    Steph & Kai’s wedding

    We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding! From start to finish, everything was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t be happier with how our special day turned out. The venue was beautiful, the atmosphere was perfect, and everything was everything we had dreamed of and more.

    A huge thank you to the entire team for all their help, support and hard work in making our wedding day so special. You helped create memories that we will cherish forever, and we are so grateful for everything you did for us. Lisa and the team accommodated our every request and were extremely flexible. Nothing was too big or too small and honestly more than we could have dreamed of. Communication was easy and every detail was beautiful.

    We would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for their perfect wedding location. Thank you for being part of the most special day of our lives! ❤️🥂💍

    The most perfect place for our wedding

    We booked Wivenhoe House 9 months before our wedding, and from start to finish it was just so well organised, Louise was brilliant. We knew we were in safe hands. We were made to feel that nothing was too much effort, and whatever we wanted they would try their upmost to accommodate. On the day, all of the staff were so lovely and attentive. They made our day really special, and were on hand all of the time. Sam, Paula and Louise were amazing.

    The brilliance of it all is that although Wivenhoe staff cater for weddings every single week, they were 100% focussed on us and our day, as if it was the wedding of the year.

    Amazing wedding at Wivenhoe House, thank you!


    Our wedding at Wivenhoe House Hotel was more amazing than we could have ever hoped for. Louise, the sales manager, was absolutely incredible - she answered all of our questions promptly and provided guidance and flexibility to ensure we had the most perfect day. The house and grounds are gorgeous and well maintained, providing an amazing backdrop for our wedding photos. The food was enjoyed by all of our guests, meeting all dietary requirements and special requests without hesitation. Everyone was so friendly and polite when sorting drinks and serving food, contributing to the welcoming atmosphere. The bridal suite was beautiful - amazing bath and shower, and a great breakfast with lots of options! As someone who has never been married before, we were unsure of the order of the day! Thankfully, the team at Wivenhoe House were so helpful in talking us through each part of the day and ensuring everything ran smoothly, and we’re so grateful we didn’t have any stress. Paula, Samm and Millie were incredible, ensuring the day ran to schedule at every point and keeping us updated of the timings; we can’t thank them enough for helping set up and arrange everything too!
    We would definitely recommend Wivenhoe House for an amazing wedding, everything went to plan and the beautiful house and grounds made the day so special. Thank you for everyone at Wivenhoe House Hotel!

    The Perfect Day!

    First of all we want to start the review by saying a big thank you to the whole Wivenhoe House team for their efforts and support throughout the process. They helped us through all of the planning and provided us with helpful resources to assist where necessary.

    We had previously been to a wedding at Wivenhoe House and thought the guest experience was great. When we started looking for venues, we looked into quite a few around the Colchester and North Essex area but was drawn back to Wivenhoe House by its beauty and welcoming team. Some of the other venues we looked at did not have good communication when we enquired or a clear pricing structure, all of which Wivenhoe House had. From the get go, they made us feel at ease and like they had it all under control, and that really showed through on the day.

    A key piece of criteria for the venue was that it needed to have a lot of spaces for guests to stay. We had a lot of guests travelling from far and wide who kindly joined us on our special day. It was important to us that all of the guests could stay at the hotel and the team were great at organising the logistics for everyone. The rooms were great and everyone enjoyed the breakfast.

    Food throughout our wedding day was all incredible, we opted for the BBQ wedding breakfast as our wedding was in the middle of summer and everyone was saying how great it was. The same was said for the evening food as well. The team also kept a plate of canapés back for us while we were taking photos so we didn’t miss out.

    For the package itself, we felt this provided very good value, it came with a selection of rooms (we needed extra and they kindly at the same rate) and use of the bridal suite the night before and of the wedding, it also had the DJ included which was one less thing for us to source and all the basic things you need for a wedding (tables, chairs, cutlery, etc).

    The DJ, albeit included in our package, is a separate events company called Celebrations, run by a husband and wife team, Dave & Angela, we ended up meeting them a number of times throughout our wedding journey at various wedding shows at Wivenhoe House and they were very friendly and had other services you could add on such as a Photo Booth, voicemail phone, light up letters etc, which we paid extra for and were great.

    We can’t thank the team enough for the absolutely perfect day.

    Such a lovely venue with the most amazing staff

    Had such a brilliant time here at Wivenhoe House for my mum and stepdad’s wedding. Everything was so well organised from start to finish, and the staff especially pheobe went above and beyond to make the day special. The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful grounds and elegant rooms that created the perfect setting for the celebration. The food was excellent, the service was faultless, and every detail was taken care of seamlessly. It was a truly memorable day, and I would highly recommend Wivenhoe House to anyone looking for a fantastic wedding venue. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Absolutely fabulous!

    Everything was perfect from beginning to end. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding. The staff was incredibly attentive, professional, and well-organized, making sure that every detail was exactly as we wanted.

    The service was outstanding, the food was delicious, and the venue itself was absolutely stunning—such a beautiful and romantic place. From the first planning stages until the very last minute of the celebration, everything went smoothly and exactly according to our wishes.

    A special thank you to Phoebe and her amazing team. They were truly exceptional and made our day unforgettable. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a perfect wedding experience. Every penny was worth it!

    Amazing Phoebe!

    Phoebe was amazing and so helpful in organising our wedding. We had lots of last minute changes including changing the whole venue of the wedding and she accommodated us without hesitation. She was warm friendly and efficient and the venue was lovely and met all our needs and more. Could not be happier with how it went, thank you so much!!

    Wivenhoe House's reply:

    Thank you so much Jane & Ryan for your kind words, we wish you all the best in your married life together.
