WOW what a venue!!

WOW what a venue!! We booked our wedding of 70 day guests and 140 evening guests back in 2022. Having a black and white themed wedding, we were immediately impressed with the marquee and the birchley suite with its black drapes, twinkly fairy lights and black and white dancefloor as well as being impressed with the detail in decoration and the quirkiness of the venue. We were looking for a venue that matched our personalities and that was different to usual wedding venues and the Heart of England was exactly that. Honestly, we couldn’t have wished for a better day or venue.

The venue itself is set in 160 acres of grounds with its own lake and woods which made the perfect back drop for our wedding photos. It has ample car parking and the accommodation on site is clean and comfortable, our guests commented on the quirkiness of the Shepherd Huts and the Old Hall House and all loved how the marquee, birchley Suite and Accommodation was located together, making it easier to navigate, especially in high heels! The marquee and the birchley suite smell amazing too!!

Our drinks reception and wedding breakfast were held in the marquee and our evening party was held in the birchley Suite. We didn’t tell our guests about the birchley Suite, we wanted to keep it as a surprise as the room itself was very impressive. We loved that we had two rooms to use rather than being turfed out of a room, for it to be turned around for the evening celebration. Adam and I also loved making our Grand Entrance into the birchley suite via the staircase, great opportunity for all to catch a glimpse of us and take photos. Guests loved how our first dance was displayed on the large screens so all could see.

The venues DJ, Adrian kept the dance floor filled all night, weddings are a long day, and we couldn’t believe how many people were still on the dance floor at the end of the night. We only had a few song requests for Adrian, and then we left it to him, he didn’t disappoint, playing music from all eras to suit all ages…..what a party it was!!! many of our guests have asked us to hold an annual anniversary party at the HOE as it was such a great night!

Our Wedding Coordinator Nim, Operations Manager, Wayne and DJ, Adrian were both amazing in the run up to the wedding and on the day, going above and beyond to ensure our day went seamlessly, of which it did. The waiters, waitresses and bar staff were all incredibly polite congratulating us, with many of them telling us how much they enjoyed working our special day. Nim, Wayne, Adrian, Chef and all staff are a huge credit to the venue.

HOE organised breakfast for us the next day in the Pine Suite, private dining where we were all sat together to chat and relive the day/night before. Again, the quality of food served at breakfast was phenomenal and enjoyed by all.

I’d also like to mention our Menu Tasting experience that was held several months prior to the day, it was nothing short of extraordinary. The tasting menu was a journey through an array of flavours and textures that showcased the chef’s exceptional creativity and skill. Each dish was beautifully presented and thoughtfully composed.

I would recommend Heart of England in a heartbeat, the venue is stunning, the food is great quality and generous in portion size, the drinks were reasonably priced, and the service was phenomenal. The venue, accommodation and staff made our day a special one to remember, forever. Thank you, Heart of England.

I wish I could do it all over again :-)

My wedding day at The Heart Of England was so special to me and my husband, the sun was shining, we used the private garden area sipping our cocktails and greeting all our guests. The marquee looked stunning and the food was really good, they even made special adjustments for my fussy husband who actually got a bowl of pigs in blankets.. his favorite! The wedding coordinator was very helpful on the run up and the team on the day made sure the day was perfect for us. Everyone enjoyed the Birchley suite party in the evening and the DJ Adrian was great, he really got the party going and it felt like we were in a nightclub! The hog roast in the evening was really nice too. We really felt like the only people there, the ride in the golf buggy was a little treat too. I love woods so it was great to have photo's there. We stayed over in the honeymoon suite and had the whole house for family, lovely to have it to ourselves! Lots of friends have booked too following our big day. Thank you to everyone there.

Amazing !!

Wow! We just want to say thank you for your services at the weekend, and all your prep work in the lead up to the wedding. Everything we asked for was there and the marquee, Birchley and Guest rooms were spot on. The venue was amazing and all to plan. We were amazed and so were the guests, they can’t stop talking about it! We are really glad we booked this venue, and really appreciate the support from the team during the build up and throughout the day.
