Wow what can I say, Brinsop is an absolutely stunning wedding venue with heaps of character and so many options of places for the ceremony and to do things. We fell in love with it as soon as we saw it and knew it was where we wanted to get married.

Right from the start, the Brinsop team were so helpful and accommodating. From giving an virtual tour then showing us around in person, Issy and the team were fantastic right the way through. Nothing was a hassle, no request too difficult and they were incredibly professional and responsive throughout the whole process.

We loved that Brinsop is an exclusive venue with accommodation on site so we could stay with the bridal party and our immediate family. All the rooms are unique and have so much character and it's fun exploring the whole place. You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, in nature with swans, ducks and birds all around.

Throughout our planning process, Issy and the team helped us every step of the way, being incredibly flexible in managing our requests and really trying to create our vision. They even got their team to make a giant jenga that we could use on the day! They helped to create the most perfect bespoke wedding breakfast and canapes menu, and seemed so positive and excited to be part of our special day and experience.

Arriving at the venue, Issy and the team were ready and had everything prepared and ready to go. It made the process so smooth for us and meant we could really enjoy the day without any stress. Issy coordinated perfectly with all of our vendors and it really felt like she and the whole team were so happy for us and wanted to be part of our day which was amazing. Our guests commented on how friendly and responsive all the staff were and it really made the experience extra special.

I wouldn't change anything about the day and it was perfect. I would absolutely recommend Brinsop as a wedding venue and all the staff who are really invested in helping deliver your vision. Thank you so so much to the whole team for making this a day that we will look back on for many years to come with amazing memories.

Honestly we don't know where to start.... Brinsop Court is the most stunning wedding venue we have ever been to. We had the pleasure of getting married there on Friday 19th Dec and we were blown away. A wedding there anytime of year is beautiful but a Christmas time wedding is just truly magical. The Christmas trees, the flowers, the log fires were like something out of a fairytale. Not only was the venue beautiful, but the staff really out did themselves. Issy was so attentive and nothing was too much trouble throughout our whole process. The way that they were so flexible with all of our requests made us feel at ease and well looked after. The food we chose was perfect and we had so many amazing comments from our guests who were completely taken back by how amazing the day was. We have even been asked several times if we can do it all over again!!! From the bottom of our hearts thank you so much to the team at Brinsop for giving us the most perfect wedding day, it will always be a special place to us and we will forever cherish the memories made. XxxxX

Where to start! From the first viewing to the day itself, Brinsop were professional, quick to respond with whatever questions we threw at them and all staff were friendly and supportive. Nothing was too much of an ask and they made the day run efficiently and smoothly. Our guests have not stopped complimenting us about how beautiful this venue is. Thank you to all the team and especially to Nina our co-ordinator.

We had our wedding at Brinsop on 2nd October and it was an incredible day! First off, every part of the venue is so beautiful, and we really made the most of it, having our ceremony in the woodland, drinks reception on the lawn, dinner in the Banqueting Hall and evening reception in the Knot Barn - Brinsop is so flexible in giving you many options for every part of the day. So many of our guests commented on how stunning the house and grounds are. The woodland is a real highlight if you're looking for an outdoor ceremony space, we didn't see anything like it in other venues we looked at - it feels so secluded and yet it's just steps away from the house.
Amy (the head chef) and her team were super helpful and accommodating; we requested a fully vegetarian menu and they were very happy to oblige, and all the food on the day was delicious, incuding the canapes. It was also really lovely to have the recovery breakfast the following morning to catch up with our overnight guests :)
Nina was our coordinator and she was absolutely fantastic - even though we were running slightly behind schedule on the day, she was a super calm and reassuring presence throughout, and never made us feel rushed. She even helped our guests surprise us after our meal by putting cans and a 'just married' sign on the golf buggy for our ride up to the Knot Barn! Prior to the day, she was always really quick to respond to emails and happy to chat on the phone whenever - even when she was on annual leave, she was quick to let us know that we could email and she would still get back to us while she was on holiday.
The only slight issue that we had was that it took longer than we expected to be assigned a dedicated coordinator, which meant that we didn't have our planning meeting until less than 2 months before our wedding day, and getting all our catering info sorted was more rushed than we would have liked. We did ask them a couple of times before our coordinator was assigned, so I'm not sure if this is their usual timeline or if there was some other reason for the delay. As I said, once we had Nina assigned she was great and quickly resolved all our questions etc, but the last couple of months before the day did end up being a little bit more stressful because of this.
Even having said this I would still absolutely recommend Brinsop - compared to similar venues it's great value for money, particularly considering how much character and versatility it offers. We're already looking forward to coming back to stay in Ivy or Wood Cottage (where we stayed the night before the wedding) for our anniversary, if not before!

Massive thank you to the team at Brinsop for helping make our day so magical. Also a massive shout out to Issy stepping in last minutes as our wedding planner who made the day run perfectly!

My husband and I found Brinsop Court through Hitched. We decided to go for a viewing and as soon as we drove into the grounds, we fell in love with it. We went in with a date in mind, to coincide with our first date and engagement, however it was already booked, so we went for the one weekend they had available in mid August. Our coordinator, Issy, was absolutely incredible from day one. No request was too large, no question went unanswered. Everything was handled with professionalism and care. For a lot of the planning, it felt like the Brinsop team were more excited about us getting married than we were! Their enthusiasm was unparalleled and we felt we were in safe hands all the way through.
If anything didn’t go according to plan, we either didn’t know about it or it was handled immediately by the team, leaving us to enjoy and relax into our wedding weekend.
Brinsop is a venue we would happily recommend to anyone looking to get married in paradise. Thank you so much for making our dream wedding possible. We can’t wait to come back for our anniversary! Rod & Dan

Incredible venue inside and out. A unique place to get married that has staff dedicated to making your wedding day perfect.

Had our wedding here Friday and honestly the day was beyond perfect and Brinsop (CATE) truly did make our dreams come true. She kept us both calm, organised and grounded we genuinely wouldn’t change a single second of the day!

From the second we arrived at Brinsop for our first visit, we knew it was the place we wanted to get married every single person on the team is AMAZING we don’t know how they do it, they must all be a little bit super human!

All of our guests and family have nothing but beautiful comments about not just the venue but you.

Reviews don’t mean a thing, you just need to turn up and you’ll fall in love with this place.

Such an incredible time at Brinsop Court for our wedding. We had guests from multiple countries and all over the US fly in for the big day. The Brinsop team were incredible, attentive and made sure that everything was seamless so my wife and I could enjoy our weekend as much as possible.

Having the event for the whole weekend really was a difference maker as people got to settle in and explore.

The venue is stunning, it’s remote which is fine you just need to be prepared with taxis etc for anyone not staying onsite.

As with any wedding there are a lot of costs associated outside the initial fee for the rental, so just be prepared for this.

Overall, we reviewed 6 venues before choosing Brinsop and are really happy with our decision.

From start to end, Brinsop were perfect. They were really responsive and helpful. Issy, our coordinator, made sure our day was ran really smoothly, and was always super friendly and lovely to interact with - despite the chaos I’m sure that goes on behind the scenes! From our perspective it was absolutely perfect and we would highly recommend this venue to anyone considering it!

Wow, what a perfect day we had! It really went without a hitch and that was thanks to Nina and all the staff at Brinsop. The team worked seamlessly to ensure the day was as perfect as could be, and it really was! The wedding was booked over 2 years in advance and the staff were so accommodating with all my questions, planning and site visits, they couldn’t do more to support us. Special thanks to our coordinator Nina who was a delight to work with and a credit to Brinsop. Everyone that attended agreed at how beautiful the venue and grounds were, it was a wedding people won’t forget! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

It's taken me quite a while to get round to writing this review, because sadly it's quite a bittersweet one.

We were married last year on 15 June and Brinsop was our chosen venue for both our ceremony and reception. We were first attracted to brinsop by the accomodation, meaning our loved ones could stay on-site, especially my grandparents which was so important to me.

The home itself is absolutely beautiful, including ivy cottage which myself and my mum stayed in the night before the big day. It really was a picture perfect setting, and looking down from the bridal suite seeing the ceremony space being set up on the Wordsworth lawn was honestly magical. Id dreamed of an outdoor wedding on that lawn, and we were so grateful the weather cleared so we could have it. The team really did wait till the latest they could to ask us to make a call on an inside or outside wedding (despite being June, it was a gloomy day to start) which I really appreciated!

Another amazing part of hiring brinsop was the after hours space we were able to enjoy until 2am with our house guests. The games room was absolute fantastic and meant that if you wanted to go to bed you could, but you could also stay up, party and play pool. I really do think this was a highlight for our guests and would recommend massively if you can spare some budget.

On the night of the wedding, myself and my new husband actually stayed in one glamping tents which we absolutely loved. The groundsman was on site until we were ready to leave the games room, and he then took us up to our tent in one of the buggies, making sure we had plenty of blankets and even stopping off for some bottles of water for us. This was really special, and can't thank him enough.

Hugo Spritz!! Having hugos at both our welcome drinks and drinks reception after the ceremony was amazing. I'm not a fan of prosecco myself and Mark and the team made it possible for us to have Hugo's all round. We even sneaked some up to the bridal suite to have before the ceremony (thanks Nadia!). Our guests loved them, and the amount of people that have told me they now need them at their own wedding is crazy!

Onto the not so good - sadly it all started to go a little downhill when we moved things into the knot barn for our wedding breakfast. Sitting on the top table, I could see that guests at the top of the second rows of long tables didn't really even have a seat around the table and were just kind of plonked on. The seating plan hadn't been followed, and I don't think there were even enough tables laid for the service to be comfortable for people because there was a dance floor at the end of the barn (which I did not ask for).

It was quickly also brought to my attention, that one of our guests had had to put her child on her lap in order to remove the high chair so people had more space. We also lost about 5 napkins with them setting on fire from the candles because everything was just way too cramped.

I asked to speak to catering, and asked if there was anything that they could do. I was told 'well sure, if you want the whole thing to be late'. In truth I shouldn't have even had to broach this myself, as it should have been sorted by the coordination team.

The tables weren't changed, even after they'd said they'd sort after the first course and yet the whole meal still ran late. We've had so much feedback about people not having enough food, food not being easy to access on the sharing platters etc and honestly when you've waited so long for a day and had spent 25k on the venue and food alone, it really has been heartbreaking to hear. I do sometimes question why people still bring it up (even now, people talk about the dining) when it clearly upset me so much.

Whilst writing this review my husband asked my what we had for evening food - we didn't get any. It was left unannounced on a back table. I don't know what I was expecting, just not that.

The next morning, the houseguests were asked to come down to breakfast for 9am (it was on a note in the room) but as we were in the glamping area, we walked past the knot barn just before 8.30 and the food was already out. We ran down to the house to hurry everyone up, and by which time everyone arrived it had been sitting there for 20plus mins going cold.

My biggest upset was that when I fed all of the above back to brinsop, feeling pretty deflated about the catering, I was told they'd pass my feedback on and heard absolutely nothing back. 25k total with over 10k on food and drinks to hear absolutely nothing, and this was 9 months ago. I'm not saying this in would happen to anyone else, but really - it shouldn't have happened to us either.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding! From start to finish, everything at Brinsop was flawless. The setting was absolutely stunning, creating the most magical backdrop for our special day. Our guests were blown away by the beautiful venue, the warm atmosphere, and the seamless coordination. Every detail was taken care of, and we felt so well looked after. The team was incredible, professional, friendly, and attentive. On the day itself, they ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment. A special mention goes to our amazing wedding coordinator Nina!

We had our wedding on New Year's Eve 2024 at Brinsop, and it was more perfect that we could have ever hoped for. The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful spacious rooms which slept over 40 of our guests. Our coordinator, Nina, was incredible and so supportive on the day - she kept everything running so smoothly and everything went by without a glitch. The food and drink managers Mark and Amy did the most incredible job - nothing was ever too much, they were so attentive, and the chefs the most stunning meal after we gave them a fairly vague brief of 'curry'! We had the most perfect day and we're so incredibly grateful to Brinsop and the team.

Brinsop Court is pure magic—an unforgettable venue with an incredible team!
