Milton Keynes Parkside

House is dedicated to

making your special day

perfect and as individual

as you are.

Whether you are planning a Civil Ceremony, traditional Church Service or Civil Partnership, we recognise that every wedding is different. That’s why we are completely flexible and happy to discuss your specific requirements to ensure that our beautiful hotel provides imagination, flair and the perfect setting.

Our elegantly styled suites are coupled with great food, high quality service and beautiful surroundings. And of course, all our wedding packages have been carefully designed with you in mind. After all, your wedding day is the most important day of your life and we want you to enjoy every second of it.

This hidden gem nestled in the tranquil village of Woughton on the Green provides a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of central Milton Keynes, just five minutes away. The recently refurbished Orchard Suite and Bar have direct access to the hotel gardens which, in the summer months, provide the perfect setting for your Champagne reception or al fresco dining.

From the very moment you arrive, you can feel confident it’s the ultimate setting for your precious day and that every detail, from your wedding breakfast through to your evening reception, will be taken care of.

Congratulations on

your forthcoming

wedding...
