Norwood Park, Exclusive Hire

Norwood Hall, my favourite place! The moment we saw Norwood we knew we had found our wedding venue. We loved the staircase as you enter and gold & white elements throughout, it felt royal! Firstly, I would like to thank Richard. He initially showed us around the venue and was there throughout our booking process, so to find out he would be with us on the day meant a lot to me. Richard is professional, knowledgeable and kind. He is excellent at his job and we are very lucky to have had him with us through our wedding planning process. He made me laugh! He made me feel at ease, and he is an amazing dress fluffer! The team as a whole are so kind and helpful. Replies were prompt, nothing was too much of an ask. They personalised our requests to involve Jamaican elements such as rum punch welcome drinks. The team really do want to ensure you have the wedding of your dreams and the support we still receive from them is lovely! Norwood felt like our home for the day & the staff felt like family! I would also like to thank Katie whose passion shines through (I hope you have a lovely wedding, not long now!) Sharon who we appreciated for making us feel welcome at our venue tasting, it was so lovely to see you again on our wedding day! We are thankful for your touches such as bringing our drinks that we abandoned over to us after our photos. Lisa, Olivia & the catering team who were professional, efficient and said kind words about the speeches. Also Hazel who we saw around Norwood quite a lot prior to our wedding day, she is head of housekeeping and is very knowledgeable of the hall. She complimented me throughout the day and is a very lovely lady! All our guests commented on how lovely the food was. Our food was delightful!!! Canapes, main course & dessert. And the American buffet in the evening was incredible! We also throughly enjoyed the set up of the venue tasting session we had prior to the wedding. Having our own table decorated was special and we got to try the different wines & food to help make our decisions. Breakfast the next morning was one of the best breakfasts I had! This was included for all guests who stayed and was a buffet style. It was special for us to have that time to reflect & say goodbye to guests. The house itself is so beautiful. When you pull up the elegance and beauty of the house makes you fall In love! The staircase for me was also a plus (I love a staircase). The rooms were all different but spectacular in their own way. Especially the bridal suite and duke suite where the bride and groom can get ready in the morning. I think it’s such a lovely touch to have grooms suite! We had guests stay at the lodges and also had a lovely stay. The fact Norwood had accommodation was a plus for us as we had family travelling so this was important. We fell in love with the bandstand for our wedding ceremony, I never imagined myself getting married outside but the beauty of this area made it a must! Considering it was outside all our guests heard our vows well due to the positioning of the trees. We had our wedding breakfast in the long room, this room will forever blow me away! I just absolutely love the white walls & gold chandeliers. I loved that the wedding ceremony & drinks reception area was separate to the breakfast & reception area. It added an element of surprise for our guests after the drinks reception! The evening reception was also special for us, the room was one we had hoped for! When you walk in it has twinkly lights on the ceiling and a lovely long bar. It felt like an exclusive club! They also provided a dancerfloor which was handy as we wanted one!! The area went into an outside courtyard which was nice as it kept everyone together even when outside. I will never forget the magic Norwood provided for us on our wedding day. The beauty of the building, the backdrop of the grounds, the amazing team. I would recommend Norwood again and again! And I will keep searching for ways to visit again and again! Thank you so much, The Harrison’s x

We always get excited when we’re photographing a wedding at Norwood Park. The venue has this perfect mix of grandeur and warmth that just makes everything feel special. The house itself is stunning—whether we’re shooting in the beautiful, light-filled rooms or using that incredible sweeping staircase, it’s the kind of place that makes every photo look amazing. The outdoor spaces are just as gorgeous. The gardens, the orchard, and the parkland give us so many options for natural, romantic shots. The grounds are perfect for those golden hour photos, with the sun setting over the house—it’s seriously magical. It feels like no matter where you turn, there’s another perfect spot for a picture. On top of all that, the team at Norwood Park is fantastic. They’re super friendly and always go the extra mile to make sure everything runs smoothly. If you’re looking for a venue that’s elegant but still feels inviting and full of character, we can’t recommend Norwood Park enough. It’s a beautiful place to work, and we love every opportunity we get to shoot weddings there.
