    Beautiful venue who went above and beyond

    From the first meeting to our wedding day the staff at Kelham couldn’t have been more helpful. No matter what the question or query they always did their best to answer or sort. Our wedding was on a hot May bank holiday and even in very hot weather the staff couldn’t be more helpful and looked after us and all our guests. The food was phenomenal and the venue is absolutely stunning. Natalie was out on the day coordinator and went above and beyond for us as did the bar manager in the evening!
    We would recommend Kelham to anyone, you won’t regret it.

    May 2026 wedding

    The venue was perfect and we had so many compliments about the venue and the staff. Food was incredible and nothing was too much to ask of the team. Our wedding coordinator Olivia was incredible. Genuinely can't find a single thing that wasn't perfect.

    The most beautiful wedding venue

    When we began the wedding planning process, we looked around multiple venues and can safely say, we knew we had found our dream venue the moment we arrived at Kelham.

    Set in the most stunning of grounds, Kelham’s beautiful building offers a timeless and classic venue but still encompasses modern interior designs. We fell in love with the beautiful ceremony and reception room and could instantly see ourselves getting married here.

    The fact that Kelham also has 2 bars and 2 extra rooms to use before, during and after the wedding too is just such an extra bonus.

    The team at Kelham are amazing. Natalie ensured or day ran smoothly from the beginning of the wedding organisation process to our first dance.

    To anyone who is contemplating getting married at Kelham, do it! We could not recommend it highly enough!

    Our Beautiful Day!

    05-04-2026 was the day of our beautiful wedding. Claire is wonderful, her help leading up to the wedding was perfect. On the day, we got so much support, we didn't need to worry about anything, except just getting married. The whole experience has been amazing from start to finish, and I would highly recommend Kelham to anyone looking for a venue.

    Kelham House – A Brilliant Venue with Amazing Staff

    We just wanted to start by saying a huge thank you to everyone at Kelham House. We first visited in July last year and instantly fell in love. Claire made us feel so welcome during our initial tour, and from that moment, we knew it was the perfect venue—especially the beautiful outdoor areas.

    Our wedding coordinator, Olivia, was absolutely fantastic. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her. She truly understood our vision and brought our dream day to life. From the smallest details to ensuring everything ran smoothly, she allowed us to relax and fully enjoy every moment of our wedding.

    A big thank you as well to Head Chef Jitka and the entire kitchen team. The food was incredible—so many of our guests commented on both the quality and generous portions. The wedding breakfast service was flawless and perfectly organised.

    We’d also like to mention Connor, the night porter, who kindly gathered and secured all of our belongings and decorations overnight, making everything so easy for us the following morning.

    Every single member of the team at Kelham House has been amazing. You truly made our day unforgettable, and this place will always hold a special place in our hearts.

    Best wishes,
    Mrs & Mrs Spillane x

    Nigel's and Jean's wedding

    Due to the professional organisation from day one after we booked our special day everything on the day went without a single hitch. Natalie's help with the planning from the menus, help and advice with regards to the Ceremony, wedding breakfast and the evening reception. All the guests made complimentary comments with regards to the wedding breakfast and the evening food, which was excellent.
