A great experience!
The team at Lainston house were so attentive and helped us with every step of planning our wedding. Lydia was so responsive with any queries we had, and was so kind and helpful! The whole team including Emily made the day run so smoothly! The barn is a beautiful location and all of the grounds are beautiful are lovely to just wander round. We'd recommend it to anyone!Lainston House's reply:

August 2025 wedding
We got married in August 2025 and from start to finish the staff were incredibly helpful and professional, we had an amazing team work with us to cater for our weird and random requests. The day of the wedding ran seamlessly and the staff both blended in but also ensured there were so many special touches for us. Lydia, Emily, Nick and the team were brilliant and were honestly amazing throughout. We had an incredible day that ran smoothly from start to finish and we could not fault the venue or the staff at all. 100% would recommend.-

Wedding 12/08
The wedding planning with Sophie was easy and she answered and questions quickly. The star of Lainston House is Ben who was there on the day. Our wedding was in safe hands with Ben and he was loved by all the guests too. The venue speaks for itself! -

Autumn Wedding
The team at LH were incredible from start to finish. They were there to help every stay of the way and really made our day extra special. The staff are friendly and professional and couldn't do enough to help and were so invested in ensuring we had the perfect day. Their wedding manager, Sophie, was always quick to reply to our questions and queries and went above and beyond and although the wedding day may have come and gone, we can't wait to go back and visit the hotel and staff in the future. -

Exceptional top quality location
We wanted a magical wedding and Lainston House provided the setting and team to make that happen. Sophie and the team provide all the planning materials and elements to consider so you feel supported throughout your wedding planning experience. They are also very accommodating to your personal preferences and special wishes you may have. I cannot recommend Lainston House enough. -

Fantastic venue, excellent food, great service
Highly recommend Lainston House as a wedding venue: The setting is beautiful and can cater for varying group sizes. The food is excellent, with a good range of choice, and caters for dietary requirements. The service, both in terms of the planning and on the day was consistently fantastic: Flexible, friendly and well-organised -

My dream wedding!
From the initial viewing I knew this would be the place we’d host our wedding party.
Everything from the staff, the venue itself and even the weather was perfect!
The food is amazing, I’d highly recommend eating in the restaurant, the cocktails are great and the staff are fantastic.
Sophie was our go to person during planning and she and the team were great with answering our thousands of questions and keeping us updated.
On the day of our wedding we had Ben on hand to help, nothing was too much trouble and he looked after everyone. All of my guests were so impressed with all of the staff and how easy the day went off.
We had relative free rein over our decorations so it had taken us a long time to really nail down what we wanted. Seeing it all laid out brought tears to our eyes as we excitedly awaited everyone to see the table decorations.
The food, went a treat! Everyone commented on how great the quality was and how much they enjoyed it.
Everyone was also so great with our dog who was part of our wedding. He got snuck a snack or two and was throughly worn out by the end of the day. The rooms are a whole new level, very beautiful with fantastic views. Some of the rooms were also dog friendly which took a huge weight of our chest as well. There was a little welcome pack for him which was just so thoughtful.
Our guests enjoyed their rooms, they are very clean and have good amenities. Breakfast next morning was lovely with a great atmosphere.
Our day was overall fantastic and it really was a dream come true. My husband and I were so happy with everything. I would highly recommend the venue to anyone looking in Hampshire. It has such stunning grounds, it’s worth going even just to take in the views! -

The perfect day!
My stepdaughter and now son-in law chose Lainston House for their wedding day. What a fabulous choice they made! The Wedding Manager Sophie guided and advised them every step of the way, from the initial show-round, right up the the big day. Her help, professionalism and attention to detail was outstanding and very reassuring, especially as the happy couple live abroad.
The wedding day itself was wonderful and went without a hitch. The Dawley Barn looked absolutely stunning for both the ceremony and the wedding Breakfast. We were looked after by Louis, the Outlets Manager, and his wonderful team throughout - nothing was too much trouble - but every member of staff we encountered was genuinely warm and friendly. The food was outstanding and many of our guests commented that it was some of the best food they had ever eaten.
We can’t thank the team enough and thoroughly recommend Lainston House as a wedding venue - we couldn’t have chosen anywhere better! -
