Information For Ware Priory
Steeped with period architecture and 7 acres of riverside gardens, Ware Priory is the perfect backdrop for your Wedding Ceremony and Reception, photos, and garden drinks reception.
Ware Priory is a Grade I listed building dating back to 1338. It has been restored to a very high standard and offers a traditional and historical space for your special day. There are a variety of rooms to choose from, each with their own charms and styles.
Fletcher’s Lea – our much larger modern day function room – stands in the grounds of Ware Priory and offers a bright and contemporary atmosphere. It’s Riverside Suite directly overlooks the River Lea providing a truly unique backdrop.
Both the main Ware Priory Building and Fletcher’s Lea have white, high walled exteriors providing a grand first impression. The entrance to Ware Priory is through a heavy studded wooden door into the flag stoned reception. There are many historical features including arched windows, interesting stonework and pretty planters and hanging baskets adorn the space. At the back of the building, there is a wisteria archway from the building into the grounds. Fletcher’s Lea has a main entrance and 4 glass doorways along the side of the building. It also has a decking area at the rear that overlooks the River Lea.
The 7 acres of riverside grounds are perfect for photos, drinks receptions, barbeques and garden parties. There are lots of romantic spots overlooking the river including the 2 bridges that cross the inlet of water leading to our island. The island itself has its own bandstand. The gardens offer well kept lawns and beds containing many trees and plants that bloom at differing times of the year, ensuring that there is always a colourful and interesting outlook. There is much wildlife by the river including white Aylesbury ducks, swans, geese and squirrels.

We also provide a selection of Drinks Packages and a full bar service. Detailsof our preferred catering partners and menus can be found on our website.

Top Wedding Tips
Save early and allocate a fair part of your budget to food and drink. It sounds obvious but you might be surprised how many couples get carried away with styling and lose focus of their guests.
Be prepared to ask...if there is something you don't like on the menu your chosen venue is offering, it is worth asking if it can be changed for something else.
When the big day arrives, just relax and enjoy the day!
