Reviews for Kelham House Country Manor Hotel
Mr & Mrs McMunn
Nigel's and Jean's wedding
Married in August 2025!
Kelham let you tailor your day exactly how you have visioned it your whole life.
A special mention to Natalie who was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Made sure everything ran perfectly and even rescued our leaning cake! She made the day extra special, very lucky she was our wedding co-ordinator.
Dream Halloween wedding
It is such a beautiful place nice and quiet. Staff are amazing.
Natalie our planner was so attentive and did everything to make our day perfect.
We only had a small wedding but was the best day.
Excellent service from the team at Kelham House
The venue was beautiful and the food was incredible.
We would definitely recommend to anyone as Olivia made the planning much more easier and relaxed.
It also suited our budget, and not only us but all the guests loved the venue, we had an amazing day.
Matthews wedding
For a bit of context we went through 4 wedding planners before Olivia. With little communication. However Kelham have found a gem within Olivia.
Nothing we requested was too big. Clair the manager dealt with issues we had but the entire staff made our day.
My grandmother in law had to be taken to hospital (nothing serious) and rather than a family member taken away from the celebrations 2 members of staff took her and brought her back from being patched up. The team kelham now have is unbelievable.
Ensuring the groom (myself) had a bottle of his favourite whiskey was not a problem. They took care of every little detail on the day.
Just want to say a huge thank you to Olivia and the entire team at kelham for making our special day so very memorable.
Book this venue for your wedding will be the best thing any couple could do!!
Thank you kelham!
Just wow - Venue and team are on point.
Best coordinator ever
Kelham House are incredibly lucky to have Lauren, she's the one making all the magic happen behind the scenes, even when things get a bit... unpredictable!
Thanks again for everything!

No wonder they’re award winning ❤️
From the moment we set our eyes on Kelham House Country Manor we knew it was the venue for us. That first meeting with the planners was how we envisioned that going. Amy Wigfield was our lead wedding planner and she was just amazing throughout. No detail was left out, she is bubbly, incredibly friendly and most importantly, highly skilled at her job! Nothing was too much trouble along the way and even on the day she was there every step! A special mention to Natalie, Lauren, Claire and the legend that is Stanley 😊 (if you know, you know) as they all played a part in making our day the one we had hoped for.
We were lucky enough to be able to have the venue the night before and took advantage of the private dining. There was 10 in total and really added another special touch to our wedding eve sharing that space both family and friends that were staying there the night before the big day!
If you're reading this and wondering, is this the venue for me? Are the team going to look after me? Is this my wedding venue? YES it is! You wont be disappointed.
The Billingham’s
Absolutely Amazing
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!
