Part of the renowned Lion Inn complex in Boreham, the Lion House is the perfect setting for a truly memorable wedding day. Whether you’re planning an intimate, romantic ceremony or a grand celebration with family and friends, it has everything you need. Thanks to its elegant indoor spaces and sun-drenched gardens, every summer wedding here is an unforgettable occasion.
Two Beautifully Licensed Ceremony Spaces
At the Lion House, you can choose between two licensed ceremony spaces to suit your style and guest list. The Lion’s Den is ideal for smaller gatherings of up to 30 guests. It offers a cosy, stylish setting for exchanging vows in front of your loved ones.
For larger celebrations, the Grand Hall seats up to 150 guests. Its striking glass wall overlooks the private gardens, letting natural summer light flood the room. After the ceremony, guests can enjoy reception drinks in the stylish Long Bar while you take time for photographs.
Exquisite Reception Dining
Exquisite dining is a key part of any Lion House wedding. Our skilled chefs create seasonal summer menus using the freshest locally sourced ingredients, so every dish looks and tastes incredible. You might choose a formal three-course wedding breakfast in the Grand Hall, or perhaps a more relaxed alfresco meal in our gardens. Either way, every dish is created to impress. You can also personalise your menu to suit your tastes, giving guests a range of options to enjoy.
Celebrate in Style in the Stunning Sunlit Gardens
The Lion House’s private gardens are perfect for a summer wedding. They offer a bright, vibrant backdrop for photographs, drinks receptions and outdoor celebrations. Guests can admire the summer blooms, mingle on the sunlit terraces and toast the happy couple under clear blue skies. There’s also plenty of space for alfresco dining, lawn games or even a marquee for evening celebrations. As a result, the gardens give you a flexible and scenic setting for your big day.
Luxurious On-Site Accommodation
With luxurious rooms on-site, you and your guests won’t have far to travel after the celebrations. The Lion Inn offers 23 beautifully appointed en-suite rooms, from standard doubles and twins to deluxe doubles and the opulent Deluxe Suite. Many rooms also have private balconies or direct access to the gardens, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of celebrating. Meanwhile, the happy couple can relax in our beautiful bridal suite, designed with comfort and romance in mind.
