A wonderful place full of winderful staff

We recently had our wedding at Holmewood Hall and could not be happier! From our first visit we could see that the venue was absolutely stunning, but we were delighted to find that the staff are so friendly and accommodating too. Our wedding coordinator Giulia was an absolute star. Nothing was too much trouble and she went over and above to help us make the day exactly as we wanted, offering suggestions when we wanted them on how we could make different ideas work on our budget.
One of the reasons we chose Holmewood Hall is that we knew it would be a brilliant setting whatever the weather threw at us on the day, and with the weather we getting in the UK these days that was certainly a good choice. Rain showers in the run up to the day meant the ground was too wet to have the ceremony outside, but I am actually glad for it as the Gold Room is stunning and the large mirror at the front means I could see all our guests who’d been arriving whilst I was getting ready. We were lucky enough to have a gorgeous sunny afternoon for canapes and games of croquet on the lawn. We had so many compliments from our guests on the venue, with people saying how exciting it was to have lots of different rooms each with a different vibe and how seamlessly the day moved from one activity to another. Anyone who is involved in events knows that this only happens when there is a brilliant, experienced team behind the scenes making it happen.
The packages the venue offer mean we were able to offer our guests much more than if we had found a venue and done things ourselves (and with much less stress!) Being able to stay onsite meant there was no hassle about getting to a hotel at the end and was convenient as our boys and their cousins were with us. A tiny niggle was that I couldn't get hot water for my shower int he mronig, but I imagine that was because people in all 18 rooms were trying to do that at 5minutes before breakfast was served. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. As was the food served at the wedding breakfast on the day (more compliments from the guests here.)
In short, we loved it and would highly recommend.

A special venue

Holmewood Hall were outstanding, the venue is beautiful and everything runs like clockwork, the staff are prepared, relaxed and know what to do. They were extremely accommodating. A particular special thanks to Lee who was seemingly working for 24 hours straight on the day of the wedding, and always available, incredible.

Just perfect! We loved our dream wedding at Holmewood Hall.

We couldn't be happier with our choice of wedding venue at Holmewood Hall. The entire experience was outstanding, thanks to the amazing help from Katie and the whole team. Special mention goes to Lee, whose help and commitment were truly incredible.

From start to finish, the team was so attentive, making us feel like royalty. Every detail was taken care of with such care and precision, ensuring our wedding was perfect. We got so many compliments from our guests!

The venue itself is very beautiful, with room for each activity, accommodating any weather situation seamlessly.

We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a memorable and flawless wedding experience!

Absolutely Amazing

We had looked at quite a few venues in the area already and this one was the best. The moment we walked in the ceremony room we knew this was the place we wanted to get married.
The house is so lovely with many rooms for you to use. It kept our guests guessing on the day as they thought the evening reception was where we had our meal which it wasn’t. Our older guests liked they could sit in a quieter room with nice surroundings.
The staff are all amazing and nothing is too much trouble for them. Our guest commented on how professional and lovely they were.
The food, well can’t fault it. Food was hot when brought out and brought out in good time. The evening buffet went down a treat with the guests with it being filled regularly.
We stayed the night and lots of guests did too, they all loved the bedrooms and no room is the same.
Everything just went so smoothly you have someone on the day to go to and tell you where need to go etc. We really loved Holmewood Hall and definitely recommend.

Absolutely amazing!!

We are absolutely blown away by how amazing our day was at Holmewood Hall! We picked Holmewood because it is just a stunning venue, as well as being perfectly located for our friends and family (even though it felt way too fancy for us haha!). The package offered was exactly what we wanted (especially with the Christmas decor!) and with so many inclusions that we knew it would make planning much easier, and when I say the team at Holmewood delivered, they REALLY delivered!! We had Lee as our Personal Wedding Manager and he was absolutely amazing, nothing was too much trouble. He was so thorough with the details and went through every possible option for our day during our 6-month planning meeting. Katie was our initial contact with the venue, and she showed us round on our first visit, pre-booking - again, super thorough with so much information (things we hadn’t even considered at that point!) but she wasn’t pushy about booking at all, just very patient and explained anything we were unsure on. All communication with the team, either Lee or Katie, was spot on - any queries or concerns were answered really quickly, we had regular updates and check-ins either over email or phone call in the run-up to the big day and lots of reassurance! On the day, Lee was so lovely and a really calming presence who took all of our ideas and ‘on-paper’ planning and made it a reality. He managed to corral all of our guests and get everyone to where they needed to be at exactly the right time, and somehow managed to be present exactly when we needed him but not obviously hanging around?! Some sort of amazing wedding planner sixth sense! The rest of the team on the day were fantastic - the bar and waiting staff were so attentive, very friendly and more than happy to help our guests with whatever they needed. The food and drinks throughout the day were delicious too - from the canapés and welcome drinks through the wedding breakfast and the evening buffet… it was all stunning and we were never waiting for courses, everyone was served at the same time which was really amazing. I cannot recommend Holmewood Hall enough - if you want a venue that provides an amazing almost all-inclusive package alongside a fantastic team then you must consider Holmewood Hall for your wedding day. We also hired the rooms for our guests, and the breakfast the following day was also amazing. Thank you to Lee & Team, our day wouldn’t have been as perfect as it was without you all. We will be back on our 1st Anniversary for a dinner date!!

The most perfect day!

Holmewood hall was amazing from start to finish. All the staff were so attentive, organised and efficient leading up to and on the day. Giulia was always on hand to answer any questions and honestly made the day go flawlessly. We brought lots of our own decor to use and the team set everything up and packed away so carefully and it looking stunning.
All guests with dietary requirements were catered for perfectly and most of them commented on how must of a positive experience the food was.
The wedding breakfast was served and everyone said the portion sizes were very filling, there was evening food left over (unheard of).

The DJ set up the perfect playlist based on our likes dislikes and requests. The first dances were organised and worked perfectly. I would recommend getting as much confetti as possible for the indoor dance shot, as it came out stunning.

The catering team and cleaning team turned everything around so quickly it was like there was never any mess.

As a bride you might be anxious about not moving into the bridal suite until 11, but this honestly gave plenty of time to move everything over, finish getting ready and getting dressed perfectly for the ceremony. Guests commented on how clearly you could hear with the acoustics of the gold room for the ceremony, I would recommend the inside ceremony, for the use of the stunning mirror and for your guests to be able to hear you!

Holmewood also purchased mini golf which we added on last minute, this stays out all evening and some of our guests even got another round in the next morning before breakfast.

We would recommend Holmewood to anyone who asked, worth every penny! Giulia, Kala and team were perfect. Thanks again.

Absolutely Outstanding!

We had our wedding at Holmewood Hall on Saturday and it was the most perfect weekend!
The Bridal party stayed in the Cottage the night before and had an incredible evening, making the most of the local pizzaria (Sub Xpress Pizza) and hot tub.
On the wedding day itself Lee, our Wedding Planning Manager, could not have done enough for us, everything was as we had planned and everything was spot on.
The food was incredible, as were the drinks. Lee made sure we were able to have a completely gluten free wedding, and I must say it surpassed all expectations. Myself and my gluten free guests got to eat food we haven't been able to for years!
We also stayed for the breakfast the next morning, which was also fantastic.
On the leadup to the wedding Lee did everything he could to answer all my questions and gathered all the required information for the running of the day.
All in all, it could not have asked for a better venue, we had outstanding customer service and exceptional planning.

Our experience at just early stages. Wow!!

Friendly, welcoming, professional, clean, and just all round so excited to have our wedding at this dream place, they are fast responding and so happy to help with literally everything no matter how big or small Katie and Lee are just so amazing I couldn't have asked for a better team to help plan our wedding and help us. We are only in the early stages but if I'm this impressed, I so can not wait for the big day. I'm sure they smash it.

Perfect from start to finish

Words cannot say how pleased we were with every aspect of the wedding. Coming from a service industry background our expectations of customer service is extremely high. Holmewood Hall did not disappoint From the very minute my daughter arrived the evening before the wedding, to the minute we left the following morning, everything was absolutely spot on. Nothing was too much trouble Every single member of staff desperately wants the day to be perfect and go out of their way to ensure that this happens. As a parent you know you’ve nailed it when your daughter keeps telling you that they’ve had the best day of their life and want to do it all again. If I had one complain it would be that it was over way to fast !!!! Well done Holmewood Hall you surpassed all our wildest dreams

Seemless Wedding

The team at Holmewood have been absolutely amazing. We the current covid climate, our guest list, seating plan, and catering requirements were changing right up to the morning of the wedding, and Holmewood just took it in their stride. They enabled us to also have a live stream of our wedding for those who couldn't attend.
The food was brilliant with different variations for vegan and vegetarians, gluten-free and dairy-free. Their service at the breakfast was seamless and they just kept checking in with us to make sure everything was going well. I could not have asked for a better 24 hours.

Our ideal venue!!!

From our first visit to Holmewood we knew that we had found where we were going to get married. Holmewood offers the amazing benefit of beautiful spaces BOTH inside and outside (which was fortunate for us when it started raining on our wedding day as we were able to move indoors smoothly with no impact on the celebration). We were provided with our amazing wedding planner Polly who was with us for every step of our wedding journey and the Holmewood staff were the most efficient and welcoming team we could imagine. Thank you so much for creating such a magical setting for our wedding!

Perfect venue and amazing staff

My wife and I knew this venue was perfect for us the minute we stepped foot on the grounds for our visit. All the staff were so professional, caring and attentive to everyone’s needs. Lee is absolutely incredible at what he does and really brought our perfect day to life. Every one of our guests have said that the day was absolutely perfect and everything was stunning. If we could go back and do it again then we would in a heartbeat. We are so thankful for everything and we appreciate everyone’s hard work and effort that went into our day.

Wow, what an experience!

You dream of a perfect wedding day, and hope all will go well. That was so easy with the superb assistance provided by both the sales team and wedding planner at the hall.
The venue is perfection and the staff likewise. All my guests commented on the lovely staff and excellent service.
