Bridal Hair & Makeup at Cliveden House
10 min from Windsor · Buckinghamshire
About the Venue
Cliveden House
A five-star Relais and Châteaux hotel steeped in over 350 years of history, set on 376 acres of National Trust grounds overlooking the Thames. Built in 1666 by the Duke of Buckingham, Cliveden has hosted every reigning monarch since George I and offers an unparalleled setting for a truly luxurious wedding.
There’s a reason Cliveden is one of the most sought-after wedding venues in the country — every corner feels like a film set, and the level of service is extraordinary. Jade loves working here because the whole experience feels elevated, from the stunning grounds to the impeccable staff who think of everything before you even have to ask.
Location: Taplow, Buckinghamshire SL6 0JF — approximately 10 minutes from Windsor, 25 minutes from Heathrow.
Getting Ready
The Lady Astor Suite is the premier bridal prep space — famously the suite where Meghan Markle stayed before her wedding to Prince Harry. It features a spacious layout with cosy sofas, a marble bathtub, his-and-her sinks, a separate vanity nook and elegant furnishings throughout.
The natural light from the multiple windows is gorgeous and makes it one of the best rooms Jade works in for both makeup application and getting-ready photography. It’s the kind of space that makes the whole morning feel special before the day has even really begun.
Capacity & Setting
Multiple celebration rooms available for intimate to exclusive-use weddings, with viewings by appointment.
376 acres of National Trust grounds with a magnificent Italianate parterre, Thames riverfront, formal gardens and ancient woodland. The scale of the grounds means your photographer will be in heaven — there are backdrops here you simply won’t find anywhere else.
What Brides Love
The sheer grandeur and 350 years of history, the Italianate parterre for photographs, boat trips on the Thames during the drinks reception, the five-star spa for pre-wedding pampering, and the impeccable service that makes you feel like royalty from the moment you arrive.

Jade’s Tip
Hair & Makeup at Cliveden House
The Lady Astor Suite is spacious and luxurious with excellent natural light from multiple windows — it’s genuinely one of the finest bridal prep spaces Jade works in. The five-star setting means every detail of your getting-ready morning feels special.
Cliveden is only about 10 minutes from Jade’s base in Windsor, so she knows it incredibly well and can be there at the drop of a hat. She always recommends staying the night before — waking up at Cliveden on your wedding morning is an experience in itself.
If you’re thinking about using the spa before the wedding, just remember to avoid anything that might cause redness or sensitivity in the days leading up. Jade suggests finishing any facial treatments at least a week before so your skin is settled and glowing.
