Reviews for Chapel House Estate
A truly amazing day
You couldn’t have done any more for us. You had every base covered and mentioned things that we would never have thought about to make our day so perfect. Our planning meetings were calm, and I always came away thinking that wedding planning is nowhere as stressful as I thought it would be.
On our wedding day I was nervous driving to Chapel House but as soon as I saw you, my nerves started to dissipate. The breakfast hamper was delicious and very generous and me, Elly and Wendy loved it, and this really helped to settle our nerves and stomachs! Paul was super excited to have the cocktail bar to himself and his groomsmen.
All our guests were so impressed being personally greeted by members of your team on arrival and I lost count of how many guests said what an amazing venue CHE is.
The day ran like clockwork and was faultless which allowed Paul and me to relax and enjoy every moment. You were so organised and professional (and calm) throughout the day making sure that everyone was where they needed to be. Even when it was time for the ceremony to start, I didn’t feel nervous, just excited when walking down the aisle – and the Apple Orchard was set out and decorated beautifully – more beautiful than I had imagined and I was sooo happy to be able to get married outside.
The wedding breakfast was delicious – our guests were super impressed with the quality of the food as well as the super-efficient way in which your staff served it! You have an amazing team with friendly and helpful staff. But your professionalism and organisation were the icing on the cake for us and for everything that you did to make the day so perfect and we cannot thank you enough.
I can’t believe the day was over in a flash! When I look back, there is nothing that I would change as the day was magical and perfect in every way 😊
A Perfect Wedding at Chapel House Estate
The venue is simply breathtaking. Every corner of the estate feels thoughtfully designed, from the beautifully landscaped gardens to the elegant indoor spaces. There’s a sense of calm and intimacy that makes you instantly relax, yet it still feels grand enough to mark such a momentous occasion. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how beautiful everything looked and how smoothly the day flowed.
What truly sets Chapel House Estate apart, though, is the team. Every single person we interacted with was professional, warm and incredibly accommodating. They made us feel so cared for, and nothing ever felt too much trouble.
A very special thank you must go to Loz, who was simply phenomenal from start to finish. She guided us through the planning process with patience, humour and grace. On the day itself, she was everywhere and nowhere all at once — calm, reassuring and effortlessly orchestrating every detail behind the scenes. We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment, knowing that Loz and the team had everything in hand.
We are now writing this from sunny Marrakesh, still glowing from it all and replaying the day in our minds. Chapel House Estate didn’t just give us a venue — they gave us a once-in-a-lifetime experience filled with love, laughter and joy.
To the entire team: thank you for giving us the most beautiful start to our marriage. We will be forever grateful.
The Perfect Venue with the Perfect Team
The Most Beautiful and BEST Day of Our Lives at Chapel House Estate!!!
There are no words that truly capture how out of this world our wedding day was, Chapel House Estate gave us the day we always dreamed of and more.
From the moment we arrived on our first visit we were completely in love with the place. The venue is simply stunning, everywhere you turn is the most prestigious looking, a truly luxurious, modern and beautiful venue. On our wedding day we did the full package. We got married in the apple orchard, surrounded by beautiful nature and scenery. Our drinks reception took place in the glass courtyard was elegant and sunlit, and our evening celebration in the barn was stunning beyond words. The best place for a night of fun, love and pure joy. Each space was we celebrated throughout our day was just as beautiful and the grounds surrounding the estate are honestly breathtaking.
We stayed on site with my bridal party the night before in the cottages, which were gorgeously decorated and so well-equipped the perfect place to relax and soak in the excitement. On the night of the wedding, we stayed in the house while our guests stayed in the lodges, and every single space is just flawless. It felt like a home but the magic and elegance of a 5* hotel.
After 10 years together, we wanted a day that was full of love, fun, and celebration and that’s exactly what we got. We turned Chapel House into our dream rodeo disco themed wedding, and the team embraced every part of our vision with open hearts.
A special thank you to Jade, our coordinator, who was truly amazing. She made everything run seamlessly and brought such calm and care to the day. We couldn’t have done it without her.
I’ll never stop thinking about our wedding day. It was the most beautiful beginning to our next chapter, and if I could relive it all over again, I would in a heartbeat as it simply was THE VERY BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES!
Best day of our lives!
The most perfect wedding day
The day was so smooth from start to finish, it was ran perfectly by the team with no hiccups. Keeley was absolutely brilliant - such a calming presence and it was our pleasure to have her there helping us throughout our special day. Thank you to the whole team for everything - our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives and we wouldn’t change a single thing. We can’t wait to come back to visit soon!
Amazing venue, a superb team and the most perfect day
Our magical day 🩷
What made it even more incredible was the team. From our very first meeting, they were attentive, kind, and genuinely excited to help us bring our vision to life. Nothing was ever too much trouble – their calm professionalism, attention to detail, and caring nature made us feel so supported throughout the entire journey. On the day itself, we had a last minute weather change which meant we were unable to get married in the beautiful orchard. But the team went above and beyond to make sure the Granary looked just as beautiful and I wouldn’t change a single thing about our day now. All we had to do was enjoy every precious moment, knowing we were in the best hands possible.
A massive shout out to the lovely Keeley, our wedding coordinator. From our first meeting with Keeley, we could tell how passionate she is about her job and we truly felt so excited to share our plans with her. On the day, she was non stop all day. From unloading the cars, making sure every detail was perfect and of course, keeping me calm and collected when the weather decided to flip!
The day was nothing short of perfect – filled with laughter, love, and the kind of magic you hope for but rarely find. So many of our guests commented on how stunning the venue was and how smoothly everything flowed, which is a true credit to the incredible Chapel House Estate team.
We will forever be grateful for the memories created there. It wasn’t just a wedding venue; it was the heart of the most important day of our lives – and it couldn’t have been more perfect.
All our love,
Mr & Mrs Harris xxx
Perfect venue for the perfect day
It was the gardens that we first well in love with it and they really encapsulate English country garden style with the apple orchard being more natural but equally as stunning.
The venue offered so much of what we wanted, a beautiful outside space, a covered courtyard in case of inclement weather (beautifully done!), rooms for guests to stay the night and breakfast in the morning, a really clean and fresh reception space that we could put our mark on. Everything felt well done and of high quality. Nothing felt tired or in need of update.
The support we received on the day from the whole team, but especially Loz was amazing and it really felt like they went above and beyond. Loz helped make the day run smoothly, thinking up solutions when thrown an issue by the florist, evening lending us her own cake stand for our doughnuts! Having someone acting as wedding coordinator for the day meant that we could enjoy ourselves and let Loz focus on the details for us.
The food at the wedding was great, we had a lot of compliments from our guests about the quality, including from the fussy eaters, of which there were many.
Communication with the venue prior to the wedding was quick and easy, they replied promptly with any questions that we had which helped make the planning less stressful.
Overall we couldn’t recommend the venue enough. If there was one thing to comment on, the excel spreadsheet was a little confusing, but as mentioned above communication with the team at the venue answered whatever queries we had in regards to this.
