Looking to get married just outside of London?

One of the biggest highlights from 2023 without a shadow of a doubt was Bella + Stuart’s Stoke Place wedding. It was a day centred around the closest of family and friends just coming together, celebrating and having the most incredible day. One of the most memorable moments was in the evening when the wedding party auctioned off Stuarts tie (in three pieces). Stuart even got up with the live band to do an Abba cover for Bella (massive husband points). Stoke Place Hotel (part of the Cairn Collection) is situated in Buckinghamshire, about 25 miles outside London.

The Perfect Setting For A Natural + Relaxed Wedding

A Stoke Place wedding was the absolute perfect choice for Bella + Stuart who were after a fun and relaxed setting for their wedding day. Soft colour palettes and a slight rustic charm put all the focus on the couple and what everyone was there for, to celebrate with Bella + Stuart! It was also a day of sharing - with Bella’s Danish heritage there were lots of little opportunities to learn about how the Danish like to do weddings. We will never forget when the first dance had finished, and the men closest to the groom picked him up to take off his shoes and then proceeded to cut the toes off his socks. Stuart ended up walking around with no shoes or socks on for ages! See below for evidence.
