Country Wedding Venues in East Midlands - England

We fell in love with this venue almost as quickly as we fell in love with each other, and it was pouring it down with rain at the time. On our wedding day we had glorious May sunshine and the woods were totally enchanting. This is the only venue (that we know off) where you have red deer among your wedding audience. The Safari tent was very spacious and cosy and an equally lovely aspect of the venue if you do find yourself caught in the rain, which we did the day prior setting up, but turned out gorgeous the following morning. The team at Stourton Woods were almost as excited for our wedding as we were. They were very genuine and warm people. They helped us every step of the way and were very accommodating to anything we wanted. We would highly recommend anyone looking to have a venue for their wedding or any occasion here as it is truly spectacular.

We recently had our wedding at this incredible venue, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning of the planning process right through to the big day itself, everything was absolutely brilliant. The staff were outstanding – friendly, helpful, and highly professional throughout. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and they made the entire journey smooth and enjoyable. The venue grounds are simply stunning. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful everything looked, from the immaculate gardens to the charming setting overall. It really created the perfect backdrop for our special day. We’re so grateful to the whole team for helping make our wedding unforgettable. We would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful setting with exceptional service.

Where do we begin? After viewing what can only be described as an obscene number of venues, from our first viewing at Prestwold Hall we knew it was the one! Emma showed us round the incredible grounds and Hall, highlighting every beautiful historical feature, but also all the gentle modern touches that have been incorporated so elegantly to this venue. SHE SOLD IT 🤩 we booked within 24hours! Things only got better from there! Just in time for Christmas we got an invite to our tasting evening the following January, a great addition to any wedding experience… if you get the invitation, take it! Everyone was incredible, so welcoming and kind, the evening really allowed us to experience what it would be like to be taken care of by this amazing team. The food sampling was amazing and I think it’s fair to say we left a little squiffy! 😅 It was then that Lucy was assigned to us as our wedding planner/coordinator/shot bearer. She absolutely nailed the whole thing, every single query answered, all nerves put to rest, drinks constantly provided! Lucy helped us through every step of the way, whether it was regarding the venue itself or regarding other vendors. Even when we totally messed up the meal choices, Lucy was there to provide assistance. The whole experience at Prestwold Hall, with the incredible team there was pure magic! The bridal party rocked up at 8am to get the party started and it didn’t stop. Anything we asked for, it was provided…an extra table for the makeup artists, glasses of Pimm’s for the bridesmaids, the morning was pure bliss! Being allowed to also jam out on the piano at 9am whilst vendors set up also really helped the nerves settle. 🤩 The whole day went so smoothly, everything in order and handled with the most calm manner. The food was FABULOUS, the drinks Gorgeous, the venue picture perfect! All anybody could talk about was how amazing the day was and it wouldn’t be without the team at Prestwold. Everything was catered to, even all our DIY props and decor (personal favourite being the crossword). The gardens looked absolutely immaculate, the flowers are to die for! 🌹 🌺 I also cannot say how well watered we were, after nearly every single photo, Lucy and her team were there to hand out drinks to the wedding party. We even managed to have a few cheeky shots too! We just hope all the team at Prestwold enjoyed our day as much as we did! Prestwold Hall is the place to book! ✨

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding! From the very first visit, we completely fell in love with The Buttercross Suite. The whole team were amazing and made everything feel so easy from start to finish. The day ran perfectly, the food was delicious, and the venue looked absolutely stunning. All of our guests commented on how lovely it was and how relaxed and happy the atmosphere felt. A really special thank you to Emilia, our wedding co-ordinator, who went above and beyond for us. She was so kind, organised and calm, and made sure every little details was exactly how we’d imagined it. Nothing was ever too much trouble - she truly made the day stress-free and unforgettable. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding. A huge thank you to everyone at Stallingborough Grange for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime 💕

I can’t recommend Donna, Richard and their wonderful team at Aswarby highly enough. Their professionalism and attention to detail was outstanding, from the moment we met them we knew we were in safe hands! Their recommended partners are of the highest quality and talent too Any request was calmly and quietly delivered, they have just thought of everything. The outside space and grounds are beautiful and thankfully we had the opportunity to make full use of them, the weather was lovely. We noticed how they put things in place without request making the day run seamlessly The accommodation is also beautiful, with stunning views from all of the bedrooms We had a perfect day, thank you everyone at Aswarby!

Allington Manor is a gorgeous listed building with beautiful gardens. The photos don’t really do it justice. We hired the manor for the weekend & some guests were able to stay over which was great & made it a relaxing & intimate weekend, just for us & our family & friends. The bedrooms are lovely, comfortable & clean. Breakfast was full English, freshly cooked & delicious. Staff are friendly & can’t do enough for you. We had a marquee for the wedding, it was just right & so well set out. On the wedding day they were extremely professional & had thought of everything. It was very well organised & any hiccups sorted without anyone noticing. We were so well looked after the whole weekend. I would recommend this venue to anyone.

I’m so gutted our wedding is over as our time planning with Shannon and the team was lovely, incredibly accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. The day was fantastic and went smoothly and honestly wouldn’t have asked for anything more! I would choose Hodsock again and again x

We had an amazing wedding aprille and the team couldnt do enough for us. Nothing was too much trouble. We were looked after from the minute we arrived. The food was out of this world and our day was magical. We couldnt recommend this venue enough

I originally struggled finding venues for a smaller wedding, with a lot of venues looking like someone's house. For me, this venue was the standout from the start. Firstly the food is absolutely amazing, and I got so many complements from guests. The staff were so communicative from the start and they ensured the whole day flowed smoothly without any thoughts or stress on my part. I knew they would be great but they exceeded expectations thoroughly on the day :)
