Kimberley Sent on 16/02/2023the best day of our lives
we had a summer wedding July 2022. we had a garden ceremony.
from the day of enquiry to the day of the wedding, the team were fantastic, nothing was a problem, they were so willing to arrange, or sort out everytging.
We originally booked during covid but dates were moved due to health reasons, the team were more than happy to assist
they are great for advice and guidance for recommendations of suppliers that are loyal to them and reasonably priced also.
they were especially kind to my father who is in a wheelchair paralysed, Lionel one of the management team made sure a member of staff was always on hand helping him, to make the day as stress free for both of my parents, from the day before when they arrived to the moment they left with their luggage.
Lionel also organised the party of 20+ guests (including children) staying the night before the wedding the marquee for us all to have our evening meal together next to the restaurant, which was so kind.
the groom and i got ready separately in different areas of the hotel. i had a bridal team of 10 as did he, the wivenhoe team, were there continuously helping assisting and asking if we needed anything,
i had a particular set up of my décor for my tables, sweet cart etc, and lisa the events manager knew exactly my style and had it done perfectly. she was there early before she was expected helping and organising going above and beyond what she was needed to do, to make our day perfect.
the food was amazing, we had cocktails, canapes, wedding breakfast and the evening buffet, everyone was impressed with the high standard of food and service. (especially the guests who had special dietary requirements, who were very well looked after and felt like VIP’s)
lisa was a rock to us she was always there wherever i needed her, and she made our day flawless and perfect!
the reception team, were a great help, we had 20 rooms booked in the end, and i was constantly emailing for adding more and having a spreadsheet of who has booked etc.
the management team and the staff are wonderful
if we could afford it we would do it all over again a heartbeat! Was the happiest day of our lives, never stopped smiling or laughing x

Nicole Sent on 16/11/2025Our perfect day!
Our wedding day was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The staff simply couldn’t do enough for us—every request was met with warmth, efficiency, and genuine care. Nothing was too much trouble, and their attention to detail made the whole day run like a well-oiled machine. Everything flowed seamlessly, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy every moment. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
The venue itself has beautiful top spec rooms, manicured gardens and a lake where we captured the most stunning golden hour shots.
We highly recommend wivenhoe house for your perfect wedding venue! -

Katie Sent on 16/10/2024Amazing hosts for our wedding
From the initial meeting through to the day of our wedding Louise and Phoebe were excellent.
Nothing was too much trouble.
In the day of the wedding they dressed the venue to the highest standard and were so attentive, even helping my daughter when her speech became so emotional.
I cannot rate them high enough.
Stunning venue with the highest level of service.
Price was reasonable with so many extras included saving the stress of sorting discos and catering.
1000% the best choice we made.
Thank you Wivenhoe house for making our dream wedding come true. -

Couldn’t be any better if they tried
The wedding couldn’t have gone anymore amazing thanks to the team at Wivenhoe house. We was meant to get married in 2020, then 2021 and finally managed 2022. This was with massive support from the team also. The day went so amazing as they all went above and beyond for us. -

Winter wedding
We got married nearly a year ago now 1/11/2019.
Wivenhoe house is truest beautiful and it I feel should be higher on people’s list for a wedding venue. The house is beautiful and I loved my wedding day. Katie was perfect as a planner and listened to us completely even my husbands idea of llamas!! Which we didn’t follow through with. The price was amazing for what we got included!!
The food was so great!! Especially the pudding and the evening buffet was the best I’d seen for the amount and selection. Would highly recommend the sliders. Overall I would give 10/10. -
