Your big day

Congratulations to you both.

Getting married is a wonderful experience; perhaps the most important day of your life. Thank you for considering us for your big day.

I want you to choose a venue you trust to be worth it – and I hope that’s us. Here at Edgbaston Park Hotel you’ll find a charming historic venue – or a bigger modern space if that’s more your style. You’ll enjoy great food, chosen by you. And the whole experience will come with the support of a wedding team who work here because they love to make people happy.

We’d love to show you around. Take a look through this brochure, then come and see for yourself.

Kind regards,

Richard MetcalfeGeneral Manager, Edgbaston Park Hotel and Conference Centre

OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATION

Your Hornton Grange wedding package includes a romantic night’s stay in a double deluxe room with original features and bespoke furniture. You’ll have exclusive use of the other five bedrooms, including those suitable for families.

Book the Fry Suite package, and you’ll enjoy a night in a spacious executive double, including bathrobes, slippers and space to unwind.

With 185 bedrooms at Edgbaston Park Hotel, your guests can relax into the evening, sleep soundly, and enjoy breakfast with you the next morning. Parking is free for all residents.

We’re happy to hold bedrooms at our special wedding accommodation rates on a no-obligation basis for you, for up to six weeks prior to your special day.

Why not make a weekend of it?

A private dinner or buffet the night before your wedding means you can spend quality time with loved ones. Then wake up here, refreshed and ready, with no travelling to do.

We’ll extend the special wedding accommodation rates to the night before (and even the night after), so you and your guests can genuinely relax and feel at home.
