Blenheim Palace Reviews

As wedding photographers, we had the opportunity to capture a beautiful wedding at Blenheim Palace. The venue itself was nothing short of spectacular, with its 18th century baroque architecture, landscaped parkland, and award-winning formal gardens serving as a stunning backdrop for the photographs.

The events team at Blenheim Palace were top-notch and provided an outstanding service to the bride and groom. They worked closely with the couple to create a bespoke wedding package that was tailored to their specific dream wedding requirements. It was clear that the events team had a wealth of experience and knowledge when it came to planning and executing weddings at the venue.

While wedding related photography and videography were exclusive to those getting married at Blenheim Palace, it was disappointing to hear that professional portrait, engagement, pre-wedding or wedding day photography were not permitted in the courtyards, palace, gardens, or grounds. However, we understand the need to preserve the exclusivity for the couples who choose to share their special day at the venue.

Overall, we were truly impressed by Blenheim Palace as a wedding venue and would highly recommend it to any couple looking for a magnificent setting for their big day. For more information about the venue options, capacity, prices, and more, we would encourage anyone interested to reach out to the events team and start planning their wedding at Blenheim Palace.

Visited for 3rd year running and was disappointed as wasn’t as good as previous years. It seemed a shorter trail with less impressive lights.Previous years had more breath taking lights that were set to more evocative
Music. There were less light changing displays that were set to dramatic music. Some
Displays were really lame like the penguins or fairy lights twinkling
On and off. Nothing on the lake either. Even the light display on the main house wasn’t as impressive as last year which was so dramatic and spell bounding. This year they spent a lot of time with a naff cartoon car driving to sites in the UK - not sure what that had to do with Christmas. Only took c 45
Mins to go
Round. Expensive for what it was. Not sure we’ll bother next year.

We had a fantastic afternoon visiting the Kingdom of the Snow Queen. It was amazing. All the staff were very helpful and accessibility for my daughter who is in a wheelchair was great. Special thanks to the lady driving the shuttle.

My wife and I purchased tickets to the house and light trail. Yes, as some mentioned the tickets are a little expensive but no one is forced to purchase them. Having been it’s fair to see the value as the cost of the decoration and lighting I cannot imagine!

These was a good and varied outdoor Christmas market and lots of lovely food stalls. We chose to eat in the conservatory, food was good and reasonably priced too.

The effort and detail in the house was incredible, very tasteful and impressive. Equally the light trail was great to walk around too.

All staff we encountered were very welcoming and polite, overall a great experience.

We visited Blenheim and made the most of our visit by going to the Christmas market, had afternoon tea and then visited the lights. We had a fabulous time and staff were brilliant and so cheerful despite the cold!, my daughter is a wheelchair user and everything was very accessible- special praise for Steve who helped find a lost phone!! (Wish the shuttle ran later but was lovely that everything else was open all day). We loved the lights and will make a return visit next year!
