The ceremony

At Goodnestone Park, there are various options for your wedding ceremony. Traditional church ceremonies are available in the village church, the Church of Holy Cross, which is a short walk from the estate. Civil ceremonies on the estate are also possible.

The Round Room in the house can accommodate up to 30 people. Its distinctive and intricately painted panels and double doors open onto the gardens and set the perfect scene for your service. For an al fresco ceremony, the Portico at the front of the house will provide a beautiful background. For larger ceremonies, the grand setting of the Coach House is also an option for up to 100 people.
