Dewsall Court

I want to say a massive thank you to everyone at Dewsall Court for making the most magical weekend possible. Emma, our events manager and Molly, our catering manager were outstanding – from the start they helped guide us through the whole process taking on board all of our ideas and turning them to life in the most magical way possible. I will always remember walking into the Wainhouse on the wedding day and just be

Where can we begin to thank you all at Dewsall for the wonderful experience in not just on our wedding day, but in the months and weeks building up to the day itself? … As soon as I entered the grounds of Dewsall I was captivated. Demonstrating the perfect mix of professionalism and hospitality… While other venues we had visited felt corporate and bland, Dewsall still sparkled with the feel that can only be found in family homes. Please never change! One of the reasons Dewsall spoke to me is the quirky nature of the fixtures, fittings and art which gave a history and unique energy to the house… Similarly, while planning your team had such an open mind when it came to planning the day… You always showed enthusiasm and helped us achieve our vision. You never imposed ‘the done thing’ on us. Subsequently, the feedback on the day was that the wedding was “so us”. I haven’t come back down from the high of the day. What a way to celebrate our love and the memories made we will treasure for a lifetime! What would we say to other prospective Dewsall couples? If you can, you simply must choose Dewsall. The only downside I can see is the sadness that comes with knowing that our time with you is over… Mark and I had waited 15 years for our wedding day and Dewsall, you were worth the wait.’

We got so many lovely thank you messages after the wedding and everyone absolutely loved the venue; lots of people said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to (!) and that they felt well looked after at all times, so we wanted to say a big thank you to you and the entire Dewsall team for being so professional and organised (and fun!) :)

As soon as we visited Dewsall we knew it was the wedding venue for us- the house and grounds are truly beautiful! However, our wedding weekend went far beyond our expectations. The team at Dewsall were exceptional, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived and giving us the freedom to tailor our wedding exactly how we wanted to, with all of our guests commenting on how personal and unique the celebrations were. We were fortunate enough to have two celebrations across the weekend to celebrate both of our family backgrounds, each were completely different but totally magical. We have so many happy memories, from singing under the canopy at our reception, enjoying the unbelievably delicious food in the barn (especially the salted caramel chocolate tart...), roasting marshmallows around the fire pits, our colourful Hindu ceremony by the lake with both our families meeting each other drumming and singing; and SO much dancing and laughing across the two days. We wish we could do it all again!

‘My husband Paul and I got married on a Saturday the 22nd June 2019 at Dewsall Court. We had booked the wedding over two years previous to this and on the first viewing we were completely blown away so much so that it was the first and the last wedding venue that we looked at it. The features that really appealed to us included the availability of hiring the house for the whole weekend so that we could enjoy quality time with our family and friends prior and following our special day. Dewsall house felt very much like a home for the whole weekend, with homemade cookies on arrival, a homely cooked meal in the conservatory the night before the wedding which was enjoyed with great wine and an incredible dessert. We allocated each guest their own room designed around their needs and each guest was astonished in how each bedroom was designed so uniquely and beautifully making their stay even more special and memorable. Waking up at Dewsall on the day of my wedding was perfect, I was able to remain in my room whilst getting ready with my bridesmaids, hair and makeup artists without the risk of being seen by other guests. The room offered some great opportunities for pictures especially for the big wedding dress reveal to my father. Another feature that drew us to Dewsall court was the fact that everything was on the same grounds, this completely eliminated the stress and financial burden of arranging transport from venue to church. The walk with my dad was one of the most memorable walks whereby we reflected on the 2 years of planning, memorable father and daughter moments and offered a truly special moment that we will treasure forever. The grounds are completely breathtaking and offered some beautiful photo opportunities for us and our guests. All our guests were completely blown away by Dewsall court and all its features, I think it will be talked about for a very long time yet. The wedding breakfast took place inside Dewsall barn which was arranged so perfectly. The meal was delicious and the services from staff was incredible, with all the meals coming out in a timely fashion and like clockwork. Thom our catering manager was to hand every step of our way to answer any of our questions and also to check that we were happy with everything throughout the day. Throughout the planning of the wedding Laura was our knight in shining armour, from our very first meeting she put us at ease with any task never too big or difficult for her to manage. Laura offered some excellent ideas and made our whole experience truly special. We will honestly miss Laura and our visit to Dewsall, we are sad that this chapter is now over. Overall, Paul and I had the most perfect day and would highly recommend any couple planning a wedding to have their wedding at Dewsall Court. Thank you to Dewsall court, Laura, Thom and all the staff at Dewsall for making our wedding day by far the best day of our lives!!’

As soon as we arrived at Dewsall Court and saw the beautiful grounds and house we fell in love with it and knew it was where we wanted to get married. Every time we went there, we didn't want to leave as it really did feel like a home away from home. Laura, our wedding co-ordinator was a great help leading up to the wedding and on the day, making us feel totally at ease. The day itself was brilliant and being there with all our closest family and friends was just incredible. The day was filled with lots of fun, singing and dancing - just what we wanted from our wedding. We want to thank the team for letting us all really let our hair down...even dancing on the chairs before our main courses had arrived. It really was a great party and one we will always remember! We really hope we can visit again one day as we love Dewsall so much.

To all of the Dewsall team, Danielle and I had such an amazing time at Dewsall Court. From start to finish everything went perfectly. We really felt like the venue was our own, with free reign of the house on the day before the wedding and the day after. This really added to the occasion and made us all feel at home and relaxed before a nerve-wracking day! The wedding day itself was incredible. It was amazing to see all of the hard work and planning come together to create such a beautiful day. Thank you so much to all of the Dewsall team. We hope to see everyone again soon.

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding and it's safe to say that Dewsall exceeded all of our expectations! We've had such lovely compliments about the day and the venue from friends and family, it really has gone down as a day to remember. Hopefully it won't be our last visit to Dewsall.

It’s difficult to put into words just how special Dewsall is and how it made our wedding weekend! Its rustic magic charmed us from day one and we didn’t want to have our big day anywhere else. From the food we chose, the grounds, the rooms… it couldn’t have been more perfect. Dewsall is very homely, unfussy, understated and simplistic in its way, which was just what we were looking for in a venue. The place speaks for itself and we instantly fell in love. It's so us. The in-house staff that looked after us before, during, and after the day itself were very accommodating, unobtrusive and made us feel at home. We really did feel like it was our house for the weekend, but felt safe in the knowledge they were on hand if needed. (A special thankyou to Meg and her team for being so lovely.) Our friends and family haven’t been able to stop talking about it all, and what a hidden gem Dewsall is; a gorgeous secret retreat in the depths of the beautiful Herefordshire countryside, which made our special day truly unforgettable. We were sad to leave and it was all over far too soon, but a piece of our hearts will always be there. We’re very grateful to Hannah and Molly who guided us throughout the process and the weekend itself. Thank you for helping us feel at ease and for all your hard work/running about! The day/weekend wouldn’t have run so smoothly without your input, organisation and communication. Please pass on our thanks to the talented chefs who gave us such an awesome, delicious celebratory feast. To Jane and Samantha, who have really brought out Dewsall’s potential, made it look so amazing and who gave us such a wonderful canvas/backdrop. To experience being there felt a privilege. And thank you to everyone else we may have forgotten!!! You helped give us a day we'll treasure forever.

We celebrated our marriage at Dewsall Court in August, with four days staying and several great events organised by the Dewsall team including foraging locally and herding ducks! Dewsall was an amazing backdrop to our event, beautiful gardens and house, perfect rooms, and amazing staff who were incredibly helpful but also very low key - it actually felt like we were living in the house! There was no sense of 'being in a hotel' and that made everything feel really special. The actual wedding day was brilliant with great help from Hannah and team who were gently on hand to remind us where to go and when but again without being intrusive. What I was really impressed with is that all the staff made us feel like they were completely devoted to our wedding and our individual needs, and that they were happy and loved what they were doing. There was no sense that this is something they do on repeat, and to achieve that is a huge feat.
