming, an inner-ring breakfast the morning after).
Production at Aynhoe needs an experienced producer. The kitchen is functional but not generous; bring a caterer who knows the building. Accommodation is twelve rooms on the estate; the Lamb Inn at Burford takes another 20. Music curfew is 22:30 outdoors with the neighbours notified.
Aynhoe is at its strongest for weddings between September and May — autumn and winter weddings where the venue's interior character does the visual work that summer light handles elsewhere. Spring and summer work too, but the venue rewards lower light.
A thirty-minute call. We'll tell you within the week whether we're the right house for the brief — and which other venues might be worth a look.
