Woodhill Hall

We went to see Woodhill Hall as a possible wedding venue in February 2023. Our plan was a small intimate family wedding. For Louise and I it was our ‘late in life love story’ and we would have our 6 children and partners together with our 4 sisters and partners. No friends, no cousins, no evening guests, just US. The chance for our ‘new family’ to spend a long weekend together with two nights accommodation was immensely tempting. We never went to view another wedding venue. We were welcomed by the owner Corinne and her staff, who immediately oozed professionalism and confidence - seemingly very excited for our plans. Most everything went according to plan in the build-up to the big day, sorting the room allocations was fun, we visited twice more to ‘get our heads around’ our two days together - and one of them was the menu tasting to decide on our food and drinks packages. We loved the Olive House chapel, it had immediately reminded us of our engagement in Crete. The Olive trees around the door and the beautiful plain white interior and blue walls outside became part of our Greek themed plans. Our Sunday and Monday at Woodhill Hall to celebrate our wedding came around in a flash. The weather before AND after our wedding day was dark heavy skies and rain. However, on our wedding day, the skies cleared, the sun came out - and stayed out - all day long. Just like in Crete! It was very warm and pleasant, we loved the chapel, and it all felt VERY Greek. Our four daughters were bridesmaids, our two sons were best men. Receiving a kiss from my daughter Ellie at the end of her walk down the aisle was very special, Louise’s daughter’s Elizabeth read a very touching poem she had written about our love story, Sally then played a violin piece which was beautiful. I’ve never been as proud of my two sons as they took over ring duties, and later the great speeches they made along with Louise’s eldest daughter Sarah’s very funny speech too. We were so very happy. A shot of Greek Pomegranate Raki, as a toast after our speeches, certainly kept us alert! The Orangery was a beautiful place for a reception, even with our small party. Later we danced the night away under the twinkling lights of the TeePee and enjoyed the rustic pizza package to keep us going until the close of play. We enjoyed nightcaps with the ‘wind-down pack’ in the library before bed, laughter and happy smiling faces all around. A great day done very well indeed. Breakfast was most welcome the next morning, and we all agreed what a wonderful place Woodhill Hall was and what an amazing wedding we had all enjoyed as a family! We said our goodbyes to our sisters and partners before all our six ‘children’ and partners, together with us, headed to Newcastle Airport to fly to Crete for a familymoon together. To find true love and happiness at this point in our lives was a total dream, that actually came true. And Woodhill Hall was the perfect place for our perfect wedding.

Forever grateful to Woodhill Hall for the amazing hospitality and experience for our wedding. Everything was so truly special from start to finish, Sarah, you had a huge part in that so thank you! Everyone we have spoken too has said it’s the best wedding / venue they’ve ever been too! (We are biased but absolutely agree). The Greek inspired olive house captured my eye when first looking for a venue and it was even more stunning in person, the extension made to the orangery has finished off that part of the venue perfectly, and the teepee is the perfect way to end the day; we absolutely loved the fact each part of our day was somewhere different. Thank you so much everyone. wish we could do it all again! Xx

Can't fault the team and venue at Woodhill Hall. They created a relaxed, magical and well managed wedding day for us. They operate like a well oiled machine with nothing too much effort and everything working like clockwork. Sarah and Laura were both fab with a great eye to the detail throughout the day. Highly professional and highly recommended. Also we must also mention the catering team which was absolutely top class. We had so many guests comment on not only the fabulous venue but the wonderful food. Faultless. A perfect day helped out considerably by Woodhill Hall venue and staff.

Had our wedding at Woodhill Hall on September 23rd 2023. It really was the most amazing day of our lives. The venue was sensational, the food was out of this world and the staff were fantastic. Laura was our wedding planner and she did an amazing job, not only throughout the wedding day itself, but the months leading up to the wedding as well! She was there every step of the way. All of our guests had the most amazing day and they complimented every part of it. Having the opportunity to stay at the venue the night before with all our friends and family made the weekend so much more special. Followed by an amazing breakfast buffet the morning after, curing that hangover and those wedding blues! Bessie’s was the most perfect room for getting ready in with my bridal party. Extremely spacious (and I had 8 bridesmaids plus parents getting ready in there), fab lightening for those MUAs and plenty space for dancing and popping those champagne bottles. Honestly, hands on heart, could not fault anything at all. Truly the most magical day.

It’s hard to put into words how grateful we are to everyone at Woodhill Hall. Amazing from the very start of our wedding planning journey, all the way to our big day in August. Corinne and Laura were amazing at organising everything and making sure our day was perfect. All of our guests remarked how impressive Woodhill Hall was.

Woodhill are the most amazing venue. The team made sure our day was absolutely faultless. Our guests are still raving about the venue and even described it as an “immersive experience” with so many beautiful settings/rooms to experience during our wedding day. We couldn’t have picked a better venue. The views, the rooms, the beautiful decor, the friendly team and personable experience is everything that Woodhill is 🤍

Woodhill is the kind of venue that every girl grows up imagining. It is simply breathtaking. I remember when we walked in for the first time and looked out through the Orangery at the scenery, I had goosebumps. We looked at each other and knew this was the place. From booking the venue, the menu tasting, the planning meetings, all the little details, right through to the day itself, the staff could never do enough to help. We are so thankful we were lucky enough to have our wedding here and I really can't recommend Woodhill enough.

From the moment we booked our wedding Sarah was absolutely fantastic! We had our special day 15th June 23 and I honestly could not have asked for more. The Olive House, tepee, accommodation and the over all exclusivity of 2 days was outstanding. We have had so many guests say it was the best wedding they had been too.

Woodhill is a dream venue, but what made our experience truly brilliant was the warmth and care of the Woodhill team. Corinne and team made every step of the process simple and thoughtful. Our families felt welcome, the barbecue night, wedding and breakfast next day all ran smoothly. All our guests left delighted.

We could not fault the Woodhill team through the whole process of planning our big day. They were so helpful with answers to every question I had, down to the absolute finer details. The ability to have a celebration the night before and morning after was just the best extra touch which made our celebrations even more special. A huge shout out to Laura for ensuring our whole stay and day ran perfectly. Thank you again!
