Weddings return to Grove House in Dunstable

Posted on

Dunstable Town Council is delighted to announce the elegant Grove House has been formally reinstated as a licenced wedding venue.


The Grade II listed building, dating back to the 18th century, has long stood as one of Dunstable’s most cherished landmarks—an enduring symbol of heritage, community, and celebration.

Following the departure of the Central Bedfordshire Registration Service in 2019, Grove House hosted its final wedding. After several years, this much-loved tradition has now been proudly restored.

The reopening was officially marked by Dunstable Town Mayor, Cllr Sally Kimondo, who led a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday 14 February as part of Grove House’s first Wedding Open Day. The event welcomed local wedding suppliers and vendors, giving prospective couples the opportunity to explore the venue and meet businesses from across the community. The day was well attended and warmly received.

“Grove House has always been a place where memories are made. I am thrilled to see weddings return to this beautiful building, allowing new generations to celebrate some of life’s most important moments in a setting that reflects Dunstable’s history and charm. This reopening is a wonderful example of how our heritage buildings continue to serve and enrich our community.” Dunstable Town Mayor Cllr Sally Kimondo

With its historic character, intimate atmosphere, and picturesque gardens, Grove House offers a truly special setting for civil ceremonies, vow renewals, and weddings. The reinstatement of weddings ensures the venue will once again play a central role in creating lasting memories for couples and their families.

Couples planning their dream wedding or a meaningful renewal of vows are invited to discover all that Grove House has to offer. For more information visit: www.dunstable.gov.uk/weddings email moments@dunstable.gov.uk or call 01582 513000
