“Hi, hello…I’m Helen, and firstly I would like to wish you a huge congratulations on your engagement!

“Not only am I one of the proud owners, I am also the Wedding Coordinator here at The Kedleston Country House. We only host 30 weddings per year allowing us to provide a dedicated and personal service from start to finish.

“Now that I am approaching my 16th year within the wedding industry, I have noticed a shift in the ‘design’ of a wedding, with many couples no longer wanting all of the traditional formalities of a wedding day such as a Wedding Breakfast. Because of this, I am so excited by our new Twilight Wedding offering which enables you to say “I-do” and then head straight to the dancefloor.

“As a strong believer of our ethos - “your wedding, your way” - I can help you design the perfect wedding day as a true reflection of you and your own personal plans. No two weddings are ever the same here at The Kedleston Country House.

“We have some beautiful pictures of our venue, but nothing beats seeing it in person. It would be my pleasure to welcome you to The Kedleston Country House for a full tour, to help you visualise how your special day could look. Please click here to check our availability and to book a viewing.

I look forward to meeting you soon x”
