Civil Ceremonies at Stowe
Stowe has three beautiful rooms licensed for Civil Ceremonies:

• The Music Room, exquisitely decorated by Valdre, is truly one of the jewels of Stowe's interiors. This room will seat up to 100 guests for a civil ceremony.
• The Marble Saloon is a spectacular elliptical hall, inspired by the Pantheon in Rome. The Saloon doors can remain open throughout the ceremony, offering the view of the stunning Octagon Lake and Corinthian Arch as the back drop to your ceremony. The Marble Saloon will seat up to 200 guests for a civil ceremony.
• The Blue Room is the obvious choice for a smaller, intimate ceremony, seating up to 40 guests.

All of the rooms benefit from spectacular views across rolling Buckinghamshire parkland and the Octagon Lake.

Following the ceremony we are happy to provide a full wedding breakfast and evening reception or a simple drinks reception.

We can offer assistance and advice in all aspects of planning your civil ceremony, from the initial contact with the local registrars to the booking of live music and flowers.
