Absolutely Amazing
From the very first visit, we were made to feel welcome, understood, and completely at ease. The staff were incredible. Professional, friendly, and genuinely invested in making our day everything we’d hoped for.
The grounds and the building itself are absolutely beautiful, and created such a magical backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Everything ran so smoothly on the day, and it’s clear the team really know what they’re doing. Nothing felt rushed or stressful, we were able to just enjoy every moment.
The food was amazing, the attention to detail was spot on, and we had so many compliments from our guests about how lovely everything was. It truly felt like our day, personal, relaxed, and full of joy.
If you're considering getting married here, do it. It was one of the best decisions we made.
Thank you again to all the staff who made our day so unforgettable!

The Perfect Venue for the Most Special Day
We couldn’t have been happier with our venue. Everyone we dealt with was amazing — especially Natalie, our coordinator, who was so helpful, patient, and genuinely lovely throughout. We had a lot of questions and ideas, and they gave us so much flexibility and support to create a day that truly felt like ours. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, the food was fantastic, and all the little extras were done to such a high standard. Their pricing is really competitive too, especially for everything that’s included. Would 100% recommend to anyone planning their big day!

Perfect Wedding Venue
2 years ago we chose Kelham House Country Manor to host our wedding on 08.06.24. This was the best decision we ever made.
We have since read recent, not so positive reviews and can only say these portrait the exact opposite of our experience.
From our very first meeting with Claire Simpson the level of service we have received has been absolutely first class.
We had the most fantastic day and the team at Kelham House Country Manor could not do enough, going above and beyond our expectations. Every single one of our guests commented positively about every single aspect of the day.
Kelham House Country Manor really is a fantastic venue with a superb team, who delivered a 6 Star level of service ******. We really cannot recommend them more!
Our heart felt thanks to Claire and her amazing team for giving us the perfect day to remember. Mr & Mrs H 🥰

The perfect dream venue
Kelham house was an absolute dream. When we first walked in and met Jess last year we knew we had found our venue !
Since then we have always been warmly welcomed, they’ve always been patient with our 100 questions and made to feel very special on each of our visits .
Katie our coordinator was a true star. A wonderful lady that is warm and extremely professional.
I cannot begin to describe our gratitude for her work behind the scenes to make our day run smoothly with us blissfully unaware of any bumps (despite a change of plans due to weather )
Their grounds are beautiful as is but also incredibly beautiful even in the rain .
I cannot recommend Kelham enough . They don’t tell you what wedding they can offer they instead work over and above to give you the wedding you want !!
They made our day seamless , beautiful and perfect !

A day we will never forget
Kelham House was, without doubt, the perfect venue for our wedding❤️
From the moment we first saw the house, we knew it would be the one for us. We had 90 guests during the day and a further 50 guests in the evening. The size of the venue made it feel intimate without it feeling cramped, with various rooms and areas for people to make use of throughout the entire day. The garden and grounds are beautiful and particularly in April when the trees are all in blossom. Claire and the team went above and beyond to make sure that everything ran smoothly and our guests loved the day as much as we did. We can't thank everyone at Kelham House enough, they truly made it a day that we will never ever forget.

The Best Venue!!
We booked my wedding at Kelham House Country Manor in 2021 after our wedding was cancelled twice from another venue. Claire Rawson was extremely friendly, kind and accommodating. She made us feel at ease and was thorough during all our appointments. We are so glad we came to Claire as she organized our day into something spectacular. She went above and beyond for us, and her team were fantastic, she had an eye for detail when it came to our wedding and she listened to us every step of the way. Our day turned our perfect even if the day was against us, Claire and her team were by our side the whole way. The food was delicious, and all our guests had nothing but compliments! We really had the best day and Kelham House made that possible for us! We cannot thank Claire and her team enough for everything they had done for us and there is nowhere else we would have had this experience.

Absolutely amazing
We had the best experience with Kelham House. From the second we booked we had full communication with 'claire' and had upto date information at all times.
She always kept calm and reassuring me at every step during covid times (we had to postpone)
We had the full site option which included use of 12 bedrooms, ceremony room, bar area and 2 reception rooms. There is also eoodland to the rear where we had photos taken.
On the day all the staff were so polite and could not have done more to accommodate myself and guests. It felt like a home from home and i will treasure the experience forever ✨️

The Best Day Ever
From the initial day we first went to look round this beautiful place we loved the staff and the feel! After looking around other places it became very apparent that not all wedding events managers are as good or as happy in their job role as Claire. She made the whole organisation leading up to the wedding so easy & stress free.
The whole day ran so smoothly & was even better than we had imagined! All of the staff were so accommodating and lovely with all of our guests.
Finally the photos that we’ve had from our wedding day show just how special the venue is with so many beautiful places in the grounds whether it be a Summer wedding or a Winter wedding like ours.
