Stately Home Wedding Venues in South East - England

Susan and Quinn’s Catering are amazing. The service from initial meetings through to the day of the Wedding. No question was too big or small, with Susan taking everything in her stride and making us feel so comfortable in the decisions we were making. She was on hand with ideas to make the day feel even more special and her staff were faultless - from after ceremony drinks, canapés all the way through the wedding breakfast and evening reception. They were always on hand, so helpful and polite and always putting the guests first. We have had multiple guests tell us it was the best wedding they had been to, partly due to the service and the quality of the food - dare we mention the sweet chilli sausages?! The amount of requests we have had for where they are from….. we had people queuing up for canapés as they came round (yes, they were that good) and the BBQ platter and trio of desserts went down an absolute storm - we all ate like royalty! We couldn’t have asked for anything more from our day, with Slindon, Susan and her staff (plus the food) being a huge part of that! The venue is incredible, Susan is so generous with her time and knowledge and her staff are amazing. From what could have been a very stressful build up and day Susan helped us breeze through it. She has all the contacts you could dream of and we couldn’t have made it such a special day without her!

We had our fantastic wedding here and it went without a hitch. From the minute we booked the venue to the breakfast the morning after, the team at Easthampstead park were fantastic and made sure every single detail was perfect for our day. Hannah was especially incredible in ensuring every final detail was in place ahead of the big day and made sure on the day that everything ran like clockwork her communication during the wedding planning process was spot on and she was always on hand to answer any questions we had. Her attention to ensuring the day runs smoothly is impeccable and she was always there with a smile when ever I saw her. The whole team from bar staff, waiting staff, and reception staff all made myself and our guests stay and wedding absolutely perfect, we couldn't have asked for a better venue and team. Id highly recommend Easthampstead park for any event you could need. They'll ensure its everything you want and more. Thank you! ❤️

Addington Palace is a dream venue to capture weddings. Its majestic architecture, sprawling grounds, and opulent interiors offer endless opportunities for creating stunning images that will be cherished for a lifetime. 18th-century mansion timeless beauty, rich history, and romantic ambiance make it the perfect setting for capturing the magic of weddings in all its glory. Whether it's a grand affair or an intimate celebration, this iconic venue never fails to inspire and enchant, and I feel truly fortunate to be able to document such special moments in such a stunning setting.

From the moment I met with Alex Dollin Webster, the Events Manager at the beautiful Estate that is Somerley, I knew we were in safe hands. A warm, professional and hospitable welcome awaits one upon arrival. Together with her Team, Alex ensures that your wishes and vision are bought to life. With effortless execution on the day and with a knowledgeable, friendly and helpful Team, it was an absolute pleasure working with Somerley. The history, and the artwork which once rivalled the King’s collection, are truly magnificent with every room revealing a jaw dropping view onto the Estate and its grounds. The Picture Gallery is fit for Royalty and dining in it makes one feel just that. Indeed you are made to feel like it is your home for the day with endless possibilities whatever one’s taste and Party theme. Having worked in so many 5 star venues in London, around the country and beyond, I cannot recommend Somerley highly enough. It is just sensational! It makes one not only feel you are sharing in a very quintessentially English part of history, but that you can rest in the knowledge that your Event will be splendid! Thank you Alex and Somerley for being a total joy to work with! I know that my client has been left with the most wonderful memories to treasure forever.

From the moment the day began to the very last dance, our wedding at Stanhill Court Hotel truly felt like something out of a dream. It was the most perfect day, and we could not have chosen a better venue to celebrate such a special occasion. Louise, our wedding coordinator, was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. She made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire planning process and gave me so much confidence every step of the way. We had multiple meetings to discuss our plans, and she was always full of helpful suggestions and thoughtful ideas. No question was ever too much, and she responded to my endless emails so efficiently and kindly. Anything she could do to make our day run smoothly, she did without hesitation, and her support meant the world to us. On the day itself, all of the staff at Stanhill were incredible. They were so helpful with setting up the venue and went above and beyond to keep me calm and relaxed throughout the morning. Their professionalism and warmth made such a difference and allowed us to fully enjoy every moment. The food was absolutely incredible — every single guest commented on how amazing it was! Any allergies, dietary requirements, and special requests were handled so thoughtfully and seamlessly, and every dish was beautifully presented and delicious. We are already looking forward to coming back soon for lunch or dinner. Overall, choosing Stanhill Court Hotel for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made, and we truly cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you so much to Louise and the entire team for helping make our special day so unforgettable.

As above it went very well communication was prompt and thorough and the price was well within our budget but the quality was not comprised

We booked the Knot now, Knot later package and planned our wedding with Annie and Helen, within six months. The package included a three course meal, 8 rooms with access to leisure facilities, toastmaster, hire of private bar and function room until late, with evening light bite. Both Annie and Helen were amazing from the initial contact through to the day itself, answering all our questions efficiently and put us at ease throughout. Everyone commented on the table service and how delicious the food was, as well as how great it was having Geoff the toastmaster on hand all day. The venue was immaculate and the grounds manicured, truly making it an unforgettable special day! Thank you too all the team at Eastwell Manor.

Our wedding day was the best day of our lives, and we both are adamant that this venue was indispensable to making it so. My husband and I got married at the beginning of May this year and for me, the only option was Mount Ephraim as I spent most of my childhood in the village. From the very first visit of the beautiful gardens and elegant house, it confirmed my choice. Lucy was so warm, welcoming and professional from the beginning. Nothing was too small, and would always be ready to answer an email or phone call about any of our questions. Vicki, the wedding coordinator was a dream also, she was always positive and her experience just allowed the day to run without anything going awry. The guest all commented on how elegant and timeless the house was. The feeling I always had every time I visited the venue and on the day, was it was a home from home. And when you are celebrating the love and joy of your partner with everyone you love, that is exactly the atmosphere you want. Lucy doesn't let the venue feel like a wedding factory; she said yes to most things we requested, or if it had never been done before, worked out how we could do it. All the guests that stayed the two nights were so impressed and pleased with the absolutely beautiful rooms and service. We even added extra kids and they were accommodated with no dramas. Although Scott Anderson Catering comes with the venue, it is the best wedding food we've ever had. And Nicola who ran the catering also was so kind and patient and supported any whim I had. Guests cancelled on the day, but no fuss was made just small switches and on with the day. We had the most joyful, fun, special day, and it wouldn't have been so special without this venue.

We were lucky enough to get married at Ardington House last week and it was the best decision we ever made! The house itself it simply stunning- so much so that we decided to have our ceremony indoors to make the most of it! From day one the communication with Charlie and Charlotte was just amazing. We had no idea where to start in terms of wedding planning and they helped us immensely and answered our relentless questions for the best part of a year! In fact, we wouldn't even have had a legal ceremony if they hadn't reminded us to book the registrar!! We had a wonderful tasting session with Fingers and Forks prior to the day and they completely re-worked dishes to suit our tastes. Genuinely, the possibilities for food options were endless and everything we tasted was delicious. The end result was just amazing and even the picky eaters amongst our guests finished their plates! On the day, I truly thought I would be running around like a headless chicken but genuinely, my husband and I didn't have to worry about or do a thing! Everything ran like complete clockwork thanks to the fabulous staff. Even small things such as keeping a separate tray of canopes on the side for us to eat in between pictures just made us feel so looked after. One small thing that I hadn't considered until afterwards was that the drink prices at the bar during the reception were also extremely reasonable. A lot of our guests commented on this because given the luxe feel of the venue, they had assumed it would be much more! The entire day was flawless from start to finish, and every little touch that we had discussed in the run up was ready and waiting for us there on the day. I am so grateful for all of the work that everyone put in to make our day so special and I honestly couldn't recommend this venue and the team highly enough!

We had our wedding here in November 2025 and they answered every question and happily made every request possible they made our day as amazing ad possible! Erin, our coordinator was kind helpful and professional! All the staff involved were amazing and we could not recommend this venue enough
