This will be dependent on your numbers and chosen ceremony room. Usually ceremonies and receptions take place in the Adam Hall or the Chapel. We allow plenty of time for your drinks reception to make sure the room is set up perfectly for your wedding breakfast, should you decide to use the same space twice.

It is important to note that whilst our maximum capacity for ceremonies is 100, this number needs to include the bride and groom, two registrars and a member of staff from Compton Verney, along with any relevant suppliers such as a photographer.
