Hamswell House, Exclusive Hire

Hamswell House was the perfect setting for our wedding this May. After getting married under the lime tree, our guests were able to enjoy the beautifully maintained gardens and stunning views before moving into the marquee, and the venue really helped the day to flow nicely. Rupert was helpful and responsive throughout, providing helpful guidance. We would thoroughly recommend Hamswell House as a truly special wedding venue.

We had our perfect day at Hamswell House on the 9th August 2025. We initially enquired in May 2024 and met with Tessa, who gave us the warmest greeting and couldn't be more helpful in telling us all the options available to us, and giving us a very thorough tour of the beautiful Hamswell House grounds. We left that day confident that we had found the one, whilst we did head to another couple of venues from there we knew our heart was set on Hamswell, so we arranged a second meeting and booked our day. Hamswell House offer recommendations for vendors being a dry hire venue, I'd specifically recommend Epic Catering who were nothing short of perfect. We've been to many of weddings where the food has been a bit samey, but let me assure you every single one of our guests couldn't stop speaking about how amazing the food was, and we felt the same! A great thing about Hamswell House is the 0 corkage for your own alcohol, so for our cocktail hour and wedding reception we provided all of the alcohol which was looked after for us. Rupert (owner) was also very responsive, and helpful with any queries that we had, of which there were many especially during the buildup. We were allowed to come and set up the day before which was very helpful, with the marquee all ready (provided by Henry at Bath Marquees, again, excellent). The day itself was nothing short of perfect, the weather was great, Hamswell was presented in all it's glory and our guests had the best time as did we. It's the perfect location for a wedding that feels like you're abroad with the fantastic views, with that classic rustic British feel. A truly excellent day that we'll cherish forever!!

We had the wedding of our dreams at Hamswell House. It was the first venue we toured and we fell completely in love. Rupert was communicative and welcoming, and made it easy to know it was the venue for us. The house and grounds allows for wonderful flow from the ceremony on the front lawn, to cocktail hour on the patio and gardens, and reception in the marquee. The backdrop and grounds also mean you have so much natural beauty to work with. All of our guests could not believe the view and told us it felt like a movie. Thank you so much for our dream day!
