Simply beautiful venue with everything you need for a perfect wedding

Beautiful venue with everything you need for a perfect wedding, which we were able to have exclusive access to over the entire weekend. We got married here in the summer of 2024 and the whole event ran seamlessly from start to finish. There are stunning views of the vineyard through the floor to ceiling windows in “The View” restaurant space, together with the outdoor terrace for you to enjoy the perfect scenery. We were able to get married outside (with a lovely indoor backup option), and the entire area was so colourful and in bloom. There is modern yet timeless accommodation for the wedding party in “The Grange”, with 7 spacious rooms all with en-suite bathrooms, and a lovely entertaining and social space. The access to the garden for a pre-wedding gathering the night before was excellent. We also took advantage of the ten glamping lodges to allocate to our closest friends and family for the weekend. The lodges have all the amenities you need, with modern bathrooms, kitchens and even a hot tub in each lodge. The wedding coordinator Vivienne and her team were very professional and a pleasure to work with. Vivienne was able to bring our dream wedding to reality, with incredible attention to detail, and keeping us up to date and informed throughout the whole process. Hencote already have a comprehensive list of recommended suppliers which we found really helpful given we are not local to the area, and we were extremely satisfied with those we worked with. Vivienne was very calm and professional on the big day, ensuring there were no issues and that the day ran smoothly from start to finish. The food and drink were exceptional - needless to say the wine from the vineyard is excellent, with many of our guests purchasing wine the next day to take home. The kitchen provided a wide range of different options and was able to tweak the dishes to our requirements. The quality of the food was second to none, with the flavours and presentation of the dishes being simply wonderful. Hencote were also able to host a post-wedding brunch the following morning for 50+ guests which was the perfect way to finish our wedding weekend. Needless to say we very much recommend this venue and we will certainly be returning to the venue to visit in the future. Thank you once again to Vivienne, the chef and the Hencote team for all of their help and assistance.

Best wedding venue and day of my life

I had my wedding here over the August bank holiday weekend and I COULD NOT have picked a better venue!! The venue itself, the views, the staff, the co-ordinators, the food were all 10/10, I have had so many compliments on how much my guests enjoyed the day. The wedding had to be moved inside due to weather concerns a few hours before the ceremony, and I have had feedback about how professional the staff were in moving everything indoors, for example checking the lighting and running rehearsals themselves to make sure everything still goes to plan. All the big and small details of the day were planned to such precision, my guests with dietary requirements were looked after and had their own canapés, meals and evening pizzas amended for them. The band also fed back how welcomed and looked after they felt at the venue. I understand there is a new front of house/ service manager who has recently started- he was there on the day and the day after to welcome myself and the guests and had a real impact on making sure we felt welcomed and overseeing the running of service- he was a real credit to the venue! The wedding and events co-ordinator and assistant co-ordinators have been there supporting me and answering all my questions every step of the way- they are also a real credit to the venue and made my life so much easier! We also stayed at the Grange with the wedding party the night before and night of the wedding- again, the facilities, cleanliness and rooms were all 10/10. Everyone was so impressed at how beautiful the rooms and views were, I would really recommend staying here. Thank you Hencote for making my wedding a 10/10 day and something that I will remember as being one of the best days of my life, aswell as being able to share it with all my family and friends.

Beautiful wedding day at a stunning English vineyard

We had such an amazing wedding day at Hencote. All our guests were blown away by the amazing scenery, delicious food and wonderful wines. The staff made the day so great and Vivienne was so helpful every step of the way. We wouldn’t change a thing, we’re still on cloud 9! If you’re looking for a beautiful fresh wedding venue that allows you to have your wedding day exactly how you’d like this is the place. From the food to the decor and everything in between Vivienne was happy to accommodate our requests, we were able to make our day individual and perfect for us.

Fantastic wedding venue!

We recently performed at Hencote for the first time and it was such an amazing experience. The staff were so welcoming and friendly to all of our team which made us feel so relaxed and happy during our performances. The venue itself is stunning and has such a beautiful view of the surroundings its become one of our very favourite places to play! We had such a great day performing for our couple and getting on so well with the Hencote team that we have been asked to perform at their next wedding open day and we are now part of their recommended suppliers, which is such awesome news as it means we should be able to perform a lot more at this amazing venue!

The most perfect wedding venue

Had the pleasure of attending my nieces wedding celebration here last week and can honestly say that we cannot find fault with any aspect of our experience. From the moment we arrived early afternoon until well into the evening we found all of the staff extremely efficient, very friendly and courteous. The food was superb and perfectly prepared, service was very good especially as there were well over a hundred guests. The sparkling wine was absolutely delicious. The venue itself is beautiful
