Shillingstone House

My (now) wife and I were married at this stunning venue on 27th July 2024 and quite simply, it was the best day of our lives. We are a very laidback couple who did not want the drama of going from venue to venue to find the perfect place so with our first stop arriving at Shillingstone house, we found literal perfection for our needs. The full control of making the day the way you wanted, the stunning gardens and grounds that are maintained to perfection, the hospitality from Michael and Caroline, the assistance in every detail where needed and the above and beyond attitude to make sure your day truly is the greatest it could be. Here, you do not just get a beautiful setting for any occasion, but also the support from experienced and extremely kind hearted individuals who have your best interests at heart. I could not recommend anything more in my life. To all involved, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You made not only our day magical, but our families and friends are still telling us how great it was. We will forever be grateful.

The day far exceeded our expectations. We want to thank you both for your support in the lead up and the day. You made it so easy for us. The little extra touches you helped us with meant so much to us. When you appeared with those corks, a huge weight was lifted for example. We couldn’t have asked for more and both sat on our honeymoon reflecting the help you gave. We should have the final photos any day now. We are just figuring out how to get them as there are so many. We will definitely share some with you. Our guests were so amazed at the house and gardens. One of our guests from Spain said he felt like he was on a film set with how amazing it was. If someone is reading this and still considering whether to book or not, don’t hesitate anymore. I am certain it will be a magical day!

A beaming bride reviewing.... I cannot begin to thank Caroline and Michael enough for letting myself and Rufus have our wedding day at Shillingstone House, not only was the day itself so magical and joyous in their beautiful grounds, but the lead up to the day was fantastic. Caroline was extremely helpful and really took the time to understand what we wanted for the day and liaised with suppliers beforehand to help the day run smoothly. It's amazing that you can hire the grounds Friday -Sunday, it made decorating a really relaxing and enjoyable task as we had the whole day Friday to set up the site. I really loved Caroline's blog on her website as it was a great way to draw inspiration and again, I could see all the love and care she put into people's weddings days. Shillingstone House definitely doesn't feel like a wedding venue where you are on a conveyor belt and just a number- the whole day felt so personal. We are so so grateful that we got to have our wedding at Shillingstone House, our guests loved the beautiful fields and sensational flowers, there really was beauty everywhere you turned! We hope to come back for an anniversary at some point as we miss it already! Thank you again Caroline and Michael, Warmest regards, Hannah and Rufus

Wonderful characterful house and the perfect wedding venue, one the best I've visited as a photographer Google Review

I came here for a wedding and had a great time. The owners were very helpful on the day of the wedding. Google Review

There are not enough words to express just how glorious Shillingstone House is. With beautiful, whimsical charm, gorgeous gardens and a relaxed atmosphere- it was doubtedly the most perfect venue to be married in and the best choice we made when planning. Caroline and Michael are the kindest, warmest and most thoughtful hosts and simply went out of their way to make our day perfect. I would not hesitate to recommend Shillingstone House to anyone- there are not enough superlatives. The best day in the best setting imaginable.

Beautiful place..lovely people. Hard to beat as a wedding venue given the fabulous support of the owners. Review on Google

From Nicky Hill Photographer on Instagram It’s always so lovely capturing at @shillingstonehouse because not only is it the perfect setting for a wedding, the owners Lady Caroline & Sir Michael Salt are two of the loveliest owners you could meet and are super hands on, helping and making sure everyone’s ok and it’s all running smoothly. Rare gems 💎

Shillingstone House is a stunning venue with beautifully kept gardens. There are plenty of areas for photos, activities and fun. The owners are experienced and mega helpful. Caroline helped out the morning of our wedding when things weren't going to plan. Would 100% recommend.

Caroline and Michael at Shillingstone House were so lovely from the offset. You can hire their incredible grounds for an outdoor do-it-yourself wedding although they do have a recommended list of suppliers to use too. This was perfect for what we wanted and their gardens are immaculate and they've put so much effort into making it a lovely venue. Caroline was great with communication and providing her great knowledge from previous weddings. I would highly recommend Shillingstone House as a wedding venue - it's an incredible setting.
