More about Crondon Park and what it has to offer you.

Originally the estate was owned by the Orr Family who farmed Crondon Valley for many years. The estate was then taken over by the Fox Family who redeveloped the estate and opened on the 31st May 1994. They have never looked back since! At the Wedding Secret we had the delight of speaking with owner Stuart Fox, who by all accounts is a self proclaimed perfectionist and entrepreneur. Stuart took delight in telling us about Crondon Park and its exceptional facilities with such passion. What is clear from the conversation is that Stuart and the team are undeniably focussed on providing couples with their dream day, with no couple leaving unhappy. Many long standing members of the team ensure everything runs like clockwork whilst also striving for more and more for their valued couples.

Golf

Not only a premier wedding venue, Crondon Park has many strings to its bow. The estate is also home to one of the most formidable golf courses, set within luscious parkland and surrounded by 20,000 trees. Pre wedding game of golf anyone?!

    I really don't know where to start. Crondon park done everything and more for our wedding, from the first time viewing the venue until the day after our wedding we were met with friendly, helpful staff who couldn't have done more. The place looked amazing, exactly how we wanted it to, they really do make your wedding day everything you could hope for. The food was superb and everyone agreed, the service was just as good. Communication was a breeze and whatever questions we had were answered within the day. The whole package cannot be faulted. And as for Tracy wow!!

It will remain a place dear to our hearts.
