Absolutley Fantastic

Everything about Tissington Hall was just wonderful. The team were wonderful to deal with, especially Cat who supported and reassured us during the whole process. Nothing seemed too much effort. Our wedding day was everything we could have every hoped and dreamed it would be, we would both love to experience it all over again and that is down to the team behind it all. They made the vision of our intimate, relaxed wedding come to life and I couldn't recommend them enough.

The most amazing day!

We recently got married at Tissington Hall and honestly had the best day ever. From the very first time we visited, we completely fell in love with the venue. The grounds are absolutely stunning, the Hall is beautiful, and the whole place just has such a special feel to it.

What really makes Tissington stand out though is the amazing team. They were so supportive in the lead-up to the big day and were just brilliant from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble and they really went out of their way to make sure everything ran perfectly.

Even with 30-degree heat on the day, the staff were calm, professional, and so lovely to have around. We felt totally looked after and could just enjoy the day without any stress.

Big thanks to Lady Fiona, Sir Richard, Cat, and the amazing team at Tissington. If you’re thinking about getting married at Tissington, do it – you won’t regret it!

Perfect venue

We had an amazing wedding at Tissington Hall. The hall, garden & marquee are all gorgeous, and they were very flexible with us being inside / outside as the weather changed. Cat & the team were brilliant, friendly and incredibly organised. There was no question too big or too small in the lead up, and they were able to offer suggestions / solutions along the way.
On the day, the team ensured everything ran very smoothly, kept everyone's drinks topped up and even helped get an ink stain out of my white dress!
We had a perfect day and could not recommend Tissington Hall enough.

What a venue! Service through the roof!!!

WOW! Our wedding at Tissington Hall met every single expectation and more! We loved it! It is hard to not be wowed by the building on the approach to the venue. Stunning architecture and impressive grounds, but what really is the selling point to Tissington Hall is how above and beyond they go to provide you and your guests the best experience ever! Nothing is a problem!

We fell in love with the venue the day we went to visit. We looked at a lot of other 'country house' style properties and liked a lot of them. The others generally had 'package deals' where they did all your food etc too where at Tissington Hall, they had an extensive list of suppliers to recommend. For ease, I think having a package can be sometimes desirable but I would really recommend you not just going for that sort of option. The Tissington team worked with me throughout the whole 18 month lead up to book every supplier so that they were perfect and unique to our special day!

The grounds and premises are stunning so you can imagine what our photos look like!!!

What really is the most special part of Tissington is the personalised service and if you want this, you must consider Tissington. Even on the morning of the wedding when a guest was struggling to get ready due to their mobility, the Tissington team came along as Super Heroes! It really does define 'above and beyond' service!

Thank you Lady Fiona, Sir Richard, Cat, Gabi and the amazing team at Tissington! You are sensational!

A wonderful experience from start to finish

We knew we wanted to get married at Tissington as soon as we visited - the area is beautiful, the hall has so much character, and more than anything Cat put us totally at ease.

The experience has been so smooth from start to finish - and on the day we didn’t have to think about anything at all. Before something even occurred to me, the team had it completely sorted, they were amazing and it meant we could just soak in the day without any stress.

They are total pros and lovely people to boot. We had the most amazing wedding there and I couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Couldn't have asked for more!

The whole team at Tissington went above and beyond to make our wedding day special for us, it was absolutely wonderful and they handled everything for us so we could enjoy the day fully.
The whole venue is perfect, and so many of our guests commented on how gorgeous it all was. We were supposed to get married outside (which would have been lovely) but the rain moved us inside the hall, I was disappointed for a few seconds but then remembered how cosy yet grand the main hall is and was happy all over again.
Thank you to everyone at Tissington Hall!

The perfect venue for a perfect day!

We recently got married at Tissington Hall and couldn't recommend it enough. The venue is stunning, the staff are amazing and the location is incredible! I would highly recommend attending one of their open days to take a look around yourselves if you're planning your special day. A special thank you to Cat (The Wedding & Events Manager) who is so hard working, professional, kind and attentive. We couldn't of asked for better service from her and would recommend in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our day so special - Ben & Leanna x

The Perfect Place for a Perfect Day!

We were so lucky to have had our special day at Tissington Hall a few weeks ago. Everything was absolutely beautiful and everyone at Tissington couldn’t have done more to make our day magical. Cat, Gabbie and the team were incredible throughout and made sure that everything was perfect for us. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and our guests keep on commenting on how beautiful a setting it was. From our first viewing with Fiona to our big day, we were made to feel very welcome and knew throughout the planning process that we were in safe hands. Thank you all so much, it really was our perfect day!

Tissington Hall is the most beautiful venue with fantastic staff! Highly recommended!

We got married at Tissington Hall in September 2025 and we can’t thank the team enough! Right from the first day when Lady Fiona showed us around the hall, the team were warm and welcoming and wanted to make our wedding a truly personal experience. As our wedding was small and intimate, we were lucky enough to have our wedding breakfast in the dining room of the hall …a truly unique experience in a beautiful room steeped in history! We had sole use of the hall for the full day and the wonderful staff catered to our every need …nothing was too much trouble. I can’t thank them enough! Our wedding guests stayed in the hall’s accommodation for the full weekend, most accommodation was in the hall and some in nearby cottages in the village. All the accommodation was superbly decorated to a high standard and catered to our guests every need. We held our evening reception the following night in the Carriage House. Again, the staff were superb, everything was done exactly as we wished and nothing was too much trouble. We can’t thank Catherine and the team enough for their professionalism from start to finish and of course to the Fitzherberts for allowing us use of their beautiful home. If you’re looking for a truly unique, personalised wedding in a beautiful location, Tissington Hall is for you! We highly recommend!

The perfect intimate wedding!

We had an incredible wedding day at Tissington Hall. From the day we viewed the hall, we knew this was the right venue for us. We had a very intimate wedding, and were very lucky in that we were able to use the family dining room in the hall for our wedding breakfast, which was very atmospheric and unique. We all felt so welcomed, all the staff are wonderful and particular thanks to Cat, who communicated so well and who was also amazingly helpful on the wedding day, ensuring our day ran smoothly. All our guests commented on how brilliant a venue it is, and how helpful staff were. It will always be a very special place, and somewhere we will enjoy returning to in future. We highly recommend to any couples looking for the perfect venue, in a stunning location.

Faultless - amazing venue and exceptional staff

We had our dream wedding at Tissington Hall. Not only are the Hall, carriage house and gardens stunning but the team behind the scenes are incredible. Cat (the wedding co-ordinator who is included in the price) was exceptional. She went above and beyond and was so responsive, making the whole wedding planning process enjoyable (rather than stressful!). We didn't have to worry about anything on the day. Everything was seemless and we were so well looked after (e.g. making sure we didn't miss out on the canapés when we were having our pictures taken!). Tissington don't churn out weddings and lots of thought is put in to the smallest details and making sure any ideas / plans you have will work. Lady Fiona also showed us around and Sir Richard was out greeting our guests when they arrived which was a lovely touch. Thank you Tissington!

Stunning venue with amazing people

Everyone at Tissington Hall were lovely from the day we went for a viewing to the day we had our wedding day.
Lady Fiona is really kind and pleasant, she showed us around and answered all our questions on our viewing day. The team communicated well during the process.
We dropped things off on Sunday before our wedding day and were greeted by Cat and Lady Fiona again and the hall was all ready for us to decorate, ran through what we were doing.
On our wedding day, Cat and Clare ensured the day run smoothly along with their team. We had a foggy weather, but we still had our best day and the team made that happened.
Absolutely stunning location with full access to the venue, first class staff and owners.
