Wedding photography and film at Catton Hall

Catton Hall is a country weddings venue in the Midlands, set within a privately owned Georgian mansion and 100 acres of Staffordshire and Derbyshire countryside.

A privately owned Georgian mansion set in 100 acres of Staffordshire and Derbyshire countryside, Catton Hall is one of the Midlands' most sought-after exclusive-use estates — its grounds and restored interiors providing a canvas of genuine elegance.

We think the combination of restored period interiors and sweeping open grounds makes it one of those rare exclusive-use estates where the setting does a great deal of the work for you. The natural light across those landscapes, paired with the warmth and character of a genuinely lived-in historic home, creates the kind of visual depth we find endlessly compelling as filmmakers and photographers. It is a venue we would absolutely love to bring our cameras to.

Frequently asked questions about Catton Hall

What is it like to get married at Catton Hall?

Getting married at Catton Hall means having an entire Georgian mansion and its 100 acres of Staffordshire and Derbyshire countryside entirely to yourselves for the day. The exclusive-use format means every corner of the estate, from the restored interiors to the sweeping grounds, belongs to you and your guests. It is the kind of setting where the venue itself does a great deal of the work, giving the day a sense of occasion that feels both grand and genuinely personal.

How does Catton Hall work as an exclusive-use venue?

Catton Hall is hired exclusively, meaning no other weddings or events share the estate on your date. As a privately owned property, it has the character and warmth of a real family home rather than a commercial events space. That combination of privacy and elegance is a big part of why it is considered one of the most sought-after wedding destinations in the Midlands.

What makes Catton Hall such a good venue for wedding photography and videography?

A Georgian mansion set within 100 acres of countryside offers a remarkable variety of backdrops, from the architecture and restored interiors of the house itself to the open parkland and natural landscapes of the grounds. Venues like Catton Hall reward photographers and videographers who take time to explore, because the light, the scale and the detail all change as the day moves on. For us as a creative team, that kind of variety is exactly what we look for in a location.

Can we book Big Day Productions to photograph or film our wedding at Catton Hall?

Absolutely, and Catton Hall is the kind of venue we would love to be part of. If you are planning a wedding there, get in touch with us and we can talk through what you have in mind, from the style of coverage you are after to how we would approach a day at an estate of that scale. We are always happy to chat through the details before you commit to anything.

Where is Catton Hall and how easy is it for guests to get to?

Catton Hall sits on the border of Staffordshire and Derbyshire, placing it in a well-connected part of the Midlands that is accessible from a wide area. The surrounding region has good road links, and guests travelling from further afield will find a range of accommodation options in the local towns and villages nearby. It is worth pointing your guests towards options early, as exclusive-use venues in countryside settings can mean accommodation books up quickly around popular dates.

Is Catton Hall suitable for larger wedding parties?

As an exclusive-use Georgian estate with 100 acres of grounds, Catton Hall is well suited to weddings where space and freedom of movement matter. The combination of the house and the wider estate means there is room for guests to spread out across the day rather than feeling confined to a single space. For exact capacity details we would always recommend speaking directly with the venue, as they will be best placed to advise based on your specific plans.
