History

Although mid-Georgian in style and appearance, the manor house dates back at least to the 15th century, and it is known that by the 18th century a canal and a walled kitchen garden had been built at Hexton Manor. The decade between 1809 and 1819 saw many improvements, such as to the layout of the park and leisure grounds, development works on which continued up until 1869.

Hexton Parish is contained within the estate. The Ashley Cooper family purchased the estate 50 years ago and own it to this day.

Facilities

Exuding elegance from a bygone age, the manor house's Grand Hall is quite perfect for a lavish ceremony with up to 100 guests.

Civil Ceremony Capacity - 100 Guests

If an outdoor civil wedding is more your thing, and the mercurial British climate is favourable, opt for the veranda overlooking the lake where you may even get swans overlooking the proceedings! This area also is perfect for a ceremony with up to 100 guests.

Catering

The team at Hexton Manor have a list of preferred caterers and can match you with an appropriate company depending on your tastes. Or bring your own caterers along! This will also give you a free rein to personalise your wedding breakfast menu. Do you want an à la carte dinner or fish and chips, or how about a buffet or afternoon tea? Anything is indeed possible at Hexton Manor!

You are welcome to provide your own wines and other drinks until 7pm, after which a paying bar comes into operation - making it a little bit easier for you to keep track of during the evening reception party! The wedding hospitality team at Hexton Manor will be happy to expertly recommend the best choice of reception drinks, wines during the wedding breakfast and champagne for toasts.

Accommodation

There is no accommodation on site, but plenty in the local area, with the sizeable metropolitan town of Luton close by. The team particularly recommends the Hilton Garden Inn in Luton, where wedding guests at Hexton Manor can receive preferential rates.

Hexton Manor also enjoys a close association with Le Jardin Alpin, a specialist company renting out exclusive ski apartments and luxury chalets in Vaujany in the French Alps, if you fancy jetting off to the slopes from the nearby airport after your wedding day!
