When it comes to planning a wedding, the venue sets the tone for the entire celebration. At Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa, nestled in the heart of Derbyshire at the gateway to the Peak District National Park, every detail—from its historic charm to its modern amenities—comes together to create an unforgettable experience. In this blog, we explore why Ringwood Hall is a great choice for your wedding day, incorporating insights from both our happy couples and DJ professionals who have worked the events.
A Venue Steeped in History and Elegance
Ringwood Hall is a beautifully preserved 19th-century Georgian manor house surrounded by 6 acres of formal gardens and 23 acres of parkland. This stunning setting provides a timeless and photogenic backdrop for weddings across all four seasons. With a range of reception options available—from intimate gatherings in the Garden Marquee to grand celebrations in our elegant function rooms—the venue caters to weddings of every size.
Whether you’re planning a civil ceremony in one of the licensed spaces, a lavish wedding breakfast, or a dynamic evening reception with live music and dancing, Ringwood Hall offers the flexibility to tailor the day to your vision.
What Our DJs Have to Say
The energy on the dance floor is essential to any wedding celebration, and our venue has proven its worth with rave reviews from DJ professionals:
In the Portland Room:“The room’s permanent wooden dancefloor and ample space make it a great spot for our setup, even though the temporary wooden dancefloor and lack of in-house lighting effects require creative workarounds. The friendly staff and excellent parking right outside the entrance really enhance the overall experience.”– DJ Review, 29/02/2016
In the Function Room:“This room offers a permanent wooden dancefloor, which creates a solid foundation for our performance. While the temporary stage and absence of dedicated lighting require some adjustments, the high ceiling and quality acoustics, along with friendly and accommodating staff, make our job much easier.”– DJ Review, 29/02/2016
These insights highlight that while Ringwood Hall’s rooms may require a bit of extra creativity with lighting and staging, the overall support from the staff and the unique acoustic atmosphere make it a favorite among DJs who bring weddings to life.
What Makes Ringwood Hall Stand Out
Exclusive Use & Versatility: At Ringwood Hall, each wedding enjoys exclusive use of the property. This means you can transform the space into a reflection of your personal style, without any interruptions. The venue offers multiple function rooms that can adapt to various guest capacities—making it ideal for both intimate ceremonies and larger gatherings of up to 250 guests.
Elegant Interiors and Captivating Exteriors: The Georgian architecture combined with the lush formal gardens and expansive parkland offers countless photo opportunities. From the beautifully restored interiors of the manor house to the serene outdoor spaces, every corner of Ringwood Hall is designed to impress.
Exceptional Service and Facilities: Our dedicated wedding coordinators work tirelessly to ensure every detail is attended to. The venue’s comprehensive packages include:
Multiple course wedding breakfasts with top-notch cuisine
Stylish furniture and décor that complement the historic charm of the manor

Complimentary on-site parking and well-maintained grounds for your guests’ convenience
Relax and Enjoy: The in-house spa and luxurious accommodations allow you and your guests to relax before and after the big event. Whether you choose to unwind in the award-winning spa or enjoy a quiet morning breakfast in one of our elegantly appointed rooms, Ringwood Hall ensures your wedding weekend is as comfortable as it is memorable.
