When you think about the most special day of your life you think of the person who you are destined to be with, your guests, the dress, the food, the running order of the day, the list can go on. However, once you step inside Stowe House you will not have to think about finding the perfect setting for your wedding…you will have found it…
Stowe House is a 17th Century Ducal Palace and is unique in its grandeur and style. Holding no more than 15 weddings per year, the individuality and elegance of Stowe will provide the perfect setting you deserve on the most special day of your life.
We offer a choice of breath-taking State Rooms and can help you to optimise the different spaces you select. Ceremonies and wedding breakfasts can be held in the Music Room, exquisitely decorated by Vincenzo Valdrè, or The Marble Saloon inspired by the Pantheon in Room. The State Dining Room whose natural lighting and intricate ceiling provide a stunning backdrop for a wedding breakfast and the Temple Room acts as a great dancing and bar area for your evening party with plenty of room for moonwalks and slow dances alike. For more intimate celebrations, the recently restored Blue Room and its distinct Damask Silk walls is an idyllic space for smaller wedding parties.
Feel the elegance of days gone by as you walk through the magnificent floor to ceiling doors onto our South Portico. You and your guests can enjoy drinks and canapés on the South Portico, overlooking the Octagon Lake, Corinthian Arch and rolling Buckinghamshire countryside as far the eye can see. Gather all your friends and family on the steps leading down from the South Portico for a fantastic photo opportunity with the entirety of the House behind you all.
Once on the grounds you and your guests can enjoy garden games, relax and enjoy the view or make use of the access to the National Trust grounds for photos. Most of the grounds were designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown and, to this day, they cement Stowe as the first and finest landscaped gardens in England.
The House dates in parts from 1676. Following its extension, it became a popular aristocratic visiting place, culminating in the visit of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1845. Since becoming a boarding school in 1923, Stowe has continued to attract pupils from across the world to receive their education in one of England’s finest settings.

February 2025Very beautiful gardens and they are great for dog walks, and picnics. The area is vast and has long beautiful scenery. There is ample parking spaces, but the car park is a 10-20 minute walk to the house, but its still a lovely walk.

March 2025We came for the walks, so did not visit the house (an additional £7.50 if a National Trust member). There are many different grass and gravel paths which pass a variety of structures and statues. These paths are dog friendly. The facilities are also excellent with a large cafe, National Trust shop, and largest number of used books we've seen (in two parts: one in the pantry rooms and a second just before the cafe). The car park is large and includes many accessible and electric spaces. Toilets near the front are clean.

March 2025Just had a lovely afternoon at Stowe Garden! The grounds are absolutely stunning, perfect for a wander. We especially enjoyed the lake and all the quirky temples. It's a huge place, so wear comfy shoes! Great for families, couples, or anyone who just wants to get some fresh air and beautiful views. Definitely worth a visit.

March 2025Stowe is one of my favourite NT visits! The grounds are maintained so well. It is a great place to visit all year around. It is particularly nice in spring. I would definitely recommend Stowe for dog walking. There's so much to explore, especially for dogs. The cafe is really good too, lots of space, indoors and outside, so plenty of areas to chill out and eat whilst with your dog.

March 2025Lovely National Trust site with all the facilities you could want. Note that the House is not included! It has the normal NT cafe with a variety of hot food options. Ample car parking available also as well as EV chargers. EV charging max speed was 21kwh and is chargeable via charge cards as well. The ground themselves are a short work form the entrance and cafe. Note that you may need to tell the people y the grounds entrance you've already scanned in. There are toilets at the entrance but not many/if any on the main gardens. The house itself is separate to NT and requires a separate membership or ticket to enter.
