Perfect Wedding Venue

We recently got married at Sparth House at the end of August and had the most perfect day thanks to Emma, Katie, Olivia and the rest of the staff there - we honestly can't thank them enough.

We booked our wedding 8 months before the big day and had just popped to one of the open evenings for a nosy round - it was the first venue we had been to look at but as soon as we walked through the door, we knew it was the one and decided to pencil in a date that evening.

The whole process of booking and planning our wedding went so smoothly and was made completely stress free. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and professional throughout. Emma was our wedding planner and despite the fact that she must plan a lot of different weddings, she always made us feel like our day was so important to her. We thought it was brilliant that we could Whatsapp any questions over and Emma would be so speedy with her responses. It really felt like everyone at Sparth House genuinely wanted us to have the best day. We loved the fact that it is a family run/owned business and there was a real care to how they look after the wedding couples, customers and guests.

On the day, everything went to plan and we had an amazing time. It felt really well organised and the staff kept the day running really smoothly. The canapes, wedding breakfast and evening food were all fantastic. I have quite a number of food intolerances and Sparth House were incredibly accommodating with this - they had the chef look over my dietary requirements and we had plenty of discussions over how the menu could be tweaked and what food could be prepared specifically for me to ensure I still had plenty to eat.

We had several comments from our guests about how lovely Sparth House was, how professional and friendly the staff were and how nothing was too much trouble, as well as how good the food was.

Thank you to everyone at Sparth House that made our wedding day so special - I wish we could do it all again!

Everything about this place is AMAZING

Well I had my day 10th August 2024, special shout out to Emma (particularly Emma), Katie, Olivia and Meghan!! You guys rock! In fact all of the people at Sparth House do!
From the first show around, which is immense, to the day itself I cannot say anything but good things, no question is stupid, and they are super quick to respond.
If you are sitting on the fence, get an appointment booked!!! These guys know what they are doing!
So you are always invited to check in with them, they did a little party for future bride and grooms which is ace, because I booked this place with my heart, not my head, and didn't have time to go back on the wedding and wine Wednesday's (I think thats what they are called) and I fell in love all over again!
The taster meal was immense!!!!

The night before you get the garden apartment and OMG its amazing, the food is stunning - yes they feed you, and there is ample space for all you bridesmaids to get ready! The hot Lips phone is there for any questions or requests you may have. They add little personal touches, that make it feel so special!
Both My MUA and Hair Stylist said it looks stunning from the outside, its beyond impressive both in and out! The breakfast is also stunning!

Emma is lovely, and one of the nicest people you could wish to help make your day perfect!! I commented at one point, OMG its like hearding cats, her response was dont worry I will sort it!

There are no words. I cannot express how amazing this venue is!

I honestly don’t know where to start. Sparth House will always have a piece of our hearts!

On walking through the front door it was instantly welcoming, the house is stunning and has been beautifully decorated in keeping with the history of the building yet has a luxury feel to it. It felt like it fitted us as a couple perfectly and had everything we wanted for our day including a gorgeous outdoor space for the children to run wild and guests to relax in.

The garden apartment is an extra special treat, it truly kicked off the celebrations for myself and my bridal party. We were treated like royalty and didn’t want for anything while there. We had a sneaky view of the bride from the day before waiting to walk down the aisle which made it really exciting and on the morning of the wedding we could see the groomsmen and guests arriving, enjoying our sax player which we could hear from the ceremony room below. Our daughters loved it so much especially having their own room with bunk beds!

Emma was our wedding coordinator and she is nothing short of incredible. Nothing was too much to ask and she organised our day with such care and attention to detail. She looked after us so well on the day, if there was anything we needed Emma had already done it!

In true Sparth house fashion though it was a family affair, Olivia was there to reapply my lipstick and practice my walk before going down the aisle, Katie was on hand in the evening keeping some of our rowdy guests in check! An not forgetting Callum who made us the most delicious canapés, wedding breakfast and evening BBQ food which our guests absolutely raved about!

The whole team of staff on the day were extremely professional, coordinated, dedicated and friendly. Lots of our guests praised the staff as they felt they were treated extremely well throughout the day.

The bedrooms are beautiful, each decorated with a different vibe to give guests a different experience. The bridal suite is just stunning, I wish we could have spent more time in there. It was the perfect place to have a breather after the wedding breakfast.

The following morning was such a lovely touch having breakfast with all of our guests that stayed over. It was a great ending to a fabulous weekend, talking about all of the details and memories made from our day. We got to really soak up the love and appreciation from our nearest and dearest before saying our goodbyes to each guest.

We had the most magical time at Sparth House, after 16 years of dreaming of our day, it absolutely surpassed our expectations. We can’t thank you all enough for putting your hearts into making our day so special. We will be forever grateful for the memories xx

The best wedding venue we could have ever wished for!

I don’t think I could write enough about how amazing Sparth House is! From my co-ordinator Katie, plus Emma and Olivia, to all the team, they really made our day magical. We booked two years in advance and any questions I had during that time Katie or one of the team were always on hand to help! There was never a silly question (and trust me I had a few!) They even helped me keep organised with the wedding toolkit, which really helped me keep my head focused and organised!

The day itself was perfect, everyone in our bridal party and even guests commented on how organised and on it the team were. All our guest commented on how beautiful Sparth House is as well. From the garden apartment the night before to the most amazing bridal suite, I just honestly cannot explain how amazing the venue was. Me and my bridal party had the best night before, with perfect sleepover vibes, the most amazing brownies and pizza! Then in the morning a fab breakfast spread to make sure we had some sustenance for getting down the aisle. Then there’s all the little extra touches you can add into the day like the ring for fizz wall and the gin bar! All our guests have commented on how amazing the venue was.

They always made sure we were in the right place at the right time throughout the day, and nothing was ever too much. The venue alone is stunning and each room has its own style and uniqueness, but the team and everyone who runs the show behind the scenes is really what makes it extra special. You don’t feel like another couple coming through the door, it really felt like ours for the day and we could not have asked for a more perfect venue and wedding day!

Sparth House - a truly special wedding venue

Sparth House is a truly special place for a wedding. From the moment we came for a viewing, we knew it was 'the one'.

The team have wedding planning down to a fine art, and are flexible and responsive. Every detail was carefully considered, which makes a huge difference on the day. There was a high level of engagement between ourselves and the venue from day one and we loved the invitations to the venue for tasting days, viewings and launch parties. It all helped us to plan our wedding and get excited about the big day!

We were delighted with every element of our wedding day - the beautiful interior, the amazing food, the impeccable service, delicious drinks, and wonderful, helpful staff.

Thank you to Katie, Emma, Callum and Olivia for creating a magical wedding day. It really was the best day of our lives.

We cannot recommend this venue enough. Sparth House genuinely deserves a five star rating.

Truly the most incredible venue

We had our wedding at Sparth House on 28 July 2023 and all we can say is wow! From the first time seeing the venue we knew it’d be where we would get married, it is simply a magical place.

The garden apartment that is there to stay in the night before and get ready in the morning of is simply stunning, it was so lovely to be in one place and get ready and have a peek out the windows to see guests arriving.

The venue itself is just simply beautiful, so many photo opportunities and all our guests commented on how amazing it is. They have recently renovated the bar area and bridal suite as well as some guests rooms to make the place even better than it already was.

There are no words for how amazing the staff are! Our wedding planner Katie was simply incredible and there for me any time when I had questions, always reassuring me and making sure the whole day ran smoothly, not one single thing went wrong! All of the staff will make you feel like royalty, the service is impeccable! They are so professional, polite and caring, always checking everything was okay and if we needed anything.

The food was simply delicious, from the taster day we knew it was going to be good but they really did do amazing on the day and all our guests loved it to.

If I could get married again I would have the exact same wedding at Sparth House and I am so glad we picked this amazing venue for our special day, they truly made it the best day ever.

Amazing! The perfect wedding venue.

The most stunning venue. Every little detail has been thought out by the team here, its second to none. They have a beautiful garden apartment to stay the night before with your bridesmaids and it is absolutely perfect. The rooms throughout the venue are absolutely stunning, the food was delicious, the grounds are stunning too. We could not have picked a better place to enjoy one of the best days our life. All of our guests commented on how wonderful this venue was and we couldn't agree more. Olivia, Katie and Emma (and the rest of the SH team) are the best.

More than perfect...

Our wedding day ran without any hiccups, the smooth transitions, didn't feel like anything was forced, reception, wedding breakfast, evenining transition. It was effortless.
Katie, Olivia, Emma are a fab team, but on the day you see so many other members of the team, that really do make a special impact of the day. The little things - no long queues at the bar... hahah no one wants to wait for a drink and especially at a wedding. The formula at spartg House is perfect and if you choose this venue, you will not be disappointed, I can walk in a room and 99% can be perfect and I will see that one fault.... and for the first time in my life, I could not find a fault....
Thank you all for helping to make our day perfect.

Amazing venue!!!

Where do I start? I have struggled to find the words to describe just how amazing this venue is!!
I first came across Olivia and Katie when they were doing wine & live chats online during lockdown where they spoke everything weddings! I could tell straight away how dedicated they both were to their jobs and how their main goal was to ensure couples wedding’s were perfect.
When we looked around the venue, we knew straight away we had found the one! It really is a hidden Gem!
We cannot put into words just how perfect and amazing our day was! All the planning and organising was made so easy because of Olivia and all her help and advice. I could email whenever I had a query or was panicking over something, and she always got back to me with reassurance when I needed it. Every little detail was thought of, and the girls worked so hard to help our day run so smoothly! Nothing was too much trouble… Olivia even ran to get my lipgloss mid photos because i had forgot to put it on!
All our decorations where set out perfectly and the whole venue looked stunning and just how we imagined it!
The wedding breakfast was delicious and enjoyed by everyone, and the evening food was amazing too! The breakfast the day after was also brilliant and the room was set up for us and our guests beautifully with all our flowers.
We cannot thank all the team at Sparth house enough for giving us the day of our dreams! We want to do it all again!

Our Christmas / New Years wedding! 30.12.21

We had the most perfect day from the night before In the garden apartment with my bridesmaids… all the way through the wedding day & evening… and breakfast the following day!
Guests complimented on the lovely venue, food and staff! The cheesecake is to die for!
It suited exactly what we were looking for in a venue; family run, perfect size, gorgeous guest bedrooms, minimal but stylish decor that you can dress to suit any theme and beautiful grounds.

Thank you for all of your help with planning our day and we wish we could do it all again 🤍

Nick and Carrie's wedding day

We originally chose Sparth House because at the time they were the only one offering the kind of wedding we wanted. We also lived in the area and loved the idea of getting married in our local town. It's a beautiful building, full of character.

The day was magical, Katie our wedding planner is a gem, nothing was too much trouble. Her calming influence and lovely smile just made it all the more special, my four year old Grandson took a shine to her too. Emma, was just brilliant, all the staff were a credit to the Sparth House. If you want the personal touch you won't go far wrong. It was a perfect chilled out wedding, which was just the vibe we wanted.

Book this venue

Sparth House was only the 2nd venue myself and my now husband visited and on the drive home we had already decided it was going to be OUR venue.
Olivia, Katie and the whole SH team were absolutely incredible from start to finish. Our wedding was really chilled and I was really laid back throughout the planning process - which was probably a nightmare for Olivia and Katie! - but nothing was ever any trouble.
Our day went off without any problems and the team were so accommodating. I chose to spend the night before the wedding in the Garden Apartment with my Mum and bridesmaids and everything from the decor to the food and drinks was amazing and it was a really relaxing way to start the wedding day. Our make up artist and photographer kept commenting on how lovely the space was and we all really appreciated everyone coming to check on us (me) throughout the morning.
We had brought a 'Welcome' sign with us and it was so small that it looked ridiculous on the normal easel SH provided that when I walked past it after our ceremony, I laughed at how cheap we had been to not get a bigger one and said it looked silly... later that day I went for photographs with my husband, I noticed the sign had been put on a smaller easel and it was just little things like that which made the day amazing.
Oh my god - the food! Pizza and breakfast in the Garden Apartment, the wedding breakfast, the evening food, the breakfast the day after?! Everything was incredible and all of our guests commented on how good everything was. We attended a taster day and I'm glad we had already picked our food because it would've been so difficult to decide afterwards because everything was so delicious!
I'm waxing lyrical now but basically BOOK THIS VENUE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. We loved our Sparth House wedding and would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
