Both of us and our guests could not fault the service, our guests were even commenting that there was not one member of staff who was not amazing!
Laura, words couldn’t even describe how amazing she was! Always kept in the loop, we worried about nothing! She was incredible from start to finish.
Jason, what a fantastic chef. The food was all incredible and cooked to perfection. Everyone commented on how good the food was, and a month later still get compliments about it!
Katie showed us around on our first visit, and we were so impressed we booked the venue there and then!
Polly, our Personal Wedding Manager, was amazing. As soon as we arrived at the house, she made us feel relaxed and confident she had everything in hand. At no point did we feel we had to manage or worry about a thing, all our wishes and expectations were fully met, the day was perfect for start to finish.
All the staff we encountered were polite and professional, thank them all from us, as they all made the day that it was, perfect in every way.
We had our wedding at Holmewood Hall, and honestly, it was everything we could have hoped for and more. The venue itself is absolutely stunning—beautiful grounds, elegant rooms, and the perfect setting for both the ceremony and reception. It really gave our day that special, unforgettable feel.
A huge shoutout to our Personal Wedding Manager, Jenna, who was incredible from start to finish. She made the whole process feel so easy and stress-free, always on hand to answer questions, keep things organised, and make sure every little detail was just right.
On the day itself, everything ran seamlessly, which meant we could just relax and enjoy every moment. The staff were all so friendly and professional, and so many of our guests commented on how amazing the venue and atmosphere were. Thank you for making our day so perfect! Daryl & Lauren Giles.
The gardens were amazing with the daffodils and the lake. Jenna and the team were very helpful. Cocktails got very good feedback from guests and looked lovely. Thank you, Jenna, for your hard work and great communication throughout.
Katie (Sales) & Polly (Personal Wedding Manager) have been absolutely amazing! Her friendly smile, nothing was ever to much trouble. Super helpful and was an absolute pleasure to have with us on our wedding thank. Thank you so much!! Guests have said how friendly and professional staff were on the day!
Everything was perfect; clean, beautifully maintained, and the internal decor was spot on. One of the reasons we booked here was because everything was clearly very organised, and the service during the booking and viewing was of very high quality. We knew everything would be taken care of!
Polly was extremely helpful and communicative throughout the entire process, including answering last-minute questions promptly and patiently. All of our guests commented on how impeccable the service was throughout the day. Everything was clear, and everyone was very warm. WE LOVE POLLY!!!!!! From the venue tour, we knew we would be in good hands with Polly as our wedding manager. She made us feel so taken care of and did the same with all of our family and wedding party. The quality of food was very high.
Amazing location for a wedding. Has the wow factor from the moment you walk in. Becky was extremely friendly and helpful, and nothing was too much. Katy, Becky and Laura were all excellent, and again, nothing was too much trouble.
Laura made the administrative side super simple. The service during our wedding was exceptional. Couldn’t have been any better! Everything worked like clockwork. Re catering team and Kayla – We couldn’t have asked for a better catering manager for our wedding. From the very first conversation to the final moments of the day, the service was exceptional in every sense. What stood out most was the level of personal care — nothing ever felt generic or routine. Every detail was handled with genuine attention, calm professionalism, and a warmth that made us feel completely looked after.
Laura was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel completely supported, calm, and genuinely cared for. Every detail was handled with such professionalism and warmth that it felt like having a trusted friend guiding us through the day. Laura was always one step ahead. Plenty of guests stated that the food was awesome.
Katie was amazing and always very helpful and supportive! Jenna was incredible, always on it, super well organised and prepared and sweet! Jenna was really amazing and does Holmewood Hall a great service by representing them.
From start to finish, we enjoyed connecting with her and were really grateful for her always being available, friendly and efficient. We were also in touch with Katie for almost a year before booking, and her helpful updates and always being so accommodating were the original reasons that we chose Holmewood Hall as our wedding location. Both team members are fantastic, and we are so grateful to have been in contact with them.
It was all beautiful. The house was spotless, and everything looked exceptional. But this is true for every single time we have visited. The rooms were immaculate. The grounds were well maintained! It made such a massive difference to our photos.
The bedrooms were all beautifully presented and clean. Everyone commented on the rooms and how nice they were! Katie and Becky were amazing; they were very accommodating as we spent 18 months coming back to the venue before we booked it. Nothing was ever too much for them, answering questions promptly and in plenty of detail. Polly was AMAZING. We had so many questions, which were always answered quickly.
During the build-up, we went to see the venue and every single time people were asking how the plans were, which made it feel very special. On our wedding day, everything was absolutely amazing. Every single member of staff working was happy, kind, and funny, and they really made our wedding day special.
The guys in the kitchen! The food was amazing; everyone commented on the quality of the food and the high standard of it. People are still talking to us about the food!! Great choice of beers, wines, spirits, long drinks and shots. Love the Holmewood Hall gin too.
The house was magical with all the Christmas trees and decorations, which suited our Christmas-themed wedding. It was clean, tidy and well maintained.
The wedding day staff were amazing. Laura and Michaela are assets to Holmewood Hall. All the waiting staff were very attentive and professional in their approach. The clear up team also need a mention as all our stuff was packed away well, ready for our departure.
The wedding breakfast food, the quality was fantastic and matched what we had received at our trial meal. All drinks were good. I was glad to receive a poinsettia cocktail in my room (when I thought I’d miss out). The wine choices offered for the wedding breakfast were great. I’ve received many compliments about how nice the rose wine was.
You exceeded our expectations. We cannot wait to revisit some of your events.
Every member of staff went above and beyond and made every guest feel welcome.
Our Personal Wedding Manager Jenna was absolutely amazing; we don’t know where to start with how incredible Jenna and the team were. She took control of everything; We can’t thank her enough! She went above and beyond, she is a true asset to Holmewood Hall and we can’t thank Jenna and the team enough.
