An incredible experience and beautiful memories to cherish

Summer Wedding at Notley Abbey

Driving down the tree-lined approach feels like stepping into a classic film, and the magic continues throughout the day. The Abbey’s medieval architecture and graceful stonework create an unforgettable backdrop for your ceremony, whether you choose to wed in the atmospheric Monks’ Refectory or exchange vows outdoors in the beautiful grounds.

As a wedding photographer, I’m captivated by the way light pours through the tall windows, the charm of the manicured lawns, and the secluded spots that are ideal for romantic portraits. Every corner tells a story — from the ivy-draped walls to the sweeping lawns that lead to the River Thame.

Notley Abbey offers exclusive hire, meaning you can truly make the space your own for the day. Whether you envision a grand celebration or a more intimate gathering, this venue provides the perfect stage for a day filled with elegance, joy, and memories you’ll treasure forever.
