Huntsham Court

My partner and I spent months researching and viewing wedding venues in the south west that were an exclusive use venue for a weekend wedding. With many venues not quite having either enough bedrooms or character when we finally found Huntsham Court it completely blew us away and we knew we had to secure our date quick! Once we had secured our date Huntsham provided us with all the information we needed to start planning our wedding. We were able to visit the venue as much as we liked which really helped us visualise how we could have the venue set up for our event. One of the biggest selling points for us (apart from the stunning grounds, impressive state rooms and luxury bedrooms!) was the flexibility you have at Huntsham. We were able to bring in the suppliers we wanted, from our florist, photographer, bar hire and caterers. This helped us make our wedding one of a kind and not a ‘rinse and repeat’ wedding where you have to use in-house suppliers like many other venues we visited. Once we met our wedding planner Jenny with 6 months before the day the ball really got rolling with all the finer details and planning the logistics of the weekend. Jenny thought of everything, giving us extra ideas and things we hadn’t even considered to make sure it was an unforgettable weekend for us and our guests. The staff at Huntsham were also fantastic, they were incredibly friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Again the flexibility of being able to use Huntsham staff as much or as little as you like throughout your event was a great help to us. We mean it when we say, it was the BEST weekend of our lives and it’s all thanks to the incredible venue, staff and suppliers. Our guests throughout the weekend were blown away constantly commenting it was the best wedding they’d ever been to. We couldn’t recommend Huntsham Court enough for a wedding or event of any kind, it’s just bittersweet we may never be able to visit this stunning venue again.

We had our wedding on New Year’s Eve at Huntsham Court. For context, we had 121 guests, had our church ceremony on the Huntsham land, and stayed for 2 nights - we had 40 guests staying at the venue with us on the first night and c.80 staying for the second (the remaining guests stayed in nearby hotels). We cannot sufficiently explain how wonderful this venue and its staff are but we will try! Huntsham Court seems to be able to offer you with both a blank canvas if you choose to decorate the venue to your own taste and also sufficient character if you choose to leave the venue as is. It’s the perfect venue for dry hire - the local area boasts a huge selection of suppliers - all with their own experience of working at the venue to be able to guide you through your planning experience. As for planning, the venue has a ridiculously good set of wedding coordinators and staff members. We used Jennifer as our coordinator/planner and we have been unbelievably impressed with her work - we had a rather far-fetched set of ideas and Jennifer and the Huntsham staff executed them impeccably. The Huntsham staff think of everything down to the amount of tea bags you might want to buy to keep everyone happy. They are also incredibly well connected with suppliers. It’s hard to understand how the venue can be as amazing as it is, with a staff as professional and wonderful all for such good value. The venue works for both smaller groups (the venue was perfectly sized for the 40 guests we had to stay the night before) and also transforms to work incredibly well for larger groups (121 total for the wedding day). It is quite frankly magical - a beautiful house on a beautiful piece of land. We have visited both in the summer and then in the winter for our wedding and it is beautifully arranged for weddings across all seasons. If you want to dance and party all night - the venue can do that (the Great Hall is an amazing dancing experience - the venue has adorable LED lights that can be turned onto party mode, an in-house bar and space for an EXTRA bar if you want), if you’d rather a cosy dinner - the venue can do this too (we had a more intimate dinner the night before our wedding) and if you’d rather the venue is used for a relaxed affair with board games and guests making cups of tea it can do this too (it has multiple reception rooms without feeling too big, un-homely or overwhelming). We cannot recommend this venue enough. It’s great value for what it offers, it has endless ways to make your wedding unique to you and it has an amazing group of staff members who will help you make your special day truly wonderful.
