About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2021

Last update: March 2024

Alton is a vibrant, rural market town situated at the gateway to the South Downs National Park. It is known as ‘Jane Austen Country’ due to its close ties to neighbouring Chawton, home of the Jane Austen House Museum. Alton House Hotel is a grand Grade II listed Georgian Building set it its own well-manicured gardens and within only a couple of minutes’ walk of Alton train station (just over 1 hour direct from London Waterloo), the town centre and the ‘Watercress Line’ heritage railway.

The hotel has award-winning gardens that provide a truly magical setting for your wedding ceremony and reception. The garden provides a beautiful backdrop for photographs with its own magical wrought iron gazebo. The gazebo is a permanent structure and therefore licensed for marriage ceremonies so you can exchange vows on the lawn, with a string quartet playing softly in the background.

How you choose to celebrate your wedding is a unique expression of your relationship. We understand the importance of ensuring that everything is simply perfect on your special day. From the moment you step into the hotel to the last notes of the final dance, we take immense pride in ensuring that it is everything that you dreamed it would be. Your wedding day requires careful attention, so we offer a dedicated wedding coordinator as well as an experienced team and friendly staff for you to consult with from the moment you book your wedding.

The hotel has forty-three bedrooms in total so there is room for your family and friends to stay overnight and make the most of their visit to Alton. Ample free parking available for guests and visitors to the hotel. With lots to see and do in and around Alton, the town serves as a convenient base to explore the local area. With so many villages within a few miles of Alton, visitors can take in the breath-taking views and the rich heritage of the region while they are here for your big day.

At Alton House Hotel we believe each couple is unique therefore we dont have set packages or minimum spends. We can offer the traditional sit down formal wedding breakfast or something more relaxed, your wedding can last the whole weekend or just a few hours, with 6 guests or 60 guests; your wedding, your choice!

Dear Alison

Hi Alison

I am just sending this mail to thank you and the Alton House Hotel or your organisation of the receptions of Nick and Teri. The venue looked wonderful - the tables and chairs, the location of the cake and the gardens outside.The whole day went off without a hitch despite the fact that we were running late after the speeches (apologies for that as I had told both groom and best man how much time they had). Despite this, all the food came out hot, so many thanks to your kitchen staff for their flexibility. We received many favourable comments about the quality of the food. The portions were more than generous and it was cooked perfectly. Overall, we could not have asked for a better day - nor could Nick and Teri have. We are very grateful to you and all those at the Alton House Hotel who helped make this such a memorable day.

Thanks you so much.

-Graham and Sue Ivey
