<p>Talk about a show-stopper. If you have big dreams and a big guest list, there&#8217;s nowhere better than the beautiful <a href="https://nottsderbyshire.muddystilettos.co.uk/little-black-book/directory/the-renaissance-at-kelham-hall-newark/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Renaissance at Kelham Hall</a>. Set in 42 acres of gorgeous gardens, woodland and manicured lawns, this gothic beauty near Newark is surrounded by glorious English countryside. Step inside and you’ll find exquisitely carved columns, grand fireplaces, and oak panels. The Great Hall is even crowned with one of the UK’s largest domes. Whatever you&#8217;re after there&#8217;s a room for you, with flexible spaces from four to a whopping 900 guests.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the other end of the size spectrum, this boutique bucolic beauty on the edge of the Chatsworth Estate is hard to beat for intimate weddings. You&#8217;ll need the weather on your side, but <a href="https://www.heathylea.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Heathy Lea</a> is an exclusive-use wedding venue has wow views, oh-so-pretty gardens, and gorgeous accommodation (hello high end Shepherd&#8217;s huts) for you and your guests (up to 24 of them) to truly unwind and connect for a few days.</p>

<p>Ah, beautiful <a href="https://norwoodpark.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Norwood Park</a>. This perfectly pretty, bright and airy, hip country house is the kind of country house you feel you could live in. Elegant, but not overly grand. Beautiful, but not in a don&#8217;t-touch way. Just look at the sweeping staircase &#8211; the perfect place to make an entrance. There&#8217;s a pretty terrace guests can spill out onto at the back (the gardens are at their best in summer, putting on quite the floral show) and a very cool Gatsby-esque bar inside that has a moody, clubby vibe to it &#8211; ideal for after hours antics.</p>

<p>If awe-inspiring views are high on your wedding wish list, I don&#8217;t think you could do better than <a href="https://www.osmastonpark.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Osmaston Park</a>, just outside Ashbourne in Derbyshire. With utterly breath-taking views of lush forest and lakes, you couldn&#8217;t wish for a better backdrop for your wedding snaps. Beyond the view, this place is a blank canvas. You&#8217;re basically hiring the location and you can add in whatever you want &#8211; there is a lot of flexibility here. The guest list would need max out at 500, but apart from that the only limits are your imagination.</p>

<p>Hidden away on the historic Trusley Estate, <a href="https://crippsandco.com/grangefields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Grangefields</a> is a pair of beautiful barns at the end of a long private drive. Tie the knot in the rustic, redbrick ceremony barn with vaulted ceilings then head into the charming Dutch barn for your reception. With an open kitchen, party room and a fully stocked bar, all set around a pretty courtyard, it’s the perfect countryside hideaway.</p>

<p>This one is pretty darn special. Nestled among ancient woodland and meadows in the Peak District, Victorian country house <a href="https://wildhive.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wildhive Callow Hall </a>could be yours for a few days. Take the whole place over and play lady of the manor for a few days, while your friends crash in the 15 bedrooms in the house, 11 woodland Hives and 2 Treehouses. The interiors are exquisite, with a nod to British botanicals and there are lovely rooms to pick from for a civil ceremony, the gorgeous Garden Room restaurant for a reception, or even book a woodland feast outside for more intimate affairs.</p>
