A beautiful venue with first class service provided throughout.

Hogarths is a beautiful venue and we knew we wanted it for our wedding as soon as we viewed it. It was the only local venue that gave us the wow factor and the service we received throughout was perfect. Laura our wedding planner was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful throughout and we felt that she really cared about us and our wedding. We never felt like we were just another customer.

Jess was our venue coordinator on the day of the wedding and was equally as brilliant. The whole day ran smoothly and the operation was planned to perfection. We had a sunny day so was able to have a lovely ceremony on the island which is what we wanted.

Jess and the team even did things we would never have thought about such as finding a vase for my bouquet and moving the bud vases from our tables to the private breakfast room we had the next morning.

I would highly recommend Hogarth’s and many of our guests were wowed by the hotel and the grounds. Our day was perfect!

A magical day!

My wife and I had our wedding here last October and we couldn’t have hoped for a more magical day! From the get go, the Hogarths team were on hand to help us every step of the way. All of our guests couldn’t compliment the staff enough, as they were so friendly and attentive. The grounds are stunning and the BBQ we had was to die for! All in all, we would 100% recommend Hogarths as a wedding venue. 🥰😊

A special and magical day

From the moment we walked into the building we knew we were going tomget married at hogarths! From the warm welcome from the reception team to Ellie ur wedding coordinator, nothing was to much hassle and they held our hand the whole way. The grounds are incredible and have given us some amazing memories we will cherish forever. We booked our wedding 18 months in advance and having never planned a.wedding before the weddings team knew exactly what they were talking about and guided us through the process. Spring forward to our big day and it was more than I had dreamed of. The running of the day, the whole team the food everything qas perfect. Marieanne was our wedding director on the day and there really are no words for how amazing she was. Making sure everyone was where they were meant to be when they had to be there, all thenstudf we had brought to be set up on the day was done without hassle and just how I vision's it. Honestly, not a thing went wrong and its a place we hold dear in our hearts. Thank you the whole hogarths team for helping create the most magical and memorable day of our lives xx

Christmas Eve Wedding

We had the most amazing small but perfect wedding and Christmas few days, the venue was so accommodating allowing me to decorate as I wished and even to change some of their decor. The staff were very friendly and Wayne and Dan on the day were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble. Louise our wedding coordinator was very helpful and lovely to work with.

amazing venue I’m a great location everything you could ask for your wedding day

We booked Hogarths for our wedding 11/5/24 and were married on the island thankfully the sun was out as most of the wedding was planned for outdoors
Staff could not be more helpful and attentive nothing was any trouble even down to keeping the flowers for the best man in the fridge due to the heat until just before the ceremony
Checking on myself and the bridesmaids getting ready in the bridal suite for sure we had everything we needed
Food was amazing ans we had some many comments on what a great venue and how attentive the staff were ensuring our day went smoothly

Perfect Day!

We had our Wedding Breakfast at Hogarths on Thursday 6th June, and it was truly amazing. Laura was our wedding planner and she couldn’t have been more helpful making it all totally stress free from beginning to end. On the day we had Jess and her team looking after us and they were just fantastic. The food was awesome, our guests are still talking about it. We, and our guests, were made to feel so special, the service was excellent. Our day was truly perfect because of the whole team at Hogarths and we couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend.

Fantastic service! Best day of our lives

My parents got married here years ago and when me and my fiancée were venue hunting, this was top of our list. With enough rooms to accommodate our out of town guests and more, delicious food and wonderful service, they made our special fay seamless.

Indian civil ceremony and reception

From the onset -Ellie dealt with us and gave us a tour. We fell in love with the venue but we’re torn between Hogarths and one other. We discussed corkage and the agreement made - resulted in us choosing Hogarth.
On the day of the wedding- all staff were attentive. Through the getting ready, lead up to the ceremony, during the ceremony, after the ceremony, the gap between the civil and reception, during the reception, after reception and even breakfast yeh next day- staff were at a hand to help in every single way.
They worked well with our other suppliers (catering, DJ, decor, cake etc).
Overall- our wedding was perfect for us and our guests throughly enjoyed it too. Thank you to the whole team at Hogarths.

An attentative and skilled team to make the day of your dreams go to plan

Wedding coordinator
Ellie is truly an amazing person, who is highly skilled and professional. She attentively listened to our wishes and delivered. We can't thank Ellie enough for her continued support throughout the whole wedding process. As two particular people, she really did make us feel as ease and we knew our wedding was in safe hands.

Wedding director
Above and beyond is an understatement to describe Dan. His skilful talent at being everywhere and his support for both bride and groom was flawless. Also, congrats on making sure we didn't see or bump into each other beforehand. He knew our wishes and made sure our day went seamlessly. His presence throughout the day was highly appreciated and his interaction with guests was like he was apart of the celebration.
April is certainly knowledgeable and highly skilled at what she does. Another friendly face to make our day feel special and fully capable of answering any of our questions thrown her way. Another brilliant member of such a fantastic team.

Bedrooms
Our guests all seamed very happy with their bedrooms, from the suites to the standard rooms. From what we saw of other bedrooms, they all had a luxury feel, were well maintained and were very well kept.
The bridal suite, on the other hand, was all the above times 10! Such an incredible room.

Hotel cleanliness
The hotel itself is clean, stylish and well looked after. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained

Customer service
The wedding team are a fantastic and skilled team, who are passionate about putting your needs above all.
A mention to the reception team, all who were polite, helpful and very friendly.

Quality of food
A thought beforehand lingers in your head that portion sizes are going to be small and what if our guests are still hungry and as a result want to leave early.
Instead, the food was incredible! Plenty to go round, tasty and thoroughly enjoyed by both ourselves and all our guests!

Value for money
The options and flexibility your hotel provides means anybody can be capable of planning their own special day at Hogarths to suit their own budget! This was true for ourselves.

The best day

We truly had the best day at Hogarths. Louise our wedding co-ordinator was brilliant in the lead up, always at the end of an email or the phone right from the word go (14 months before our wedding). She really listened to exactly what we wanted, right down to every tiny detail and made sure it happened. With menu tastings and lead up meetings you always feel in touch with the venue and planner. The staff on the day were so professional and could do nothing more for us or our guests. Such a beautiful venue and nights stay. We just wish we could do it all over again! Thank you everyone at Hogarths!

Highly recommend Hogarth's!

Thank you to the entire Hogarth's team for making our wedding the best day ever! From our first visit, to all the way through to the big day, the level of customer service has been outstanding. Every member of staff we’ve come across has been so polite and friendly, and nothing has ever been too much trouble. We met with Kaitlan Leach who first showed us around the hotel and was then our wedding Co-ordinator throughout the whole process. Kaitlan was very quick to respond to every query we had and was always so accommodating to changes we wanted. The day before our big day we met with Sophie who was going to be running everything on the day. Admittedly we were a bit apprehensive as we had been dealing mainly with Kaitlan throughout, however credit to the wedding team because Sophie was very well informed about all our plans and knew exactly how we wanted everything to be on the day! Sophie has a wonderful personality, clearly amazing at her job because she handled everything with ease even last minute changes. She reassured me as the bride to completely relax and let her do all the work, and I couldn't have put my faith in a better Wedding Director, so thank you so much Sophie and the rest of your team. We had quite a number of guest staying in the hotel and everyone commented on how lovely each and every member of staff were, nothing was ever too much trouble for anyone. The hotel itself is lovely, immaculately kept and has beautiful grounds which makes for stunning photos. The food is good and the pizza van on the wedding night is something everyone loved, all the pizzas tasted great! The rooms were all modern and clean, all our guests were happy with their accommodation. Thank you once again to the entire Hogarth's team for making our wedding the most special day to us, my husband and I highly recommend Hogarth's for any wedding and/or special occasion! We look forward to coming back.

Hogarths was certainly a perfect place

We were very happy, the honeymoon suite delightful.

With all this wild weather we think we were very lucky with the weather on Saturday...... Hogarths was certainly a perfect place to celebrate our wedding.

Your attention detail and willingness to help us as our plans unfolded was really really good. So our happy day came to a close, with lovely memories.

Absolutely incredible day

It was an absolutely incredible day from beginning to end. The planning was made so much easier with Charlotte and the day ran as well as it did thanks in large to Charlotte and not forgetting Ciara who took over towards the end. We both loved every minute of it and we would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married.
