If you’re reading this review, it’s probably because you are looking for some words of affirmation to confirm Saltmarshe Hall is your dream wedding venue to book. Keep reading to understand why…
We got married at Saltmarshe Hall on the late May bank holiday 2025, booked approximately 18 months beforehand. From the initial show-around to each ad-hoc visit to see Amy for our meetings, the weather was never on our side, yet we were consistently blown away every time by the beauty of the Hall, the gardens and the service. Getting married in the UK means you can never be sure of the weather, so this theme really reassured us that Saltmarshe was the perfect setting for our wedding, no matter the weather!
When you are receiving wedding venue packages and quotes, they all appear quite similar and overwhelming when trying to compare. What was clear for us, especially after the wedding with family and friends even telling us this, was how fantastic the Saltmarshe staff were. Amy, Ellie, Mark, Michael just to name a few were like having friends by our side the whole day, yet the professionalism was second to none. The pre-meetings with Amy before the wedding were so thorough and reassuring, consistently giving us ideas of additional things to consider (and things to avoid!) to really get the most out of our day. I loved how much detail she wanted to have, not by necessity but by choice because she knew it would help on the day such as key vendor details, leaving nothing to a surprise. She was always just at the end of a phone call / email, even for the smallest silly question. On the day, Amy had thought of everything before I had a chance. Seeing her around was the biggest reassurance and genuine pleasure! The wider team couldn’t do enough for us - putting personalised gift bags in each of our guests’ room, supplying our favourite champagne (not usually on the bar menu!), grabbing me a bottle of water within a split second of saying I was thirsty and entertaining our flower girl after she took a little fall 5 minutes before the aisle walk! Nothing was too much to ask. Having the night porter package everything up for us after the wedding was over meant we could really soak up every last minute before check-out too.
We fell in love with Saltmarshe Hall because of all the variations of opportunity in every way you can think of - we got married in the Walled Garden, the day after a torrential downpour. The team knew how much we had our heart set on an outdoor ceremony and they truly went above and beyond to make it happen - even if it did make their lives a tiny bit harder setting up half outside (and half inside as contingency!). However, we equally loved the Morning Room, full of so much natural light. The main hall area with the staircase was a glorious backdrop for so many of our most-adored photos including our cake cut. Having exclusive use of the venue, including accommodation for our nearest and dearest, was a huge plus for us too.
In the lead up to the wedding, we took the opportunity to visit Saltmarshe Hall for various events such as Mother’s Day afternoon tea, Sunday lunch and of course the Wedding Tasting. Each time the food was consistently incredible however we were sceptical, could this really be replicated to the same calibre for a guest list of 70? On the day itself, even with 3 different options per course, the food, drink and service quality was exceptional. Again, it was a real compliment to the chef and team to hear how good the food was from our family and friends, not just us!
I often wonder if we may be biased on our love for Saltmarshe and our fond memories of our once in a lifetime wedding day, however many of our wedding guests also commented on how the wedding day ran so smoothly compared to other weddings they’d been to, which was all a credit to the wonderful Amy and her team. Your wedding day goes by so fast, and we are so grateful that we chose Saltmarshe Hall, Amy and her team to help us. Our only criticism is we wish we could do it all over again.If you’re reading this review, it’s probably because you are looking for some words of affirmation to confirm Saltmarshe Hall is your dream wedding venue to book.
