Wedding venues in Kettering
Barton Hall in Barton Seagrave is a Grade II country house hotel with an Orangery for ceremonies, nearly 10 acres of grounds and one wedding reception a day. Down the road, Wicksteed Park has three wedding spaces, from the intimate Garden Suite to the Pavilion Ballroom for very large weddings.
If you'd like a modern hotel with packages that take care of the detail, Kettering Park Hotel & Spa offers set wedding packages, including a civil ceremony package, with a spa and rooms on site.
