    Stunning venue, unforgettable experience

    We chose Huntsham because of the ability to have all our guests stay on one site - it really made the whole weekend that bit more special. Our planner Natalie was extremely helpful in planning and coordinating the day.
    Staff were very responsive and great at onboarding and communicating with our suppliers: it was really good to have the ability to choose your own caterers etc. The no corkage fee was a definite plus for us. We hired a number of their staff during the weekend including bar staff, glass collectors, movers, general staff; all of whom were extremely helpful and efficient.
    We held a number of different events throughout our weekend, including a cinema screening on the Friday and a ceilidh on the Saturday night.
    We booked the entire venue and all of our guests loved the rooms which each had their own charms.
    There's a lot of paperwork to arrange and read in preparation for the weekend (something like 30+ docs in one email) with limited flexibility and it made it feel a little overwhelming, but the whole weekend experience made up for this.
    Highly recommend!

    Gorgeous venue but totally self-catering

    Such a gorgeous venue! Each beautifully decorated room was full of character, whether a function room or bedroom, and we loved every single one of them. We wanted a local wedding venue with stunning interiors (to allow for the great British weather), could provide accommodation for us and our overseas guests, and was also dog-friendly for our most important bridal party member Lottie. Huntsham Court ticked all the boxes and was the perfect mix of warm hospitality and vintage opulence. The housekeeping and bar staff hired by our planner Laura, who works as one of their in-house planners, were extremely pleasant to work with – cheerful and chatty but also efficient at carrying out their tasks. We also appreciated the freedom to hire any vendors provided their insurance/licences were suitable, and there was no corkage fee – something which stands out against competitors which tend to designate fixed caterers or have exorbitant corkage.
    Cons – certainly not the cheapest venue in the area, and the price only includes the venue, 2 porter slots and 6 hours of a planner’s time to help with essential admin e.g. ensuring your vendors have appropriate PAT testing on their equipment. No other house staff or any consumables are included. While this means any additional costs are completely in your control, it also means you have a lot of organizing to do! We quickly realized that many things that we took for granted (as our minimal wedding experience had been in hotels) such as glass collectors, dishwashing tablets, and instant coffee had to be sourced and supplied by us. We decided to hire the in-house planner for a more comprehensive package to assist with staff hire and advice on vendors who were used to the venue and would have the appropriate licenses/insurance/equipment (although the venue does not limit vendors per se), which increased expenditure further. We believe that the extent of how self-catering the venue is should be more clearly explained on their website as we were not aware that we would be having to supply our own bin bags at the point of putting down our deposit.
    Would we hire it again? All our guests were awestruck and had the best time exploring the ground floor, the gardens and even the bedrooms after others had checked out. Everyone was complimentary of the décor and the staff. Maybe, now that we are aware of the level of planning required and the “hidden” charges, we would still be open to considering it for our 10 year anniversary.

    Huntsham Court's reply:

    Dear Nicole.

    We are so pleased you had the best time celebrating your wedding here at Huntsham Court! Its always fabulous to hear that the guests were awestruck by the venue and the décor.

    We are sorry to hear that you didn’t feel some of the information was particularly clear. We do advertise our hire rates online, ensuring we are transparent in terms of the hire cost and what this includes from the very beginning. Any costs regarding optional extras like choosing to hire freelance staff, fire pits, adding extra portering moves, etc are discussed during the viewing and the initial stages of the booking. Plus, we make ourselves available throughout the booking / planning process to discuss any of these topics and assist with your queries at any time.

    With the inclusion of round tables, trestle tables, table linen, napkins, glassware, cutlery, crockery, cake stands, platters, wedding cake knives, candelabras, bar equipment, garden furniture, games and much more, we like to think we cover a lot of the necessities compared to the average dry hire venue.
    Hopefully, you were able to make good use of all of these items while celebrating at the venue.

    Obviously, we are thrilled to hear that the dry hire and corkage-free nature of Huntsham Court suited your plans. Being able to hand pick each supplier means each couple gets to create the wedding they had envisaged, rather than being tied to packages. The freedom to create your very own home-from-home experience is what sets us apart from other package venues and hotels, allowing couples to fully customise their stay in their own style.

    Its also lovey top hear that you had a fantastic experience with Laura from Kept weddings, one of the South Wests top freelance Event Managers! We are so lucky to work with such a wonderful group of independent planners in the local area. Their expertise and experience can be invaluable to those who need a little extra support during the planning process.

    From all of the team at Huntsham Court, we wish you every happiness together and we sincerely hope to see you back at the venue to celebrate your 10yr wedding anniversary.

    The most amazing wedding venue

    We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue than Huntsham Court for our wedding day. We were initially drawn to Huntsham Court due to the flexibility around suppliers, the no-corkage fee, and it's dog friendly! And when we went to view the venue we fell in love with it. Having a weekend wedding was perfect for us, and the fact the venue has so many bedrooms meant most of our guests stayed on site, which made it so convenient for our guests and allowed us to spend quality time with friends and family before, during and after the wedding without feeling rushed. We didn't need many decorations as the house is absolutely stunning. It's beautiful and grand, but at the same time warm, welcoming and cozy. Such an amazing atmosphere. Everything is super flexible (food, drinks, room layout, suppliers, dog friendly) which helped make it such a personal and unique day for us. The venue's wedding co-ordinator (Jenny) was amazing - she handled every aspect of the day flawlessly so we could relax and enjoy the day as we knew we were in good hands. Lots of the guests commented that it was the best wedding venue they've been to (and we agree!). Thank you Huntsham Court for an unforgettable and magical day!

    Huntsham Court's reply:

    Thank you Charlotte for taking the time to leave a review.
    Firstly, congratulations on your recent marriage!
    We are so pleased you had a fantastic wedding weekend, celebrating with your nearest and dearest.
    Its great to know that the venue's freedom and flexibility when it comes to no corkage, no packages and ability to hand select all suppliers meant your wedding unfolded exactly as you had hoped.
    We wish you every happiness on your journey as a married couple and we sincerely hope to see you back at the venue in the future.
    From all the team at Huntsham Court.

    Absolutely fantastic


    We recently celebrated our wedding at the breathtaking Huntsham Court, and it was, without a doubt, the best days of our lives. The venue itself is stunningly beautiful, and the staff were absolutely brilliant – friendly, fun, and attentive to every detail.

    Our wedding planner and coordinator, Laura, was an integral part of making our dreams come true. Her expertise and warm personality ensured everything ran smoothly and effortlessly. Laura collaborated perfectly with the Huntsham Court team, creating a seamless and memorable experience for everyone involved.

    At Huntsham Court, nothing was ever an issue or too much to ask. We were all made to feel incredibly special, and our guests had the best time ever. The picturesque location, combined with the opportunity to have guests stay for two nights, made the occasion even more magical.

    Laura brought her amazing ideas and meticulous planning, working hand-in-hand with the venue's outstanding staff to deliver perfection in every aspect. From the beautiful decor to the exquisite service, everything surpassed our expectations.

    If you're looking for the perfect collaboration between a wedding planner and a venue, Laura and Huntsham Court are the dream team. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting or a more dedicated team to work with.

    A heartfelt thank you to Laura and the entire Huntsham Court staff for giving us the most incredible experience. We’ll cherish these memories forever!

    Love you all!!!

    Perfect wedding venue

    Huntsham Court was the perfect wedding venue. The stunning mansion and beautiful gardens provided a magical setting. The staff were exceptional—professional, attentive, and made everything run smoothly. We loved the flexibility to personalise our day, and the luxurious rooms made it feel like a private getaway for us and our guests. The food was fantastic, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue.

    Huntsham Court's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words.
    It's always lovely hearing each couples personal experience of the venue. We love that the bedrooms stood out to you, they are one of our favourite features too!
    The fact that it felt like your own private retreat is music to our ears.
    The staff really are a wonderful team, so thank you for mentioning them. It really does put a spring in their step knowing their efforts made a difference.
    Congratulations on your recent wedding, we wish you every happiness on your next journey together as newlyweds!
    Best wishes, from all the Huntsham Court team x

    Booking Huntsham Court will be your best wedding decision

    Having the venue for the whole weekend was so special - from the Friday arrival through to Sunday checkout the team were so helpful and struck the right balance between being supportive and helping organise, to being "in the background" to make you feel relaxed in the space. A standout is the ability to have 100 people stay at the venue; this is unique. I would thoroughly recommend the whole team and venue for flexibility, professionalism and fun.

    Dream Weekend Wedding

    My partner and I spent months researching and viewing wedding venues in the south west that were an exclusive use venue for a weekend wedding. With many venues not quite having either enough bedrooms or character when we finally found Huntsham Court it completely blew us away and we knew we had to secure our date quick!

    Once we had secured our date Huntsham provided us with all the information we needed to start planning our wedding. We were able to visit the venue as much as we liked which really helped us visualise how we could have the venue set up for our event.

    One of the biggest selling points for us (apart from the stunning grounds, impressive state rooms and luxury bedrooms!) was the flexibility you have at Huntsham. We were able to bring in the suppliers we wanted, from our florist, photographer, bar hire and caterers. This helped us make our wedding one of a kind and not a ‘rinse and repeat’ wedding where you have to use in-house suppliers like many other venues we visited.

    Once we met our wedding planner Jenny with 6 months before the day the ball really got rolling with all the finer details and planning the logistics of the weekend. Jenny thought of everything, giving us extra ideas and things we hadn’t even considered to make sure it was an unforgettable weekend for us and our guests.

    The staff at Huntsham were also fantastic, they were incredibly friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Again the flexibility of being able to use Huntsham staff as much or as little as you like throughout your event was a great help to us.

    We mean it when we say, it was the BEST weekend of our lives and it’s all thanks to the incredible venue, staff and suppliers. Our guests throughout the weekend were blown away constantly commenting it was the best wedding they’d ever been to. We couldn’t recommend Huntsham Court enough for a wedding or event of any kind, it’s just bittersweet we may never be able to visit this stunning venue again.

    P&M
