Wedding of our dreams!

Jodie and the team at Highfield were absolutely incredible in helping to organise our dream wedding weekend. We hired the venue from Friday lunchtime through to Sunday and were made to feel like royalty for the duration of our stay. We started the weekend with a BBQ for close friends and family on the Friday evening - unfortunately it poured it down with rain so we had to relocate inside - this was however no trouble at all and the staff changed up the grand hall into a beautiful dining room complete with candles and music.

Jodie and the team at Highfield were absolutely incredible in helping to organise our dream wedding weekend. We hired the venue from Friday lunchtime through to Sunday and were made to feel like royalty for the duration of our stay. We started the weekend with a BBQ for close friends and family on the Friday evening - unfortunately it poured it down with rain so we had to relocate inside - this was however no trouble at all and the staff changed up the grand hall into a beautiful dining room complete with candles and music. The salt beef was some of the best i have ever eaten and the prawns were huge!! All of our guests were looked after by the bar staff afterwards as we all enjoyed a few drinks in the parlour.

On our wedding day, Vicki and the team were on hand to make sure that everyone had everything that they needed - including extra hash browns for the bridesmaids! Again, the rain meant that we couldn't have the outdoor ceremony that we had hoped for but this was no problem - the Grand Hall became the most beautiful room i have ever seen and the staff were so quick to organise our guests.

Throughout the rest of the day, the team at Highfield could not do enough for us, whether this was ensuring that the bride and groom had a drink or wiping down Groomsmen and Bridesmaids after a spilt drink or two! The team were absolutely fantastic and were on a first name basis with a lot of guests by the end of the weekend. Special thanks go to Abbie, Harvey and Charlotte and also to Vicki who is a literal wonderwoman!!

Our wedding breakfast meal was some of the tastiest food we have eaten and despite having nearly 80 guests, the staff ensured that everyone was fed and kept topped up with drinks as a priority. So many guests have complimented our menu and commented on the standard of the food being incredible!

We cannot thank Highfield enough for everything that they have done for us and feel genuinely honoured to have been able to spend our wedding weekend with them.

If you are thinking about booking your wedding at Highfield, do it! It will be the best decision you have ever made!!

Gorgeous venue and helpful stuff

We had a brilliant wedding day at Highfield House. It’s a gorgeous venue and the staff were so helpful on the day, responding to issues such and my hair stylist not showing up for an hour and managing to source and alternative quickly. This made all of the difference to the day. They were very flexible with what we wanted, giving us many options or the freedom to make our own specific requests. There weren’t any hidden costs later either besides some things for styling. I would definitely recommend booking here for your wedding.

The Highfield House's reply:

Hi Sophie

Thank you for your fabulous feedback!! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your special day here with us at The Highfield House.

Amazing!! Will be recommending to everyone!

Wow wow wow, we had an amazing day! I can’t fault anything about the day! From the front of house staff, to the chefs and the cleaners everyone couldn’t have done enough for us and our guests! Shout out to Jodie for being so amazing and helping out with all the details she really made the wedding planning process and the day run so smoothly.
We visited Highfield for a Sunday dinner over a year and a half ago and knew once we drove up the drive that we had to get married here, every detail has been done to such a high standard.
We can’t wait to come back time and time again.
Thank you again...

A magical marriage venue

Highfield House hosted our wedding in March 2024 and made our big day so special. Jodie was highly responsive and accommodating of our requests in the run-up to the day, and incredibly supportive on the day itself. All the staff were professional, courteous, warm and friendly, and added to the magic of the occasion. The venue is astounding - the interior decor is breathtaking and the grounds are beautiful. The food and drink were top-class, too. Highly recommended as a wedding venue. Have your ceremony in the Great Hall for a touch of grandeur and be sure to have photos taken down by the lake.

Pure Magic

It's been two months since we got married at Highfield House and it really was pure magic from start to finish!

From the very first visit we knew it was the venue for us - there is nothing like it in our local area, such a unique place and I said it felt like walking around my brain. It was everything we had been looking for! Lindsey and Andy have really made this place beautiful from top to bottom.

Jodie (events manager) was on hand throughout the whole journey to help us with anything we needed and really made our wedding experience so enjoyable. She is the warmest soul, a pure joy to work with and made us feel so at ease on the day and during the build up. Every time we visited Highfield before the wedding for drinks or even just a meeting, she made us feel like old friends - so comfortable and relaxed.

Charlotte (bar manager) was also an absolute dream to work with. So brilliant at her job - very accommodating with our requests and the cocktails were amazing! She also came to me at one point during the day and gave me the cork from the first bottle that was popped after we were married - such a special moment, so thoughtful and had me in tears of joy.

Vicki was also brilliant! On hand the day before and all day for anything we needed - a true professional! Vicki is also an amazing florist and did the flowers for our big day - making our vision come to life so perfectly. If you are getting married at Highfield, we would highly recommend booking Vicki to be your florist, you absolutely won't regret it!

We had so many compliments from our guests on the day and afterwards about how beautiful the venue was, how gorgeous the food tasted and how brilliant all of the staff were!

Special mention to Lily - after booking Highfield for our wedding, we visited for a stay on the year-to-the-day pre anniversary. Lily was working that night and was such a ray of sunshine. She made her first cocktail at the venue and served it to me nervously but she needn't have been worried as it was absolutely delicious! So delicious that we included it on the cocktail menu for our big day. Even more special, Lily was outside the Great Hall after our wedding ceremony to greet us with our very first drink as newlyweds. An absolute star and a credit to Highfield!

Nothing we could write could ever explain how amazing our wedding day at Highfield was and we cannot wait to come back every year for our anniversary.

Exceeded our expectations.

We didn't know much about Highfield when we booked to go and look around the first time. It ended up being one of the first venues we went to see, and after that initial visit no other venue compared in our minds. The building itself is stunning and so unlike anything else we had seen (or would see). Each has its own unique theme, and it is so well decorated. We were blown away by the tour we were taken on. And to be honest when we left, every venue we saw after that, my wife came away saying "...well, it's no Highfield". The grounds are stunning, and despite being off a main round once you’re inside you could...

And to be honest when we left, every venue we saw after that, my wife came away saying "...well, it's no Highfield". The grounds are stunning, and despite being off a main round once you’re inside you could be miles away from the nearest people.

Jodie, the events manager at Highfield, is an absolute credit to the team there. She is so so so good at her job. It cannot be overstated how much she helped us to pull off a wedding from that first meeting to the day itself (in less than 9 months, I might add), she was there every step of the way. She helped us to focus on the things that mattered most to us, and to save time and money by not having the things that we weren't interesting in. They have wedding packages, but that was more of a guide because everything we got was customised to what we wanted/ needed from our day. Even down to the menu, which we were able to include traditional India food for the fussy eaters on my wife's side. Jodie did so much for us, and she was as much a part of our special day as the best men and bridesmaids. From day 1, she did everything she could to make our dream a reality, and then some – she suggested things we had never even considered.

On the wedding day, the three things that every one of our guests commented on were:
1. The venue is stunning
2. The staff here are so friendly and helpful
3. This food is incredible

And they were all correct. They took care of every detail, every thing we wanted was seen to, no matter how big or small. It was all so well organised – we were able to just enjoy our day and not have to worry about anything else. The kitchen did an amazing job, especially with the additions we made to their set menu. Months on and I’m still being told it was the best sticky toffee pudding they’ve ever had.

Do yourselves a favour and book an appointment with Jodie – you won’t regret it!

P.S. Ask to try the milk punch!

Amazing wedding venue!

We recently had our wedding at The Highfield and all I can say is wow! It’s a stunning venue, the staff are lovely and went above and beyond for us on the day and the food was excellent. I especially loved all of the personal touches such as naming the cocktails after us and creating a bespoke drinks menu for the day. They were flexible during the planning stages and on the day to ensure that we had the wedding day we wanted. I would 100% recommend The Highfield.

An incredible wedding party at an incredible venue

We recently had our wedding party at Highfield, and the day could not have been any more perfect. Everything went so smoothly, and so much of that is due to the awesome Highfield team. Jodie was amazing at helping us realise our vision for the day- and on the day itself along with Charlotte, Vicki and the incredible Highfield team delivered an absolutely seamless experience. All of our guests have been telling us how amazing the day was, how fantastic the staff were, how tasty the food was, and how much they love Highfield itself!

We fell in love with the house from the moment we saw it, and being able to celebrate our wedding in such an amazing space still blows our minds. The owners Andrew & Lindsey have made this house & grounds into something truly special.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to all of the team at Highfield, you're all amazing & made our celebrations something absolutely out of this world.

Married here 14/10/23

We had our wedding at Highfield at the day was perfect from start to finish. Jodie the wedding co-ordinated is fantastic. She was involved from our first enquiry with Highfield and throughout the day. Nothing was too much trouble and Jodie was so accommodating of all our requests. As soon as we walked into the venue over a year ago I knew this was the place for us after viewing multiple other local venues. Highfield is so classy and charming. All our guests also fell in love with Highfield as soon as they walked through the door. My only wish would be to do it all over again!

The venue’s wedding coordinator helped along the way. I have to say we have had good feedback from our suppliers as well, as they liked working with the venue. We truly have no regrets, would not change a thing! We had our dream wedding and we will be forever grateful to The Highfield.
