A dream wedding venue

It’s been a few months since our wedding at Stockton House, and it’s still difficult to put into words how truly incredible this venue and its team really are.

We visited nearly 20 venues across the Midlands before making our choice, and the Stockton House team were by far the most welcoming, caring and professional group of people we encountered.

Amy, Ellie, Tom, M&S and the rest of the team were fantastic on the run up to our wedding and went above and beyond to ensure our day ran as smoothly as possible. They remembered so many tiny personal details that made us feel so special on the day - we don’t believe any other venue would ever take this much care in getting to know their couples.

From the incredible food, beautiful decor and wonderful team, if our day is anything to go by, you will not be disappointed when choosing Stockton House for your wedding venue!

Incredible venue

Stockton House is the most incredible wedding venue.

We signed up to have our wedding at Stockton House when it was an abandoned house, a number of vision boards and the simple concept of ‘your wedding your way’.

Everything about the venue is amazing, from the location, the decor, the grounds and most importantly the team who look after you and your guests.

If you are looking for a wedding venue where you plan the day exactly how you want, Stockton House is your venue.

Amy and Ellie are the perfect duo to help you plan your day (or, as we had, a wedding weekend). They listen to your ideas, bring them to life and provide valuable input to add to them. On the day, they cannot do enough for you and your guests.

Tom, the chef, is honestly the best. He helped us design the most perfect menu for the whole weekend. The icing on the cake was him making a ‘sticky toffee tiramisu’ which was a big hit!

Finally, no review would be complete without mentioning the wonderful Mandy and Sue, who work tirelessly to make sure everything runs smoothly.

If you are looking for the perfect wedding venue, we cannot recommend Stockton House and the team enough.

Stunning in every way!

Stunning property, gorgeous views, beautiful bedrooms and general accommodation, incredibly nice, sweet, polite and helpful staff. Made the entire process of wedding planning and execution seamless! Amy & Ellie were amazing and incredibly helpful through each step of making our dream celebrations come to life! Could not have picked a better venue and could not have asked for a better team! Loved every minute of it!

Amy even helped me by putting the laces on my trainers when my feet in heels started to kill me. To say the service was above and beyond is an understatement!

How do you review perfect?

How do I begin this review, the truth is I've re-written it so many times I've lost count. We got married on the 22/10/22 - My bridal party and the groomsmen all got ready in the house, we had plenty of food and drinks throughout the morning and nothing was too much trouble. We married in the ON SITE church which was perfect and when we were all done we had drinks waiting for us.

Everything I had worried about melted away when we saw our guests enjoying the beautiful house and surroundings. Not one guest had a negative word to say. In the days after our wedding everyone has commented how truly wonderful, accommodating and friendly all the staff were. Including some of our external vendors!

My favourite thing may have been walking through the house to see that one the servers pouring my two young cousins tea and putting on posh voices, indulging them totally as 'big girls'

I have been a pretty big pain I'm sure mostly everyone will agree, with weird demands that I think everyone was probably sick of by the time we got to the day, but Amy & Marc agreed to everything I asked and wanted with the word no being totally off limits.

We had the most amazing day and I hate that it's all over, but I love that I now have the amazing memories of a perfect day.

To everyone at Stockton, but mainly to Amy, thank you for putting up with me and making my day EVERYTHING I ever wanted. I hope you know we will 100% be back whenever you have open days.
