    Christmas wedding at the amazing south lodge!

    We got married at South lodge December 2023 and it did not disappoint!
    We had stayed at south lodge years ago for a special birthday and loved it, so when we were looking at venues we decided we had to take a look. I also looked at pictures of south lodge at Christmas as we had always liked the idea of a winter wedding and it looked incredible!
    We met the lovely Beky, who later became our wedding co-ordinator, and just pretty much fell in love with South Lodge and the team there who made us feel very special from day one.
    We met with Beky several times over the months and nothing was ever too much trouble and no request or question too ridiculous!! She had plenty of advice and suggestions too which I really, really appreciated. We did use some of their approved suppliers and they were fabulous and very experienced in working at South Lodge.
    All of this made it much less stressful and I felt very reassured.
    The events team as a whole are so so lovely and professional and just want you to have the best day and that really does show, Elizabeth, Amanda, Emily, Charlie, Sophie and the amazing Dan. They smile all day and work really hard!
    The day itself was amazing, everything went really well thanks to Beky and the team, words can't describe how much we enjoyed it and how much fun we had - I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat!!! Food was delicious, drinks flowed and all of our guests said what a fantastic day it was and what a great hotel South lodge is! Im so glad we got married here and would not hesitate to recommend South Lodge if you are thinking of getting married and if you want a winter wedding it looks incredible, roaring fires and Christmas trees everywhere! Thank you Beky and everyone at South Lodge you made it the best and more L&J xxx

    Best day of our lives

    I can honestly say that South Lodge exceeded all our expectations as a wedding venue. It provided the perfect backdrop for a love-filled celebration, and every detail was executed with precision and care. Our guests, especially those staying overnight and using the first class Spa facilities, couldn’t thank us enough for picking such a beautiful venue. Jamie and her team ensured we had a perfect day. If you're looking for a venue that combines natural beauty, exceptional service, and a touch of magic, South Lodge is the ideal choice for your special day.

    Fantastic Venue would highly recommend!

    Beky and her team are fantastic and nothing is too much trouble for them. We had people changing their meat for dinner on the day, and south lodge took everything in their stride. They organised our special day and helped us every step of the way. They made our day so perfect and we cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us on our wedding day and the lead up to our wedding.

    South Lodge's reply:

    Hey Jess and Tom, Thank you so so much for your lovely review, it means so much to us that you had the perfect wedding day and we were able to help it all come together for you!
    We really look forward to welcoming you both to South Lodge again soon, with warmest wishes, Beky and Weddings Team x

    Perfect wedding venue

    We had the most wonderful wedding day. We couldn’t have asked for anything more regarding any detail… it was perfect. Even the endless rain did not impact in the slightest.

    The team were just brilliant…. Everything ran seamless throughout the whole day and the food was amazing. The team that looked after us were amazing, nothing was too much trouble.
    We cannot fault anything at all and are so so happy that we chose to get married at south lodge.

    South Lodge's reply:

    Hi Kelly!
    Thank you so much for your lovely review. The team and Beky thoroughly enjoyed looking after you and we hope to welcome you back soon.

    Wishing you the happiest of futures together,

    Can your wedding be perfect?

    YES! Our day at South Lodge was absolutely perfect including all the time leading up to the big event. When I was reading the reviews about South Lodge I was sceptical as I could not believe that every single couple had a perfect experience there. But here I am, writing a 5 stars review. Our coordinator, Beky, was exceptional throughout and made us feel welcomed, respected and special. Even with me being sceptical at the start, she won us over and soon we felt at home. The attention to details and professionalism are next to none - they all definitely know what they are doing - the service, the décor, the personalised touches - it was all perfect. We enjoyed all the events before the wedding - the showcase, tasting event, vineyard tour as well as SPA days.
    The day itself couldn't be better - the staff were always one step ahead of us and we had nothing to worry about. All our friends and family had a fantastic time and said that this his how weddings should be done. We added some personal touches with our dog as a ring bearer, confetti cannons and sparklers - nothing was too much trouble. And the food? It was like eating at a Michelin star restaurant. We cannot express our gratitude enough and South Lodge will always be a special place for us. THANK YOU to all the team - you are wonderful!

    South Lodge's reply:

    Hi Agi and Adam,
    Thank you ever so much for your wonderful review! We loved working with you both, it was a delight to help you bring your dream day to life and help to make everything perfect for you and your guests! It means everything to us to know that you have come away with unforgeable moments and memories to cherish forever!
    We really look forward to seeing you again at South Lodge soon, All our best, Beky and The Weddings Team x

    exceptional wedding experience!

    From the moment we viewed the venue to cutting our cake, and then breakfast the following day, South Lodge's organisation was excellent! On the day we were made to feel so special and every detail was taken care of. The wedding breakfast was amazing and the service first class.

    The perfect day at an exceptional venue

    The team at South Lodge gave us and our wedding guests a day to remember. Nothing was too much trouble, including a very last minute catering change, and our experience from our initial visit to check out after our wedding was exceptional. On the day so much went on behind the scenes for a smooth, stress free day so as the bride I could fully relax. The team were professional and kind to us and all of our guests and the food was amazing - the best I've ever experienced at a wedding, echoed by our guests. The interior and grounds were the perfect backdrop for our photographs and it is so lovely to have beautiful outside space to relax in after the formalities are over. I can't thanks the team at South Lodge enough.

    A truly special day at a wonderful venue

    We had the most amazing wedding day at South Lodge. From start to finish, every single member of staff went out of their way to make sure that our day was truly special. Emma, Beky and the events team were really accommodating and flexible throughout the whole planning process and nothing was too much to ask. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and the Farriers suite was a beautiful place to spend our first night as a married couple. Our guests also made great use of the spa and loved staying at the hotel. Multiple guests commented that our food was the best wedding meal they’d ever had and the South Lodge team did a great job in helping us plan the perfect menu.

    South Lodge's reply:

    Hey Dom and Victoria, thank you for your wonderful review! It was our absolute pleasure to host your special day and we are so pleased that you have these beautiful memories to cherish! With best wishes, South Lodge Team.

    Incredible wedding

    Emma and Beky at South Lodge were amazing, from the original plan to the revised final event, they were responsive, kind and beyond helpful. They made it a very special day for us. The hotel is stunning, the food was amazing and the grounds made for some lovely pictures. All the guests had a great time and those that stayed had a fantastic breakfast. The spa is very nice too.

    South Lodge's reply:

    Dear Aaron and Michele,

    Thank you for taking the time to leave us your kind words about your special day. I am thrilled to hear the Emma and Beky assisted in the smooth operation that lead to one memorable event. I will be sure to pass on your feedback to them directly.

    We hope to welcome you back in the future, either for future stays or more special occasions.

    Very best wishes,

    Chiara Sorrentino

    What a magical experience

    Our wedding at South Lodge was a truly magical experience. The venue itself was breathtaking, with its picturesque gardens and elegant decor. The staff were incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and made to feel right at home.

    The ceremony was beautiful, with the perfect weather. The reception was equally as wonderful, with delicious food and drinks.

    It was clear that a lot of thought and care went into every detail of the wedding. The entire day was a reflection of our love and commitment to each other.

    Overall, our wedding at South Lodge was a truly unforgettable experience. Thanks to Jamie and the whole team!
