Our Christmas Wedding! 🎄🥂

What an incredible experience we had organising and holding our wedding at Hogarths Hotel. From the very first enquiry we felt valued and welcomed and those high standards of service were maintained throughout the planning process, and on our wedding weekend (22nd December 2024).
We can’t describe the weekend as anything less than absolutely outstanding!
We have had a lot of conversations with the Reception team leading up to the day, with lots of wedding guest questions and queries. Every single question was answered with confidence, experience and care. We felt well looked after throughout the entire weekend.
We needed to book rooms that were close to each other due to sharing the parental care of our son and Gracie on Reception handled everything beautifully. The rooms were exceptionally clean, comfortable and the beds were a dream!! All of our guests commented on how quiet and comfortable their nights sleeps were and if we weren’t so nervous for the big day, Rome & I would’ve slept wonderfully too - we will definitely be back to make the most of these gorgeous rooms again in the future.
Joel on the bar looked after our guests who were drinking and socialising over the weekend so thank you to him!!
The breakfasts were delicious! We were treated like VIPs and our guests were too, it was just a beautiful weekend and exactly how we wanted our guests to be treated.
In case you’re reading this and thinking of holding your wedding or any other special event at Hogarths, we will say that the whole Wedding & Events team are absolutely fantastic!
Taylor Duffy was our Wedding Coordinator and Taylor was just a dream to work with. From the very first show around until the moment we checked out on the 23rd December, Taylor has been such a brilliant support. From the very start, she understood exactly what we wanted from our day and helped us bring the whole thing to life. Taylor is a talented and dedicated Wedding & Events Coordinator and we wish her the very best for her future! Erin, Laura and Amy were all fantastic at helping us with any questions and providing advice too. It was genuinely a whole team effort!
Now, the food. OMG… the food.
It was completely faultless! We had 66 guests at our wedding and each dish that came out, from canapés to the main wedding breakfast and evening buffet, was outstanding. Hot and very tasty!
We worked with Taylor & Hogarth’s talented chefs to create a bespoke wedding Caribbean buffet for our evening food and it was just outstanding. The flavours and spice levels were just perfect. This was a really important aspect of the day for us and it was better than we even imagined it to be.
We have had so many compliments on how beautiful the food was throughout the day. We even had multiple guests who had various dietary requirements and these were all accommodated for without any issues at all!
Jake & Jess (very experienced & fantastic Wedding Directors), along with all the Wedding Day team (we wish we remembered everyone’s names) were fab fab fab! They looked after everything and ran the day perfectly. A special shoutout to Toby!! At the time he was relatively new to the Hogarths family and his role on the day was to look after Rome & I. He was so brilliant so thank you Toby!
We would love to thank each member of staff working that weekend. You all were so friendly and provided outstanding service to not just our wedding party but the vibe throughout the hotel was gorgeous!
Our day was completely unforgettable and we wish we could do it all over again! 🩷
We wish Hogarth’s all the success for the future and we will definitely be back in the future!

A beautiful venue with first class service provided throughout.

Hogarths is a beautiful venue and we knew we wanted it for our wedding as soon as we viewed it. It was the only local venue that gave us the wow factor and the service we received throughout was perfect. Laura our wedding planner was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful throughout and we felt that she really cared about us and our wedding. We never felt like we were just another customer.

Jess was our venue coordinator on the day of the wedding and was equally as brilliant. The whole day ran smoothly and the operation was planned to perfection. We had a sunny day so was able to have a lovely ceremony on the island which is what we wanted.

Jess and the team even did things we would never have thought about such as finding a vase for my bouquet and moving the bud vases from our tables to the private breakfast room we had the next morning.

I would highly recommend Hogarth’s and many of our guests were wowed by the hotel and the grounds. Our day was perfect!

amazing venue I’m a great location everything you could ask for your wedding day

We booked Hogarths for our wedding 11/5/24 and were married on the island thankfully the sun was out as most of the wedding was planned for outdoors
Staff could not be more helpful and attentive nothing was any trouble even down to keeping the flowers for the best man in the fridge due to the heat until just before the ceremony
Checking on myself and the bridesmaids getting ready in the bridal suite for sure we had everything we needed
Food was amazing ans we had some many comments on what a great venue and how attentive the staff were ensuring our day went smoothly

Perfect Day!

We had our Wedding Breakfast at Hogarths on Thursday 6th June, and it was truly amazing. Laura was our wedding planner and she couldn’t have been more helpful making it all totally stress free from beginning to end. On the day we had Jess and her team looking after us and they were just fantastic. The food was awesome, our guests are still talking about it. We, and our guests, were made to feel so special, the service was excellent. Our day was truly perfect because of the whole team at Hogarths and we couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend.

A magical day!

My wife and I had our wedding here last October and we couldn’t have hoped for a more magical day! From the get go, the Hogarths team were on hand to help us every step of the way. All of our guests couldn’t compliment the staff enough, as they were so friendly and attentive. The grounds are stunning and the BBQ we had was to die for! All in all, we would 100% recommend Hogarths as a wedding venue. 🥰😊

Fantastic service! Best day of our lives

My parents got married here years ago and when me and my fiancée were venue hunting, this was top of our list. With enough rooms to accommodate our out of town guests and more, delicious food and wonderful service, they made our special fay seamless.

Indian civil ceremony and reception

From the onset -Ellie dealt with us and gave us a tour. We fell in love with the venue but we’re torn between Hogarths and one other. We discussed corkage and the agreement made - resulted in us choosing Hogarth.
On the day of the wedding- all staff were attentive. Through the getting ready, lead up to the ceremony, during the ceremony, after the ceremony, the gap between the civil and reception, during the reception, after reception and even breakfast yeh next day- staff were at a hand to help in every single way.
They worked well with our other suppliers (catering, DJ, decor, cake etc).
Overall- our wedding was perfect for us and our guests throughly enjoyed it too. Thank you to the whole team at Hogarths.

A special and magical day

From the moment we walked into the building we knew we were going tomget married at hogarths! From the warm welcome from the reception team to Ellie ur wedding coordinator, nothing was to much hassle and they held our hand the whole way. The grounds are incredible and have given us some amazing memories we will cherish forever. We booked our wedding 18 months in advance and having never planned a.wedding before the weddings team knew exactly what they were talking about and guided us through the process. Spring forward to our big day and it was more than I had dreamed of. The running of the day, the whole team the food everything qas perfect. Marieanne was our wedding director on the day and there really are no words for how amazing she was. Making sure everyone was where they were meant to be when they had to be there, all thenstudf we had brought to be set up on the day was done without hassle and just how I vision's it. Honestly, not a thing went wrong and its a place we hold dear in our hearts. Thank you the whole hogarths team for helping create the most magical and memorable day of our lives xx

Christmas Eve Wedding

We had the most amazing small but perfect wedding and Christmas few days, the venue was so accommodating allowing me to decorate as I wished and even to change some of their decor. The staff were very friendly and Wayne and Dan on the day were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble. Louise our wedding coordinator was very helpful and lovely to work with.

An attentative and skilled team to make the day of your dreams go to plan

Wedding coordinator
Ellie is truly an amazing person, who is highly skilled and professional. She attentively listened to our wishes and delivered. We can't thank Ellie enough for her continued support throughout the whole wedding process. As two particular people, she really did make us feel as ease and we knew our wedding was in safe hands.

Wedding director
Above and beyond is an understatement to describe Dan. His skilful talent at being everywhere and his support for both bride and groom was flawless. Also, congrats on making sure we didn't see or bump into each other beforehand. He knew our wishes and made sure our day went seamlessly. His presence throughout the day was highly appreciated and his interaction with guests was like he was apart of the celebration.
April is certainly knowledgeable and highly skilled at what she does. Another friendly face to make our day feel special and fully capable of answering any of our questions thrown her way. Another brilliant member of such a fantastic team.

Bedrooms
Our guests all seamed very happy with their bedrooms, from the suites to the standard rooms. From what we saw of other bedrooms, they all had a luxury feel, were well maintained and were very well kept.
The bridal suite, on the other hand, was all the above times 10! Such an incredible room.

Hotel cleanliness
The hotel itself is clean, stylish and well looked after. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained

Customer service
The wedding team are a fantastic and skilled team, who are passionate about putting your needs above all.
A mention to the reception team, all who were polite, helpful and very friendly.

Quality of food
A thought beforehand lingers in your head that portion sizes are going to be small and what if our guests are still hungry and as a result want to leave early.
Instead, the food was incredible! Plenty to go round, tasty and thoroughly enjoyed by both ourselves and all our guests!

Value for money
The options and flexibility your hotel provides means anybody can be capable of planning their own special day at Hogarths to suit their own budget! This was true for ourselves.
