The Perfect Venue

We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding venue than Salomons Estate. From the beginning, the team made the whole planning feel so easy and stress-free.
A special thank you to our wedding co-ordinator, Hollie, who was absolutely amazing throughout the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself. Hollie was so helpful, organised and reassuring and make sure everything was taken care of so we could enjoy the day.
The grounds are so beautiful and were the perfect backdrop for our photographs. Everything ran so smoothly, the food and drinks were amazing and the whole day was so special.
Thank you to everyone at Salomons Estate, especially Hollie, for making our wedding so amazing. We couldn't recommend you more highly!

Lovely venue - spoiled by poor communication and accommodation.

So, first up - the venue is really lovely - particularly the outside areas and the science threatre, and the staff were, for the most, part, great.

However, there were a couple of fairly substantial issues, many of which came down to insufficient care and attention from the venue - particularly around a couple of specific details we had arranged. This was disappointing and while we got some refund afterwards the response afterwards was impersonal and felt like it had been written by AI.

Additionally, the accommodation is not great - the basic rooms are pretty institutional and the “garden cottages” don’t really live up to that description - they’re cramped and don’t have any gardens.

Best day of our lives!

Salomons absolutely came to the rescue after our original venue double booked us and we are so lucky as we couldn’t have asked for a better day! We had 11 weeks to go until our wedding and from the first person we spoke to getting us in the next day for a viewing, to Erin and all of the reception team and kitchen staff everyone we encountered was brilliant, made the whole day run smoothly and worked behind the scenes making everything beautiful so we could just relax and enjoy our day. Thank you so much to everyone at Salomons.

Heatwave wedding at Salomons

We are so grateful for everything the team at Salomons did for our wedding day in August 2026. It was utterly magical and Erin and her team were a huge part of ensuring that.

In the lead up to the wedding, Erin was so responsive and helpful and worked with us to support any last minute changes and decisions without ever making us feel like we were inconveniencing her. Due to the heatwave some rooms had to be closed and our wedding guests needed to be moved. The reception team led by Ophina were absolutely amazing, ensuring that everyone was comfortable and providing us with alternative rooms at no additional cost. On the day itself, owing to the heat, we moved our outdoor ceremony indoors (unheard of in the UK but needed due to elderly guests) and despite this last minute change the team enabled this seemlessly. I feel as though we had the ceremony we were always meant to in the beautiful Garden Room with it's wide open windows and bright light. Our reception in the stunning Theatre has remained a talking point in the weeks after the event!

Salomons was everything we wanted it to be and more. All of our guests said what an amazing venue they thought it was and how brilliant the staff were too. Thank you for going above and beyond for us all xx

The most special venue!

Salomons really is the most special wedding venue. We fell in love after our first viewing. Everything was amazing from the food and drink options, the ceremony and reception spaces and the continued support we received from the events team while wedding planning. No question was ever a bother. The day went so smoothly thanks to Hollie and the team. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and to ensure the day flowed smoothly. The food was also incredible on the day! Couldn’t recommend Salomons more if we tried.

Amazing wedding day

We had our wedding at Salomons Estate on 28 August 2026, and we honestly couldn’t have chosen a more beautiful venue for our special day.
From the moment we arrived, everything was absolutely perfect. The estate is stunning, and the grounds provided such a beautiful backdrop for our wedding photographs.
The team at Salomons Estate were fantastic through out the day. Everything was so well organised and ran smoothly, which meant we could relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding.
We’re so grateful to everyone at Salomons Estate for helping make 28th August 2026 a day we will never forget. It was everything we dreamed of and more, we would wholeheartedly recommend Salomons Estate to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue.

The best day of our lives!

It’s hard to put into words how we feel about Salomons. Not only is it an absolutely breathtaking venue visually, its staff are second to none.

We were mesmerised by the stunning grounds and gorgeous ceremony/reception rooms but what really drew us in was how welcoming the staff made us feel from the first meeting.

The communication was excellent, keeping us informed of when information and payments were required, which for a type A bride like me is exactly what I love to feel organised!

We were allocated Erin as our wedding coordinator and I cannot praise her enough. She made sure the day ran perfectly, was extremely attentive to my husband and I, and just took a weight off our shoulders throughout the day to ensure we enjoyed every moment.

In fact, a majority of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to and I have no doubt that the team at Salomons had a huge part to play in that. My husband and my family felt the Salomons team were the best team we have ever encountered as guests/clients.

We could not be more grateful to them and highly recommend them for a wedding venue. Thank you so much for making our special day unforgettable!

Wonderful Wedding celebration

For my wedding celebration, after exhausive searches we chose Salomons and I can’t recommend Salomons highly enough !! From beginning to end , everyone had gone the extra mile to make sure all ran smoothly The team worked hard to make sure everything ran like a well oiled machine. The terrace, the park, the gold room all ideal and the children have lots of space to play in and run. Buffet and all of the food was excellent. An advantage is that all the family and friends could stay in cottages on site 👍

Perfect venue and staff!

We are so happy with our wedding at Salomons. Erin was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble for her. She ensured that everything went smoothly and was very flexible when things changed.
The venue was gorgeous, as was the food. It was great having guest rooms on site too, since many of our guests came from far away.
We have absolutely no complaints! It was an amazing day from start to finish.

A Perfect Day at a Truly Beautiful Venue

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate our love than at Salomons Estate. From the very beginning of the planning process, Erin, the wedding coordinator provided by Salomons, and the entire team were incredibly accommodating, supportive, and professional. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and their experience really showed in how smoothly everything ran on the day itself.

The location is absolutely beautiful. We were lucky enough to have our wedding outdoors, and the stunning views across the grounds created the most perfect backdrop for our ceremony. Salomons Estate is a truly lovely venue, full of charm and character, and it made our day feel extra special.

The food also deserves a special mention, it was delicious and generously portioned, with many of our guests commenting on both the taste and the quality throughout the day. It was so reassuring to hear such positive feedback from friends and family.

Overall, everyone had a wonderful day, and we felt completely looked after from start to finish. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Salomons Estate and their fantastic staff to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with a dedicated and caring team.

Most amazing day of our lives

We had our magical day in June this year, from the moment of our first enquiry/ show around and our big day Salomons have been nothing more than amazing. Nothing was ever to much trouble, with all of our constant emails and questions we never felt like anything was to much trouble. The service on that day was amazing, all of our quests couldn’t believe what an amazing venue is was, the food was incredible and the service on the day from the staff was amazing, everyone was so friendly and professional. The accommodation was brilliant and an amazing breakfast the next morning. This venue has everything you could possibly need and want for your big day. 4 months before the wedding we was given our wedding coordinator Leah, we cannot thank Leah more for everything she done for us, everything ran so smoothly and exactly how we wanted if not better. We really cannot recommend Leah enough, she is so thoughtful, hardworking and just overall lovely and an absolute credit to Salomons estate

Perfect in every way

Dear Events Team,
I don't really know where to start - other than to thankyou SO much to Leah and the whole events team for being the most amazing wedding venue & events team we could ask for.

Everything about our day was perfect from start to finish, and even before hand. The team were constantly fast to respond to any queries or questions I had. The team made themselves available for meetings if needed, and never judged me for my OTT wedding planning documents!!

Leah crafted our day perfect, and made our dream day come to life. All members of staff were fantastic, professional, efficient, we cannot thankyou all enough.

Thankyou for the fantastic accommodation both the night before and night of the wedding.

The food, oh my god the food, I had compliments from nearly every guest on all of the food. The canapes, the wedding breakfast, the evening snacks - INCREDIBLE. some of the best food I've ever had in my life.

And guests also commented on how lovely the bar staff were also both in the day and evening.

And a VERY big thankyou to how supportive and relaxed Leah was throughout the day - never felt like any task was too big or too much of an ask, her foresight when things were running early, and making changes to our schedule effortlessly so things still ran smoothly like bringing dinner forward, helping discuss with our photographer changes to the timeline so we could get the perfect wedding photos, AMAZING, absolutely amazing from start to finish - we could not have asked for a more perfect co-ordinator than Leah.

I can't quite put into words how forever grateful we will be, we couldn't have had our dream day without you all.
Take Care,
Mr & Mrs Davies xx

New Years Eve Wedding

The venue is absolutely stunning which our guests also commented on, from the impressive driveway entrance to the beautiful decor inside. We had our ceremony in the Gold Room which had so much detail we did not need to decorate too much further. We then moved through to the Drawing Room for our Wedding Breakfast and Evening Reception. This was the perfect size for our wedding and we were able to decorate the whole area (including the bar and lounge area) creating an inviting atmosphere. The staff are absolutely amazing, from the initial enquiry to the planning to the actual day. The Events team were always on hand to answer any questions or emails and the bar staff on the day were so polite and professional. Even after the wedding, the following day, the staff were still happy and helpful. The food is amazing and so tasty, it was served quickly and hot , allergies were very easily accommodated and the prosecco was lovely. There was nothing that was too much trouble and our Wedding Planner Leah could not do enough to make sure everything went well.

Best Day of my Life

I am so happy my (now) husband and I decided to have our wedding here! Everything about our big day was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we looked at this venue, I know it was everything we wanted.

Our day of coordinator, Leah, was absolutely lovely. Not only is she attentive, but she is kind, thoughtful, and incredibly detail-oriented, making every part of the process seamless and stress-free. I can’t be more grateful to have had her by my side.

The venue decorated for the holidays just days before our wedding, providing us with beautiful added decor and magic! My friends and family love the many rooms and areas to explore, including the museum, gardens, bar, terrace, etc.

We opted for afternoon tea for our wedding breakfast and pizza for late night bites and our guests absolutely loved it! They offered options for our friends with gf, veggie, etc dietary requirements, and people raved about their meals! They have options for everyone.

Between the beautiful venue, genuinely lovely staff, and delicious food and drink, I cannot be more grateful to Leah and everyone at Salomons. I got to live out my fairytale dream wedding here, and I am so excited for every couple who chooses to do the same. You will have the best day of your lives.
