    Perfection for something unique

    Honestly would 100% recommend if you are wanting a unique and magical wedding. It was so well organised and helped make our special day as stress free as possible. Absolutely perfect in every sense of the word.

    Perfect Wedding at Wookey Hole Caves

    We had the most perfect day from beginning to end at Wookey Hole. Right from the first contact with Stephanie, who is the Wedding planner, we were treated so well and with respect, even though we were only a small group. We had the opposite experience with some other venues. We had a Pagan Handfasting, so we had some different requirements from a normal wedding. This was no problem for the Wookey Hole team. They followed our instructions and made everything just perfect! Stephanie and the whole team are very professional and pay attention to detail. They were all so friendly and kind. We highly recommend Wookey Hole for a Wedding venue, it's a wonderful experience we will never forget. Thank you Stephanie and all the Team so much!

    Wonderfully, magically different!

    Having had to postpone our original plans for two years during the pandemic, we were looking for something truly different to reinvigorate our interest and passion in our wedding plans. In choosing Wookey Hole, we absolutely, utterly, completely found it!

    Lucy couldn’t have been more helpful in the lead up to the day itself. Always available for a chat, we were made to feel like nothing was too silly or trivial to ask. We felt supported when we needed it and reassurance was always given if required! When it comes to event planning, Lucy is second to none.

    The day itself went without the slightest of problems. If there were any hiccups behind the scenes, they must have been dealt with quickly and discreetly. Everything felt panic-free and we both felt not just looked after, but cherished. What an amazing team of people came together to make this happen.

    If you are after a wedding that provides entertainment, enjoyment and a bundle of unexpected surprises for your guests (in the best possible way!) Wookey Hole is the venue for you.

    Book a viewing. You’ll be so glad that you did!

    Thank you everyone at Wookey Hole. We’ll see you soon! Andy and Dan xx

    Wookey Hole Caves - a wedding you'll never forget.

    "That was one of the most beautiful and unique weddings I have ever been to"
    "That's the most fun I've ever had at a wedding"
    "As this was his first wedding, you've ruined weddings for my 2 year old, as he'll expect a soft play area at ALL the weddings we go to from now on"
    “I thought our wedding was amazing, but you’ve smashed it out of the park”
    "Best. Wedding. Ever"

    That was just some of the comments from our guests as the night drew to a close, and was typical of comments from all our guest both on the night and through social media postings in the days following.

    It started many months ago (22 for us) with an idea to get married at a unique venue, and after a visit to Wookey Hole, we looked no further. Not only does it give an opportunity to get married at a truly unique venue that had been in use by humans for at least 45,000 years, have a choice of function rooms for the breakfast and evening entertainment, have a fully stocked bar both the venue and at the hotel for use before/after the wedding, and have a large hotel and lodges all onsite that is big enough to accommodate all your guests, but it also has a working Victorian penny arcade, mirror maze, soft play area and crazy golf course all available for the wedding. Our guest were in fact having so much fun using these amenities, that it was almost difficult to get them to actually go to dinner (usually guests are desperate to get to the meal at a wedding!). They can even live stream the wedding ceremony, so we had a friend as far as Réunion watch it live.

    We were also able to give our guests a choice of food, and considering they were catering for close to 100 people with a myriad of allergies thrown in for good measure, the quality of the food was exceptional, and again, there were lots of compliments from our guests. All the staff, from checking in at the hotel onwards throughout the day, were friendly, polite and professional and couldn’t do more to help you.

    That’s only half the story though. Lucy, the Weddings and Events Manager at Wookey Hole, was simply invaluable. People often said to us that organising a wedding is one of the most stressful things they have done, however, for us it was, dare I say, easy! If we thought of something, Lucy already had a system in place, if we wanted to change something, Lucy was more than obliged, if we had suppliers with specific demands (i.e. the band), Lucy was on top of it. From the logistics, preparation, planning and costs, we were always in communication, kept up to date, and knew exactly where we were. Lucy came up with beautiful artwork for our table plan and programmes that incorporated our table themes, and the table centrepieces were absolutely beautiful. We actually had very little to do on the day before the wedding, other than lay out a couple of supplementary decoration on the tables!

    When you tell people you’re getting married in a cave, they can’t help but picture a dark, damp, claustrophobic space, but that simply wasn’t the case. The caves are naturally stunning anyway, but our wedding chamber (and you can chose from 3 different chambers to have the ceremony in) was beautifully illuminated with hundreds of tea lights and soft subtle coloured lighting, and we were even given the option of an acoustic guitarist, again, organised by the venue, who provided a beautiful ambiance – I think it’s safe to say that it’s a wedding everybody will remember for a long time to come! We actually feel sorry for the next person in our friendship group to get married, as with our wedding, the bar has been set almost impossibly high!

    Absolutely awesome

    Wow! Just wow! Every part of our wedding was perfect, from the way the candles in the cave were laid out to how fun the witch was while entertaining our guests. Our every wish was answered and no trouble was too much for Lucy and her team to work through. Our day was magical!

    We had an amazing wedding

    The Wookey Hole team are just amazing, the wedding planner looked after us every second of the time we've been there, and we stayed for 4 nights. Got everything we asked for and more. Perfect wedding planning, from start to finish. Thank you Lucy & Wookey Hole team

    Excellent venue, great staff

    Everything went really smoothly thanks to Lucy's organisation. The venue looked beautiful and we can't imagine having had our wedding anywhere better. All our guests had a great time, and many told us afterwards how great the staff were at the venue and also the hotel.

    A Magical Wedding at Wookey Hole - Perfect from Start to Finish!

    Thank you, Lucy and the Wookey Hole team, for making our big day absolutely magical.

    We could not have asked for a better experience - right from the initial enquiry and engagement with Lucy, it was clear that we were with the right venue and people. Prices were extremely competitive (especially given the unique nature of the venue!), flexibility with requirements was never an issue. Lucy maintained excellent contact in the lead-up to the event itself, always happy to help; this continued through and into the big day itself, where the staff went out of their way to give us prompt access to the Caves for our set-up needs.
    The reception in the Victorian penny arcade was superb, and the dinner was sublime - even though we went with the basic package, Wookey managed to make it feel like the premium option. The reception hall was brilliantly decorated, waiting staff were always on hand at the bar, and the food was impeccable.

    We highly recommend Lucy and the Wookey Hole venue - you shall be delighted by what they can offer!

    Wookey Hole Caves's reply:

    Hi Sam & Dean,

    Thank you for such a glowing review, the team and myself send our love and are so pleased you had such a magical day with us!

    We hope to see you both visit us again soon, and please come and say hello to me when you do!

    We all wish you many happy years together, and hope you and your new little terror fur baby settle down into blissful married life together.

    Lots of love,
    Lucy & The Wookey Team
