Really is the dream place to get married...

We’d like to say a huge THANK YOU for your support throughout our wedding preparation! Without you and the team’s help, our wedding day couldn’t be running this smoothly! Hever castle really is the dream place to get married, and you are the dream team to work with!

Nothing was ever too much to ask...

From start to finish the wedding team at Hever defined professionalism in everything they do. Nothing was ever too much to ask and our day went off without a single issue. I couldn't recommend this venue enough, not just because of how incredible the venue itself is, but because it is supported by the most incredible team. Thank you again to Sarah, Nicky, Paul, Pavla and the rest of the team for making our day one we will look back on fondly for the rest of our lives.

Happy Guests = Happy Couple!

Adrien and I are so happy and glad we chose Hever as our wedding location. We received many compliments! Everyone absolutely loved it! Thanks again for everything, having a wedding coordinator really made all the wedding planning much easier and less stressful. The food was absolutely delicious! Canapés, wedding breakfast, the reception food. We received many compliments that the Prosecco and house wine were wonderful. Everyone was well fed and enjoyed the food! Happy guests = happy couple!

It was a truly magical day

Belated thanks to you and everyone who was involved in organising River and Alex‘s wedding on Sunday. So many people commented on the delicious food and excellent service and were ‘blown away’ with the beauty of Hever Castle. It was a truly magical day – many people said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to!

Cannot thank the team at Hever enough....

Thank you so much, we had the most perfect day and cannot thank the team at Hever enough for the amazing experience we had, Nicky was incredible on the day and very attentive towards us. All our guests had a brilliant time as well and complimented the efficiency of the team during the wedding and reception.

The food was of a very high standard

We had been liaising with Sarah Grove during the last few months and everything we planned with Sarah was executed perfectly on the evening. Nicky and her team gave exemplary service throughout the evening and the food was of a very high standard. The Great Hall was a stunning venue for such an event especially accompanied by a beautiful harpist ! A number of guests stayed overnight and loved the rooms and breakfast!

It was everything we dreamed of!

We had the most amazing day. The weather was perfect, the events team were brilliant and the service in the Guthrie was really exceptional. It was everything we dreamed of. We had lots of compliments on the food, Hannah! Thank you both for all of your help in making the day what it was.

The team went above and beyond on the day...

Many thanks again to Nicola on the day, she most certainly put me at ease when she introduced herself to me on Friday morning, her team did an amazing job with looking after our day and trying to keep us to schedule, which certainly wasn't made easy with the monsoon downpour we had during our drinks reception. The team went above and beyond on the day. Our biggest surprise was when Nicola very kindly arranged with Jerome to allow us access to the Castle to have a few photos before the evening.

Your service has been the best I have ever seen...

I just wanted to say the biggest thank you to your staff who were just exceptional at my sisters wedding on Friday. Sherry was amazing in organising the day and Paul was beyond wonderful and couldn’t have anymore helpful, friendly and accommodating. It was a day we will all treasure for a lifetime so we thank you for being so fantastic and professional. Thank you again. Your service has been the best I have ever seen and I work in events myself, including wedding planning.

Nice to see everyone in such a wonderful setting!

We received a lot of positive feedback from the guests on the day - so many people came up to us to tell us how much fun they had. Thank you so much for all your help in organising and making sure the day went smoothly. Of course none of this would have been possible without the Hever team, so please pass on our thanks to everyone who was involved with the day.
