Weddings and galas on the Derwent
A ballroom for 380, a pier built for ceremonies at civil dusk, and an events studio that has produced three hundred weddings without repeating one.
The estate becomes yours for a day
Ceremony on the pier, cocktails on the lawn, dinner in the ballroom and a midnight swim if the season allows — the estate sequences the day so the couple never sees logistics.
Our in-house studio handles styling, florals, lighting and the run sheet; the kitchen writes a menu around your story rather than handing you a banquet card.
What the rate covers
Every package carries the same skeleton — the day runs on our choreography, not your clipboard.

One pier, one ballroom, one day
Three hundred weddings in, the formula stays the same: the river does the decorating.
