January 2024We had a fabulous wedding at Hengrave Hall, everything from the great staff, wonderful caterers to the setup of the venue with the little chapel was just exactly what we wanted. So many people said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to!

January 2024We had our wedding at this stunning venue in January 2024. It was without a doubt the wedding day of dreams! From the moment we first viewed the venue, to the day after the wedding and we left for the last time, the staff could not be more caring, accommodating.and professional. We feel so privileged to have been able to have our wedding at this beautiful venue. The whole process from start to finish has been stress free and i feel we enjoyed our day so much because we knew the staff had every detail in hand. We have had such amazing feed back from our guests regarding our wedding and i'm so thankful to all the staff who made our day so special. Thank you to every single member of staff at Hengrave Hall you are truly an amazing Team!

February 2024We got married at Hengrave Hall in December 2022 and the whole experience was just amazing. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, however the staff really made our day so special. They made planning a wedding from the other side of the world during a global pandemic seem easy. Nothing was too much trouble and our phone calls and emails were answered extremely efficiently. The catering from Milsoms was excellent - our guests absolutely loved the food! A very special thanks to Jenny who coordinated everything on the day. We both felt so happy and relaxed knowing everything was taken care of. At times we felt she could literally read our minds! it was a day we will never forget, we cannot recommend more highly!

January 2024We were married at Hengrave Hall in May 2022 and it was absolutely magical. I couldn't recommend the venue and the team more! We first visited the venue in 2020 and met with Cat who remained our main contact over the 2 year planning process. We ended up needing to push our wedding a year and the team was totally understanding and accommodating. They were organised and work seamlessly with Milsoms (the caterer and day-of coordinators). I would consider myself very organised and particular and I couldn't have asked for more. The day of went flawlessly from the moment we arrived we were greeted by the team who whisked us away to our respective suites and took care of all set up and take down. They went above and beyond with so many extras such as cleaning up the bridal suite (where the bridesmaids got ready) so it was perfect for our wedding night, bringing us plates of canapes and cake during photos, helping me with my dress and sleeves, the list goes on. I would recommend working with preferred suppliers because they know the venue and the team so well, which is really helpful. However we strayed on the florist using Tudor Rose who are INCREDIBLE and I would highly recommend. If you need extra rooms, I would also recommend All Saints who were great to work with as we had lots of out of town guests. On top of the team, the actual venue is stunning. You can see from the photos and when you go to visit but the building and the grounds are truly incredible. Between the service and venue itself, what more can you ask for!
