Botleys Mansion is built for the scale and detail of a South Asian wedding. Our glass-roofed Atrium comfortably holds a mandap for Hindu and Jain ceremonies, with plenty of room to style it to your regional traditions. Planning a Nikkah and Walima? A Mehndi evening? The Anand Karaj celebrations that follow your Gurdwara ceremony? The house is yours, exclusively, so every event of your wedding week has the space it deserves.

At Botleys Mansion our light-filled Green Room or Morning Room are ideal for an intimate Chinese Tea Ceremony, while dry hire lets you bring in your own caterers to build a multi-course banquet around symbolic dishes for happiness, prosperity and longevity — served in the Atrium, at round tables made for sharing. Of course, we’ll happily design a menu with you if you don’t already have a favourite caterer.

Raise your glass to a resounding “Gānbēi!”, and if a Lion or Dragon Dance is part of your celebrations, our front lawn gives performers all the room they need, with the mansion as their backdrop.

Whether you’re planning an Orthodox or a Reform ceremony, Botleys Mansion adapts to how you want to celebrate. Our Atrium, airy and spacious beneath its soaring glass roof, makes a striking setting for a Chuppah and cheers of “Mazel Tov!”

Dry hire means the freedom to choose Kosher caterers for your sit-down meal, so every dish suits you and your guests. Come evening, the Atrium becomes your dance floor — ready for the Horah, Israeli dancing, and lifting the couple high on chairs.

For a Persian wedding, Botleys Mansion offers the elegant, adaptable spaces a Sofreh Aghd deserves. Our romantic, light-filled Green Room suits an intimate Sofreh, while the spacious Atrium comfortably hosts a larger guest list and an elaborate Sofreh spread — with a grand staircase entrance that makes an unforgettable first impression.

Dry hire means your Sofreh ceremony and the wedding banquet that follows can be shaped entirely around your traditions. With the venue exclusively yours, you decide how every space is used.

Afro-Caribbean weddings bring warmth, rhythm and joy to Botleys Mansion, and our dry hire model is built to match that energy. Planning a blessing on-site led by your own minister, or celebrating after a church ceremony elsewhere — our spaces flex around your plans, not the other way round.

Bring in a gospel choir, a live band, or a DJ who knows how to keep a dancefloor moving all night. Our extendable entertainment licence keeps the celebrations going later, and full culinary flexibility means you can work with specialist caterers on a bespoke menu of your choice.
