We booked Chicheley hall as soon as we came to visit a month after our engagement in March/ April 2023. The sweeping staircase instantly sold the venue for us making it the perfect setting for our Valentine’s Day wedding three years later.
In the long lead up we came to various events at Chicheley hall enjoying the countdown with our very own dream venue. This included an afternoon tea where I did my bridesmaid proposal.
Sadly at our final details meeting our coordinator sprung on us the fact she had in left introducing us to Jenny. To be honest this threw us, having planned with one person for almost three years and suddenly having to get to know someone else in such a short time. Jenny was brilliant. She worked through our worries being calm, reassuring and kind to the whole situation, the perfect person for the job. She was open in communication and helped us work through any hurdles, nothing was too much to ask.
Fast forward to our day, it cannot be described as anything but pure magic. The whole team felt like our personal best friends, genuinely wanting the best for us and going above and beyond to help. Especially as we had so many little touches like our private vows/ first touch and surprise journey to Chicheley in a super car. Jenny and the staff checked in throughout the getting ready process, they coordinated the ceremony like true professionals. The turn around between ceremony and wedding breakfast was flawless and so well managed exactly how we had envisioned. Gonzarlo brought such character and fun to our wedding breakfast, making our 7 year old son feel like a little celebrity when he did his speech he had planned on his own. Chef Simon pulled it out the bag with our guests complex dietary requirements and high expectations for our vegetarian wedding, I have never had a meal quite like our wedding breakfast. Rachel managed the whole evening with ease checking in and giving us priceless advice. When our sparklers refused to light due to our own poor storage Rachel got it sorted quickly and we still managed to have our special moment. The whole lead up to our big day we said we wanted to feel like guests at our wedding, enjoying everything we had worked so hard to plan and taking it all in. Thanks to everyone at Chicheley Hall thats exactly how we felt. Sharing smiles and laughter with the team the whole day, you really were all apart of our special day. The sadness the next day felt like we were leaving our home. Please don’t second guess booking Chicheley hall, if you love the venue it is the place for you!

After 2 years of planning we finally had our wedding day 2 weeks ago at Chicheley Hall, not only are the grounds absolutely stunning, the building itself still being beautiful and the staff are incredible.

After a few people changing behind the scenes we first met Jenni who is lovely, friendly and was incredibly reassuring that planning of the day wouldn’t be affected, fast forward a few months to be introduced to Kelly who start to finish was an absolute Star, going above and beyond to check ingredients on products for our little girl who has allergies prior to the day and helping the final months streamline and have everything in place with as little stress as possible.

On the day itself everything was perfect Kelly assisted with everything from getting ready, to carrying our little one down the first set of stairs, guiding me through what to do as we were doing it, fluffing my train multiple times so I got a breeze (it was 32 degrees) and running the day overall alongside Jenni, we felt no stress whatsoever and the day just flowed seamlessly, if there were delays we certainly didn’t feel them.

Even with last minute and unexpected guest changes swiftly rectified and accommodated by Georgina and the staff with a special shoutout also to Rachel who most definitely plays a huge part in the running of things behind the scenes, but also interacted with us and guests exquisitely remaining professional but being fun and friendly at the same time.

Overall an incredible experience at Chicheley Hall and will 100% be returning in future as a family for any events.

Thank you all for an unforgettable day ❤️

Where can I even start, from start to finish Chicheley hall have been absolutely amazing.

Both Jenni and Kelly have been on hand throughout the whole planning phase of our big day - answering any questions we had and truely putting our vision into reality.

Every step was seamless and no query we had was too much.

On the day everyone was on hand to help deliver a perfect day exactly as we envisioned. Jenni was on hand throughout the day to help in anyway we could along with co-ordinating the whole day so we had little to nothing to do but enjoy every minute.

A special shout out to Rachel - she helped me enormously when I panicked before walking down the aisle because I thought the wrong song was playing (it wasn’t!) and also she dealt with out rowdy bunch at the end of the night like an absolute saint!

We’ve had endless positive feedback on everyone’s experience on the day.

Thank you so much for the amazing day 💕

A truly beautiful venue with an exceptional team. All of the staff were so attentive and made our wedding day run so smoothly. As the bride, Jenni kept checking in with me in the morning (as I was getting ready) and was there for anything I needed, which got the day off to the best start. After that, all of our plans were executed seamlessly, without any intervention or help needed from us, meaning we could just relax and enjoy our special day! The food was absolutely delicious and we had lots of guests say it was the best wedding food they had ever tasted! The breakfast the following morning was also delicious and was a lovely way to end the celebrations.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning with lots of character and there are so many beautiful photo spots, both inside and outside. As you drive in, you get an amazing view of the hall between the trees which feels like you are entering a palace, and whatever room you are in you get a stunning view of the grounds. The honeymoon suite also has the ‘wow’ factor and was so special to stay in on our wedding night.

We were in an unusual situation where we only booked our wedding here 3 months ahead of the wedding day (due to our original venue cancelling), but on the day you wouldn’t know it as everything ran perfectly! Jenni was amazing throughout the planning process and gave us the confidence that we would still have the day we envisioned, despite the last-minute situation we found ourselves in. But to be honest, the day exceeded all expectations - it really was the wedding of our dreams!

We will cherish these memories forever and can’t thank the team enough for making our day so special. 🤍

Jenni has been absolutely fabulous and so lovely to deal with. Our wedding day was perfect! They had a new starter that day Kelly , she was so kind and welcoming too I never would have guessed it was her first day! They were flexible with food and drink requests to suit our cultural preferences too. The venue was clean and smelt amazing. All guests loved the venue and their rooms. Breakfast the next day was sublime. All staff were so friendly and Rachel who took over in the evening was amazing, we couldn’t have asked for better and everyone commented on staff friendliness and professionalism. Thank you Jenni and team!

Review from an OCD couple... it's an essay grab a cuppa... 🤣

Attentive, welcoming staff that went above and beyond, Stunning Grounds and stateley rooms, nothing was too much trouble, it's a 300+ year old building so they do have to do so much behind the scenes work to keep it looking in tip top condition all year long. Yes some areas could do with renovation or update, but it goes without saying... Rome wasn't built in a day, but mention any worries you have in advance and the team will do everything in their power to sort it for you. Just like they did for us! (I've heard some new changes are already underway re renovations- lucky couples)!

We booked around 1 year in advance so kept popping in to see updates and attended all their wedding shows to meet local reccomended Suppliers that know the building and timings of the day well. So glad we did as got lots of helpful hints and tips.

The gravel driveway during winter months obviously gets worn in from all the cars driving in the wet weather So they have regular maintenance to level and fill in any pot holes. (One of the big questions we had which was sorted ready for summer wedding season no issue at all) we also asked if the skirting boards would be painted as they had gotten scuffed/dirty with all the weddings/proms and other parties over Autumn and Christmas Weddings and was told it's something they do in January and a touch up when they can before the summer season. Amazing! Completely eased any worries we had. And true to their word when we attended a few weeks before our wedding it was all done... and even new carpets in some of the Manor bedrooms as well as freshly painted skirting in bedrooms etc too! Nice touch and suprise for us! It all looked so fresh and clean!

The food.... 😍 well it was beyond what we could have imagined. Beef Wellington (upgrade) for our top table was cooked to perfection by Chef Simon and Team. They also catered for around 10 Allergens/Dietary Requirements with ease throughout the day with canapes, sit down meal and evening buffet. The General Manager was overseeing our sit down meal and made sure everyone including families with young children were happy and did all the check backs needed at the correct times to make sure the Dairy/gluten/nut free and vegans were all happy with their meals etc. What a relief.

Upon booking I asked if i could reserve the bridal suite the night before for myself and 3 year old to stay in to get ready in the morning. (No other weddings on the day prior in the end so this was allowed when I checked again nearer the wedding) highly reccomend doing this or booking a room in the wing and moving bits over as I had 0 stress morning of as everything I needed for bridesmaids and throughout the day was already with me. We knew other guests couldnt check in until 3pm, but as there wasnt another Wedding on the day before some guests were checked in after the ceremony during room turn around which was fab! And also meant I could set up the day before as they also had no events on! 😍 what a dream!

We had around 75 guests during ceremony and breakfast sit down meal, 100 guests in the evening. Perfect numbers for this Venue size inside the main hall. Harpist singing and playing whilst bridesmaids and myself walked down the gorgeous statement staircase to the main hall for the ceremony! (One of the big reasons why we booked for this fairytale feature)!

Bouncy castle and crazy golf in the garden on the beautifully landscaped back lawn, a singer serenading guests during room turn around from ceremony to sit down. Vintage Popcorn cart for the kids too whilst the canapes were going around with pimms, we had it all! 😂

Saxophone and DJ set for the evening really set the tone for the evenings celebrations, with Sarah Sax hiding upstairs on the main balcony to suprise us blasting out a ibiza classic whilst we were all looking up from the dancefloor, walked her way down the staircase playing Sax and joined us all on the dancefloor with confetti blowing down on us all!

Our photographers took us all round the grounds for photos. (Some of my favourites are the ones in the long grass by the dovecot) and of course on the staircase! But looking back wish we had taken some by the lake and the woodland area too! (Spoilt for choice so organise and meet before hand here with your photographer if you can)!

Full English Breakfast was buffet style in the morning, all piping hot and lots of fruit and yoghurt, pastries etc for the kids too. Was lovely to sit in the main hall for brekkie the next day.

All in all.. if you've made it this far Chicheley Hall team couldn't have done better on our Wedding day and the lead up. The team that work there work so hard and you can see it. They are like a second family to us now and love attending all their family fun days and open days!

Sad to see Tamarin our Co ordinator move on to pastures new but we have met the new Wedding Co Ordinator recently and she is soooo enthusiastic and can see the excitement she has for the venue and couples booking just like we had to when planning our big day so know all future brides are in safe hands with her too.

Great service, clean, tidy, kept to their word on refurbs etc, amazing food, and welcoming helpful staff all round.

This venue is beautiful inside and out but definitely needs some tlc. There is a lot of spiders and cobwebs in the rooms which is just completely unnecessary especially for the price you are paying. To which my son was terrified to go to sleep as well as me. The wedding breakfast food was outstanding and very generous portions. The evening buffet however was not well organised, was late and definitely not catered for the amount we had paid for.

We were made to feel like our wedding was less important then the one the night before as we had very little time before hand to set up and everything was taken down with no care which led to our items being broken and lost, my wife wasn’t allocated a ready room either as the bridal suite hadn’t been cleaned, we were almost left without music for the ceremony as well and the groom had to sort it literally 5 mins before the ceremony began. During the reception there was no seating in the dance floor area so it was empty for most of the evening as everyone was seated in the bar. The toilet in the bar was flooded as well on more than one occasion.

We also told the organiser over a year before the wedding that we wanted to use a confetti canon and was informed an hour before the reception that this would not be possible, I wasn’t even told this by the venue I was informed by my DJ

I do want to say that the venue and the grounds are stunning and that the food was amazing but for the price we paid and how stressful the management made what was our special day it should have been better.

We would like to say a big thank you to all the staff that worked our day. Couldn't of asked for a better team. We are really bad at names but we think her name was racheal she saw us both stressing out because no one was listening for cake cutting photos. So she asked us where we wanted people and took over. Also we have heard that aaron little brother got upset after his sweets accidently got threw in the bin and the staff member apologised and gave him a drink due to how upset he got because of his autism and she delt with him really well.We had a lovely day with amazing great service.

Wow! This venue is truly nothing of stunning and provides breathtaking views for fantastic photography for your wedding.

The wedding co ordinator Tamarin and all of the staff were so friendly, professional, attentive to our needs and work so hard to give you your perfect wedding.

The rooms all had stunning views from them. Due to being a listed building the rooms do get hot and stuffy , however the staff ran round to get fans as the sash windows cannot be opened.

The food was out of this world and caters for all requirements. Our guests were very satisfied and loved our choice

This is one of our favourite places and will be coming back to celebrate our anniversary there.

A massive thank you and well done to all the staff who made our day so perfect!

We had our wedding at Chicheley Hall on 28 Feb 25 and it was truly the best day of our lives. The day ran seamlessly and the food was absolutely fantastic. Tamarin and her team were brilliant from our enquiry all the way through to breakfast after the wedding day. She was super responsive and nothing was too much hassle. We got married in the Grand Hall, had dinner in the Atrium and went back to the Grand Hall for the evening. The bedrooms are amazing, the whole venue has real character and the gardens are beautiful. And whole day was seamless, ours guests loved it and we would highly recommend Chicheley Hall. Shane & Katie Gales

We had our wedding here in 2023 and honestly, we wouldnt change a thing. The venue itself is personal and intimate feeling, with so much history and character. The team are hard working and efficient, very experienced and pull off an amazing day that flows. I had a few moments of worry about timings, decor, etc, but Tamarin resolved things immediately with no fuss, and calmed me down. The venue accommodated every request and we look back on the day with the fondest of memories.
We cant thank them enough!

We were really nervous planning our wedding because obviously we'd never done it before but Tamarin was always there to help and give advice and both during the planning period and on the actual day everything went smoothly :)

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and the food was excellent so I would absolutely recommend Chicheley Hall for your wedding :)

The wedding manager Tamarin was very professional, she supported us throughout the whole process. The team was helpful. The service was a complete package.Beautiful venues. Elsie

Stunning venue for this special celebration - staff were amazing, it was our perfect day!!
We started with a group dinner night prior & enjoyed breakfast both mornings with friends & family!

We had a great experience with Chicheley Hall and planning from abroad. All of our guests loved the venue and the food! Really a stunner of a venue in person that had our guest's jaws dropping at the entrance. Really the perfect place if you are planning for a summer wedding and want that estate feel.
