Weddings

Located just two and a half miles upstream from Henley-on-Thames, Shiplake provides a unique venue for wedding ceremonies and receptions. The College buildings are centred on Shiplake Court, which dates back to 1889. Having begun life as a fine Victorian family home, Shiplake Court now houses the traditional Great Hall and a number of smaller rooms which can be utilised to create a perfect day for every couple.

The Church of St Peter and St Paul is just 100 yards from the Great Hall. Alternatively, if you are interested in holding a civil ceremony at Shiplake, there are two options available. The Great Hall can accommodate up to 200 guests for the ceremony whilst the Old Library hosts up to 60.

The Great Hall and Old Library are also great options for intimate wedding receptions. The larger room can seat up to 110 guest for formal receptions, while the Old Library can hold smaller parties or be used for drinks on arrival, after the ceremony or for dancing later in the evening.
