Couples can host ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, bridal showers and post-wedding brunches in a private and characterful setting. Three guest suites are available as an optional addition, providing comfortable accommodation for wedding parties, family members or corporate retreat guests.

For business organisers, The Whittlesey House provides a refined environment for company off-sites, workshops, client presentations, planning sessions and small meetings.
