Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable🤍

We just wanted to say the biggest thank you for everything Ellie did to make our wedding day at Denbies so perfect. From start to finish, she was absolutely amazing - organised, calm, and always one step ahead.
The entire day ran so smoothly, and it truly was everything we had dreamed of and more. Every detail, from the beautiful setup to the timing of each moment, felt effortless thanks to her hard work and dedication. We’ve had so many guests tell us how wonderful the day was, and we know it wouldn’t have been the same without Ellie and the Denbie’s Team.
The rest of the lovely team who worked on the day - were so polite, attentive and genuinely caring. They looked after our guests so beautifully and made the whole atmosphere feel relaxed and special.
We’re so grateful for your care, professionalism, and warmth throughout the whole process. It really was the most magical day, everything we dreamed of and more, and we can’t thank you enough for helping make it happen.

Fabulous September Wedding

From the very beginning, the venue team was incredibly helpful and guided us every step of the way. With 10 months to plan, we were able to secure our DJ and photographer within the first month. One standout recommendation from the venue was a magician—an unexpected addition that brought an extra layer of surprise and excitement to the day, and our guests absolutely loved it!

If you're considering dates, I highly recommend choosing September. The lush green vines and ripening grapes create a stunning, natural backdrop for photos—truly picture-perfect.

One thing to keep in mind: if you're planning to have your wedding dinner in the conservatory, there is a set earliest start time for the meal. It’s just part of how the venue runs, and honestly, it worked out really well for us. Denbies suggested an afternoon tea to bridge the gap, and it turned out to be a lovely addition (at an extra cost but worth it). Our guests really enjoyed it, and it kept everyone happy and relaxed before dinner.

I would recommend if you're considering this venue to try out the food at the conservatory as it is very delicious (especially the cream tea).

Thank you again for the amazing day! :)

Incredible venue, amazing staff, made our day simply perfection

Honestly we cannot thank Ellie and Abi enough for making our big day so perfect, from the minute I arrived ready to walk down the aisle, Abi made me feel at ease and walking into the venue was beyond anything we could have imagined!

It was just perfect, everything we dreamt of and more. Ellie and Abi made our day, a day to remember, everything we had planned they organised to perfection, they really go that extra mile to ensure your day is everything you dream of and they certainly smashed it at ours.

I cannot thank Ellie enough for all your support in the build-up and Abi support on the day, the rest of the team on the day was incredible, everyone was so friendly and helpful and honestly couldn't do enough to help. The food was insane so a huge thank you to the chef and the team.

Not to forget the hotel staff, our stay and dinner the night before was honestly second to none, they could not do enough. The morning of the wedding they were there to support with anything and everything and nothing was too much trouble, so thank you!

We can never thank you all enough for our special day. You are all amazing!!

Magical Day!


Ellie and the team were absolutely incredible as our wedding coordinators at Denbies. They made the entire day feel seamless and perfect, taking all the stress away and allowing us to truly enjoy every moment. From start to finish, they made us feel completely at ease, handling every detail with such professionalism and care. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and are so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

Faultless experience!

Planning our dream wedding with Ellie and her team at Denbies was faultless! They were organised, responsive, enthusiastic and so accommodating throughout including last minute changes due to weather. The wedding day was run seamlessly, the food was delicious and the whole venue looked beautiful! Overall, we cannot recommend Denbies enough for a wedding. Thank you Ellie and team!

Joyful & Relaxed Vineyard Wedding

Denbies Vineyard Hotel is the most stunning wedding venue. It is perfect for a more intimate wedding celebration, with a relaxed atmosphere and comfortable setting. As it’s a licensed venue we could have our marriage ceremony and reception all in the same place and the transition between each was seamless. We felt confident that the day would unfold as we had planned, due to the level of detail in the planning and the communication with the Denbies team in the run up - they did not disappoint. The service we received was gold standard, all the staff were friendly and accommodating and ensured that our day ran smoothly. They worked tirelessly to ensure that all our guests’ needs were catered for, including some complex specific access and dietary requirements. The food and wine were delicious and received glowing reviews from our guests. The beauty of the surroundings was a constant point of conversation during our day and the enjoyable vineyard land train tour broke up the day perfectly - something a little bit different and another talking point for our guests. A massive thank you to Denbies for making our special day even better than we could’ve imagined!

Beautiful venue - Ellie and team are amazing

Denbies was an amazing venue from start to finish. Everything ran like clockwork, the food was really nice and of course there was plenty of wine. The wine train was a great added extra which everyone seemed to enjoy and made it a bit unique.

What makes this venue in particular is the wedding coordinator Ellie. She has a really calming manner, built our package without pushing anything we didn’t want on us and was super organised. We didn’t have to do anything on the day other than relax and enjoy ourselves. Thanks so much Ellie and Abbie for the day!

Amazing service and a brilliant day

The setting is stunning, the service is amazing and the team will take great care of you!
After being let down by another venue, Denbies took on our wedding at 5 months notice. From the moment we engaged with them Ellie was amazing and positive, no ask was too much and she found a way to make our vision come to life.
On the day the whole team went to great lengths to give us the perfect day, the on the day coordinator, hotel, bar and waiting staff were all incredible. We got so many comments from guests about how the venue staff went above and beyond and we generally had the best day ever in a beautiful setting!

Best day of our lives, incredible venue

Our wedding and the entire lead up to it was just a dream. Ellie and the rest of the Denbies team were excellent, communicative and responsive every step of the way and the venue itself is just beautiful. Abigail (at the Denbies hotel) also deserves a special shout-out for being so wonderful and helpful re all things hotel related! It was 32⁰ the day we got married (in Sept) and the team made sure that all guests had water upon arrival and additional fans etc were put out. Outside, we just felt like we were standing in a vineyard in Tuscany - beautiful.

Very Happy with our choice

We are delighted that we chose to host our wedding reception at Denbies. Dawn and the team were so helpful, calm and responsive during the planning process and helped us to create the atmosphere we wanted for our family and friends on our special day. I felt that we were given individual care and attention and that the team worked hard to include all of the little details we wanted without pressuring us into having extras or using particular suppliers.

The amount of space was perfect for us and the venue looks great without much extra decoration. Even though the weather was not on our side there were lots of options for photography and space for everyone to relax. We appreciated how child friendly and accessible everything was.

Being able to stay in the hotel the night before and enjoy their delicious breakfast was a real bonus and the more athletic guests and members of the wedding were able to do a muddy Parkrun in the morning before the wedding- great for the nerves I hear.

Once we had settled on a venue it became much easier to relax and enjoy planning the day. I am very happy with our choice and look forward to being able to come back and visit in the future.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
