Wotton House Reviews (113) Write a review Venue Service By Corinne and Rich, on 11 Jul 2018Date of Wedding - 10 Mar 2018 To the worlds most amazing team I don’t know how I will ever show my gratitude enough to you all for yesterday. We had the most amazing day and it’s all down to you guys. There are official thank yous coming to you all indivually when we are back from honeymoon but I just wanted to say you are all awesome, amazing, fabulous and thank you thank you thank you.How tasty the food was... Venue Service By Sarah and James, on 11 Jul 2018Date of Wedding - 10 Feb 2018 Apologies for the delayed reply - we've only just returned from honeymoon so it has been a bit of a whirlwind! We had an amazing wedding day - thank you! We couldn't have asked for more, it was exactly as we had hoped and more. All of our guests were commenting on how smoothly the day ran, how beautiful the venue looked and how tasty the food was. They were all extremely impressed, as were we! I must also say that the toastmaster, Robert, was awesome - he really gave structure to the day, had a great personality and calmed both me and James down (as we were both rather nervous before the ceremony!). All of your staff were brilliant, so helpful and friendly. Thanks also for all your help in organising the day, it is much appreciated. I am waiting for the first lot of professional photos to be sent to me, but I will send you some on receipt so you can see how it all looked! We will certainly be returning to stay at Wotton House in the near future :-) Many thanks again,Magical Venue Service By Leyla, on 11 Jul 2018Date of Wedding - 08 Dec 2017 I just want to say we had an amazing weekend ! The wedding was magical !! Made it even more special with the Christmas decorations and Every one was saying what a lovely weekend it was !! I want to particularly say as I am a vegan and several others there too said how delicious our vegan meal was and would like to come and stay there again. Also a big thank you to the staff who looked after us, Saturday night too as well as Sunday. A great time was had by all.Wedding October 2017 Venue Service By Steph, on 19 Nov 2017Date of Wedding - 28 Oct 2017 We got married at Wotton House in October 2017. The venue is beautiful and it was an amazing day - the food was delicious, and the staff were brilliant. For us it was perfect - the ceremony room is stunning, then the Evelyn suite is less formal which we thought was nicer for the meal etc (though still looks beautiful once the decorations are in place). The MC (Robert) was brilliant too - very funny, incredibly helpful the whole day (e.g told us where to pause before walking down the aisle, etc), and listened to our request to try not to make things feel too formal. There was so much attention to detail - from bringing us champagne in the morning, to making sure we got canapes while getting photos taken, and from the way they had clearly put lots of thought/care into putting out all our table stationery etc. The team were also very good in terms of organising things beforehand - responded to all our questions and put together a very detailed wedding plan to ensure they'd captured all our preferences.Magical! Venue Service By Simon Christopher, on 30 Oct 2017Date of Wedding - 22 Oct 2017 Wotton House will always have a special place in our hearts after our truly magical wedding ceremony. From the moment we first visited, we knew we wanted to get married here. The old library is a beautiful room for a wedding ceremony and when it is decorated to your taste it really is breathtaking. The Wotton House team went out of their way to look after us and made sure the day went to plan. If you happen to have good weather as well (as we did) then the grounds are perfect for your guests to wander, kids to play in and for photos.We are delighted that we chose Wotton House Venue Service By Mr and Mrs Coppin, on 17 Nov 2016Date of Wedding - 13 Aug 2016 Thank you very much to yourself and all of the other colleagues who we dealt with in the run up to the wedding. Also to the lady who was in charge of setting up on the day, Amanda. We are very happy with how everything went and everybody commented on what a beautiful venue it was. We are delighted that we chose Wotton House as the venue for our special day.How excellent all of the staff were! Venue Service By Mr. Nelson at guest at the Nelson Wedding, on 17 Nov 2016Date of Wedding - 05 Aug 2016 I stayed at your Wotton House hotel on Friday 5 August as my nephew was getting married at that venue on that day. I just wanted to say how excellent all of the staff were, particularly the waiting and serving staff, all of whom were so helpful and friendly. It really added something to what was a big family event so please ensure that their managers are made aware of how good their staff are.Every member of staff were absolutely superb! Venue Service By Father of the Bride Mr & Mrs Nelson, on 17 Nov 2016Date of Wedding - 05 Aug 2016 Just a quick email to say a huge thank you to you and all the staff at Wotton house, for making Zoe and Steve’s wedding last Friday (5th) such a memorable time. They were made to feel extra special, and from the beginning to the end of their wedding every member of staff were absolutely superb, I couldn’t be more happy with the way things went. From the ceremony right through to the last song being played in the evening everything ran like clockwork, and that is down to all the hard work of every member of staff there. We stayed at the hotel until Sunday morning and I must say everyone there was so friendly that it made our stay even better, so once again thank you very much. Seeing your daughter get married is a huge deal and looking back I am so grateful that you and all the staff there insured both Zoe and Steve had the best time. They didn’t even need to tell me this I could tell just by looking at the smiles on their faces, and that is in no small part down to everyone there at Wotton House.Thank you so very much Venue Service By Mr & Mrs Young, on 10 Aug 2016Date of Wedding - 28 Jul 2016 Our day was just magical it literally couldn't have gone any better, thank you so very much !!Everything was perfect!
