The Ballroom - Cornwell Manor

THE BALLROOM

The Ballroom

Seating up to 100 for a ceremony or 72 for a dinner, it is a beautiful classical space with a minstrels gallery perfect for a string quartet or a DJ. Why not return to the Ballroom after your wedding breakfast to dance the night away?

Designed by Clough Williams-Ellis in the late 1930’s, the Ballroom is a unique and elegant addition to Cornwell Manor, boasting an adjoining private walled garden with space for a marquee to seat up to 150 people.

The walls are adorned with two huge tapestries from “The Triumph of the Gods”, one, over six metres long, “The Triumph of Minerva” and the other “The Procession of Bacchus”. Above the carved oak fireplace is a vast bespoke mirror, of verre eglomisé, complementing the room with a truly romantic feel.

For help on booking your registrar for the ballroom, please contact the Oxford registry office.

We will never forget Cornwell Manor and the people who worked so hard to make our wedding the most magical occasion. From the pool party to the wedding, to the “Bon Voyage” brunch, there wasn’t a moment that didn’t exceed our wildest dreams for our wedding weekend! Charlotte & all the team were so wonderful and Cornwell Manor will forever be in our family’s heart!

Thank you so much for helping us to create the wedding of our dreams. Words cannot express how grateful Anna & I are to you all for making our house guests feel so welcomed and well fed, ensuring the house & gardens were picture perfect and for seamlessly coordinating the flow of venders. We couldn’t have asked for anything more!

August 2021, Blaine & Anna, Bride & Groom

Cornwell Manor was described by one of our guests as ‘the stuff dreams are made of’ and we thought pretty much the same. Charlotte and her team were fantastic hosts. Nothing was too much trouble, there was always somebody there when you had any query or panic, and the house becomes your home until you leave. The wedding itself was wonderful and went without a hitch, and the grounds had been prepared to perfection. Perfect, perfect, perfect.

June 2019, Judy, Mother of the Bride

We just celebrated our wedding at Cornwell Manor and what an amazing home, full of warmth & eccentricity! We couldn't have picked a better place – the gardens are exquisite and the staff & suppliers were all very helpful. Lenka is the most amazing chef. Thank you Charlotte for an experience we will never forget.

We celebrated our daughter’s magical wedding here – it was exceptional and we couldn’t have done it (in just 6 months) without Charlotte, who is a wonderful concierge & person. Thanks also to Lenka & Oly – the food during our stay was yummy!

September 2019, Ian & Gillian

Charlotte, you have been amazing from the very beginning when we first met right through to our special day. Thank you especially for accommodating our many requests and changes. We completely fell in love with Cornwell and its magic the moment we saw it. We have had the best few days of our lives sharing it all with our friends and family and will cherish the memories.

August 2019, Kate & Andy

Charlotte, Oly & Lenka - I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your help, kindness and patience over the weekend. It was a real success and would not have been so without you all! The delicious food (which all the guests were seriously impressed by), the constant fires burning in every room, and everyone's willingness to help with my various and random requests really made the event extra special! Cornwell Manor is the most amazing venue. Thank you.

Cornwell Manor provided so much more than the most beautiful setting for the perfect wedding. It became our home for the weekend and we loved the informality and the fun that we all had while we were there. In the months leading up to the wedding, nothing could have been too much trouble for Charlotte and the Cornwell team and ‘can do’ was always the mantra. Dream location, dream team, dream wedding - thank you!

Everything,from the chapel and beautiful surroundings,the wonderful staff, lead by Charlotte,who made the day perfection,and one that we will treasure always. Our thanks to Charlotte and her wonderful team.

July 2018, Andrew and Paddy Ward.

From the moment we first contacted you, 18 months ago, to plan Tali & Tom’s wedding, we have been made to feel one of your family at Cornwell Manor. The kindness and friendship shown to all of us, made this experience an absolute pleasure. We have felt so at home in the most glorious and glamorous setting and our guests were awed at every turn in the beautiful gardens and welcoming rooms and fireplaces. There was no request too great and your wonderful team went out of their way to fulfil our every whim. We are all so sad to leave, but take with us the most exquisite memories of the most incredible wedding of our daughter. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
