Magical moments just for you
If you wanted something a bit smaller, an elopement in the Duke Humfrey’s Library might be just for you. Hidden away in the Bodleian, this space is an unparalleled backdrop to your big day. Contact us today to start planning your elopement!
Please note that the Duke Humfrey’s Library is not a legally recognised wedding venue, so only celebrant-led ceremonies can be held in this space. You can find our list of recommended celebrants here, but friends and family are also able to lead a non-legal ceremony.
