The William Cecil

Standing on the edge of the historic Burghley Estate in the charming Lincolnshire town of Stamford, The William Cecil sets new standards. If you’ve imagined a luxury bridal suite with a private garden in quintessentially English surroundings, then The William Cecil is your ideal choice.

A beautiful garden marquee awaits or you can take your choice of three stunning reception rooms in the hotel itself. New for 2016 we are also offering outdoor wedding ceremonies in our romantic garden pavilion so you can experience your special day amongst the charm of the Cecil's beautiful garden including perfectly manicured lawn and rose covered archway.

At The William Cecil, our professional staff will work with you to put together your perfect wedding day. From the first time you visit the hotel to the last dance, we will tend to your every need and we’ll get to know you and your plans just as well as you do. We’ll find out exactly what you’re looking for and put together a personal plan and quote – no ‘price per head’ packages, no standard lists of what you must have. If you want to ask a question, we will be there to help you.
We don’t do hundreds of weddings. We’re not a wedding factory and you’re not a statistic.

We pride ourselves on tailoring each wedding to your bespoke needs. We want you and your guests to be hit with the ‘wow’ factor and enjoy the wonderful ambience of the hotel while sampling some of our two AA Rosette award winning cuisine.
