Wedding Venues in East Midlands - England

We had our wedding at Kenwick Park on 7th December 2024, 118 day guests and around 190 evening guests. The majority of our guests either stayed in the lodges or the hotel, which has recently been renovated, all of which commented how lovely they were, and how excellent the service was. We booked it a year previous following a meeting with Kenwick’s wedding planner Sam. Firstly, Sam was exceptional from the day we booked it to the day we left the day after the wedding, nothing was too much trouble, her support, communication and dedication to her role was off the scale, what an absolute credit you are to Kenwick park - thank you. Kenwick worked with us to tailor our day to meet exactly what we wanted in line with our budget, they helped us put Christmas trees up, lights, decorations, vases and bent over backwards to help us set up as much as we could, to take the pressure off on the wedding day! They welcomed our suppliers who all commented how lovely the venue was and how professional yet personal ALL the staff were. We had a Christmas menu with 4 menu choices, all of which were fabulous, despite the fact the speeches overran, well done to your chefs for managing to keep it all so fresh and warm! The food was served so efficiently by the staff, quickly clearing tables ready for the desert course. Anita who ran our day was an absolute superstar, always one step ahead, making sure our guests were looked after, that we were happy, stayed until stupid o’clock tidying up so we didn’t have to do it the following day, and even went out of her way to put our bouquets in water that were left on the side (I’d had far too many shots to remember it!) so they kept fresh! Without you our day wouldn’t have been the same, thank you so much. There were far too many excellent staff members to name them all, but Brian, thank you for saving the day in the bad weather and looking after my mum and children, you was so lovely and kind, the fabulous guy behind the bar (I’m so sorry I can’t remember your name), but he made the best espresso martini and was so fabulous with our guests, the bar staff didn’t stop all night. The reception staff who were so welcoming, finding us tape, scissors, rooms to store things at the drop of a hat! Thank you all so much. Kenwick Park will always hold a special place in our hearts, anyone looking for a wedding venue look no further, you won’t regret it. I genuinely don’t believe venues that cost far in excess of what we’ve paid would give such a faultless, personal service, love, support, beautiful accommodation reasonably priced with such beautiful spa facilities! A massive well done, I just wish we could do it all again!

Castle View is the most beautiful wedding venue we could have ever dreamed of! Set in the most stunning location, it provided the perfect backdrop for our special day—absolutely breathtaking from every angle. Ellie is truly incredible. From the planning stages to the wedding day itself, she was so flexible and supportive, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Her professionalism and warmth made us feel so at ease, and her attention to detail was second to none. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the venue! Everyone was blown away by how beautiful it was, with so many people asking us about it throughout the day. It was wonderful to hear that they loved it as much as we did! Ellie’s team was equally fantastic. If there was ever anything we needed on the day, they were there in an instant, helping quickly and discreetly. Their efforts ensured that every little detail was polished to perfection, allowing us to relax and enjoy the moment. We can’t thank Ellie and her amazing team enough for making our wedding day so magical. It really is such a special place!

Hirst Priory provided us the flexibility to essentially have a wedding weekend! Utilising the entire property for the various aspects we wanted to include nothing was too much hassle. We were able to work easily with the team prior to the wedding and on the day to achieve our vision and having the flexibility to deal with vendors ourselves made this really easy

We wanted a non-traditional wedding in a relaxed setting where our guests could feel comfortable, unwind, and enjoy a break from the city without worrying about formal attire. Bell Tent Village Parks was the perfect venue for that! With guests traveling from different places and countries, we had the opportunity to spend 24 hours together rather than just a single evening. The tents are amazing, comfortable, and charming – all of our guests loved spending the night there. Kay and her team are incredible! I can't thank them enough for making our day so special.

Wow, just wow!!! What else can we say! From the moment Chris and I viewed Knockerdown we knew it was the venue for us. The whole set up embraces everything that is important to us. We were able to create the perfect wedding weekend with those closest to us. Justeen, Fiona and the team at Knockerdown are amazing. They are super organised and supportive and have a great list of suppliers to help style the venue. We really can not thank them enough, our weekend was beyond perfect and far more than we ever expected. With love Jo and Chris Campton

We had our wedding in July at Gradbach Mill. We had the most amazing day and the whole team at Gradbach couldn't do enough for us. Everyone is so kind and accommodating. Our guests enjoyed every bit and found the bedrooms to be very comfortable. Six weeks on and we are still raving about our wedding. People who have only seen photos have also said how great it looked. The location is stunning. The food is simply amazing and catered for many dietary requirements. This is a gem of a venue and we can't recommend it enough. Thank you again to all the team, you are just brilliant.

What can we say, we absolutely loved Elsham Hall as our venue. It is a truly beautiful place, from the gorgeous grounds, the beautiful buildings its just a fabulous setting. The recent renovations have really elevated the venue but has not taken away from its historic structure. There is a bridal prep room which is just beyond anything you could wish for, a wonderful space to get ready I was blown away. The venue comes with Heidi, well this lady is a game changer, she helped us plan and organise and made us feel like the most special couple. She really listened to us and appreciated what we wanted as a couple. She suggested great suppliers and we can not thank her enough!! We had the most amazing experience and have made some wonderful memories, thank you x

This place is a hidden gem Small venue but if you have a small family and you want somewhere that is grand and beautiful. Without paying thousands. Lovely outdoor gardens and ceremony. Check it out!

Kate and Karen helped us every step of the way bringing our special day to life. Everything was tailored to us, from decorations to the food. It made us feel special and it did not feel like a generic wedding. The venue’s price for reasonable compared to other venues in the area. Nothing was too much trouble and the barn is so beautiful. There were also some lawn games for children. It was lovely to have 10 spaces for people to stay over so I could have the bridesmaids with me and parents. We would highly recommend Dunstall Barn to anyone. It’s one of the most unique, intimate and special wedding venues around the area. Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. Greta & Tom

I wanted to extend my deepest gratitude to you and your wonderful team for the incredible experience I had at Beeston Fields. As a wedding videographer, I have the pleasure of visiting many venues, but the warmth and professionalism displayed by you and your team truly stood out. From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel welcome and supported. Your attention to detail and seamless coordination ensured that I could focus entirely on capturing the beautiful moments of the day. Your team’s assistance and friendly demeanor made my job not only easier but also immensely enjoyable. The breathtaking grounds and elegant interiors of Beeston Fields provided a stunning backdrop for the wedding, and it was a joy to film in such a well-maintained and picturesque venue. It’s evident that you all take great pride in what you do, and it translates into the exceptional service and atmosphere you provide. Thank you once again for looking after me so well and for being such a pleasure to work with. I look forward to the opportunity of returning to Beeston Fields in the future.
