Liv Sent on 27/03/2025You won't find anywhere better!
We got married at All Saints Church on the driveway of Huntsham Court, and then had all our celebrations at Huntsham Court in March 2025.
It was the most incredible weekend, in one of the most stunning venues. Our guests, like us, were blown away by the grand building and the surrounding views. Friday night was a casual evening for guests to get to know each other, have a drink and dinner from a food van - then Saturday was the main event!
The way Huntsham Court is run is so relaxed for such a historic location - a total dry hire, which means you organise everything yourself. That also means no corkage fees, which enabled us to stay within budget whilst offering an open bar for the full weekend.
We were also allocated a freelance wedding coordinator (Laura) by the management of the building, who was able to help us understand how everything works, hire staff, organise bedroom setups, gather insurances from vendors etc. - all within the original fee. We additionally chose to pay Laura to be there on the wedding day, which was a great decision. The whole day went seamlessly with not a single hiccup (as far as us and our guests know!)... it was such a relief to enjoy our day and not have to manage anything.
We can't recommend Huntsham Court enough! -

The best wedding experience anyone could ask for.
Words cannot describe how much we loved our wedding weekend. Our guests all said it was the best wedding that they have ever attended.
It was perfect from start to finish.
We started with a pizza and Prosecco party on the Friday night, a 5k wedding run Saturday morning followed by the traditional wedding day (with a church blessing at All Saints), finally finishing with a Sunday brunch.
The venue is incredible and everyone was blown away by Huntsham Court. We didn’t need many decorations as it is so perfectly decorated by the owners with a huge Christmas tree as a perfect December touch.
Everyone loved their bedrooms which are all so uniquely incredible (I wish I could spend a night each one!)
From the moment we reached out to Huntsham in January, we were met with professionalism and excellence.
Our wedding planner, Laura (Kept Weddings) was unbelievable - nothing was soo much trouble and everything ran seamlessly on the day bringing our exact vision to life.
My mum would like to say a special thank you to Colin who saved the day with the cake!
All the staff were also amazing and helped in every way possible.
Each room is beyond beautiful - a candlelit dinner in the yellow room and library (my favourite room), dancing till the early hours in the great hall and wandering the grounds (even on a freezing day in December).
Don’t even hesitate to book Huntsham - you could never be disappointed.
We wish we could do it all over again (and again and again…).
Thank you so so so much again. In a year of great uncertainty and stress for our family ended with the best memories we could ever ask for and that is down to everyone at Huntsham Court.

Charlotte Sent on 23/11/2024The most amazing wedding venue
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue than Huntsham Court for our wedding day. We were initially drawn to Huntsham Court due to the flexibility around suppliers, the no-corkage fee, and it's dog friendly! And when we went to view the venue we fell in love with it. Having a weekend wedding was perfect for us, and the fact the venue has so many bedrooms meant most of our guests stayed on site, which made it so convenient for our guests and allowed us to spend quality time with friends and family before, during and after the wedding without feeling rushed. We didn't need many decorations as the house is absolutely stunning. It's beautiful and grand, but at the same time warm, welcoming and cozy. Such an amazing atmosphere. Everything is super flexible (food, drinks, room layout, suppliers, dog friendly) which helped make it such a personal and unique day for us. The venue's wedding co-ordinator (Jenny) was amazing - she handled every aspect of the day flawlessly so we could relax and enjoy the day as we knew we were in good hands. Lots of the guests commented that it was the best wedding venue they've been to (and we agree!). Thank you Huntsham Court for an unforgettable and magical day!Huntsham Court's reply:
Thank you Charlotte for taking the time to leave a review.
Firstly, congratulations on your recent marriage!
We are so pleased you had a fantastic wedding weekend, celebrating with your nearest and dearest.
Its great to know that the venue's freedom and flexibility when it comes to no corkage, no packages and ability to hand select all suppliers meant your wedding unfolded exactly as you had hoped.
We wish you every happiness on your journey as a married couple and we sincerely hope to see you back at the venue in the future.
From all the team at Huntsham Court. -

Stunning venue, unforgettable experience
We chose Huntsham because of the ability to have all our guests stay on one site - it really made the whole weekend that bit more special. Our planner Natalie was extremely helpful in planning and coordinating the day.
Staff were very responsive and great at onboarding and communicating with our suppliers: it was really good to have the ability to choose your own caterers etc. The no corkage fee was a definite plus for us. We hired a number of their staff during the weekend including bar staff, glass collectors, movers, general staff; all of whom were extremely helpful and efficient.
We held a number of different events throughout our weekend, including a cinema screening on the Friday and a ceilidh on the Saturday night.
We booked the entire venue and all of our guests loved the rooms which each had their own charms.
There's a lot of paperwork to arrange and read in preparation for the weekend (something like 30+ docs in one email) with limited flexibility and it made it feel a little overwhelming, but the whole weekend experience made up for this.
Highly recommend! -

Nicole Sent on 07/12/2024Gorgeous venue but totally self-catering
Such a gorgeous venue! Each beautifully decorated room was full of character, whether a function room or bedroom, and we loved every single one of them. We wanted a local wedding venue with stunning interiors (to allow for the great British weather), could provide accommodation for us and our overseas guests, and was also dog-friendly for our most important bridal party member Lottie. Huntsham Court ticked all the boxes and was the perfect mix of warm hospitality and vintage opulence. The housekeeping and bar staff hired by our planner Laura, who works as one of their in-house planners, were extremely pleasant to work with – cheerful and chatty but also efficient at carrying out their tasks. We also appreciated the freedom to hire any vendors provided their insurance/licences were suitable, and there was no corkage fee – something which stands out against competitors which tend to designate fixed caterers or have exorbitant corkage.
Cons – certainly not the cheapest venue in the area, and the price only includes the venue, 2 porter slots and 6 hours of a planner’s time to help with essential admin e.g. ensuring your vendors have appropriate PAT testing on their equipment. No other house staff or any consumables are included. While this means any additional costs are completely in your control, it also means you have a lot of organizing to do! We quickly realized that many things that we took for granted (as our minimal wedding experience had been in hotels) such as glass collectors, dishwashing tablets, and instant coffee had to be sourced and supplied by us. We decided to hire the in-house planner for a more comprehensive package to assist with staff hire and advice on vendors who were used to the venue and would have the appropriate licenses/insurance/equipment (although the venue does not limit vendors per se), which increased expenditure further. We believe that the extent of how self-catering the venue is should be more clearly explained on their website as we were not aware that we would be having to supply our own bin bags at the point of putting down our deposit.
Would we hire it again? All our guests were awestruck and had the best time exploring the ground floor, the gardens and even the bedrooms after others had checked out. Everyone was complimentary of the décor and the staff. Maybe, now that we are aware of the level of planning required and the “hidden” charges, we would still be open to considering it for our 10 year anniversary.Huntsham Court's reply:
Dear Nicole.
We are so pleased you had the best time celebrating your wedding here at Huntsham Court! Its always fabulous to hear that the guests were awestruck by the venue and the décor.
We are sorry to hear that you didn’t feel some of the information was particularly clear. We do advertise our hire rates online, ensuring we are transparent in terms of the hire cost and what this includes from the very beginning. Any costs regarding optional extras like choosing to hire freelance staff, fire pits, adding extra portering moves, etc are discussed during the viewing and the initial stages of the booking. Plus, we make ourselves available throughout the booking / planning process to discuss any of these topics and assist with your queries at any time.
With the inclusion of round tables, trestle tables, table linen, napkins, glassware, cutlery, crockery, cake stands, platters, wedding cake knives, candelabras, bar equipment, garden furniture, games and much more, we like to think we cover a lot of the necessities compared to the average dry hire venue.
Hopefully, you were able to make good use of all of these items while celebrating at the venue.
Obviously, we are thrilled to hear that the dry hire and corkage-free nature of Huntsham Court suited your plans. Being able to hand pick each supplier means each couple gets to create the wedding they had envisaged, rather than being tied to packages. The freedom to create your very own home-from-home experience is what sets us apart from other package venues and hotels, allowing couples to fully customise their stay in their own style.
Its also lovey top hear that you had a fantastic experience with Laura from Kept weddings, one of the South Wests top freelance Event Managers! We are so lucky to work with such a wonderful group of independent planners in the local area. Their expertise and experience can be invaluable to those who need a little extra support during the planning process.
From all of the team at Huntsham Court, we wish you every happiness together and we sincerely hope to see you back at the venue to celebrate your 10yr wedding anniversary.

Absolutely fantastic
We recently celebrated our wedding at the breathtaking Huntsham Court, and it was, without a doubt, the best days of our lives. The venue itself is stunningly beautiful, and the staff were absolutely brilliant – friendly, fun, and attentive to every detail.
Our wedding planner and coordinator, Laura, was an integral part of making our dreams come true. Her expertise and warm personality ensured everything ran smoothly and effortlessly. Laura collaborated perfectly with the Huntsham Court team, creating a seamless and memorable experience for everyone involved.
At Huntsham Court, nothing was ever an issue or too much to ask. We were all made to feel incredibly special, and our guests had the best time ever. The picturesque location, combined with the opportunity to have guests stay for two nights, made the occasion even more magical.
Laura brought her amazing ideas and meticulous planning, working hand-in-hand with the venue's outstanding staff to deliver perfection in every aspect. From the beautiful decor to the exquisite service, everything surpassed our expectations.
If you're looking for the perfect collaboration between a wedding planner and a venue, Laura and Huntsham Court are the dream team. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting or a more dedicated team to work with.
A heartfelt thank you to Laura and the entire Huntsham Court staff for giving us the most incredible experience. We’ll cherish these memories forever!
Love you all!!!
