Beautiful Kingsettle

Susie and Rory are the most wonderful people to have on hand when planning a wedding, which can be at times, stressful! They’re always there when you have questions to ask and they’re super laid back.

The venue itself is just stunning. We got married in May 2024 which meant the peony garden was at its best. We had the most dreamy pictures taken in the walled garden and we got very lucky with the weather!

We loved the fact that it’s a dry hire so you can really put your own stamp on your day. The carriage room is so light and airy and the venue has lots of interesting nooks that you can really get creative with. The courtyard was so pretty with the lights we hired and it was amazing for our drinks reception.

All in all we would highly recommend Kingsettle Stud. Thanks Susie and Rory!

Weddings at Kingsettle are simply beautiful.

As an independent coordinator who’s had the pleasure of assisting couples with their special day there, it’s always such a privilege. Kingsettle offers the most wonderful space to create and design your day exactly as you wish.

Owners Susie and Rory are incredibly kind and helpful, they’ve created the most stunning setting for couples to celebrate in, and it truly shines through in every wedding. Photos don’t do it justice, it’s even more magical in person!!

Rustic fantastic wedding venue

Susie and Rory have provided a beautiful blank canvas which can be crafted to your perfect day. The charming array of ancient stables, barns and walled garden have been immaculately looked after and any combination of which can be used. We used then for a spacious dining room opening on to the court yard, a dance floor also opening to the court yard, bar & snug area. Leaving plenty of space for necessities such as catering rooms. Susie and Rory are happy for you to decorated these as you wish - notwithstanding their advice and experience of what has worked very well before.

There's no shortage of accommodation ranging from the adjoining farmhouse to the cabins (with log heated hot tubs!) to acres of tent pitching. If guests don't feel like pitching their own, call in a yurt hire company!

Susie and Rory have been superb at helping us plan the day all the way through to fruition. They can recommend suppliers and caterers, and help fully customise your perfect day. Having been to 7 weddings this year, our guests said this one blew it out of the water! And it did!

The most beautiful venue ❤️

We got married on a beautiful summers day at Kingsettle Stud-the most beautiful venue.
Everything was perfect. From the first day we met Susie who showed us around and answered all our questions, to all the prep, and the actual day. Everything was easy and totally stress free. Susie was just a msg away if we had any questions, requests or needed support.
The Venue is peaceful, rural, charming but classy and our guests were blown away.
We got married in the garden surrounded by flowers. We would highly recommend Kingsettle Stud as a wedding venue. We had a wonderful day and it could’ve not been any better. We loved that we had so much freedom to create the perfect wedding for us. We love thinking and talking about our wedding day. And so does our family.

The best personalised venue

Susie and Rory have the most amazing venue at Kingsettle, attached to their beautiful home which you can rent as part of the day. We used their walled garden for our drinks reception, followed by food and dancing in the barn, and stable area. The rustic yet chic venue can be styled as you like and it holds so much charm. We also used the shepherds huts and their self catering accommodation - and a morning after wood fired hot tub was amazing! It was the best day and we will be forever grateful that we were able to be part of this wonderful place's history.

The Perfect Venue

Kingsettle Stud was the most amazing venue for our wedding. From start to finish, Susie was helpful, flexible and supportive of our planning. Nothing was too much trouble and her advice and support was incredible when we were setting up the day before. Susie also offered help and advice on trusted contacts and suppliers which was invaluable.

The venue itself is stunning. We were able to have our ceremony in the meadow, but the Carriage House was on standby in case of bad weather. The stables were the perfect place for our night time reception. We loved that the venue itself is a blank canvas that we could use to decorate in our own style.

The shepherd’s hut we stayed in was comfortable, very well designed and the welcome basket was beyond generous.

In short, we couldn’t recommend Kingsettle Stud more.

A beautiful and unique venue

A beautiful and unique venue with multiple different places you can have your ceremony. We had ours down a peony filled aisle which felt like a dream. The flow of the venue is fantastic as well meaning you get lots of variety for the day. It’s a very special place and Susy and Rory are so helpful and lovely too!

September 2024 Wedding

We had the most incredible day hosting our wedding at the amazing stud venue! The rustic charm and quirkiness of the outbuildings, magnificent walled garden and natural beauty of the surrounding space gave us the perfect blank canvas to bring our vision to life.
The owners were responsive, and always willing to offer advice when we needed it, but also gave us complete freedom to make the day our own.

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding and would highly recommend to future couples seeking a unique and laid back wedding day.

Bets wedding ever

Susie and Rory are super helpful hosts and so flexible and easy going. The world is your oyster with this venue, with nothing off limits (within reason). And you get the whole place to yourself for the whole weekend.
It's truly beautiful and us and our guests had such a memorable day.

Beautiful rustic venue

A truly stunning venue with beautiful charm. There are so many spots on the farm that you have access to for the vows, and the large barns and courtyard are a great place for everyone to be. We were blessed with 30+ degree weather so the space was great for reception drinks and we even had a bit of a dance in the courtyard. The accommodation that is also provided is great for the bridal party.

Susie and Rory were super friendly and informative when we first started speaking with them and were extremely accommodating with our requests to make our day that bit more special. I'd highly recommend Kingsettle Stud to anyone!

Fairytale venue

Our wedding had to be rescheduled due to Covid and Susie was so supportive and understanding. Great communication all the whole 18 months from booking to our wedding day. When we wanted to come view the venue it was never too much trouble. Was really useful we could bring vendors and key family members there to have a look around beforehand.
They also open the gardens up a few times a year which we try to come to, to reminisce our special day.

We loved the fact we weren’t kicked out first thing in the morning the day after our wedding, there was no one else there, the venue was ours. Gardens provided great entertainment for guests.

We saved a fortune on flowers as the venue has so many beautiful ones already provided. The venue has lots of space for big family photos and little private areas for couple photos. All of our guests have told us it’s the best venue they have been too. No other venue compares when we were viewing them.

Set up and clear up the next day formed part of the whole wedding day for us, was great having everyone help out, turned into abit of a wed fest.

Best DIY wedding venue we could have asked for!

The first time we visited Kingsettle we were blown away by firstly the stunning setting, but secondly the warmth and laid back approach from Susie who we met with. We knew we wanted to be able to plan and pick our own wedding elements, rather than a ‘cookie cutter’ wedding and found the whole process super easy. We were able to personalise so many elements of our day that wouldn’t have been possible if we’d have gone for a bigger venue. We also loved that you were not forced out the next morning and could set up the day before.

Susie and Rory made it the most magical day

Kingsettle was a wonderful setting for our wedding. In a world of ‘off the peg’ weddings we wanted to be able to create something bespoke to our tastes. Kingsettle fitted the bill perfectly. We opted to hire the space because we were able to overlay our dreams onto this enchanting location. Susie’s approach as our wedding consultant was perfectly balanced. She was always available to support our planning, yet unobtrusive. When we were struggling to find vendors for very specific requirements she had a wide array of contacts who were able to provide all the extras we needed, but at no point did we get the hard sell or feel obliged to use them. They also opened up their beautiful home to us and allowed us to stay there during the wedding, which created the perfect environment to start our celebrations. On a more personal level, she was there not only as practical support, but as a listening ear to take off the stress and burden of planning such an important day. Guests commented that it looked like something from a film set. Simply put, it was magical.

What a gem we found…

We were lucky enough to be one of the first couples to get married and what an incredible gem we found. The setting is picture-perfect, with natural beauty that made our day a dream. Susie and Rory were so kind and supportive throughout. Even years later, we still couldn’t imagine choosing anywhere else to say “I do.” Thank you for everything ❤️

Rory & I married at Kingsettle in 2016, then a derelict Victorian Stable-block on his family farm, and that's where the story began. We're lucky to now live here, and love to see our home transformed into the ultimate party venue by our amazing couples! It's very much still a side-hustle for us; i'm an equine vet, and Rory manages the Estate for his father. With nearly a decade of weddings under our belt though, each one completely unique (and amazing!), we're well equipped to guide our couples through the process! I tend to manage the office side of things, whilst Rory will usually be the one to show couples around. We really look forward to meeting you, and hope that you love our venue as much as we do!

Susie & I married here in 2016, and we've been hosting Weddings here at Kingsettle ever since. The Cholderton Estate is my family's farm, which I manage for my father. The Wedding Venue is our side-hustle; it certainly keeps life interesting, but we'd like to say we're pretty experienced in all things 'Wedding' now. Nothing fazes us! Generally i'll conduct the viewings, whilst Susie is at the 'business end' in the office.
