A Stunning Ardington House Wedding in Oxfordshire
We recently had the pleasure of being part of a beautiful Ardington House wedding in Oxfordshire. This exclusive-use stately home, surrounded by lush countryside, is a truly magical location for a wedding, the perfect blend of grandeur and intimacy.
The Perfect Setting
Ardington House offers an elegant combination of historic charm and natural beauty. For this celebration, the reception took place in a stunning marquee on the grounds, creating the ideal space for dining and dancing. The décor was simply breathtaking, with soft lighting, romantic details, and the serene backdrop of the Oxfordshire countryside completing the atmosphere.
A Photo Booth to Match the Magic
Our wooden photo booth was a huge hit at this Ardington House wedding. Paired with our blush sequins backdrop, it added the perfect sparkle to the evening. The backdrop beautifully complemented the bridesmaids’ dresses, creating a cohesive and elegant look that photographed beautifully.
Guests absolutely loved capturing candid, joyful moments throughout the evening. It quickly became one of the most talked-about features of the day.

Ardington House is truly a gem among Oxfordshire wedding venues and we’d be thrilled to help make your celebration even more memorable!
For an Ardington House wedding, we require approximately 2.5m x 2.5m of flat space for either The Icon or The Retro booth.
The marquee setup at Ardington House works beautifully for this. We usually recommend positioning the booth near the dance floor so it becomes part of the evening energy rather than tucked away in a corner
We arrive 60–90 minutes before the hire start time to set up and test everything. This does not reduce your booked hours.
Both of our wooden open-air booths suit Ardington House perfectly.
The Retro Booth is ideal if you want a timeless, elegant look with studio-quality prints and a classic aesthetic.
The Icon Booth is perfect if you want a more interactive experience. It includes:
Instant digital sharing via email
The option to choose between strips or 6×4 prints on the spot
Colour or black & white selection
Custom music through built-in Marshall speakers
The ability to play a personalised video on the back of the booth
For a stately home venue like Ardington House, many couples choose The Icon for that extra luxury touch.
Yes. Every Ardington House wedding includes a fully custom print design tailored to your theme, colours, and typography.
We send design mock-ups in advance so everything feels cohesive with your invitations and décor.
Unlimited prints are included in all standard packages, and duplicate copies can be printed automatically for guest books.
Absolutely.
Ardington House weddings often lean towards elegant, romantic styling, so sequins, soft neutrals, or refined draped backdrops work beautifully.
If you’re hosting your reception in the marquee, we can recommend a backdrop that complements the lighting and avoids clashing with the interior décor.
You can explore our full backdrop collection to find the perfect fit for your day.
For 99% of weddings, we recommend starting the booth just after the first dance or when evening guests arrive.
This keeps energy high, avoids overlap with dinner, and ensures maximum usage.
Because Ardington House weddings often flow from outdoor drinks to marquee dining, timing the booth for the evening party creates the biggest impact.
Ardington House is in Oxfordshire, and travel within Oxfordshire is typically included in our standard pricing.
If you are unsure, simply send us your wedding date and we’ll confirm availability and any travel considerations straight away.
Popular Oxfordshire venues like Ardington House often book 12–18 months in advance.
We recommend securing your date as soon as your venue is confirmed, especially for peak summer Saturdays.
