Thank wotton house for getting us married on valentines days! And what a special day it was. From all the all emails with lovely Jodie and her team catering to me and my somewhat crazy emails 😂. If you’re considering

We had a lovely wedding day at Wotton House in June and will always look back on it fondly. Our coordinator Lydia was brilliant from start to finish. She was very prompt answering all of our questions and made sure all the planning went smoothly. Many guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and it was set up so perfectly on the day. The staff constantly engaged with us to make sure everything in the reception room looked exactly as we wanted it. Everything ran smoothly and all the food was very tasty. All different dietary requirements were easily catered for and we couldn't have asked for anything better. One of the young guests slept through the wedding breakfast and this was sorted promptly by the staff when she woke up very hungry! When we originally looked at Wotton House we felt it might be too far from the church we were looking at so wouldn't be viable, but we're so glad we changed our plans as we couldn't have asked for anything better. We would recommend the venue to others as it was wonderful and we felt well cared

Wedding August 2026. Secret walled garden for pre-wedding barbecue evening, and wedding day at Wotton. A huge thank you to the entire Wotton House team for everything they did to make our wedding so incredibly special. From the very beginning of our wedding journey, they made the whole experience feel exciting, seamless and completely stress-free. We always felt so well looked after, and our wedding coordinators organisation, guidance and support throughout the planning process gave us so much confidence that everything was going to come together perfectly. And it really did! We had so many compliments from our guests about how seamless the whole day felt and how beautifully everything was run. We know there is an enormous amount of work that goes on behind the scenes to make a wedding feel effortless, and we really appreciated every single person who played a part in making it that way. From our fantastic toastmaster Bill (who the best man was certainly competing with to keep things in check on the day 🤣) to the staff behind the bar or serving us food and cocktails etc… The food was also absolutely incredible. We have had so many compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was, from the wedding breakfast right through to food the following morning. The beetroot and goat’s cheese starter in particular was a huge favourite — so many people mentioned how surprisingly lovely it was! Everything was presented and cooked so beautifully, and it really exceeded our expectations. We wish we could eat it all over again. We also want to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped us over the following days with collecting our things and making sure everything was sorted. It was so lovely to have that same level of kindness and helpfulness even after the wedding itself had finished. Wotton House was the most beautiful setting for our wedding, and we genuinely couldn’t imagine having celebrated anywhere else. We fe

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue or a more incredible team. Wotton’s staff were absolutely wonderful throughout the whole day. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and everyone was so warm, helpful and attentive. A particular mention has to go to Jodie, who was amazing from the very beginning. She was incredibly helpful throughout all of the planning and coordination beforehand, always on hand, organised and reassuring. The toastmaster and on the day coordinators meant we did not have to worry about a thing! We were told by close friends it was “the best food we’ve ever had at a wedding”. We particularly loved the chicken main course and yummy canapés. They also brought a breakfast spread to the getting ready room which was delicious. We even received slices of our wedding cake waiting for us in the room in as we hadn’t time to grab some slices ourselves during the day. The venue team were so thoughtful and even dealt with last minute requests easily and promptly (eg where our guests guzzled through what we had allocated for Prosecco!) We had the most amazing day and honestly couldn’t recommend the venue highly enough. We’ve had seve

We had an excellent wedding day at Wotton House and will always look back on it with such amazing memories. From the planning stages through to the day itself, the team were great and helped make everything feel truly special. A special mention has to go to Jodie, who was great throughout the planning process. She really took the time to understand what we wanted and listened to any concerns we had during the lead up to the wedding, which helped us plan the day perfectly. Jodie helped us to make the most of all the beautiful spaces Wotton House has to offer throughout the day, including the secret garden. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was, and it really did provide the perfect setting for our wedding. On the day itself, a huge shoutout to Ashley and Lauren, who worked so hard behind the scenes to make sure everything ran as smoothly as possible and that both we and our guests had the best time. Ashley was especially helpful in sorting out a couple of unexpected things on the day, taking the stress away from us and allowing us to simply enjoy every moment. The food and drinks were delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure all of our guests were well looked after and catered for, including accommodating dietary requests wherever possible. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day. Wotton House was the perfect venue, and the team played such a huge part in makin

Wotton House was the perfect venue for our wedding and even made the whole planning experience so much more enjoyable and straightforward than we expected. All my friends had warned me how stressful planning a wedding can be, but Wotton genuinely made it feel easy. After getting engaged, we spent about a week solidly researching venues and Wotton appeared to tick all our boxes - Vickey gave us a tour, gave us more details and it only confirmed how perfect the venue was - we reserved our date the very same day and without having looked anywhere else! From the very beginning, the team were incredibly organised, clear and responsive, and our coordinator Vickey was exceptional. She was so helpful throughout, always quick to respond and somehow seemed just as excited about the wedding as we were, despite probably speaking to multiple couples a day about their respective weddings! The venue itself is simply stunning. The beautiful Italian gardens and various room options make it such a unique setting. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how beautiful Wotton was, and we were so lucky to have gorgeous sunshine on the day, which made the gardens and grounds look even more spectacular. On the day itself, the team were fantastic. There was so much space for me to get ready with my bridal party, which made the morning feel really special and relaxed. The Wotton team also took all of our decorations and personal touches and laid everything out beautifully, meaning we could completely switch off and enjoy getting ready without worrying about the details. The food - no words, just incredible! We also loved our food tasting and it was also great to invite our parents along to help us decide our menu. The Toastmaster included in our package was another huge bonus. Bill was fantastic on the day, keeping everything organised and making sure we stayed on schedule. Alongside Vickey and the rest of the Wotton team, it meant we never had to worry about timings or what was happening next, we could simply relax and enjoy every second with our guests. We also really appreciated Wotton’s recommended supplier list. It was clear that they only work with the best suppliers, which made choosing the other elements of our wedding so much easier and gave us complete confidence that everything would come together perfectly. Our wedding day was everything we wanted and more, and Wotton House played such a huge part in making it so special. The venue, t

We recently had our wedding at Wotton House, and we couldn't have chosen a better venue! From day one of booking, the team at Wotton couldn't do enough to accommodate us. The venue is absolutely stunning, the old library was the key room in our decision making but the whole grounds are beautiful with the Italian gardens. The hotel rooms were lovely and comfortable, and all our guests enjoyed their stay. On the day, everything ran so smoothly. The team made sure everything was exactly as we'd asked, taking all of our decorations and personal items and displaying them beautifully without us having to worry about a thing. The team even arranged all our flowers beautifully the next morning, in the separate wedding party breakfast area. It was such a thoughtful gesture and allowed us and our guests to enjoy them for even longer. We are so grateful to everyone at Wotton House for helping make our day so special and memorable. We would highly recommend Wotton House to any

Our New Year’s Eve wedding at Wotton House was everything we had ever dreamt of. Our vision became a reality. From the moment we walked around the venue, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. The Old Library was the perfect place for us to say our vows to one another. It was decorated exactly how we envisioned it, with our guests amazed when they walked to their seats. It truly was the WOW factor! Vickey was our wedding coordinator and she truly was incredible. There was nothing she couldn’t do for us. Every email I sent had a quick response, she was there every time I needed her. She was there on the morning of the wedding, making sure everything ran smoothly. She was even waiting for me before I walked down the aisle, to make sure my dress was perfect. The wedding breakfast was incredible. Numerous guests raved about the food and wine ( especially the sticky toffee pudding 😂) The toast master made our wedding, he was incredible. He made sure the day went to plan and that Conor and I had the best day ever. If you are thinking of having your wedding at Wotton House, 100% do it. They honestly

Wotton House is an absolutely incredible venue for such an important celebration. The staff and facilities are amazing, and we are so happy to have had our wedding there this May. Vickey was attentive, professional and always ready to help during the planning stage; making everything simple and stress-free. The event itself went off without a hitch, largely due to the efficiency of the staff (even adapting to a last-minute change of plans!). We received many compliments from our

We had our wedding at Wotton house in September and I cannot recommend this venue enough for your wedding day. Not only is it absolutely stunning, I had goosebumps the first time I saw the old library dressed up but the team are fantastic. Our coordinator Vicky made the whole planning process so easy. She kept everything in order of what we wanted & gave us ideas. Her and the team on the day were amazing and the day ran so smoothly. Everyone said to be prepared for things to go wrong but

This venue is absolutely stunning and the staff know how to make the most of the beautiful vistas. From the gorgeous outside ceremony area to the stunning getting ready areas, every inch of the venue feels dreamlike. The food was delicious and elevated, and the kitchen and staff were accommodating to our dietary requirements an

Wotton house was the perfect venue for the day of our dreams. We were so lucky to find it and our guests could not stop complimenting how beautiful it was. Simply put, it is a stunning venue. The gorgeous gardens, the fairy-tale/slightly gothic like setting and the incredible temple, far outweighed any other place. We were incredibly lucky to have gorgeous sunshine after a week of rain, making everything look more beautiful. The team at Wotton were exceptional in every way, leading up to and on the day. They made the whole experience seamless, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every second. Special thanks to our coordinator Vickey, who was just incredible. She is incredibly kind, patient and beyond helpful. She always seemed just as excited as we were, and it was an absolute joy to plan our day with her help. Vickey just made everything easier. We would also like to thank out Toastmaster Bill, he was fantastic on the day, keeping things organised and all our guests loved him. Our wedding day was all that we wanted and more. It was the best day of our lives and Wotton House played a huge part in that.

Wotton house as a venue speaks for itself, a stunning setting that just gets better and better around every corner, we fell in love with it for our July 4th wedding at first sight. Planning our day with Vickey was everything and more, her friendly approach makes you feel she is just as excited as you are along side her patience she helped guide us through process with ease! Right by my side taking care of the finer details on the day she helped me feel relaxed and foc

We could not have chosen a better venue for our wedding than Wotton House. From start to finish, the team made the whole experience feel completely carefree and exceptionally well organised, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment of our day. The venue itself looked absolutely beautiful in the late spring bloom, particularly the gardens, which provided the perfect backdrop for such a special occasion. The food was fantastic, and so many of our guests commented on both the quality of the meal and how attentive and friendly the staff were throughout the day. A special mention must go to our Toastmaster, Bill, who was amazing. He kept everything running seamlessly, made us feel completely at ease and added a wonderful personal touch that our guests genuinely enjoyed. The only point worth noting was that, due to the unusually high temperatures, some guests found the bedrooms quite warm without air conditioning. However, the staff were extremely supportive and proactive in helping to find solutions wherever they could. Our wedding day was everything we hoped it would be, and Wotton House played such an important part in making it so memorable. We will always look back on the day with incredibly happy memories and would wholeheartedly recommend the venue to other couples.
