Stanbrook Abbey Wedding Decor

Wedding Decor Hire at Stanbrook Abbey, Worcester

Planning a Stanbrook Abbey wedding? The Wedding House has styled over 25 weddings at this former Benedictine abbey in Callow End. That covers the last four years, from ceremonies in Callow Great Hall to evenings in St Anne’s Hall.
We are based in Droitwich Spa, and Stanbrook Abbey is one of the Worcestershire venues we know best. The abbey sits in 26 acres just outside Worcester, and is now run as a hotel by Hand Picked Hotels. This page covers how we style each of its wedding spaces, and the questions couples ask us most.

Wedding Aisle Decor in Callow Great Hall

Callow Great Hall is the abbey’s former church, built between 1869 and 1871 and now a Grade II listed space. It holds up to 200 guests for a ceremony. Stained glass, a tiled floor and a ceiling over ten metres high do much of the work for you. The carved pews face each other across the aisle, so your guests look in towards you.
Our advice is simple: don’t over fill it. The hall is beautiful as it is, so we frame it rather than cover it. We line the aisle floor with flowers or lanterns, which suits the long central aisle well. See our Aisle Decor for the pieces we use.

Bella Trees for a Stanbrook Abbey Ceremony

Bella Trees work especially well in Callow Great Hall. Their canopy fills the height of the room without crowding the aisle. We have them in blossom, wisteria and autumn leaves, so they suit spring, summer and autumn weddings alike.
Many couples pair the trees with one of our Wedding Arches at the front of the hall. If you want the arch in your reception room too, we can stay on site and move it for you. That way one piece of decor works twice.

Wedding Table Decorations in St Anne’s Hall

St Anne’s Hall is light, neutral and panelled, with a high ceiling and its own garden doors. It seats up to 80 for a wedding breakfast. It is also used for smaller weddings, with ceremonies of up to 100 guests.
The top table sits beneath the raised stage, where the DJ sets up later in the evening. That makes the stage a natural backdrop for top table styling. The venue provides Chiavari chairs here, so you can dress them rather than cover them with our Chair Decor. Table Centrepieces and Stands, Charger Plates and Mats, and Napkins and Rings finish each place setting.

LED Dance Floor Hire at Stanbrook Abbey

For the evening, our white starlit LED dance floor usually goes into St Anne’s Hall. The 16ft by 16ft floor costs £425, delivered and installed. See LED Dance Floor Hire for the full details.
Larger weddings often move to the Garden Pavilion, which seats 280 and holds 400 in the evening. It overlooks Willow Lake and has its own canopy of fairy lights and chandeliers. A Flower Wall Hire backdrop, light up letters or the dance floor can go wherever suits your layout.
