HORWOOD E STAT E
WELCOME
Built in 1911, De Vere Horwood Estate holds over a century’s worth of memories and your wedding could be one of them.
Formerly home to the distinguished family of Mr Denny, a keen gardener who was passionate
about the display of his grounds, this 38 acre private estate of manicured gardens is a gem
of the Buckinghamshire countryside.
At its heart lies the Manor House, a beautiful building of russet brickwork and decorative
windows, all set beneath a traditionally gabled roof. Dignified yet charming, this house and its
surrounding parklands make the perfect location for a wedding day with style and sophistication.

MANOR LOUNGE
Situated in the original Manor House, the Manor Lounge promises to lend a sense of grandeur to your drinks reception or ceremony. Its stately proportions, traditional décor and large windows radiate light and character, never failing to impress wedding groups of up to 90 guests. Meanwhile, the private bar offers an element of exclusivity, ensuring your day is special to you.
EYRE SUITE
If you’re looking for something a little more intimate, the Eyre Suite is ideal for smaller wedding parties of up to 100 guests. Located within our modern wing, it offers a bright and neutral space conveniently close to the main lounge bar, patio and gardens, so everything you need for your big day will be easily within reach.
COOK SUITE
The Cook Suite is a refreshing blank canvas, giving you the freedom to tailor its appearance to suit a theme that’s unique to you. It has a private bar and plenty of space for your party to enjoy the celebrations. And because it’s well situated with the leisure facilities and bedroom area nearby, you won’t have far to go at the end of the evening.
PYTHEAS GARDENS
A hidden oasis which sits within the estate’s private rural grounds, our charming pagoda is a memorable setting for an outdoor wedding. The lily pond creates a picturesque focal point, while the manicured lawns provide a stunning backdrop, both for your ceremony and for photographs.

OUTDOOR CEREMONIES
If you’re planning on holding an outdoor ceremony we ask you to choose one of our indoor rooms as a back-up venue. This is to make sure we have an alternative space that you’re happy with if the weather disappoints on the day. The final decision as to whether a ceremony can take place outside is always up to the registrar. However, this need only be made an hour or so beforehand.
CHINESE LANTERNS , F IREWORKS AND CONFETTI
Unfortunately, due to safety reasons, we can’t allow Chinese lanterns or fireworks on our grounds. Sparklers however are always welcome to add a bit of magic to your evening.
Guests are also welcome to throw natural petals or biodegradable confetti in any of our outside areas, but not inside.
