From the get-go we knew we loved Saltmarshe Hall. We had been viewing other venues but none of them ticked the boxes like this one, even boxes we didn't know we had! It has beautiful grounds, a fabulous mix of contemporary and classic decor and a vast array of period features to centre photographs around, including the walled gardens, Lime Tree Ave. and that incredible curving staircase in the atrium.
Amy couldn't do enough for us and was with us through every step of the planning, the meal choices and table plan, the taster evening and making time for our check-ins during the lead up to the event. She spent the whole two days corralling wayward guests and organising our outside suppliers, ensuring both myself and my new bride had everything we could possibly need, usually before we even asked for it.
All the staff were wonderful, exceeding all possible expectations. The pool party and barbeque the day before were lovely and the cooked breakfast really set myself and the guests up for the big day in the morning (bride had delicious fruit and pastries in the bridal suite whilst getting ready with the bridal party).
All the food was exceptional, far exceeding our expectations of wedding catering from previous experience as wedding guests, the three choices presenting excellent value for money (definitely go for that!). The canapes were delicious and a selection was brought to us separately, allowing us a quiet few minutes away from the hustle and bustle together before the next round of photographs.
Everything ran so smoothly and we just went with the flow, our trust in the staff and venue well-rewarded. It's true what married folks tell you: it goes so fast after so much planning: it really is over in a heartbeat, but I wouldn't change a thing about it, even the hour of rain we had in the evening reception didn't dampen any spirits, as the venue had ample space inside, and the covered patio was heated and comfortable.
We honestly can't recommend this venue highly enough. You may find something cheaper in your search but cheap doesn't always mean value for money. You will have peace of mind with a booking at Saltmarshe Hall, and for the most important day of your life you need all the support you can get so that you can focus on simply enjoying yourselves and spending time with the people you love. -

A Fairytale Wedding
A huge thank you to Ashleigh and the incredible team at Saltmarshe Hall for making our wedding day a dream come true. From our first tour, we knew Saltmarshe Hall was the perfect place for both our ceremony and reception. The grounds are beautiful and the venue is tucked away in a peaceful, secluded setting that immediately captured our hearts.
Throughout the planning process, Ashleigh and the team were outstanding, making everything feel effortless. They helped us at every step of the way, answering all our questions and ensuring no detail was overlooked. On our wedding day, we were able to completely relax as the team handled coordination with our vendors and setting up our decorations. Seeing our ceremony space for the first time took my breath away, and I was moved to tears when we saw our wedding breakfast table – it was beyond perfect.
If you're keen on having amazing food at your wedding, Saltmarshe Hall is the place to be. We requested a fully vegan menu, and the chef exceeded all our expectations. The food was phenomenal, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! Saltmarshe Hall made our day truly unforgettable, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their incredible hospitality and attention to detail. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a gorgeous venue with a dedicated team.
Much love xxxx

Thank you so so much to Ashleigh, Amy and the whole Saltmarsh team for making our whole wedding experience so amazingly relaxed and for giving us the most magical wedding we could have ever asked for.
We came to Saltmarshe Hall after a drive with my parents when we were discussing where we might like to host our special day and decided to come visit the hall as we were 15 minutes away and thought we might be able to see what it looked like from the outside. We arrived at the hall and from the second we stepped in the building we were greeted by Ashleigh who on the off chance had time to give us a quick tour. After looking around with her after 20 minutes we instantly knew that Saltmarshe Hall had to be our choice. After looking at other venues online we couldn't stop thinking about how this had to be the venue for where we got married. We booked the venue and were so so excited to start planning.
The planning for the day was made so much easier and less stressful by the amazing team who were always so helpful and would respond to all of our questions and worries. We were always told how stressful wedding planning could be but the team at Saltmarshe made it so simple.
When it came to the day we were so grateful to the team as they took every stress and worry of our shoulders. The team are so professional and made the whole day run like clockwork. Not only was the venue absolutely beautiful but everyone was so relaxed and had the best time. Everything looked and felt so much more magical then we ever imagined it would but it was completely us and felt so special. We felt so looked after and really enjoyed that the people that we spent a year and a half planning with were there to spend the day with us. Everything was thought about even down to being there for holding our champagne while we were having our photos taken.
We are so grateful to the whole team and would one hundred percent recommend getting married here. Getting married at Saltmarshe was truly the most special day of our lives and we wouldn't have changed a thing. -

From first reaching out to Saltmarshe Hall about booking a potential wedding at their stunning venue we were met with nothing but kindness and professionalism.
After looking around at one of their wedding fayre’s we knew we just couldn’t get married anywhere else. The hall its self is just beautiful, with the option of having ceremony’s outside which is an added bonus as these areas are just as gorgeous and well maintained.
On the day of the wedding I was put at ease by our coordinator Ashleigh, who is so experienced in what she does. Nothing is too much to ask, she is so lovely and just the kind of person you need in charge on your wedding day. I had my heart set on getting married outside but unfortunately the weather was not on our side, but the way the ceremony room was set up for the ceremony (and the whole day) I was no longer disheartened after seeing it.
The food was absolutely delicious, since the wedding everyone has commented on the food and said they have never had food as good at a wedding.
The selection of drinks available at the bar as well - amazing!
The rooms available for guests to stay in have also been finished to a very high standard with the price including breakfast together the following morning, again absolutely lovely.
Everything ran so smoothly, all the staff at Saltmarshe were so kind and helpful, to give context my daughter misplaced her teddy every one of them helped us find it, so nothing really is too much to ask.
Saltmarshe has had a special place in my heart from being a little girl and walking around the grounds with my Dad, so having our wedding here has just made it all that bit more special to me. I can’t thank Ashleigh and the team enough you really are all amazing at what you do and I wish I could do it all over again!!!
Best wishes

Highly recommend.
We had the most incredible day at Saltmarshe Hall; it was all we wanted and more.
From the first communication until the day (and during) Ash, Amy and their team were so attentive, understanding and professional.
Nothing was a problem to them, they advised us well to ensure that the day ran smoothly and it paid off!
Saltmarshe Hall is a beautiful venue and catered for all of our needs.
The food was perfect and the choices were endless.
We can’t thank them enough. -

The most amazing day ever!
We got married at Saltmarshe Hall in May 2024 after it had been booked for almost 2 and a half years. Saltmarshe was the first venue we looked at and to be honest I’m not sure why we actually went to look at anywhere else because we made our mind up on the way home! It truly is a beautiful venue and it felt like home as soon as we walked in!
The team at Saltmarshe are incredible, nothing was too much to ask and our day ran perfectly from the pre-wedding party the night before, all the way through to leaving the morning after the wedding.
Amy and Ashleigh the wedding coordinators are both absolutely amazing and no stone was left unturned when we were going through our day at our pre wedding meetings. A special shout out to Amy who was our main contact, she was amazing from start to finish, it genuinely felt like when we left she was more of a friend! Any worries or concerns we had, she sorted immediately, even to the point where she came to the rescue during our speeches to take our then 11 week old baby who was getting bored!! We trusted the team 110% and had no worries about anything on the day because of this.
The venue really is stunning but it speaks for itself all you need to do is go and look round. The food is wonderful and even at a big wedding (113) it was still such high quality.
Saltmarshe will now always be our special place and we will definitely continue to visit!
Thank you for giving us the best day ever! -

Abigail H. Sent on 09/09/2024The wedding weekend that dreams are made of!
I’m not sure that we’ll ever be able to put into words our gratitude to Ashleigh, Amy and the entire time at Saltmarshe Hall for all that they all put into our wedding and everything leading up to it, but we will try our best...
From our first visit to Saltmarshe for a show round we know we’d found somewhere very special. Its rural, river-side setting is unmatched by any of the other venues we visited local to our respective family homes in Yorkshire and the Cotswolds, with its totally enchanting grounds and gardens, spending time there is nothing short of magical. The Hall itself has been so sympathetically and comfortably restored, we were really impressed by how the elegance of its original Georgian features is complemented by relaxed modern interior decoration and furnishing, all of which we knew would require very little dressing up at all for the wedding, which is exactly what we wanted. We therefore couldn’t believe our luck where we were able to book our wedding and a post-wedding pool party over an August Bank Holiday weekend.
Despite this, It’s fair to say that I was initially very reluctant when it came to wedding planning, having been through a really stressful time around booking the wedding and thereafter, we were feeling really anxious about it. We therefore hadn’t really engaged at all with Saltmarshe Hall or in wedding planning (and had booked nothing) when we were invited to our first details meeting, six months before the wedding. So, in a panic, I called and explained our situation to Ashleigh and I’m so glad that I did as I instantly felt better — she couldn’t have been more understanding, caring and reassuring. This was a huge turning point for us and we were finally able to start feeling more excited than worried — I will always be so very grateful to her for that.
We first met Ashleigh in person at our first details meeting, which we left knowing we were in the most capable hands possible — we trusted her entirely. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and to help us catch up with anything we’d missed. She, Amy and their chef even organised an extra tasting evening for us, which we enjoyed so very much. The food was not only delicious but presented with such care and attention to detail, including the dish the chef had made specially at our request. (We thought there was absolutely no way that it could possibly be as good on the day, but, spoiler alert, if anything, it was even better!) Throughout the months leading up to the wedding, no request we made, no matter how big or small, was ever too much for Ashleigh, who was always on hand to help and, we really felt, couldn’t have been more invested in us or our wedding day. She is truly one in a million and we couldn’t feel more lucky to have been able to work with her.
From start to finish, Ashleigh, Amy and the Saltmarshe team ran our wedding to absolute perfection. They were always ten steps ahead, anticipating and being prepared for every possible eventuality, planned or otherwise. This meant that we were able to be totally in present in the moment with our guests (and I am not someone who switches off easily) and make the most of every single second. Ever since the wedding, our guests have also had no end of compliments for Saltmarshe Hall and loved it for all the reasons we did and more. It would therefore be impossible to note everything that impressed us and them over the weekend (the list would go on forever), but just a few of the highlights include: the friendly front of house staff who looked after everyone and couldn’t have done enough for us; the absolutely delicious and beautifully presented food, which was enjoyed by everyone regardless of their dietary requirements; how well my Mum was accommodated as a wheelchair user; the impeccably kept grounds and gardens; the sheer peace and quiet of its location that made us and our guests feel like we were in our little world… Our only complaint is that we can’t do it all over again!
I cannot stress enough how our expectations have been beyond exceeded by Saltmarshe Hall and every single member of its exceptional team, we are beyond grateful to them all, and especially Ashleigh, for giving us and our guests the wedding weekend that dreams are made of — thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
We look forward to taking every opportunity to come back and spend more time at Saltmarshe Hall and with the team in the future, and we wouldn’t be surprised if we had a number of our very impressed guests in tow! -

We recently celebrated our wedding at Saltmarshe Hall in March this year, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue. From start to finish, the staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional, making the entire experience unforgettable. A special thank you to Ashleigh, whose attention to detail and impeccable organisation sold us on the venue from the very beginning. Her dedication ensured everything ran smoothly, and we felt completely taken care of.
We hosted 96 guests across both Friday and Saturday with exclusivity, and the entire weekend was a dream. The Hall itself is stunning, with its amazing bones and features that have been sympathetically decorated to enhance the elegance of the space. The neutral backdrop allows you to create any atmosphere or colour theme you desire, making it versatile for any vision you have in mind. Which made it a perfect choice for me.
I highly recommend Saltmarshe Hall to anyone planning a special event. We can’t wait to return for a weekend stay! A massive thank you to Ashleigh and the entire team for making our day so magical. -
