Amber Sent on 24/09/2026Everything we needed and more
My wife and I were married here in September 2026. Her family being American, mine English, and our friends in London we needed somewhere that was: close to major airports, accessible by train, good parking, large enough to accommodate 100+ guests. The house and grounds were perfect for us for two days worth of events, with a selection of indoor and outdoor venues. The staff and operations teams couldn’t have been more accommodating to make our day perfect. Truly we feel we got a bargain for the experience that was delivered, since Wotton came in fully half the budget of our next nearest favourite venue. The venue is steeped in history, is comfortable, the food is impeccable and the team behind it truly invested in making our day the best possible. We look forward to many anniversary stays at the hotelWotton House's reply:

August Wedding at Wotton House
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate our wedding. Wotton House was absolutely beautiful, with stunning grounds, gorgeous setting (so many guest compliments) and everything we could have wanted for such an important day (the weather helped too)! From the moment we started planning to the wedding itself, the team were incredibly helpful and made the whole experience feel smooth.
A very special thank you to Lydia, our wedding coordinator, who was fantastic throughout. Having someone we could trust throughout the planning process made such a difference.
Our wedding day was genuinely everything we dreamed of, and Wotton House will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We’re so grateful to the whole team for helping us create memories that we’ll cherish forever!

The Perfect Wedding Venue
We had our wedding at Wotton House and honestly couldn’t have picked a better venue.
The grounds are one of the most beautiful we’ve seen, and our guests were so impressed with them too. The Old Library was beautiful and classic, and the Italian Gardens were the perfect backdrop for photos. We had so many options for photos around the grounds. A few of our guests even told us afterwards that it was one of the best weddings they’d been to, which was so lovely to hear!
One of the biggest things for us was how smoothly everything ran. We wanted a stress-free wedding and Wotton House really delivered on that. We dropped off all our reception bits the night before and they had a storeroom available for us. The staff then set everything up for us, and somehow they knew where everything went despite us not even giving them proper instructions!
We also needed fairy lights installed for the reception, and instead of us having to chase this ourselves, the venue contacted our florist directly and sorted it between them. It was little things like this that meant we didn’t have to worry about the set-up and could just enjoy the day.
A special mention to Lydia, who supported us in the couple of months leading up to the wedding. She was always really helpful and quick to answer any questions we had. Our toastmaster was also brilliant and helped make everything run even more seamlessly on the day.
The food and drinks were great too, and our guests were very happy with everything.
If you’re looking for a beautiful venue and, more importantly, a wedding where you can actually relax and enjoy the day without constantly worrying about what needs to be done, I’d definitely recommend Wotton House. All the staff were so supportive and we’re really glad we chose it for our wedding.

Wedding Review
A truly joyful celebration!!
The wedding was everything you want in a day —warm, dry and sunny, elegant, and full of genuine emotions. Our wedding was held in June 2026 at Wotton House, Dorking -https://wottonhouse.co.uk/. A truly stunning venue. From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming as we engaged MagicBubblelloons to personalise our welcome sign and Mr and Mrs neon sign. All our planning had been executed by the services we engaged and the Wotton House Wedding Coordinator thoughtfully planned, setting the tone for a ceremony and reception that were both beautiful and deeply personal. We had face to face and virtual meetings with the Wotton House Coordinator so that she could get to know us and our preferences to make our day so special to us. We also did the food tasting event so our food choices for the wedding breakfast was just perfect.
Our ceremony was heartfelt and seamless which carried a calm, meaningful energy. Our vows were especially moving, as our ceremony was held in the Old Library bringing a real sense of closeness to the room, with fresh flowers and petals laid down the aisle by Elaine's flowers, Dorking. Every detail—whether it was the flow of the day, the music, or the overall staging—came together smoothly, allowing guests to fully enjoy the moment.
The decor and overall styling created a cohesive look that felt both tasteful and memorable. We ordered extra up lighting, with personalised table setups, and thoughtful touches added to the “special occasion” feeling in a way that enhanced it. The food was a highlight, with flavors that pleased a wide range of tastes. Service was attentive and organised, and it was clear the hosts had planned the day with care. Guests felt taken care of from start to finish. An unforgettable day, what stood out most wasn’t just the aesthetic or the schedule—it was the feeling. The celebration reflected our personalities and the love surrounding us, all helped by the staff at Wotton house and the services provided.
We organised for secret Sing Out singers to come and deliver their wonderful voices and charm to our entire wedding group of 70. Everyone was up dancing around the wedding breakfast room. Truly memorable and a fantastic highlight. They had secretly recorded us throughout the day and this was shared with us on Instagam.
The cake was an artistic design and individualised creation by Lisa Boughton. We had cake tasting in advance of choosing our cake flavours and the cake was based on my wedding dress lace a truly unique cake design. Lisa delivered on our wishes and our cake was 5 tiers high. Lisa also designed selective cakes for our sweet table.
We had a magician (Robert Fox – Wedding Magician & Mind Reader) who worked the entire room and gave some astonishing tricks to a lot of our guests. The magic was with cards and the use of phones giving it a modern twist. The magic was truly magical. Even now our family and friends comment on the magician!
We had a live band for the reception which had the perfect balance of celebration and comfort. . We had a four piece band and they played soulful, jazz, funk music which we choose from a playlist. Once the dancing began, the energy stayed high, with guests truly enjoying themselves throughout. Our guests danced the night away until the end!!We booked the band through Live Entertainment – Grooveoperatorband.com. We ordered an evening buffet which was of an excellent standard and good range of menu choices.
We owe so much to our wonderful photographer, Harriet Buckingham. Her ability to capture the emotion, energy, and magic of both the day and night means we’ll treasure these memories forever. http://www.buckinghamphotography.co.uk. We were sent a link to our photos so that we could save them forever.

My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding at Wotton House, and it truly exceeded all our expectations.
The grounds are absolutely beautiful and provided the most stunning setting for our special day. We were fortunate enough to get married in the Italian Gardens, which were simply breathtaking and created the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and photographs. From the moment we began planning through to the day itself, Vickey, our wedding coordinator, was exceptional. She was attentive, supportive, and always available to help, ensuring everything ran smoothly and allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment.
The food was brilliant and received so many compliments from our guests. Every course was beautifully presented and of an excellent standard. The Master of Ceremonies provided by Wotton House was also fabulous, helping the day flow seamlessly and making sure everything stayed on track without ever feeling rushed.
The accommodation was another huge positive. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed, with plenty of capacity for our family and friends to stay and fully enjoy the celebrations together.
Wotton House gave us the perfect setting for our wedding and created memories that will last a lifetime. A huge thank you to Vickey and the entire team for their hard work, professionalism, and care. We would wholeheartedly recommend Wotton House to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with outstanding service, fantastic food, and excellent guest accommodation.

Katie Sent on 25/08/2026Fabulous Wedding Day
We had a lovely wedding day at Wotton House in June and will always look back on it fondly. Our coordinator Lydia was brilliant from start to finish. She was very prompt answering all of our questions and made sure all the planning went smoothly.
Many guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and it was set up so perfectly on the day. The staff constantly engaged with us to make sure everything in the reception room looked exactly as we wanted it.
Everything ran smoothly and all the food was very tasty. All different dietary requirements were easily catered for and we couldn't have asked for anything better. One of the young guests slept through the wedding breakfast and this was sorted promptly by the staff when she woke up very hungry!
When we originally looked at Wotton House we felt it might be too far from the church we were looking at so wouldn't be viable, but we're so glad we changed our plans as we couldn't have asked for anything better. We would recommend the venue to others as it was wonderful and we felt well cared for. Just bring lots of fans if you're getting married in summer as the bedrooms our hot!
