We couldn’t have been happier with our decision to get married at Horsley Towers. It is an absolutely stunning venue and, compared with similar venues in the area, we found it very competitively priced for everything it offers. It also photographs incredibly well – there are beautiful backdrops around practically every corner. What initially drew us to Horsley was the history of the building, particularly its connections to the Lovelace family. Our tour with Georgia was the real selling point for us and made us fall in love with the Towers. It gave the venue a sense of character and story that we just didn’t find elsewhere. The venue itself struck exactly the right balance for us: luxurious and impressive without ever feeling excessive, with beautifully proportioned spaces and all the amenities you need conveniently close by. The bedrooms were also beautiful, and the freestanding bathtub in the bridal suite was absolute perfection! We were particularly impressed by Katie, Georgia, Sheldon and the wider team. Horsley is understandably a very popular wedding venue – our wedding was sandwiched between two others – but they still have a remarkable way of making you feel as though your wedding is the only one that matters. Throughout the planning process and on the day itself, everyone was efficient, practical and reassuring. We also held a tea ceremony, which the team approached with respect and enthusiasm. You can immediately tell that the team has a huge amount of experience and knows exactly what they’re doing, which takes so much pressure off you as a couple. Horsley gave us the beautiful, historic setting we had hoped for, backed up by a highly experienced team who made everything run seamlessly. We have so many wonderful mem

A huge thank you to everyone at De Vere Horsley Estate for making our wedding day so incredibly special. From the very beginning of our planning journey through to the wedding day itself, every member of the team was welcoming, professional, and so attentive. We always felt supported, and nothing ever seemed too much trouble. A special thank you goes to Katie, our wedding coordinator, who was amazing throughout the entire process. She was organised, reassuring, and always on hand to answer our questions, helping everything come together perfectly. On the day, Katie and the wider team worked seamlessly behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and it provided the perfect setting for our wedding. We received so many compliments from our guests about the beautiful surroundings, the delicious food, and the outstanding service. We're so grateful to Katie and the entire team for all the hard work, care, and dedication that went into making our wedding everything we had dreamed of and more. Thank you for creating an unforgettable experience and memories that we'll cherish for a lifetime. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend De Ve

This really is the perfect location for a truly stunning wedding. As parents of the bride, all we wanted was to see our daughter and her future husband enjoy a wonderful, stress-free weekend, culminating in the perfect wedding day; and that is exactly what we got! Evie and her team were so accommodating and made the whole experience so much more relaxing than it could have been. The list of suppliers was a huge help, and their expertise, combined with their knowledge of the venue, did so much to ensure the day ran smoothly. We cannot thank your team enough for all the tremendous work you all put in to making this such a magical day. Throughout the whole weekend we all felt very special and that nothing was too much trouble. Every person was so professional, so willing to help, so kind and so fully engaged with the event. It was simply superb. There are so many of you who played such an important part in making the event the success it so truly was. The Master of Ceremonies, gave the occasion that special sense of grandeur and helped keep everything and everyone on track. The food was excellent, the management of the bar and the food for the night before, with firepits and marshmallows and outside games, worked like clockwork. So many individuals to thank, and we do thank you all! We would also like to pay tribute to all those involved with the upkeep of the Horsley Towers Estate. The whole property is simply magnificent and maintained to the very highest level. The property sparkled in the sun, the gardens looked superb, and inside, the rooms and reception areas were magnificent, all of which provided wonderful pho

Thanks to De Vere Horsley our whole UK experience was fanstastic and we count ourselves so lucky for them making our wedding amazing! The staff were like an instant extended family.

Every member of staff was outstanding, the service top class, the food amazing, lots of amazing feed back from our guests on it all. We were very blessed how all the co ordination came together, even when someone got make up on a jacket they had that sorted. Honestly we could not have wished for

De Vere Horsley Estate was the perfect setting for our wedding – a venue that combined stunning scenery with timeless character. The beautiful grounds and unqiue charm of the house made for the most incredible photo opportunities, giving us memories we’ll treasure forever. From the very beginning, the wedding team were outstanding. Their professionalism and flexibility stood out, and they were always on hand to offer guidance and support throughout the planning process. No request was too much, and their attention to detail helped everything come together perfectly. On the day, the team ensured everything ran like clockwork, allowing us to enjoy every moment without a single worry. Their calm and friendly approach put us completely at

I couldn’t recommend this venue more – we had the most perfect wedding day! The building and grounds are breathtaking, with so much history and plenty of beautiful spots for photos. The package was affordable and included everything we needed, like chairs, tables, cutlery, and even an amazing toastmaster who gave history tours to our guests! We also had a fantastic 3-hour DJ set included, which kept the energy going all night. The staff were incredible from start to finish, guiding us through planning and organisation with such attention to detail. Their communication was fantastic; they always offered advice and responded to any queries quickly. On the day, they made us feel so special and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The whole team truly had everything under control and made us feel completely at ease. The food was amazing, and the menu tasting was such a memorable experience—it was also included! The chef was so flexible and even tailored the meal just for us. The chef and staff were incredibly attentive to dietary needs and handled all allergies with great care, including my nut allergy. They went out of their way to ensure that every dish was safe and delicious, giving us complete peace of mind. The venue also let us borrow extras like giant games, umbrellas, and menu stand

Could not wish for a more perfect venue and Horsley' employees were so supportive. We has to move our wedding 4 times due to the pandemic and Horsley were so understanding and incredible throughout which I know was not the case with many other wedding venues. This goes to show they care about their clients and were so flexible to make sure we had the perfcet day. Everyone went above and beyond and it worked like a drea

Great venue and location. Food was good but the communication was poor between the planning team and the service team on the day. To start with we were told we will have 1 wedding planner through thw whole process. This was not the case. I understand that most often venues have 1 person to make the deal and another to manage the event, but had our expectations been set right , we wouldnt have been disappointed. There was no coordination from the planner with any of our suppliers. I believer they should have proactively asked us for their contact and contacted them to co-ordinate the day. But other than the suppliers that they gave us they didn't even want to know who/what we were going with. On the day, our Bridal party was delayed as were most of the guests and some of them missed all the canapes and welcome drinks. When asked, I was told, the rounds were over, and we needed to proceed for wedding breakfast. I think this could have been better managed. I know for sure the canapes were not over. We had paid extra for the canapes and drinks but my bridal party were left without it. We were told, any unused proccesso and drinks will be moved to the tab on the Bar that didn't happen. To top it all, my decorations from the day went missing after the wedding. I had to return these to the hire company but ending up paying Overall, the venue was amazing but we could have done with better service.
