Dissington Hall :-
Venue licensed for civil partnership or wedding ceremonies
Most receptions involve arrival drinks in the Library or, in the summer, on the Terrace and East lawn. This is followed by the wedding party welcoming the guests to a seated meal for between 40 and 160 guests, with both hot and cold courses served by our friendly staff. The food is of the highest quality and menus can be tailored to suit your needs, including imaginative choices devised for your vegetarian or special-diet guests. We have an excellent selection of wines and we also offer good value drinks packages at a range of fixed prices.
Wedding Trivia:
WEDDING AS A TERM
Although some brides were kidnapped, marriage by purchase was the preferred method of obtaining a wife. The "bride price" could be land, social status, political alliances, or cash. The Anglo-Saxon word "wed" meant that the groom would vow to marry the woman, but it also referred to the bride price (money or barter) to be paid by the groom to the bride's father. The root of the word "wedding" literally means to gamble or wager!
