We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue or a more wonderful team to help make our special day so memorable. From the very beginning, the staff were absolutely amazing — kind, generous, accommodating and incredibly flexible. Their patience, warmth and genuine care made such a difference throughout the two days. They brought such positive energy to the celebrations and provided exceptional service, making everyone feel completely at home. What really stood out was how naturally the team became part of our families over the two days. They were so welcoming and personable, and it genuinely felt like they were part of the celebrations rather than simply providing a service. The staff’s adaptability, both throughout the two days and especially on the wedding day itself, made everything feel so easy-going and relaxed for us. They handled every little change with such calmness, kindness and professionalism, allowing us to fully enjoy the day without worrying about the details. The venue itself provided the perfect setting, while the incredible team behind it ensured everything flowed beautifully. Their positive energy, attention to detail and willingness to accommodate our wishes made the whole experience completely stress-free and so enjoyable. A huge thank you to the entire team for making our wedding so special and for going above and beyond in every way. The combination of such a beautiful venue and genuinely wonderful staff made our two days truly unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough! Particular thanks to Nicola, Stuart and Karen - Nicola was with us every step of the way prior to the wedding, and then Stuart and Karen were incredible coordinators on the day, SUCH wonderful staff and you can tell this is a well oiled team. Everyone genuinely loves each others company and they are all an excellent team, working well to be human, kind and fantastic. We loved our food, all guests remarked how great it was, and everyone loved the venue so much. We were so l

From the moment we visited Wentbridge House to look around the space they could offer for our wedding, I was in love with it all. The individual, personal touches all around the hotel, the way each room is furnished and the impeccable staff make Wentbridge House the perfect balance of relaxed and comforting. We had a large (36 people) family meal the night before our wedding with a hot buffet which was delicious in a relaxed atmosphere whilst also feeling special for our celebrations. Our guests mostly stayed at the hotel - some for 2 nights and the booking process was easy as well as everybody commenting on how lovely their room was, how helpful the staff were and how the food had been wonderful. Our wedding planning was easy, with Chloe always just an email away, everything that we had requested or asked about was always accommodated. We got married outside under the beautiful folly and enjoyed every second of canapés and drinks on the lawn, wedding breakfast and evening reception with wood fired pizzas. The charm of Wentbridge house is undeniable and we have the perfect reason to treat ourselves to a night of luxury every year for our anniversary. If you want a classic

I’ve recently got married and had my wedding reception at Wentbridge House Hotel. What an amazing location and setting for a wedding. If I had my time over, I would definitely choose Wentbridge House Hotel again. The hotel is situated in a quiet little village and has a folly in its grounds which was great for photos. What makes this particular venue spectacular is its staff. When planning our wedding, the staff at Wentbridge House Hotel were absolutely amazing, they are not just lovely people, but nothing was too much trouble for them and they were so focused on ensuring our day was very special. They didn’t just accommodate everything we wanted (eg special food requirements they’d never done before) but on the actual wedding day they took time to fix issues that had occurred with other suppliers to make sure our day was amazing, going above and beyond. I can’t thank the staff enough for making our day so special. Special thanks to Karen and Johnny who made the reception a joyous occasion, Karen’s personality is so bubbly that you can’t help but smile and feel really welcomed and Johnny played some great tunes to dance to and even played tracks he’d never played before, at our request. Special thanks also go to Matthew on reception, who was so helpful, not just on reception, but he also went the extra mile to ensure I arrived at the church for the wedding, when we were let down last minute by the car hire company we’d arranged. He also checked that I had transportation back to the hotel after the wedding had occurred. This leads me on to the General Manager - Catherine, who helped out with the car hire problems and arranged complimentary drinks whilst I waited for alternative transportation, she even covered reception whilst Matthew was helping me out. Throughout the whole process of organising the wedding, Nicola Guest the operations manager was very approachable and helped us to arrange our perfect day, nothing was too much trouble for her and she always responded quickly to all our queries. I’d also like to thank the bar staff Brittany, Maddison and Matthew; Chloe who organised things behind the scenes; the chef who created an amazing croquembouche and the rest of the reception staff who were all so helpful. Without all these people our wedding day would not have been as special and we wouldn’t have so many fond memories of the wedding day, made more special by all these amazing people. For future couples looking to get married - yes there are some nice venues in the area, but go take a look at Wentbridge House Hotel, you won’t be disappointed and it has a bit of extra finesse that the other venues don’t seem

We recently held our wedding at Wentbridge House Hotel on 30th March 2026, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the beginning, the planning process was smooth and well-organised, big thanks to Chloe, the events manager, who went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests. A special thank you also goes to Karen, our wonderful MC, who was warmly received by all our guests and helped make the day feel effortless, natural, and genuinely special. We’re also very grateful to Stuart for his support throughout. The venue is stunning and so many of our guests commented on how beautiful it was. The rooms were clean, comfortable and the entire team was friendly and professional. The food was also superb. We are truly grateful to everyone at Wentbridge House Hotel for making our special day so unf

Myself and my husband chose Wentbridge House as our wedding venue and we are absolutely thrilled that we did. From our first meeting with Chloe, the hotel’s Event Manager - we knew we had made the right choice. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning. Every detail is so well thought out, the decor is gorgeous and it really gives such a luxurious feel. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and every time we left, we couldn’t wait to return. Planning our wedding and deciding on the smaller details was such an easy and stress free process thanks to Chloe and all the team at Wentbridge. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they are on hand almost all of the time to answer any questions or offer any reassurance that you may need. We had numerous meetings which were so helpful and the menu tasting experience was absolutely fantastic. Arriving at Wentbridge to start our wedding weekend felt so surreal after over a year of planning, but upon arrival all of the staff made us feel so relaxed and comfortable. Every single person said how beautiful the venue was and how amazing and attentive the staff were. Our wedding day was truly beautiful and we can’t thank all of the staff at Wentbridge enough - especially Cosmin and Karen who were there with us throughout the whole day, again nothing was too much trouble and they looked after us amazingly. The felt like part of our family and we are so grateful for their advice and support on the day. The food and drinks are also out of this world! In summary, we wouldn’t have wanted to celebrate our wedding day anywhere else and we are so grateful that we chose Wentbridge. We will certainly be returning year on year to spend our anniversary in

As soon as we stepped into the hotel we knew we wanted to get married here! Such a gorgeous venue and the team were really accommodating to our requirements. Chloe was fantastic and understood everything that we wanted from the day. She then somehow took my vision and relayed it to Karen and the team on the day who were all superb. The comments we got from all our guests regarding the day, the staff, the food, the rooms was just amazing. We stayed the night before and the wedding night and everyone at the hotel from reception to events to the brasserie team all looked after us so well. Would I recommend the hotel for a night away/dinner/wedding? Absolutely 1000% yes to any and all of them. We will be back but i

We were married on Valentine's Day 2026 and couldn't be happier with the service provided at Wentbridge House. The weather gods shined on us which meant we could appreciate the grounds, even in winter. We stayed in one of the honeymoon suites, which was fabulous and very comfortable. The wedding itself was so easily managed by the team. They were flexible, supportive and responsive to our requests. There was nothing too big or small that they couldn't fulfil. We had the perfect day. Everything went exactly to plan. The quality of the food was superb. Our guests thought we spent 3 x what we actually pa

We got married at Wentbridge in August, and we honestly couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were struck not only by the beauty of the country house itself, with its charming character and stunning gardens, but also by the exceptional service delivered by every member of the team. The staff truly provide a 5-star experience. They were professional, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process. Many of our guests even went out of their way to tell us how wonderful the staff were on the day. As a same-sex couple, one of the biggest reasons we chose Wentbridge was because we were treated with complete warmth and equality from the very start. We always felt valued, respected, and celebrated, never “different”, and that meant the world to us. The food was another major highlight. There were plenty of options and the team were so flexible in tailoring everything to what we wanted. We chose afternoon tea for our wedding breakfast, and it went down brilliantly with our guests, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. A real luxury touch! Wentbridge is a perfect all rounder wedding venue. With family travelling from all over, having plenty of rooms on-site was ideal, and the variety of spaces throughout the hotel created a natural, enjoyable flow to the day. We were able to make the most of both the indoor and outdoor areas, giving us the best of both worlds. A special thank you to Chloe, Ellie, and Karen, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their support made the whole experience feel seamless. Our wedding day was everything we hoped for and more, and Wentbridge House played a huge part in that.

Wentbridge house is a beautiful venue for a wedding. The staff are fantastic and went above and beyond for us when we got married there in in June 2025. The food is delicious and the grounds are idyllic. The rooms are beautifully decorate and are modern but have their own traditional style. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone made us and our guests feel special. The day ran perfectly and we could not be happier with how our day went. We definitely recommend Wentbridge to

We booked our wedding here and it was the most perfect choice! From viewing the venue, to choosing the venue, to all the appointments to ensure everything little detail was covered, to the actual day; it was MAGICAL. Our wedding planner Nicola Guest was so thorough and super helpful and made sure everything we’d imagined became reality. On the day, Karen was also so amazing, making sure any nerves and jitters were settled asap and made sure the day flowed wonderfully. This venue truly holds a special place in our hearts now. Es

We live locally so knew we wanted to get married at Wentbridge, and they booked us in quickly for a show around and provided us a list of dates. We met with Ellie and throughout the whole process she answered endless questions and provided any information we needed. The food and drink was as per normal, brilliant! No compliants. Throughout our wedding day, Karen was absolutely amazing! She was very calming and helpful, couldn’t have done anymore for us. She was brilliant. Thanks for all your help Ellie, Karen and the whole team 💞
