Every single person we worked with was so professional and really knew what they were talking about (we found this a rarity across other venues we toured). We were handed over to Jamie Rennie 6 months before the big day and hit it off instantly although we’ve no doubt he makes all couples feel as at ease as we did. Nothing was too much trouble, he brought energy (and an immense amount of patience at times) when we were flagging and just overall made the whole process totally seamless, he really had our backs and worked so hard both in the lead up and on the day to give us the day of our dreams. Both my husband and I felt Jamie was an integral part of our wedding, we absolutely loved working with him. A special thank you also to Bobby who was a total superstar on the night too. Ashridge will always hold a very special place in our hearts.

What a day. We had big ideas and no clue about how to turn our dream venue into our dream wedding. We were so lucky (and forever grateful) to Sophie, who went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. Every single member of the team was a pleasure to work with and we had so many compliments about the staff at Ashridge from our guests throughout the day. Big shout out to Bobby and Gary who couldn’t do enough behind the scenes and make the whole journey that lot smoother and give us the time to enjoy the moment throughout. The service for the wedding breakfast was impeccable and the food itself stunning. We had a lot of requests from guests with allergies but the meals were adapted and delivered with excellence. Thank you to everyone who was involved on the day we can’t thank you enough. We shared our first date at the house 10 years ago, and now can write another chapter in our story, that you’ve played a huge role in. Thank you so much!

We got married in April and it truly felt like a dream. The venue is absolutely beautiful, and the staff were all so friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the whole day.

We got married on 25 April 2026, and we had a truly wonderful time. Sophie, our wedding event manager, was incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process and made everything feel smooth and manageable!

We were able to visit the venue multiple times in advance, which really helped us plan and feel confident about the day. We opted to dry hire the venue and chose a caterer and photographer/ videographer who were not on the preferred supplier list, and thankfully everything came together seamlessly, they all worked really well as a team.

We received so many compliments from our guests about the venue, the food, and the overall experience. It was an unforgettable day, and we couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you!

We got married at Ashridge House on 14 February 2026.

At every stage of the process, from our initial tour of the venue, to the planning process, to the day itself, everyone at Ashridge (in particular our coordinator Melissa) went above and beyond.

During the year and a half lead up to our wedding, Melissa answered any query extremely responsively and nothing was ever too much of an ask. She ensured that we kept on track with regular meetings in the six month lead up and paid such amazing attention to detail.

As to the wedding day itself, from the moment we arrived on the afternoon prior everyone at Ashridge was so warm, accommodating and honestly could not do enough for us (a comment we also received from so many of our guests). As a perfectionist who had literal nightmares for over a year prior to the day worrying about all the things that could go wrong, I wish I had not worried - the team ensured that everything ran absolutely perfectly.

You only need to look at pictures of Ashridge House to see how beautiful it is but what really makes it is the professionalism, exceptionally high standards of service and warm nature of the team. Our wedding day was genuinely the most perfect and best day of our lives and the team at Ashridge House has such a big part to play in that.

We got married at the venue in December. While there were many positives, there were also a number of significant issues that caused frustration throughout the planning process.
When we viewed the venue, it was stunning. Some areas were unavailable due to works, and we were unable to view the accommodation at that time. We later attended a wedding open day, which allowed us to see the rooms.
One of the main reasons we chose this venue was because fireworks were permitted. This was discussed repeatedly and confirmed in writing within our contract. We had agreed to fireworks at 8pm with a hot chocolate station, and this was checked multiple times. However, when we contacted the fireworks supplier, they advised that fireworks were not permitted at the venue during November and December. The venue later confirmed this was due to the Christmas illuminations.
After considerable back and forth, the venue agreed to honour the original agreement. However, no time restrictions were disclosed at this point. We were later informed by the supplier that fireworks could not take place until after 10pm. Despite having written confirmation for an 8pm display, we were forced to accept the later time. Had this information been disclosed at the time of booking, we would have chosen a different venue, as the fireworks were intended for children.
We were also not informed of further restrictions, including limits on height and noise levels. These were only disclosed late in the process. Fireworks were extremely important to us, and ultimately they were a disappointment.
We were told we would have exclusive use of the venue; however, this was not accurate. Another event was taking place on the grounds, and those guests continued socialising late into the night, disturbing our guests. Additionally, the grounds were open to the public for the Christmas illuminations, something we were not informed of until after booking. Guests staying at the venue access the bar in the venue and the reception area as well.
Food
The food was excellent. While the original wedding menu was not our preference, the venue was accommodating and offered a Christmas dinner, which was delicious. The tasting experience was very good, and the food on the day received numerous compliments from our guests.
We also had a guest with a severe nut allergy. The chef and team went above and beyond to ensure there was no risk of cross-contamination, including providing an alternative menu for the table. We are extremely grateful for this level of care.
Accommodation
Accommodation caused the most stress. The booking link was not sent when promised, despite guests travelling internationally who required accommodation details for visas. We had to chase this repeatedly. Once received, the system did not function correctly for international guests and was difficult to use overall.
Despite being told our guests had priority booking until one month before the wedding, rooms were being allocated to another event. Guests contacted us in a panic when rooms appeared unavailable. Only after firm discussions were additional rooms released.
There were also errors on arrival. A room we had booked for the brides brother was not available due to a check-in mistake. We were asked to book and pay for another room, which was unacceptable. Booking rooms with children was unnecessarily complicated.
We were also told staying the night before the wedding would not be an issue however, we could only book the cheapest room unless we waited until the week of the wedding, with no guarantee of securing the room we were staying in on the wedding night.
Check-in time was 3pm, directly during the wedding. Many guests left our drinks reception to check in. This process does not work and requires review.
The rooms themselves are recently decorated and attractive. However, cleanliness was inconsistent. Our honeymoon suite felt dusty, with spiders in the bed and webs in the bathroom. Several guests reported freezing rooms. Our own room was so cold that our breath was visible. While maintenance attended promptly, only part of the room heated, which was particularly concerning as we had our baby with us.
Staff
The staff on the wedding day were exceptional. The facilities manager, buggy drivers, and grounds staff were all outstanding. Their professionalism and warmth ensured the day itself ran seamlessly.
Organisation and Communication
Communication between departments was poor. We were given conflicting information regarding access to the Christmas illuminations, resulting in guests unnecessarily purchasing tickets. Refunds were not proactively offered, and the process was unclear and cumbersome.
The bar service was also disappointing. Although unused funds were refunded, guests were informed of the remaining balance and encouraged to order doubles and premium drinks. This was unprofessional and not what was agreed in advance.
Throughout the planning process, we had to chase repeatedly, including for paid extras we wanted that never materialised. We did not feel like a priority, despite the significant cost. Small details, such as a promised gift from the tasting experience, were never followed up.
In summary, while the wedding day itself was faultless due to excellent on-the-day staff, the planning process was disorganised and stressful. For the cost, we expected significantly better communication, transparency, and coordination.

We had the privilege of getting married on the 3 January 2026 at Ashridge House and what a day it was! From booking the venue to the wedding day itself, Ashridge House have been flawless in supporting us and ensuring our day ran smoothly. Megan our wedding coordinator was not only a joy to work with, but went above and beyond in ensuring everything went to plan!

We had the most beautiful wedding at Ashridge House on 21/11/25. From start to finish all the staff were extremely friendly and professional. The venue and grounds are stunning, and the honeymoon suite is perfect. Our wedding coordinator Melissa Grant was very organised and helpful throughout the planning and on the day.
The meal options for meat eaters were great with our guests commenting how good the food was, however, the feedback was not as positive for the vegetarian options. This is an area Ashridge could improve to give more variety to those who don’t/can’t eat meat.
Having the gym and pool to use on the morning of the wedding was great as a nice way to start the day.
Overall, we would definitely recommend Ashridge House as a perfect venue for a beautiful wedding.

Oh where do i start? We had the most beautiful wedding at Ashridge House on the 15th November. This was a dream wedding venue for us & it did not disappoint. I can't tell you how amazing they were from booking until our big day. On the day our wedding co-ordinator Beth took care of everything, made sure all my suppliers knew what to do and when & also ensuring we were all ready for the start time. We had access to lots of rooms to get ready in, the whole Ashridge team were amazing & the food was incredible. Every single guest was blown away by the stunning venue, the friendly staff and the amazing food. Ashridge is worth every penny if you want a dream wedding.

Ashridge House is one of the most beautiful venues I've ever seen, and full of history from the Middle Ages to WWII and beyond. From booking the venue through the planning, the staff were wonderful and helpful. Our wedding coordinator Libby was a lifesaver and helped take so much of the pressure off.
The wedding was planned out meticulously, which made everything run so smoothly on the day. The dedicated team went above and beyond to assist us and our guests. We've had so much positive feedback from our guests, who felt well taken care of, as did we!
We can't recommend Ashridge House enough for all those who love a castle-like aesthetic, fairytale glamour and centuries of history rolled into one beautiful package!

We had the most wonderful wedding day at Ashridge House in May 2025. From booking to the end of our day, the whole team looked after us. Our lovely coordinator was always on hand and helped organise before and during the day she seamlessly reorganised any issues. We loved being able to stay on site. The food was exceptional and our guests loved the day and commented on how happy it was and what a memorable venue. We loved being able to go back to visit and see the garden to reminisce. Thank you so much!

We had the most amazing wedding at Ashridge House. The entire process was smooth and stress-free, and the day itself was truly unforgettable. Everything ran seamlessly, and the venue was absolutely stunning.

We had the absolute wedding of our dreams at Ashridge House — it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we booked a viewing to the day we got married, we were made to feel completely welcome and supported. The venue itself is breathtaking — a perfect blend of historic grandeur and romantic charm that created the most stunning backdrop for our day.
A special thank you to Sophie, our incredible wedding coordinator. Her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made the entire planning process feel effortless. She was always there when we needed her, and her calm, confident presence on the day ensured everything ran flawlessly. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us through it all.
The whole experience was seamless, joyful, and full of great vibes. We’ll treasure our memories at Ashridge House forever — it was the perfect place to begin our next chapter.

Ashridge were fantastic from the moment we booked. We had a two year wait till our wedding from when we booked and once we were given our personal co-ordinator for the day everything was taken care of (shout out to Beth!)
They were able to fulfil everything we wanted and it all ran so smoothly in the day.
All staff members were professional and helpful throughout the day.
We were given a full breakdown of prices before we booked and were able to see a range of choices for food, drink etc. our food was great on the day and we had the best time at the food tasting!
Of course the venue is stunning and their supplier list was amazing! I really recommend ByLumiere for your photos/video and makeup ChloeGraceBridal.
We had a two day event and we also used the Fernery to host a BBQ and it worked so well and was stunning!
A huge thank you to the Ashridge Team!

We had our wedding at Ashridge House and it was truly the most magical experience from start to finish. The venue itself is breathtaking, but what made our day even more special was the incredible support from the team — especially Jamie, our wedding coordinator. Jamie went absolutely above and beyond in every way, ensuring every detail was perfect and that the day ran seamlessly. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and his calm, organised approach gave us so much confidence throughout the whole planning process.

Our guests were blown away by the stunning setting, impeccable service, and the flawless flow of the day. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we’ll treasure these memories forever.

Thank you, Ashridge House and especially Jamie, for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more!
