More about Crondon Park and what it has to offer you.
Originally the estate was owned by the Orr Family who farmed Crondon Valley for many years. The estate was then taken over by the Fox Family who redeveloped the estate and opened on the 31st May 1994. They have never looked back since! At the Wedding Secret we had the delight of speaking with owner Stuart Fox, who by all accounts is a self proclaimed perfectionist and entrepreneur. Stuart took delight in telling us about Crondon Park and its exceptional facilities with such passion. What is clear from the conversation is that Stuart and the team are undeniably focussed on providing couples with their dream day, with no couple leaving unhappy. Many long standing members of the team ensure everything runs like clockwork whilst also striving for more and more for their valued couples.
Golf
Not only a premier wedding venue, Crondon Park has many strings to its bow. The estate is also home to one of the most formidable golf courses, set within luscious parkland and surrounded by 20,000 trees. Pre wedding game of golf anyone?!

Wedding Facilities
The Baronial Suite consists of three sections; the Baronial Hall, the Ryder ceremony room and the bar area.
The Baronial Hall
The main function room is The Baronial Hall complete with a medieval feel. Built circa 1600 out of light oak, it is considered to be one of the finest examples of a Tudor and Jacobean Barn. With added atmospheric lighting, pick your colour and illuminate the oak beams (which were originally ships timbers).
The Baronial Suite as well as being visually grand, has some more distinguishing features. A Rosewood floor was purchased from Country Hall, Westminster Bridge, London and set in the Baronial Hall. It is laid in the original style and set in bitumen and is said to be one of the rarest block floors in the United Kingdom.
Outside you and your guests can make use of the private enclosed gardens, where the trees are theme-lit to match the lighting within the Baronial Hall.
