About Knebworth House

Knebworth House is a historic stately home near Stevenage, with Knebworth Barns hosting weddings and events. It’s one of the venues we supply regularly, and we’ve set up weddings, birthdays and celebrations there.

Country houses and historic venues bring the wow factor before you’ve added a thing: character rooms, grand staircases and grounds made for photos. Planning there is a little different, though. Historic buildings often have rules to protect them, and the rooms can be long walks from where vans park, so it pays to plan the setup carefully.

Planning your setup at Knebworth House

Ask about the house rules

Historic venues usually have guidance on what can go where, how things are fixed and what effects can be used indoors. Tell us where you’re celebrating and we’ll plan a setup that works within the venue’s rules, agreeing access and timings with them before the day.

Let the room do the talking

In a room full of character, less is often more. An LED dancefloor and soft uplighting bring a grand room to life after dark without fighting its features, and a flower wall or light-up letters gives you a photo spot that matches the setting.

Use the space between the meal and the party

Country house weddings often have a turnaround while the room changes from dinner to dancing. We work around the venue team so the dancefloor and DJ are ready to go when the first dance starts.

Plan for the walk

Grand venues can mean long corridors and narrow doorways. We bring the right kit for the route and allow time for it, which is why we always agree access with the venue first.

Want to try it out? Our free room layout planner lets you place the dancefloor, DJ, bar and tables before the day, and share the plan with Knebworth House.

How big should your dancefloor be?

You don’t need room for every guest on the dancefloor. At most weddings and parties, around a third to a half of your guests are dancing at any one time, so it’s best to size it for the busiest moment of the night: the first dance or the last half hour.

Move the slider to your guest numbers to see the size we’d suggest and its price.

Too big and it can look empty and put people off; too small and guests give up and drift back to the bar. Tell us which room you’ve booked at Knebworth House and we’ll check the size fits. Want to go deeper? Try our dancefloor size calculator.
