Notley Abbey is an utterly unique country house wedding venue on the Buckinghamshire – Oxfordshire border. This historic Buckinghamshire residence has a truly magical past – if its majestic medieval walls could talk they would tell of a millennium of the decadent celebrations of not only Hollywood royalty, but royalty itself.

Once the romantic home of Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh, Notley Abbey exudes timeless charm. This idyllic venue now hosts luxurious weddings for up to 250 guests, offering an unparalleled atmosphere of elegance and intimacy.

This beautiful country house wedding venue, alive with memories and history, is now uniquely available as an exclusive use wedding venue in which you can craft your perfect wedding day and create some lifelong memories of your own.

Begin your wedding journey in the Abbott's Hall, a space steeped in history. Once Sir Laurence Olivier’s drawing room, this intimate space features a hidden staircase leading to a 15th-century turret. Perfect for up to 110 seated guests, it provides a unique and romantic setting for your vows.
Continue the celebration in the grand Monks’ Refectory. With its barn-like architecture, floor-to-ceiling glass that floods the space with natural light, and glittering chandeliers that add a touch of glamour, this venue seamlessly blends centuries of history with modern sophistication. The Monks’ Refectory accommodates up to 164 guests for a ceremony or wedding breakfast and up to 250 for an evening reception.

For summer weddings, the Abbey’s grounds are a dream come true. A walled garden licensed for al fresco ceremonies and expansive gardens encircling the house provide countless stunning backdrops for your wedding photographs.

After a day of celebration, retreat to the luxurious Notley Suite, complete with a romantic four-poster bed just steps from the festivities. Your closest friends and family can join you, with eight additional beautifully appointed bedrooms available. The next morning, relive the joy of your wedding over breakfast with your nearest and dearest.
