Weddings

 

A genuine hideaway for saying ‘I do’ in Oxford.

 

 

 

The 17th-century Old Parsonage Hotel, nestled at the head of historic St Giles Boulevard, sets the stage for a truly romantic celebration. A picturesque central Oxford location, it offers a characterful function room and an al fresco pavilion, both licenced for civil wedding ceremonies – ideal for intimate weddings and receptions.

The events team has a wealth of experience in choreographing weddings with only your closest family and friends on the guest list. Vows exchanged, step out of the Pike Room and onto the walled terrace for canapés and champagne beside the hotel’s climbing wisteria, or opt for photos in the tranquil courtyard, the Garden Room, circled by greenery.

“My family and I stayed here as part of a wedding weekend. All of the staff were immensely friendly and helpful… a cosy, comfortable vibe with delicious food. The private library was a particular treat and great place to have a cocktail before dinner.”
“My fiancé booked this for her pre- and our post wedding. She was looked after with genuine care and felt that nothing was too much trouble from checking her dress was ok to the family meal she hosted the night before the wedding itself.”
“Small touches that made a huge difference such as fresh milk in the fridge for our morning tea, a small concealed light that came on as soon as one entered the bathroom, complimentary water readily available – simple pleasures one expects but rarely experiences.”
“We came to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and from start to finish everything was truly perfect. Great room & location, friendly and relaxed staff.”
“Stunning interiors throughout; we loved the library where we spent time relaxing, drinking champagne and trying to remember how to play chess!”

Wedding FAQs
Can you put together bespoke menus?

Certainly. Our head chefs love to play with flavours and can meet with you to discuss a menu designed specifically for your event.

Can I bring my own catering?

We don’t offer our rooms solely on a hire basis, which means that there’s no external catering.

Can I bring my own music playlist?

Yes, we have facilities in all the rooms for your playlists. Please contact our events team for information on the connection.

Can I bring decorations like balloons and banners?

You’re welcome to bring balloons and table decorations, but not confetti, to any of our private spaces. Wall decorations are accepted as long as they’re hung with blue tack. The artwork already present in the rooms cannot be removed.

Can we access the private room prior to the event, the evening before for example?

This may be possible based on availability and may incur an extra charge.
