Wedding in the snow at the Mansion House, Wakehurst Place

Winter Wedding in the Mansion, Wakehurst Place

"I had my wedding reception here at Wakehurst place. It was an amazing day thanks to everyone at Wakehurst. The venue and the grounds are spectacular. The staff were all really friendly and helpful down to the last detail. This venue is highly recommended for anyone’s special day!" Georgina and Carl Sherrin

"As soon as we visited Wakehurst we knew it was the perfect setting for our wedding. Once we had booked it the organisers were incredibly helpful in getting everything together, including some very last-minute changes to the guest-list! We wanted to do a few things ourselves, and Wakehurst were very accommodating about this where other venues would not have been. The food and drink were both excellent, receiving a lot of praise from our guests. Wakehurst may look grand (it looks great in our wedding pictures!), but we felt the day was very relaxed and intimate, which was exactly what we wanted. Thank you very much for a perfect day." Isabelle and Karl Zurmac

"We wanted a simple, relaxed and personal Civil Ceremony with a bit of style and Wakehurst provided this in abundance. The Mansion House is absolutely beautiful, with views out onto the lawn and gardens. We would highly recommend Wakehurst Place for a wedding. The venue’s setting as well as the events team helped make it the most perfect day." Claire and Tom Mackrell

"We were planning this wedding from abroad but had no problems at all. It was a breeze. The staff were all lovely. They took care of everything and we enjoyed a stress-free and wonderful time with our guests. The Mansion is such a beautiful house and the grounds are just amazing. Our photographer was very excited about photographing our wedding at this beautiful venue. We had so many lovely photographs. The food and service were excellent and all our guests loved the venue and everything else." Sarah

"After viewing Wakehurst Place, my partner and I just fell in love with it! The Mansion is spectacular, and being surrounded by a stunning lake and pretty gardens made it even more perfect. Katie and Caroline were fantastic through the planning stages and on the big day! The food is outstanding, waiters very polite, glasses were always topped up and never went empty! Lots of praise from our guests about the food as it truly was delicious! Our wedding day was everything we wished for and more. From my husband and I, thank you to all staff at Wakehurst Place." Mr & Mrs John

"Wakehurst Place is not only one of the most beautiful and fairytale settings you could wish for, but the staff are fantastic as well. They made the arrangements stress-free, offered guidance and help throughout and were always available to assist. Then on the day they were available but subtle, and the food was fantastic! You really could not want for any more before or on your special day! We would highly recommend Wakehurst Place as a venue to anyone and everyone." Rebecca and Marcus Breeds
