The Elvetham is an exceptional wedding venue. My husband and I got married there in July 2026 and the team were absolutely brilliant throughout the entire process. We booked our wedding day in October 2024 after attending an open day. The wedding team were super responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. Our wedding Co-ordination, Philomena, could not have been lovelier or more helpful. Anytime we emailed or called with questions or requests, Philomena came back to us straight away with an answer and couldn’t have done more to help us have the most perfect day. The venue itself is stunning and the hotel staff were so welcoming on the many occasions that we visited between booking and our actual wedding day. The food is excellent! David, the lovely Toastmaster at The Elvetham, did a fantastic job of organising everyone on our wedding day. Every single one of our guests said how beautiful the venue was and what a perfect day our wedding day turned out to be. We couldn’t b

From the moment we first saw The Elvetham online, we completely fell in love with it. When we visited in person, we fell in love with it even more. It is even more beautiful than the photos, full of history, charm and character. We knew straight away that this was where we wanted to get married. We honestly don’t think there are enough words to describe how much The Elvetham means to us. It has become our favourite place. Of course, the venue itself is absolutely stunning, but what makes it truly special are the people. The staff make an already beautiful place even better. Throughout the whole planning process and on our wedding day, we felt so well looked after. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, helpful and personable. We are incredibly grateful to the entire wedding team, especially Georgia, who was always so friendly, helpful and reassuring. We would also like to thank the hotel manager, the reception team, the restaurant staff, the chef and kitchen team, and every single member of staff who helped make our day so special. The food deserves a special mention because it was absolutely incredible. Our wedding breakfast was amazing and received so many compliments from our guests. Every meal we have ever had at The Elvetham restaurant has also been exceptional, so we already knew our wedding food would be fantastic. The quality has always been consistently outstanding. We are also so pleased we chose to have the Toastmaster David as part of our wedding. He was absolutely brilliant and kept everything running so smoothly while bringing such warmth and professionalism to the day. We would highly recommend having him. What really made The Elvetham stand out were the thoughtful little touches. The night before our wedding, we were welcomed with complimentary chocolates and a lovely card. After the wedding, our stunning bridal suite was beautifully prepared with complimentary champagne, cake, decorations and another thoughtful card. On the day itself, as it was so hot, the hotel manager kindly arranged for all the children at our wedding to be given ice lollies. These may seem like small gestures, but they meant so much to us and perfectly reflect the genuine care and attention the team puts into making every guest’s experience special. We genuinely cannot fault a single person. We visited The Elvetham many times before our wedding, and every single visit was met with the same kindness and exceptional service. It was never just because we were getting married, that is simply how they treat all of their guests, and that says everything about the hotel. We had the most perfect day and couldn’t have wished for anything more. In fact, we already hope that one day one of our close family members or friends chooses to get married at The Elvetham, so that we can experience it all again from the perspective of wedding guests. We will continue to visit and stay at The Elvetham for years to come because it will always have such a special place in our heart

From start to finish the Elvetham has been incredible. ALL staff, from every department work their socks of you to make your magical day truly one of a kind. When met with what I thought were problems, the Elvetham team solved everything with such ease and grace. They were honestly incredible. The food was fantastic. Getting married in a heatwave was no easy task but everyone did all they could to keep us cool and comfortable. The wedding of my dreams and it would notnhave happened without the Elvetham! Absolutely review such a beautiful venue. Philomena helped plan ours and made sure everything was kept to in the planning. David the Toastmaster kept everyone in check and everyone moving.

We are an older couple and were looking for somewhere beautiful for a civil ceremony and lunch for 40 people. Elvetham was absolutely perfect! The hotel and grounds are beyond fabulous and the wedding team were professional and attentive. We had specific requirements and things we absolutely didn’t want and they listened and carried out everything we asked for. On the day we were made to feel extremely special and it was so calm that we were able to really enjoy our special day. They have a wonderful head chef who came and dis

Our wedding was spectacular! All our guests were mesmerised by The Elvetham and it's true beauty. We chose The Elvetham because it tells a story, has character and we felt like royalty since we set foot in it for the very first time.

We had the most amazing wedding day at The Elvetham on the 30/05/2025. We booked with the Elvetham back in 2023 and we fell in love with the venue as soon as we saw it, the grounds and building are absolutely stunning! We did book i feel at an awkward time with some changes in staff happening during our time. However I have to say once Joanne took charge of wedding she was absolutely amazing, nothing was too much trouble, all of our ideas came to life and the venue was very flexible in the ways we wanted to do things as we didn’t use the traditional rooms! ( such as ceramony outside and reception in the conservatory) The day itself couldn’t have gone more perfect and I can honestly say there was nothing that could have gone better on the day! Jenny in the banquet team was also fantastic making sure we got our canapés as the bride and groom and making sure our wedding breakfast ran smoothly! We’

This historic building of character, elegance and warmth made for our perfect winter wedding venue! We are so grateful to Amelia and the whole Elvetham Team for creating the wedding of our dreams! We had incredible support and engagement throughout the whole year of our wedding planning and it was exceptionally run throughout the day. The wonderful Elvetham Toastmaster also added fun, charm and brilliant structure for all the guests. All our guests also had the most wonderful wedding

We cannot recommend The Elvetham Hotel highly enough, it will always hold such a special place in our hearts as the venue where we got married in September this year. From the very beginning of our planning journey right through to the day itself, the Elvetham team provided first-class support and truly exceeded our expectations. On our wedding day, the operations team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. A huge thank you to our amazing wedding co-ordinator, Amelia, who joined us later in the process but made an incredible impact. She was always on hand to answer our questions, ease our minds, and make everything run smoothly. The Elvetham is not just a stunning venue but also a place where the staff genuinely care about making your experience unforgettable. My wife and I are already looking forward to visiting this wonderful hotel again in the future to relive the amazing memories on our first anniversary. If you're considering The Elvetham for any special occasion, we promise you won't be disappointed. Thank you again to the entire team! H & D
