Description

At Stirk House we specialise in creating those perfect memories for your special day. We can accommodate for both small, intimate ceremonies with your nearest and dearest, to big luxurious parties, where we can seat 250 people for a sit down wedding breakfast. No matter how big or small your wedding is, the team are consistent in giving you the upmost attention and ensuring everything runs smoothly on the day. Our function suite is multi-purpose, meaning you can make the most of the space needed, whilst keeping certain areas closed off for a more intimate feel. The function suite has it's own bar, toilet facilities and a private lounge area, meaning you have certain areas that are exclusive for you. Our function suite has a late license - so there is no need to worry the party will end too early! And once the main event has finished, our lounge bar is open to all residents wanting a night cap. Our award winning team who have years of experience between them, are ready to assist with every detail tailored specially to you and your big day. We welcome any new ideas you may have - we pride ourselves on doing everything we can to make sure your vision comes to life. The wedding itself is not just limited to a one day experience. You will come in and meet with the wedding teams numerous times, from wedding fayres to private appointments, wedding tasting sessions and many of our couples like to come and stay over to experience what Stirk House has to offer before the big day. We have 33 bedrooms on site, and we are able to sleep between 85 - 90 people if all extra beds / sofa beds are used. Our Seasons restaurant is also open for you to come and try the exquisite food beforehand. It's also where you may dine the night before the wedding, and of course breakfast the day after, which is another great time for catching up with loved ones. We look forward to hearing from you and discussing all your exciting plans!

The best wedding venue

From the moment of sending and enquiry to leaving the day after the wedding, the whole team at Stirk House could not do enough. Every email with questions was responded to within a day, they made planning the wedding an absolute breeze. The day its self was just WOW, everything was perfect. Dave made the day and we’ve received so many compliments about the wedding. I would book this venue over and over again.

Our wedding day

We got married here on the 26/07/2024 after 2 years of planning and we couldn’t have asked for a better day or a better venue. The grounds of stirk house are absolutely stunning we got the most amazing wedding pictures with the surroundings. The staff over the past 2 years and especially on our wedding day were absolutely incredible from the wedding team (Danielle, Lucy & Molly) and planners to the catering/bar staff and reception staff. A massive shout out to Dave the toast master who just absolutely made the day, made sure everything was good and kept checking in on me and my husband, he sorted all the music and went above and beyond. All of our guests commented on how good Dave was. The staff really couldn’t have done anymore to make us feel at ease- the day ran so smoothly. The wedding breakfast food was absolutely incredible, so many of our guests commented about how good the food was. Again thank you all so much for the most perfect day and memories that will last us a life time. Lots of love Mr & Mrs Braysford

The best day of our lives

What a spectacular venue Stirk House is! Right from the very beginning Lucy, Danielle and Molly were incredibly helpful and informative. Throughout the planning stages they made us feel that our wedding was a priority and did not hesitate to answer our questions (a lot!!) with ease. They made our planning less stressful as they made us feel calm and assured and we knew with their professionalism that everything was in good hands. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and that is thanks to this outstanding venue and the wonderful staff that uphold such high standards. Everything was perfectly executed and ran smoothly which meant that we could enjoy the day without any worries at all. Big thanks to Dave, we do not know what we would have done without him. He was a massive support to us and very much valued throughout the entire day and our friends and family loved him! We would love nothing more than to relive the day all over again and we have not hesitated to recommend the venue to other people looking for somewhere to get married. The location, stunning venue, cleanliness, gorgeous food, drinks, rooms, staff members all contributed to creating an extraordinary atmosphere and experience, one that we, our friends and family will never forget. We are extremely grateful for Stirk House and it holds a very special place in our hearts.

Best day of our lives!

We got married at Stirk House last week, and we could not be happier that we did. I think it's fair to say we were both a little bit nervous in the run up to the day, but knowing the amazing weddings team at Stirk House were there throughout the whole process to answer any questions massively put us at ease. On the day itself, we didn't have anything to think about at all. We felt absolutely safe in the knowledge the team had everything taken care of, and we were not disappointed! From the morning getting ready, to the extra little touches provided throughout the day, to the evening reception. It was all perfect and we cannot explain how much fun we had. Obviously a special shout out has to go to Dave for the day of the wedding, he is absolutely incredible at what he does, and knows exactly how to get everyone involved. All we can say is we cannot recommend Stirk h House and the whole team more, and we are absolutely BUZZING that we were lucky enough to celebrate our special day here! X

The BEST wedding venue

We recentlyw had our wedding at Stirk House and I can honestly say we chose THE BEST venue for the day. From first contact the wedding team were amazing. Their responses were quick and we were able to set up meetings to book and discuss the wedding with ease. They went above and beyond to meet our needs of our special day and were extremely accommodating of change’s especially due to us having 3 young children. We booked a pre wedding meal the night before the wedding and the food was amazing along with the staff. They couldn’t do enough for us. On the morning of the wedding everything had been planned perfectly and the staff were on had to help everything run smoothly. Throughout our wedding day and whole stay at Stirk House all the staff were just outstanding. A special mention to Dave who was just perfect at keeping the day running smoothly and organising people into the right places at the right time. The food was amazing and so many people have commented on how beautiful it was. The drinks service was very efficient and the bar staff were very friendly. So many people have commented to us how much of a wonderful day it was. A big thank you again to Stirk House, the wedding team and all the staff. The day went exactly as we’d hoped and so fast that we wish we could do it again.

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at Stirk House Hotel?

It's so hard to pick just one! We had a festival style wedding once though which was out of this world. After the ceremony and wedding breakfast, everyone headed outside to where we had a stage set up with dancefloor, and different bands playing all day. There were haybales, a prosecco tent, an outside bar, and even fireworks! Once the bands finished around 10am, everyone headed inside for a silent disco in our main function suite. I'll always remember this wedding, as it was so unique and really personal to the couple.

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

I always advise couples to book the registrar as soon as the venue is booked, to make sure they can book a time that works for them. With this in mind, for the Winter weddings, I also recommend to not book the wedding too late. This is because it will usually start getting dark around 4pm, so we need to make sure there is enough time for photos!

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

Anything that is personal to the couple though, whether that is some of the decorations they have made themselves, or different kind of favours for their guests. I remember one wedding where they had photos of their parents and grandparents wedding days on a table which was so lovely. Also, one wedding had hangover kits made for guests which were put in their rooms before arrival. Such a great touch and I'm sure much appreciated by their guests!

Describe Stirk House Hotel in 5 adjectives

Charming, Character, Modern, Special, Unique

Where’s the best photo spot at Stirk House Hotel?

It has to be the Stirk House Tree. We have a really old tree in the grounds, which has decking around it. The tree itself is huge and absolutely stunning. The views during the day from there too create the perfect backdrop for photos. Then, at night time, the whole tree lights up. We have over 5,000 lights wrapped around the trunk and right up into the branches. It really is something completely different to anywhere else. There are some photos on the profile for you to look at!

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Stirk House Hotel?

Yes, we had the actor Ross Adams who plays the character Scott Drinkwell in Hollyoaks get married at Stirk House in April 2018 to his now husband Phil. They were such a lovely couple, and often came to wedding fayres, to try the food, and Ross also had his groom shower here. On the day itself, there were many of the cast here too from the programme as guests. Both the groom shower and the wedding was also featured in OK Magazine. A very proud moment for us at the hotel!

What’s your favourite canapé?

It would have to be the mini fish and chip cones. They are so tasty!

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

I love cheese and onion toasties!! They are soo tasty and just what you need at the end of the night

What is Stirk House Hotel most unique feature?

We have a beautiful conservatory area at the hotel. It's an extension of the original building, but not quite fully attached to the wall. This has meant that the Virgina Creeper that surrounds the original building can continue to grow year round. The leaves change with the seasons, so it looks beautiful whatever the season. It creates a really nice backdrop for photos inside, if the weather is not so good outside. It also has a seating area too which is often enjoyed by wedding guests, especially during the summer. And again, we have fairy lights in here too so it also looks completely different at night all lit up!

What part of your business are you most proud of?

The staff and the service they provide. The hotel is family owned, so it's not part of a corporate chain, and means we have much more flexibility than other venues without having to implement strict "do's and don'ts". The staff all work extremely closely together, and makes for an enjoyable place to work. This is reflected in the service we provide - each staff member is always going above and beyond to provide the best possible service to the customer, and this has been recognised in some of the awards we have won. We also often have comments from suppliers, about how much they enjoy working with us as a venue and a team, as we are also here to assist them and make their job easier too!
