Weddings at Hampden House
In the heart of the beautiful Chiltern Hills, this quintessentially English country house provides the perfect setting for your wedding day.
Licensed for civil weddings, ceremonies can be held in one of three locations within the House, including the wonderfully ornate Great Hall.

This magnificent house with 1,000 years of history is one of the most sought after wedding venues in the county and has nearly 20 years experience in delivering exclusive weddings. Set in 300 acres of privately-owned grounds, complete with exquisitely tended lawns and a tree-lined driveway, Hampden House is offered to you exclusively for your wedding day.
With wedding day options ranging from all-inclusive packages to bespoke choices, the team at Hampden House are prepared to assist you in any way they can to make your day as special as possible.
