    H&K wedding

    The Sopwell House team were incredible at accommodating all of our requests and calming our nerves during the wedding planning. Massive shout to Chloe, Joanna and the rest of the Sopwell House team for ensuring everything was going as planned before the festivities and during as well. We had the best day of our lives whilst celebrating our wedding and we would highly recommend Sopwell for anyone's special day!

    Our wedding

    We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful venue to celebrate our wedding. The grounds are stunning, the spa is incredible, and Sopwell House will always hold such a special place in our hearts. We already can’t wait to return soon and honestly could not fault it at all. Although we dry hired the venue and organised the majority of the wedding through our own external suppliers, your support throughout the process really meant so much to us. From the very first time we met you during our showaround when choosing our venue, you were so warm, helpful and reassuring. You truly went above and beyond throughout the entire process, helping bring everything together and liaising with our suppliers, which made everything feel so much smoother and calmer for us. You were always so patient, kind and lovely to work with, and we really appreciated all of your support and guidance along the way.

    We also wanted to mention Emilia, who was absolutely fantastic throughout the hotel room booking process. She was incredibly patient, calm and helpful with both us and our guests, especially when dealing with various challenges and requests along the way. She also went above and beyond for us and our guests, and was always so lovely to work with. We’re so grateful for all of her help and support.

    We hope to return for our one year anniversary and are sure we will see you before that as we have an afternoon tea voucher to use that expires that the end of the year!

    Thank you again to you, Emilia and the whole Sopwell House team for helping create such special memories for us and our guests.

    The best day of our lives

    Myself and my now husband had our wedding reception at Sopwell back in September, we can't fault them. Everything was handled with such care and thought, it put our minds at ease. We had a number of guests with allergies and they were extremely accommodating. The champagne and the food was top notch and all the staff were so friendly.
    I want to especially give a shout out to Grace who was extremely helpful and made the whole planning process so much fun. We miss working with her on planning our perfect day! We can't thank her enough.

    Perfect venue for a wedding

    We had our spring wedding at Sopwell House and couldn’t have asked for a better venue. The St Albans Suite and gardens are beautiful and elegant, but what really made the difference was the amazing team behind it.

    Our coordinator Chloe was exceptional throughout — calm, professional, responsive and genuinely caring. On the day itself, everything ran seamlessly, the suite looked stunning, and the food and atmosphere were wonderful. Our suppliers also remarked on how accessible and organised the team was, and the set-up was exactly as we’d hoped.

    We had brief showers during the reception, but the foyer provided the perfect back-up space. Having accommodation on site for guests was also hugely appreciated.

    The dancefloor layout created an amazing atmosphere in the evening, and the team also set up a thoughtful quiet room next door with soft seating, a screen and games for children or anyone needing a break. We’re so grateful to the entire Sopwell House team and would recommend them wholeheartedly.

    Fantastic wedding venue!

    Sopwell House is an amazing venue for a wedding. It’s recently had a refurbishment and looks fantastic both inside and out.

    The staff were very helpful, professional, friendly and clearly experienced with organising and running events. Our event planner, operations manager and all supporting staff were brilliant.

    The food was delicious and so many of our guests said it’s the best wedding food they’ve ever had.

    As a wedding venue for Hertfordshire, with the quality of service, food and inclusion of accommodation, Sopwell House is very good value for money.

    We couldn’t recommend Sopwell House enough! They made our wedding day really special and we’re forever grateful.

    The best wedding venue

    Chloe was so so helpful from the minute we booked our wedding! Any requests that we had they were fulfilled. Communication was amazing and any questions were answered within 24 hours. Sopwell was amazing for organisation, every detail mattered to make sure the day was perfect even creating a floor plan to make sure everything is where we wanted it. Any spare money we had from our package could be used on anything we wanted from food, to canapes to drinks there was no pressure on what to use it on. We had the most perfect day and wish we could relive it all over again!

    Sopwell House Wedding 31st July 2025

    We had our wedding reception at Sopwell House and seeing it on the day for the first time was a surreal feeling. After a year of planning, setting the theme and finalising the little details, our dream became a reality!

    None of this was possible without our event coordinator, Fion Bamford. She was attentive, supportive, friendly and guided us throughout the whole planning process with patience and excellence. She is the best at what she does!

    Having our wedding at Sopwell House was a dream come true. The venue is immaculate, with each detail so perfect. The gardens are beautiful - filled with flowers and furniture. The rooms were comfortable, especially the Bridal Suite, which we didn’t want to leave - it was my dream bedroom!

    Sopwell House was the perfect choice and we knew that from the first time we visited. The staff are so friendly, welcoming and can answer all your questions, even on the day of your wedding!

    Thank you Sopwell House for making our wedding truly unforgettable!

    Perfect wedding venue

    We have had the pleasure of marrying both of our daughters at Sopwell House and can firmly recommend it.
    As well as being a beautiful venue, the team in place were there for us the whole way through to help the process go as smoothly as possible, and we can honestly say that for both weddings it was great working with this venue and everything we could have hoped for from the venue came through.

    The BEST day - highly recommend!

    We cannot recommend Sopwell House highly enough!

    Planning a wedding can be so stressful but Chloe in the Events team was wonderful from the initial enquiry right up until the day itself. She was extremely friendly, always on hand for a chat and to answer any questions, and extremely professional throughout. A real joy to communicate with! She made the process so seamless for us and was incredibly organised. We cannot thank her enough.

    The team on the day itself were equally as wonderful. They were so attentive and helpful and was always on hand for anything we needed. All our guests were complimenting how beautiful the venue was, how delicious the food was and how incredible the service was.

    We really had the perfect day and cannot fault Sopwell House at all.

    We highly recommend booking your special day here - you won't regret it!
