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!

Organising a big Indian wedding is exhausting, stressful and feels impossible, however choosing EastHampstead park to host our ceremony and reception was the best thing we ever did. The venue could accommodate space for all our guests, as well as comfortable rooms and lovely dining/ green space for those to enjoy the grounds in their free time between events too. The hotel and grounds are beautiful and photos do not do them justice. The kings suite is perfect for big reception parties! The walk up to the kings suite in the flexitent is a nice touch in the evenings too as it is lit up beautifully and adds that extra touch! The long drive up to the main hotel mansion is unbelievable and all our family and friends were as excited as us the moment they saw the venue. The best part out of the venue was working with Prasitha! She went above and beyond for us during the wedding planning to ensure we had everything (and more) that we needed. She never made our crazy requests feel too much and she was just a pleasure to work with. As happy as we are to have had the most amazing day of our lives, we were very sad to know we were no longer planning it with Prasitha anymore. I would highly recommend working with her again and would not hesitate to book this venue.

EVERYTHING was wonderful, such a dream come true! Thank you all for making our special day the most perfect event! The toast master was amazing, the servers polite and elegant, they served the food as if performing in a ballet! You all do the most amazing work and I hope you can appreciate the way you effect the beginnings of people's official journey together. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!

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.

We could not have been more pleased that we arranged for our wedding reception to be held at Stanhill Court. The venue was perfect, the food and service excellent and the organisation first class. Special thanks to Louise the Events Manager for whom nothing was too much trouble and made the whole experience so pleasurable. All our guests commented on what a marvellous venue it was and how much they enjoyed it. We would certainly recommend Stanhill Court to anybody looking for a top notch wedding venue.

The elvetham is such a beautiful place really well looked after and the grounds are amazing. Joanne looked after us from start to finish and she was amazing !! Everyone was the whole staff are just brilliant. Having the church on site was a really unique place to have the ceremony, it’s so great having everything at one place. The day was seamless and no stress. Thanks again.

We just had our wedding at Highfield Park at the weekend and we loved every minute of it!! The day went so smoothly and everything was so well run. The Wedding team (Rebecca and Charlene) were excellent throughout. Always very responsive to emails, very flexible (I changed the seating plan several times!) and very professional. They made organising a wedding as easy as possible. I thought the value for money was excellent. Overall, I would highly recommend this venue. We had the most amazing day!

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 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 Amber & Shane x
