Christenings and Baptisms
There’s nothing more special than welcoming a new member to the family. Whether you’re celebrating a baptism, naming ceremony, or christening, Prested Hall offers a beautiful and serene backdrop.
The Orangery, flooded with natural light, is ideal for daytime receptions. Choose custom florals, soft linens, and a light buffet or afternoon-style setup to suit the occasion. The adjacent gardens are perfect for family photos or a casual stroll post-event.
Prested’s team can help coordinate your ceremony and recommend trusted celebrants, caterers, and entertainers.
