    Lovely venue with lots of history and character

    We had our wedding ceremony and wedding breakfast at Sopwell House. their small wedding package covers a great menu, wine and canape selection. Their event planning and staff on ground are all very friendly and helpful, going extra mile to help us with last minute touches in the table stationery and setup. we had a fabulous day and can't thank them enough.

    Amazing experience

    We love Sopwell house; so it was an easy choice to decide to get married there! Sam, the events manager so amazing! Super helpful, accommodating and responsive
    We did a dry hire; so that’s all I can say!

    Country wedding venue

    Sopwell House is a fantastic venue especially for an outside wedding. The grounds are well kept and they have a lovely ornate pond with a bridge over it which makes a fab backdrop for photos. The staff were all very friendly, welcoming and helpful from the check in desk to the dining experience. The events team are very professional and do everything possible to make your dream wedding day. They are very accommodating and are more than happy to spend time showing you round the grounds and venues in the lead up to your big day so that you are very familiar with everything. They hand over to the Operations Manager for your wedding day who ensures everything you want is ready for you and your outside suppliers. They can recommend suppliers too if needed. The venue lends itself really well to weddings and has a country, refined air to it though not far from London at all and accessed from main motorways. It was a truly special, magical day and we have wonderful memories.

    The perfect day!

    Sopwell house is the perfect luxury wedding venue. Fantastic food & drink, beautiful grounds, great service & a stunning hotel for guests to stay at and enjoy.

    Samantha was professional and helpful the entire process - from signing our contract to helping with suppliers and organisation. Bobby was also amazing. The day run so smoothly despite a very last minute handover and did everything in his power to make the day perfect. All our guests have commented on what a fantastic it was. The food and drink was great and all the staff were friendly.
    Thank you for a great day!

    A truly special day!!!

    Ellie and all of the team were fantastic from start to finish and made the planning process so easy and stress free, especially when we only had 10 weeks to plan the wedding. The food was the best wedding food we have ever tasted no one went away hungry! We truly had a very special day and this couldn't have been made possible without the great staff at the hotel.

    Great Wedding experience

    Sopwell House is a beautiful venue for a wedding. The grounds are stunning and look amazing in wedding photos. We got married in November (we were lucky with the weather) but even in autumn, the photos look great.
    All staff are lovely and are very helpful with any enquiries. Shout out to our wedding co-ordinator Samantha, we were planning our wedding during covid (which wasn't easy with all the uncertainty!) but she was very flexible and patient, always happy
    to help and handled any enquires asap.

    Event rooms are spacious - we used the Mount Batton suite for our ceremony and then the St Alban suite for our reception. The St Alban suite can be tailored to suit all sizes using partitions for smaller weddings. We had 120 people in total using all the event space - definitely plenty of room for tables, Dj & dance floor with room to spare.
    The food is amazing, lots of options for different tastes, even for fussy eaters there's lots of options/flexibility with choices.
    I think you typically get the bar area in the foyer dedicated to your event when you book the St Alban suite. This was a really nice area for canapés/for people to talk away from loud music. We also put our magic mirror photobooth, reception food spread, sweet table and guest books out here.

    Booking a room/bridal suite the night before is a great idea as you can use that room for the morning of. Rooms are spacious and beds are very comfy. They can bring breakfast to your room for the entire bridal party if ordered, which was really appreciated, as I don't think we would've eaten otherwise!

    Overall, we had the best day. There's always stresses leading up to the wedding, but on the day, none of that matters and everything came together so well. A massive thank you to everyone at Sopwell for making that possible!
    We'll be back for some cocktails soon.

    We had the perfect day

    We were so pleased with what Sopwell house had to offer. In the build up to our wedding we had planning meetings in person with a dedicated events planner who was brilliant. The room and grounds were beautiful, and the food was lovely. The day was so well organised and the team did a great job looking after us and our guests.

    Fell in love with the venue instantly

    We had never heard of Sopwell House before but we wanted to do fireworks and this venue came up in the Google search.

    We went for a viewing and fell in love with the venue instantly. The staff were so professional which assured us that this was the right venue for us.

    Shanine, Mandy, Tony, Danilo, Mattia & Luca were especially helpful even when I had last minute requests. They went over and beyond what they needed to do which resulted in our wedding being absolutely perfect.

    I would recommend Sopwell House as a wedding venue to anyone.

    Perfect Day

    Thank you so much for all of your help and advice during the many months of preparation for the Wedding, and also on the day.

    We all had a great time!

    We suspect that Sopwell House may well get some enquiries from some of our guests for weddings that are currently being planned.

    With best regards,

    Mr and Mrs Harris

    Thank you!

    I just wanted to say thank you for the beautiful wedding you organised, everything went perfectly and everyone was so pleased and happy (they’re still talking about it!).
    It was really the perfect day, perfect weather, food (one of the guests who had the vegetarian dish said that she would lick the plate if she could), buffet was lovely and almost all the cheese was gone by the end of the evening.

    Thanks again so much!!

    Annalisa and Cristopher
