From the first meeting to our wedding day the staff at Kelham couldn’t have been more helpful. No matter what the question or query they always did their best to answer or sort. Our wedding was on a hot May bank holiday and even in very hot weather the staff couldn’t be more helpful and looked after us and all our guests. The food was phenomenal and the venue is absolutely stunning. Natalie was out on the day

When we began the wedding planning process, we looked around multiple venues and can safely say, we knew we had found our dream venue the moment we arrived at Kelham. Set in the most stunning of grounds, Kelham’s beautiful building offers a timeless and classic venue but still encompasses modern interior designs. We fell in love with the beautiful ceremony and reception room and could instantly see ourselves getting married here. The fact that Kelham also has 2 bars and 2 extra rooms to use before, during and after the wedding too is just such an extra bonus. The team at Kelham are amazing. Natalie ensured or day ran smoothly from the beginning of the wedding organi

Kelham House was the very first venue on our list and honestly, the only one we truly needed. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the House Manager, Claire. She is a lovely lady who immediately made us feel at home with a glass of Prosecco before leading us on a tour of the stunning house and grounds. The setup, both inside and out, was breathtaking. We knew instantly: this is it, we are getting married here. Sitting down to go through the details was a breeze; the process was easy and entirely stress-free. Then we met Natalie, our wedding coordinator and decor specialist. Let me tell you, these ladies are incredible! Natalie’s vision for the decor was stunning; we wanted everything exactly as we saw it, and she delivered perfectly. Fast forward to the big day, we arrived around 11:00 AM and were completely overwhelmed by how amazing everything looked. From the gorgeous guest rooms to the perfection of the outdoor setup, it was a dream. The wedding breakfast room and tables were simply stunning, and our cake by Southwell Cakery was a masterpiece. The entire day was the best of my life. The canapés and wedding breakfast were delicious, and from start to finish, the service was brilliant. We finished our stay the next morning with breakfast served by Kai,

We just wanted to start by saying a huge thank you to everyone at Kelham House. We first visited in July last year and instantly fell in love. Claire made us feel so welcome during our initial tour, and from that moment, we knew it was the perfect venue—especially the beautiful outdoor areas. Our wedding coordinator, Olivia, was absolutely fantastic. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her. She truly understood our vision and brought our dream day to life. From the smallest details to ensuring everything ran smoothly, she allowed us to relax and fully enjoy every moment of our wedding. A big thank you as well to Head Chef Jitka and the entire kitchen team. The food was incredible—so many of our guests commented on both the quality and generous portions. The wedding breakfast service was flawless and perfectly organised. We’d also like to mention Connor, the night porter, who kindly gathered and secured all of our belongings and decorations overnight, making everything so easy for us the following morning. Every single member of the team at Kelham House has been amaz

The most beautiful wedding venue! A special shout-out to Natalie, our amazing wedding coordinator. She is truly exceptional at her job—organized, calm, and unbelievably supportive. Natalie anticipated things before we even thought of them, kept everything running flawlessly on the day, and made us feel completely at ease. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without her.

I can’t express highly enough how much I recommend the team at Kelham House. Our coordinator, Natalie, answered all the questions I had throughout the process and helped the entire wedding day go so smoothly. For the venue as well we found it was just so ideal to have the ceremony and reception in the same place and with there being 12 rooms on site it was so convenient for family to stay over too. Nothing was ever too much and they truly mad

Kelham House provided us with the most special day, we truly couldn’t have asked for anything more from them. Natalie, our coordinator, worked with us to ensure every tiny detail was planned to perfection. She joined in with us, laughed with us, and made our vision come to life. We think back to our wedding and talk about it all the time, and we get so many compliments from family and friends, including pointing out Natalie dan
