Hockering House

Sam, we can’t thank you enough. I’m so glad we found you and your beautiful venue. Memories to last a lifetime.

What an amazing wedding we had at the very beautiful Hockering house, from start to finish it was all we had hoped and imagined. Nothing was too much trouble and all was organised by the fab owner, Sam, who was on hand all day making sure everything ran smoothly. The house to the grounds and marquee were exceptional, can not recommend this wonderful venue enough. Thank you!

As an outside caterer we work at many wedding venues around the county but we always LOVE working at Hockering House alongside Sam and her team. The venue is stunning and nothing is ever too much trouble for them however large or small the request, each Wedding couple is treated to her attention to detail and enthusiasm and she mucks in and helps ensure the day runs smoothly often working alongside us until late into the night. We can't wait to be back for 2021!!

We had our Wedding reception at Hockering House in June 2019 it was the most beautiful day, our guests enjoyed drinks on the lawn before wondering over to the marquee for the meal. After which we enjoyed a game of rounders, tug of war and a glitter bar all on the lawn surrounding the marquee, the blank canvas meant we could put our stamp on the venue which I loved. It was really important to us that we found a venue that was going to suit our laid back, informal feel that we wanted our wedding to have and Hockering house was definitely that. Sam is amazing she's there throughout the day (and the months leading up to our big day) making sure everything is running smoothly taking the worry away from me and the groom. We honestly had the most gorgeous day, surrounded by our friends and family it was really relaxed and informal which was exactly the vibe we were wanting.

Why choose Hockering House? Apart from the beautiful and tranquil surroundings reminiscent of many an English postcard, the most important thing for us when choosing the venue was the freedom so choose our wedding, our way. With both ourselves and many of our friends bringing children, our main priority was to include them, thus ensuring all adults could eat, drink and celebrate in a state of relaxation. Sam understood this and was not in the slightest bit fazed at the thought of 25-30 under 12s rampaging around Hockering’s landscape, whilst filled with cake, doughnuts, sweets and ice-cream. Despite the monsoon that hit at the start of the week, everything was set up perfectly ( definitely recommend booking Sam as co-ordinator-in-chief) and the wedding was all we had envisioned, with feedback being overwhelmingly positive about the whole event and the venue. If you want a wedding in beautiful surroundings whilst having the freedom to bring your own ideas, quirks and personality to the event, choose Hockering House.

Not quite sure where to start to be honest. If you’re thinking of getting married then quite honestly, you will struggle to find anywhere as intimate, professional and beautiful as Hockering House. What we liked initially about the venue was that the actual owner (Sam) lived on site and was personally involved in almost every detail. We also liked that only 1 wedding a week is held there and therefore the whole thing feels so much more personal. You will not find anyone more conscientious, driven and accommodating than Sam. Without her, there is no way we’d have had the wedding we did. She is amazing, nothing is too much trouble. On the day itself you don’t have to worry about anything, Sam communicates with all suppliers, oversees the running of everything, even acts as a waitress! Whatever you need, she just does. The venue itself is just beautiful and the suppliers Sam works with are all brilliant. Our food was gorgeous, the bar was excellent, marquee beautiful. Honestly we just had the BEST day, in the grounds of a beautiful house with beautiful people and we are so thankful to Sam for helping to make it all happen.

We had the most amazing wedding day at Hockering House, we were looking for a wedding venue with a marquee that had a laid back, relaxed style, being a wedding florist I’ve seen a lot of venues but none had the same feel to it as Hockering. We loved the fact that we could decorate the marquee however we liked, getting access on the Thursday meant we could set up at a relaxed pace. We also wanted our guests to have lots of fun so garden games were a must, with the beautiful grounds there was plenty of room for the space hoppers, tug of war, fire pit and rounders match!!! The most amazing thing about Hockering is Sam she has been so brilliant throughout the whole planning process, there whenever you need her, whatever the question, she is simply fabulous. She was there throughout the whole day making sure everything ran smoothly, so thank you so much Sam for your amazing work!!!

Hockering House is an absolutely perfect venue for an outdoor wedding or indoor wedding in the marquee. What’s so special about this venue you can make it your own from a festival wedding to an elegant wedding. You get help and support from all the amazing team at Hockering house.With lots of space outside for children to play it definitely caters for all ages to have an amazing day you will never forget.

We got married at the beautiful Hockering House on 6th July 2019. Where do we start with Sam the owner?!………. We booked the venue the year before, Sam has such a friendly, confident, and happy manner. She has years of experience of organising successful weddings which is clear to see in her attention to detail and incredible organisation. I once asked the bar company best@bars who always provide the bar at HH whether they’d seen anything go wrong at Hockering…. They replied “with Sam involved in the planning, nothing ever goes wrong!” Well I have to say they weren’t wrong, David (husband) and I had the most perfect and enjoyable Wedding day., 😍 We want to say a big thank you to Sam for always being there to help us, being flexible with our plans, but foremost being the back bone behind making our special day come together so brilliantly and smoothly!
