We had the most incredible wedding at Chilworth Manor and genuinely could not have wished for a better venue or team. From the moment we started planning, Hannah, Emily, Liss, Ellie and the entire team went above and beyond to accommodate every request, making us feel that nothing was ever too much trouble. On the day itself, the hotel and gardens looked absolutely stunning, the terrace was perfect for our champagne reception and violinist, the food was delicious and the service was exceptional, with so many thoughtful little touches happening behind the scenes to make everything run seamlessly. Our guests repeatedly commented on how beautiful the venue was and how wonderfully they were looked after. The flexibility we were given with setting up beforehand, storing our dresses and wedding items, accommodating our large number of overnight guests, corkage arrangements and all our individual food and drink requests made such a difference. Even the following morning, the team arranged for around 70 of us to have breakfast together in the Lord Shelburne Suite, which was such a thoughtful gesture and gave us a wonderful final opportunity to sit together and reminisce about the previous day. Weddings are incredibly expensive, but afterwards my husband and I asked each other whether, knowing what we know now, we would spend the money and do it all again - and the answer was absolutely yes. We loved every minute, our guests loved it, and I am already wondering what event we can plan next so we can return! Thank you to

From the moment our original venue phoned us to say they was unfortunately shutting down, right up to the night of our wedding, Hannah and her team have been nothing but amazing! They made it feel so easy, less stressful and took a lot off our plates. From the first meeting we knew we was in great hands. Our day went without a hitch, nothing was to big of a ask, the food was lovely, the rooms was great, breakfast was delicious 😋 and the lovely card, champagne and petals in our honeymoon sweet was such a lovely touch. The biggest thing for me was how understanding they was when I told them about my father that recently had a motorcycle accident, they went above and beyond to make sure he was looked after. We cant thank the team enough for everything they've done for us, our families and friends. We wo

We got married at Chilworth Manor in Aug 2024. From day one the experience was amazing, and it was a no brainier which venue we wanted to choose for our special day. We met with one of the wedding coordinators Phoebe, who talked us through the various packages, which were reasonably priced, and we were shown around the gorgeous venue which has so many beautiful photo spots. We had a few wedding co-ordinators throughout the planning process, but all were so friendly and approachable, and guided us every step of the way in our planning. The day went by perfectly, with the help of Liz. The staff went above and beyond to make our day very spec

Chilworth Manor was the first venue we viewed and from the moment Phoebe gave us a tour of the grounds, we knew we wanted our special day to be within those beautiful grounds. Phoebe became our personal wedding planner and has answered all of our questions, offered advice when we have needed it and helped to perfect the plan for our ceremony and celebration. She has gone out of her way to change things to suit our guests special requests. We met George 3 days before the wedding and immediately felt that the event was in very safe hands with our host. He made sure we were exactly where we needed to be and when. He even took control of the ceremony music for us. George interacted with our guests and had everyone laughing, cheering and applauding, he was fantastic and it would not have been the same without him, what a character! Our wedding breakfast was a real talking point. The food was even more delicious than it was at our tasting session. The portion sizes were very generous and everyone was happy. The kitchen, waiting and bar staff all did an amazing job and everything ran like clockwork. We were extremely lucky to have a gorgeous sunny day so we were able to use the outstandingly beautiful grounds for some amazing photographs, which we will treasure forever. Luckily we live fairly close by and we can visit the grounds whenever we like. We will be sure to make the most of these opportunities and will definitely recommend Chilworth Manor as a wedd

Our wedding reception at Chilworth Manor was exceptional. Throughout the planning process, our co-ordinator Hannah was always reachable which was immensely reassuring. Hannah's thorough communication and accommodation of our every request ensured the day ran smoothly, and our face-to-face meetings as the big day approached proved that no detail would be forgotten. On the day, our toastmaster George, the catering staff, and everyone else involved went above and beyond for ourselves and our guests. Having our September wedding on the hottest day of the year was one thing we couldn't have planned for, but the attentiveness of the staff made all the difference, keeping the arrival drinks cold and opening an extra air-conditioned space for our guests to cool down just beside the terrace. George made us feel special throughout the day and enthusiastically helped us include a game and a song performance during the wedding breakfast. An older family member of ours was unable to attend until the evening due to the hot weather, but upon our request his three course meal was served hot when he arrived, which we cannot praise the catering staff enough for. Overall, throughout our entire experience with Chilworth, nothing was t

We got married at Chilworth Manor in July 2023. From day one the experience was amazing, and it was a no brainier which venue we wanted to choose for our special day.

We just wanted to say the biggest Thankyou from both myself & Sam for the most amazing wedding day! It was everything we imagined plus more! We are so grateful for the smooth planning and amazing coordination on the day. Both yourself and George where absolutely amazing! The whole day was a dream and couldn’t of gone any better! The food throughout the day tasted absolutely amazing, and was coordinated so well to ensure there wasn’t a rush but had so much on offer! George absolutely smashed the day, He was so polite, professional and energetic, It really made the day so much more relaxing and fun! From start to finish your planning was impeccable, you really listened to everything we wanted and took our vision and created it exactly how we imagined. Your communication throughout was amazing, it made planning a wedding so easy! Every single member of staff we encountered were smiley and helpful, the Bar staff were so friendly and there never seemed to be a queue due to how quickly they worked! I am so glad we choose chilworth for our venue,

We had our perfect wedding day at Chilworth Manor! We went to look at the venue in February 2022 and were amazed at how the photographs online didn’t do it justice! The updated reception, bar area & restaurant really had the WOW factor! In the Spring and Summer, the driveway leading up the manor looks pretty spectacular too! And the grounds!! That’s what we truly fell in love with!! Throughout our wedding planning process, communication with the events team and our wedding planner Phoebe was so easy! They were always on hand and really quick at getting back to us whenever we had any questions or worries! Nothing was ever too much trouble!! In the lead up to the day, we felt extremely reassured and were in constant communication with the hotel! We had final details and handover meetings with our wedding planner and the team and we really felt our day was in safe hands! On the day… it couldn’t have been smoother! Both myself and the groom got ready in the hotel as did many of our friends and family and everything was brilliant! There wasn’t a single fault with the entire day! All of our guests said about how well the day flowed! Alex was in constant contact with us throughout - making sure we knew everything that was happening & we were kept informed at every stage! Anything we asked for was done straight away! And the food was even better than when we went for our menu tasting! There were so many special touches I could go on forever!! But we can’t

We are just on our way back from our honeymoon and I wanted to say a huge thank you to yourself and all the staff at Chilworth Manor (particularly Kevin and Dom). The venue was everything we dreamed of and the day went so smoothly! The food was highly complimented and to such a good standard. The staff were approachable - and went above and beyond to help out. Dom was fab in helping us get things to the coach house, distributing the food and was always ready to help out. T
