Enchanting Cotswold Weddings at The Crown & Cushion
Where History Meets Hospitality in the Heart of the Cotswolds
Where History Meets Hospitality in the Heart of the Cotswolds
Welcome to the newly transformed Crown & Cushion function facility.
While our roots date back to the 15th century, our vision is firmly set on the future of your perfect wedding day. Following an extensive and thoughtful refurbishment, we have breathed new life into this historic, self contained facility. We have meticulously balanced the preservation of our original timber beams and honey-colored stone with a sophisticated, modern elegance.
The result is a venue that offers the “Rustic Grandeur” of the Cotswolds with the polished comfort of a boutique hotel. Whether you are local to Oxfordshire or traveling from afar to find that quintessential English backdrop, our refurbished spaces provide a stunning setting for your celebration.
When you choose The Crown & Cushion, you aren’t just booking a room; you are stepping into a piece of Oxfordshire history. Our fully refurbished function facilities offer a seamless blend of original character and contemporary sophistication.
Our primary celebration space is a jewel in Chipping Norton’s crown. Featuring its own private bar and separate entrance, it offers the exclusivity and privacy your wedding deserves. The refurbishment has highlighted the stunning 15th-century architecture while adding elegant lighting and a neutral, stylish palette that allows your chosen wedding colors to shine.
At The Crown & Cushion, we believe that the wedding breakfast is the heart of the celebration. Our catering is driven by Shires, our modern British food sanctuary. Our philosophy is simple: we use only the finest seasonal ingredients the British Isles has to offer to create bold, thought-provoking menus.
Our in-house team & wedding catering partners don’t believe in “standard” wedding food. Instead, we work with you to create a menu that reflects your tastes, whether that’s a formal three-course contemporary British meal or our signature ‘all you can eat’ Platters & Banquets that encourage a relaxed, social dining experience..
The magic of a wedding at The Crown & Cushion doesn’t have to end when the music stops. We offer 40 newly refurbished en-suite bedrooms, ensuring that your closest friends and family can retreat in comfort.
For the newlyweds, we offer the ultimate in romantic luxury: our 11 Four-Poster bedrooms. These suites have been elegantly updated to embody class and relaxation, many featuring cast-iron free-standing baths that invite you to unwind and reflect on your day.
We pride ourselves on being a truly inclusive venue. Our Coach House, located at the rear of the hotel, has been upgraded to provide excellent disabled access and ground-floor rooms. Furthermore, we remain a pet-friendly establishment; your beloved four-legged companions are always welcome.
Your entire wedding journey can unfold under one historic roof. At The Crown & Cushion, we are fully licensed to host civil wedding and partnership ceremonies, allowing you to transition seamlessly from saying “I do” to celebrating into the night.
Whether you envision walking down the aisle in a grand, light-filled room surrounded by all your family and friends, or exchanging vows in an intimate, romance-filled space steeped in history, we have the perfect backdrop. Our beautifully refurbished spaces can be meticulously styled to frame your moment perfectly, creating an atmosphere that is both breathtaking and deeply personal.
We know that planning a wedding is a journey of a thousand details. That’s where the Crown & Cushion comes in. Our dedicated planners truly understand that your celebration should be memorable and filled with excitement, happiness, and love.
Because we have recently completed such extensive works on the hotel, we are more excited than ever to show off our new look. We offer a “kettle is always on” policy—we invite you to visit us for a no-obligation chat and a private tour of our refurbished suites.
