Perfect communication, service and wine!

We had our wedding at Aldwick Estate in August and loved every second. We viewed a few other venues and spent time debating the pros and cons, but knew Aldwick was perfect from the second we arrived.
The communication with the team was excellent and they were always on hand to answer any of our questions, no matter how small.
The wedding day was perfect and we couldn't have asked for better service. Every little detail was considered and we felt really relaxed on the day because we knew that everything was being taken care of and we didn't need to worry about anything.
The venue itself is gorgeous, the rooms are really beautiful and comfortable and importantly, the wine is fantastic.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Aldwick to anyone.

Thank you for the perfect day

Aldwick were amazing from start to finish. They answered all our questions, and the day could not have gone any better. Having an outside ceremony was the cherry on top. Thank you to the team at Aldwick for making our day so special!

Fantastic wedding venue for any time of year

My husband and I got married at Aldwick Estate in March 2024, and it was absolutely incredible. All of our guests raved about how lovely a venue it is - it manages to be intimate even though it's really quite a big space! And it has a perfect rustic meets modern aesthetic! We loved that there were separate spaces, but it was all connected, so it never felt empty or imbalanced.

The outside space was beautiful with excellent views over the mendips, and even though it was very early spring, there were some blooms and colour which made for lovely photos.

The staff are just lovely. Sarah in particular was so helpful, detailed and attentive - I asked plenty of questions in the run up and they always came back to me quickly, and they couldn't do enough!

The accommodation was also excellent. All our guests were very happy with the amenities. The rooms are fairly small but they have everything you could need and they're comfortable. The bridal lodge was fantastic and very luxurious.

Aldwick have a great selection of decor items that they let you use for no extra charge, which is rare at most wedding venues! And the venue really doesn't need much dressing, as it's so beautiful, light and open, with those striking exposed beams.

Their wine is really excellent and we were given a wine tasting as part of our package so we got to experience the accommodation beforehand whilst sampling the great wines that they have on offer.

I am so happy that we chose Aldwick for this very special day, and we're very grateful to the whole team for making it happen!

Loved everything about this venue

We got married at this incredible venue on 15th September and it was everything we could have imagined and more. We looked at 12 venues before choosing Aldwick Estate and we both had the same feeling as we did when we bought our first home. We knew it was right for us and it did not disappoint.

Our whole experience with the team has been great throughout; their communication impeccable and hugely responsive on email exchanges.

Our pre wedding planning meeting with Sarah was warm and welcoming, visions for the day shared and help and advice given when needed yet encouraging us to do what made us happy.

Everything on the day ran incredibly smoothly with a huge thanks to Sarah and Saffron for all their hard work they put in to making sure everything was perfect. The set up was exactly how I envisaged and the day ran seamlessly. All our guests absolutely
Loved the venue and the staff were all so friendly and welcoming.

The food was absolutely delicious and cannot speak highly enough of the catering team who did an incredible job. It was a day we will cherish forever and we are so thrilled that Aldwick gave us the dream wedding we had our sights on. Thank you to each and every one of the team, it was literally the best day ever.

The most perfect venue in every way

The team at Aldwick crafted our PERFECT day and we couldn't be more grateful. There was almost zero stress in planning our wedding thanks to the wonderful team and resources they have to hand. The table decorations were phenomenal, and the team used their creative flair all around the venue to make it look magical - we couldn't be happier.
When we met Anna, we knew we would be in good hands - and when she needed to pass us over to Sarah and Saffron we were still in great hands - the whole team is so wonderful, kind and attentive. They checked everything with us at every point, sent friendly reminders, made brilliant suggestions and were just everything you would want in wedding coordinators.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning. We fell in love with the vineyard last Summer, and booked our big day within hours because we knew nothing else would compare. The location is perfect, and the onsite accommodation is brilliant. Space for everyone to get ready in the morning if you stay the night before, everything is clean, tidy, and beautifully decorated, and the luxury lodge is PERFECT. We woke up to rain the morning after our beautiful day, and the smell of the rain around the vineyard was so refreshing, and the views - despite the grey - we're still incredible.
We could not have chosen better, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you Aldwick!!!

Beautiful Wedding Venue

Can’t recommend Aldwick enough! Such a beautiful venue for our wedding and a lovely team helping us to make it the perfect day.

They were flexible and helpful when guiding us through multiple rearrangements due to Covid, making us feel special at every stage.

The venue is beautifully laid out so that you don’t need to decorate it much if you don’t want to, but will also easily suit any theme you wanted.

Sarah and the team couldn’t do enough to help on the day and the caterers were also attentive and served a delicious wedding breakfast.

There are plenty of picturesque areas for wedding photos too.

We have no negative comments and will be back for wine tasting in the future 👰🏻‍♀️💍

The perfect venue

We could not have picked a more perfect wedding venue. We literally booked them on the drive home after viewing because we knew it was the one! No hidden costs, decor included in the price and we even included a very affordable wine tasting for guests on the day.
The team were flawless! So quick to respond to emails, organised the whole process and on the day we did not have to think about a thing, from set up to timings to anything! And on top of that they are all SO lovely. And the wine is incredible, we had guests buying bottles on the day.

Simply Perfect!

We cannot thank the team at Aldwick enough, from our first meeting to view the venue, Sarah was amazing. So friendly and super helpful. She answered all of our questions and we ended up booking the stunning venue that afternoon.

The venue is the perfect canvas, so if you are wanting a rustic feel wedding to a classic feel, Aldwick has a great range of decorations free for you to use and to customise the venue to fit your look. As well as additional bits for your guests to enjoy, like outdoor games.

Every member of staff are so lovely and very accommodating. They made our whole wedding stress free and a day to remember. They made sure we knew exactly where to go and what to do on the day and even saved us some canapes and a glass of bubbles for us to enjoy before the wedding breakfast.

Our guests loved the venue and the accommodation and some have even booked onto the wine tasting tour as they enjoyed the wine so much! In addition to this, being whisked away to the honeymoon lodge the night of the wedding was just the icing on the cake!

We cannot express our gratitude and thanks enough to the whole team and we wish we could do it all over again, this is why we are booking up to stay on our 1st wedding anniversary.

We would highly recommend this venue for a wedding or special occasion!

Dream wedding

my husband and I had our perfect wedding at Aldwick in May 2024. we booked in 2022 and had the best support with planning, resources and set up. The actual day ran so smoothly and so many of our guests commented on what a brilliant day we had. A big shout out to Saffron who matched our energy and just made sure we were having the time of our lives.

Spectacular attention to detail

Took the stress and worry out of all the planning and made it such an enjoyable experience. Thought of absolutely everything and were there every step of the way. The day itself was perfect, our wedding coordinator went above and beyond and made everything as stress free as possible. We had full use of the estate and all the rooms for 2 nights which enabled us to arrive the night before our wedding and relax. Everything was taken care of for us and every detail had been thought about by the Aldwick team. Absolutely perfect day cannot thank Aldwick enough!
