Once upon a time, Salt House was Standon Hall—a grand Grade II-listed manor house with a rich history. (And yes, we still hold that title!) But we saw something more—a place where rules are rewritten, traditions are reimagined, and love stories unfold in bold, brilliant, and unexpected ways.

So ready to ditch the cookie-cutter weddings? Salt House is where epic vibes meet unapologetic style. Think historic charm, bold design, and photo ops so good they might just break the internet (well, almost).

Salt House is a historic venue with a rebellious streak—designed for couples who dare to do things differently. With its jaw-dropping architecture, quirky details, and exclusive-use policy, your wedding won’t just be an event. It’ll be an experience.

Say "I do" in a venue that’s anything but ordinary. Our spaces are licensed for up to 80 guests for your ceremony, striking the perfect balance between intimate and lively. Every inch of Salt House is designed for unforgettable moments, from the grand entrance hall to eclectic corners bursting with personality.

What Sets Us Apart?

Perfection

Standon Hall is an absolutely stunning venue. A perfect match of traditional, local history, with quirky modern finishes. It was the perfect match of Dan and I. We moved into Standon Hall for the weekend of our wedding, Friday until Sunday, which enabled us the full wedding build up and excitement. Felicity, Leah and Rhys were always on hand for the personal touches. The games room also really added a layer of excitement on the wedding eve. All of the bedrooms are stunning, breathtaking and simply unique; all finished to luxury standards. Standon Hall was simply the best venue for us! Thank you #teamStandon

Dream wedding venue!

Standon hall was everything I could have dreamt for in a wedding venue. It was the grand stately home style that I wanted with that perfect modern twist. The staff were wonderful from start to finish and the venue is breath taking. The most stand out parts of the venue for me (other than the obvious ones) was the grooms room to allow my husband to be to get ready at the venue and the children’s play room which allowed our daughter and the rest of the child guests to stay entertained throughout the day. The overnight rooms are stunning and fully equipped with everything that you could need. I can’t thank the team enough and to Joanne for arranging the most beautiful flower displays for us! Many thanks again everyone - Jenny and Sam

The most amazing wedding venue

Me and my new wife got married at Standon Hall on the weekend and what a dream this was for us. The venue has everything you need to truly make your dreams a reality, from the beautiful gardens to the vast amount of lovely rooms which give you a very spacious and luxury experience. The staff on site are amazing, very responsive, attention to detail and there every step of the way when you need them to answer questions or make sure everything goes to plan on the day. Thank you Lauren and Brandon

We had a gorgeous wedding day at Standon Hall. The venue is so impressive and was the perfect choice for us. Felicity and Lea were amazing and were great keeping in touch with us but prior to this we did struggle to get in touch with the venue for a couple of months I presume before felicity and Leah took over. Our day was perfect thank you so much!

Amazing Venue

We looked around this venue shortly after getting engaged and it wasn’t open for business yet as it was still being created.
We knew pretty much straight away it was perfect for us. Carla was friendly and informative from the get go!

Fast forward a few months and we got to see the completed venue and what a venue it is! Beautiful inside and out! The perfect combination of classic and modern.. we knew we had made the right decision.

Carla, Hayley and Rhys ensured everything was in hand for us until we left the day after we got married. The day ran smoothly and they were always on hand with anything we needed.
We had the most perfect day and we really can’t thank you guys enough!

Highly recommend venue - we have memories we will remember forever x

Incredible Venue!

We had the most wonderful wedding day at Standon Hall in April 2022. The venue is just incredible and really has a wow factor that can’t fail to impress your guests. The Standon team were amazing throughout, always on hand and you never feel like anything is too much trouble. We had the perfect day at Standon, we couldn’t recommend it enough!

Fantastic modern venue

Standon Hall, what can I say!!

We booked Standon Hall as our wedding venue in July 2021 for our big day in April 2022. Leaving only 9months to plan our big day and with a venue that wasn’t quite finished or even open yet!
We were kept up to date at all times and allowed to visit whenever we wanted to see the progress and this was a fantastic journey to be apart of!

All of the staff at Standon were fabulous from start to finish and were so accommodating. One massive bonus is the venue is dog friendly so our dog was able to be part of my special day.

Everyone who attended our wedding said how amazing the venue was and it was a real hit with our suppliers too! Everyone, us included, wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Standon Hall to anyone!

Thank you so much for our perfect special day!

A beautiful venue.

We got married on the 26th March 2022 and it was the most amazing day we could of ever imagined.
The venue is absolutely STUNNING, stylish and classy!! We couldn’t recommend it more!
We would recommend Standon Hall to anyone getting married. The amount of work that has gone into the venue is phenomenal and we couldn’t thank the staff more for everything they have done.
We wish we could relive our day over and over again it was so perfect.
Thankyou so much.

An absolute dream!!!

We got married in March 2022 at Standon Hall and we loved every single moment! From the very beginning Carla and the team were an absolute dream to work with, they were so attentive, always willing to go the extra mile and just the loveliest people! They made us feel so special and nothing was too much! The hall and the grounds were breathtaking! All of our guests thought it was the most magical place and we had the most perfect day, with the Standon Hall team there every step of the way! My husband and I could not be happier with the experience of working with Standon Hall and Carla in particular and would happily recommend them to any couples looking to have the most spectacular day!

Meet Alex, our Dutch drinks maestro with a passion for cocktails, wines, and whiskies! A Level 2 WSET sommelier, he knows his tannins from his terroirs—but don’t worry, he keeps it fun.

Oh, and with hair like Justin Bieber and his own cocktail page, he’s basically the rockstar of mixology. Cheers! 🍸🚴‍♂️❄️
