A Palace Steeped in History
The palace has evolved over the centuries, blending Palladian, Greek Revival and Italianate architecture. From the grand entrance to the sweeping staircase inspired by the Vatican’s Scala Regia, the attention to detail is everywhere. High ceilings, intricate plasterwork, bespoke oak panelling and elegant fireplaces all provide a sophisticated backdrop for photos and evening receptions.

Inside the main house, guests are surrounded by centuries of history, where many of the original features have been beautifully preserved. Light floods through tall windows, highlighting the textures and details that make every corner picture-perfect. The four main halls and the grand staircase make stunning backdrops for photographs and ceremonies, while the bridal suite offers a calm space to get ready.

“We wanted to create a space where every couple feels like the only couple,” says Shofiq Alom, Managing Director. “Shrubland Palace isn’t just hired – it’s experienced. Every moment here becomes part of a living story.”

The Glass Pavilion
For larger weddings, the Glass Pavilion offers an unforgettable and airy space with a capacity of 1000 guests. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views of the estate, filling the room with natural light. The neutral décor provides the perfect canvas for personalised floral installations, table styling and other unique touches. It’s ideal for ceremonies, drinks receptions or evening celebrations. Couples love the flexibility it offers – whether it’s a summer wedding bathed in sunlight or a winter gathering glowing with candlelight, both feel truly magical.

From regal indoor ceremonies filled with grandeur and natural light to lavish banquets and cultural celebrations, every detail flows seamlessly from the palace’s historic halls to the contemporary Glass Pavilion.

Gardens Made for Romance
The gardens at Shrubland Palace are as much a part of the experience as the palace itself. The Middleton Garden, Victoria Garden and the Labyrinth Walk provide endless opportunities for outdoor ceremonies, cocktail hours or sunset photos. Deer wandering in the distance, winding paths and seasonal blooms create a magical atmosphere that changes with each season. Whether exchanging vows under a canopy of greenery, sipping champagne on the lawns, or capturing golden hour portraits amid autumn leaves, the grounds feel like a storybook setting.

Weddings as Unique as You
Shrubland Palace thrives on helping couples celebrate their day in a way that feels personal and effortless. The events team supports everything from ceremony layout and floral styling to menus and timings, ensuring the day runs smoothly without ever feeling staged.

Pre-wedding dinners, intimate family gatherings or grand receptions can all be tailored to your vision. From an elegant ceremony in the palace halls to a larger celebration in the Glass Pavilion or cocktails in the gardens at sunset, Shrubland Palace combines history, elegance and natural beauty for a truly unforgettable wedding.

Each year, only a select number of couples are chosen to celebrate here, ensuring every wedding remains personal and utterly exclusive.
