Information For The Studio Cranford Hall
Northamptonshire Wedding Venue Listed Georgian House Church in grounds for blessings Beautiful gardens 109 seated function room Rustic Bar - sensibly priced drinks External catering allowed
We only host about 12 weddings each year and every event is a one off. We don't offer packages and a conveyor belt of weddings as some of the big hotels might do.
You get me, Emma, the owner working with you from the initial show round on finding the right suppliers, timings for the day, drinks selection, setup and decorations, running of the day, managing staff, liaising with your suppliers and making sure everything thing runs smoothly.
You may visit us 4 or 5 times before your wedding day with friends or family or suppliers - thats absolutely fine, we want you to feel happy, comfortable and very relaxed here on your big day.
Your wedding day will be unique, your family and friends will be made to feel incredibly welcome here. Many couples remain firm friends after their day and we regularly keep in touch.
The function room is a separate building in the grounds of the Hall called the Studio, it can seat up to 109 people. Round or trestle tables and rustic cross back chairs are included in the price. Its has beautiful wooden floors, fairy light ceiling a working open fire and fabulous views across the gardens and into the horse fields.
The bar is next door and is the Hall's old Brewhouse. It has a rustic scaffolding plank bar complete with fairylights, log burner and comfortable snug with sofas and small tables. Drinks prices are based on local pub prices and the bar is very well stocked.
St Andrews Church in the grounds can be hired for a Blessing ceremony - sadly not actual marriages. It is a stunning little church with history dating back to the 12th century.
We don't offer in house catering but have a list of preferred caterers we can talk to you about. If you would like to use someone not on our list that may be fine, we will check them first and make sure they can deliver what you are looking for.
We are very flexible with regards to drinks offerings. if you want to bring your own welcome drinks and table wine thats absolutely fine, we will charge a very reasonable corkage and help you work out how much you need to buy. You may put money behind the bar or run a drinks token system if you want everyone to get a free drink for example. Or alternatively you could just have a paying bar from the off.
Our payment system is really straight forward. You book the date and put down a deposit to secure this and to act as a breakages deposit. You then dont pay anything else until 6 months before your date 50% of the hire, then the remaining balance 2 months before your date. Once we've been in and cleared and checked all is well, we return your deposit - perfect for your honeymoon spending.

The Studio Cranford Hall Reviews




We clicked with Emma instantly and we loved that we had the freedom to make our day exacly how we wanted, with no compulsory use of set suppliers that you often get with wedding venues. However, we did end up using the caterers and florist that Emma suggested to us - she has great taste! So whilst there is no pressure to use suggested suppliers, I would 100% look at Emma's recommendations as she knows some incredible people. Jet and I also loved the fact that there are only a select number of weddings at Cranford Hall each year. This made it feel so special and unique, as neither of us wanted a venue that churns out weddings every day of the week.
We were due to get married in April 2020, but then Covid hit and we unfortunately had to postpone (4 times in the end!). Emma was incredible throughout this and saved several alternative dates for us. We finally managed to get married in August 2021 and boy was it worth the wait.
We had access to the venue for the whole weekend so were able to do some decorating that we wanted to do on the Friday, however we did also pop in several times in the week leading up to the wedding.
We also hired Emma's caravan photo booth which was a huge success - if you are considering it definitely do it! It was so cute with a big variety of props and we had so much fun looking through all of the photos the next day. The grounds are also so beautiful and there were so many options for photos - Jet and I had photos in the gardens, by the house, in a greenhouse, a wild garden and also by some shipping containers! We wanted quirky photos amongst picturesque ones and were able to do both.
I honestly cannot express enough how great Emma was in making our wedding so smooth and stress free. She was always quick to respond, reminded me on things I had forgotten and could not do enough for us. She also totally got the vibe that Jet and I wanted - fun and laid back. On the day of our wedding, Emma honestly felt like one of our guests. We were laughing with her, dancing with her and she made such effort to interact with our friends and family; which we loved. Cranford Hall was the most perfect wedding venue and we had the best day of our lives.
Thank you SO MUCH to Emma and all the staff at Cranford Hall in making our wedding more than we could have ever wished for.
