The feel
Marden Park is a magnificent mansion set in a 700 acre estate in a peaceful valley in Surrey, designated an area of outstanding natural beauty. A wedding booked at Marden Park ensures that it is your own country mansion for the day and is exclusively yours until midnight.
We offer rooms licensed for Civil ceremonies, from the wooden panelled Goddard Room to the more intimate Stephens Room, a Chapel with stained glass windows for Roman Catholic ceremonies, as well as offering the perfect venue for your wedding reception.
The Grounds immediately around the House are included in your exclusive use and are popular for the drinks reception. They also provide a stunning backdrop for photographs of your special day. Features include the pergola walk, carved stone benches and a fountain pond.
Our professional in-house catering team offer a silver service wedding breakfast, with a wide range of attractive menus and pride themselves on their flexible approach.
