Frequently Asked Questions

As long as you love each other and want to get married here at KBH then everyone is welcome. (We want to live in a world where we remove this question from the list sooner rather than later as it’s ridiculous!)

We do, this list is made up of suppliers who we think are fantastic, they also do not pay us to be on this list, they are there due to their talent and professionalism.

Absolutely, our couples have access to the site the day before, usually between 12pm-4pm to decorate as you wish.

Of course, we just ask that any flame remains 1 metre or more away from any marquee lining.

Please note only reputable companies with the relevant insurance and ladder heights can hang things from our ceiling. We can of course recommend some of these to you if you need us to.

Hello, Great British Weather! We would use the House as our wet weather plan during the drinks and canapes reception (standing capacity is 200) and then the marquee for the wedding breakfast and dancing.

Of course, the more the merrier, especially for dancing. Our evening capacity for the marquee is 300 guests.

The guests will park on our Front Avenue, in our ample car park and can be left their overnight. We ask that they are collected by noon the day after your wedding.

Kingston Bagpuize House opens at 9am the morning of your event.

Our weddings end at midnight with all guests to be off site by 12.30am.

Our main rule is please do not wreck the House and Grounds! However, we ask that you let us know before you book any large décor items just in case they may end up being harmful to the House which is Grade 2 listed and Grounds.

Unfortunately, Kingston Bagpuize House is still a family home so no accommodation is available overnight. However, we can provide you with a list of local accommodations nearby.

Elegant Cuisine have been sole caterers on site here at KBH for 8 years and they are happy to provide any type of food that makes you happy. Be that 8 course fine dining to big BBQ options to share with guests or even to dainty afternoon tea, the EC team will find a menu perfect for you.

We do not offer corkage on site as we do not have the space to store it appropriately, however the Elegant Cuisine team will be able to build a wine and drinks package to your exact requirements with their long list of suppliers.

Absolutely, we love a band, however we do have a sound limiter in place in order to reduce the noise to our neighbours and local wildlife. We recommend up to a 6 piece band and that they have a chat with us directly before you confirm your booking with them.

Here at KBH we like to concentrate on looking after you all and tech is not our strong point so we do not have anything on site for couples to use. Most of our couples ask their band to supply these.

Yes! You can’t miss your chance for an iconic confetti shot. Please note that this needs to be natural petals or biodegradable. (Please check your glitter as well!)

One of our amazing team will be there to run your day and you will have met them several times before the big day.

Elegant Cuisine do offer private tastings, but these do come at an additional charge. However as a venue we host two food and wine tasting days a year which we encourage you to visit to get some inspiration on some of the fantastic food and wines you can choose. It’s a perfect way to spend an afternoon and visit the site again.

We have a large bedroom in the House that is accessible at 9am and can be used however you wish. We ask that either half of our couple use it and it not to be offered out to different guests.
