So proud to say we got married here!

We got married on Friday 13th September 2024 and the venue couldn’t have given us more help and support leading up to and on the day of our wedding. We never expected our day could run so smoothly without any issues! Everyone loved the venue and how stunning it was, It was truly worth every penny and we're so proud to say we got married here! The venue is so well thought out, it really took a lot of stress away from us! Everyone LOVED the food by Valentine cuisine who the venue work closely with

Flawless...

I can’t even put into words how lucky i feel to have chosen High House as our venue. This was the first venue we visited and we booked instantly without hesitation (which is unlike me, normally i would have been looking through all reviews). From booking all the way up to the wedding day, the service was absolutely flawless. You feel instantly at ease and it’s obvious that this venue has got weddings down to a tea.

Utter perfection...

From the moment we stepped on the grounds of High House for a viewing 2 years ago, we just knew it was the venue for us. I have no other words to describe High House than utter perfection. From the staff, to the grounds, to the food - everything was amazing! We got married on Sunday 11th August, and the day ran so smoothly from start to finish.

The team at High House ate true professionals

The team at High House are true professionals, they are super organised and their experience speaks volumes. We were led through the entire process and had complete confidence for our wedding day. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, our guests were amazed and loved the set up for the first dance! It’s also worth saying that this venue includes a lot, so no surprise additional costs for essential items.

We could never choose just one, as we have had so many amazing weddings here and they all unique. We absolutely love helping couples put their own special touches on the venue and making the day their own.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Think about what you want for your day and not what you 'think' you should have. We really encourage our couples to think about what they love and enjoy and make those things part of their day.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

One of our brides had sadly lost her dad not long before her wedding day. She wanted to have something here that would remind her of her dad throughout the day, he loved fishing so she set up a chair and fishing rod next to our pond which overlooks our reception drinks space. It was a lovely touch to remember her dad.
