Karina Sent on 22/08/2024A lot of our guests said it was the best wedding they have been to
Mat and I had our Summer wedding at Hamswell house on Saturday 27th July and Sunday 28th July and it was the best decision we made.
From the very first time we saw Hamswell house, we were blown away by how beautiful the house and grounds are and the incredible views of the countryside. It was the perfect place for us to have an outdoor summer wedding where we could get married, surrounded by nature with our nearest and dearest!
On our wedding day, Hamswell house looked pristine. In the evening the lanterns looked stunning and the little touches they did didn’t go unnoticed. From the get go, we had guests complimenting the venue and the different areas we could explore as the wedding day went on- from the entrance walk to the beautiful house, to the ceremony under the lime tree, to the orangery confetti shot, the reception drinks with breathtaking views and the beautiful marquee setup, there was a lot of variety and this kept our guests guessing! We even had a very special golden hour photoshoot in the field above the house.
Rupert, the owner was very friendly and helpful, always answering emails efficiently and providing recommendations. It was great to have such accommodating hosts as our allies for our big day. From the beginning, you were so welcoming.
We were made to feel very welcome on the Sunday, when we all returned for a relaxed Sunday buffet which turned into fun games on the lawn afterwards.
We cannot recommend Hamswell house highly enough for a wedding! It was the best weekend of our lives and a lot of our guests said it was the best wedding they have been to as well.
Thank you so much Rupert and Hamswell House for such fond memories. I am sure we will return for a little wander in the future, to walk down memory lane! -

Alexandra Sent on 28/11/2024The most perfect venue
Toby and I got married at Hamswell House on 3rd August this year, it was honestly the most perfect venue and we couldn't have wished for a better day. All of our guests were blown away and it was so special. Rupert was so easy to deal with, answered any questions that we had and was always around should we need him. I loved that not many people knew the venue (it isn't like the other commercial venues you find) and that is why we loved it. We had so much flexibility, everything from the recommended caterers to the marquee company were fantastic. I want to do it all over again!!! -

Pippa Sent on 14/11/2024The most happy, fun-filled, wonderful day!
We had the most magical wedding day at Hamswell House! It is such a stunning venue, in the most superb setting with gorgeous views over the rolling hills of Bath. Working with Rupert throughout was great, he was very helpful and responsive, and it was great to see him over our wedding weekend too. Rupert's recommended suppliers were fab and super reliable, and we were happy to be able to recommend a couple more from our wedding on to his list. We had the most happy, fun-filled, wonderful day and we would highly recommend it as a wedding venue. -

Georgia Sent on 22/08/2024An incredible wedding venue
Hamswell House is an incredible wedding venue that you won't regret choosing! The location in the Somerset countryside is breathtakingly beautiful and provided a stunning backdrop for our special day. From the very start, communication with Rupert was seamless and easy. He was relaxed and accommodating, allowing us to personalise our wedding exactly as we envisioned. Our guests were thoroughly impressed and couldn't stop raving about the gorgeous grounds and scenery. We would wholeheartedly recommend Hamswell to anyone looking to make their wedding day truly memorable. -

Jack Sent on 10/08/2024A truly magical venue - our guests were totally blown away by the surrounding beauty
Simply stunning venue for the best day of our lives (11th May). We would wholeheartedly recommend!
The Hamswell team made us very welcome from start to finish and offered us lots of help and guidance in the build up to the day.
I must also mention the gardeners at Hamswell who have produced something very special which elevates this to a truly magical venue - our guests were totally blown away by the surrounding beauty.
Thank you so much Hamswell - a day we’ll never forget. -

Georgina Sent on 10/08/2024We would recommend Hamswell House to anyone in a heart beat
We got married at Hamswell House during the early May bank holiday and it was such a special day. We had guests travel from Australia and South Africa, so were keen to give them the quintessential English countryside wedding they deserved. The setting certainly did not disappoint and we have had so many compliments on how beautiful the wedding was - from the marquee setup, to the flowers, to the delicious food served by Epic Caterers. The gardens are kept in an immaculate condition and I can imagine look pristine all year round.
We would recommend Hamswell House as wedding venue to anyone in a heartbeat and we will always look back on our wedding day with very fond memories. Thank you so much to Rupert and all the Hamswell suppliers. -

Sarah Sent on 24/10/2023An absolutely perfect venue
Hamswell House was an absolutely perfect venue for us to get married, and I couldn't recommend it enough to anyone considering it! We knew as soon as we drove down the drive that it was special, but then we completely fell in love with it when Rupert pointed out the beautiful 400-year-old lime tree (under which we ended up having the ceremony), the gardens that hosts the oldest wisteria in England (!) and we saw the unreal views over the countryside. The house itself is also absolutely stunning, creating a beautiful backdrop for the day.
As it is a home and not solely a wedding venue, there are a limited number of weddings hosted there a year which makes it feel all the more special, and means you have the days before to set up and you aren't rushed out of there afterwards. We even had the option to host a lunch there the day after the wedding to debrief with our guests and extend the celebrations, which was such a highlight.
Rupert was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process, answering all of our questions and sharing his experience to help us with logistics, it made the whole process of planning the wedding SO much smoother, particularly as we were doing so from abroad!
We couldn't have hoped for a happier day and we are so thankful we trusted our instincts and booked this amazing venue. If you are thinking about it definitely do it you won't regret it!
