Outstanding Service and a Perfect Venue—Thank You!

We couldn’t recommend Wotton House more—it’s the perfect wedding venue! Jodie and her team went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable, handling every detail with professionalism and good humour. The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful grounds, charming interiors, and an intimate yet spacious atmosphere. Their recommended suppliers were excellent, working seamlessly together to ensure everything ran smoothly. On the day, Jodie’s team and Bill, the Toastmaster, made sure we could relax and fully enjoy every moment. Our guests still rave about it, and we’re endlessly grateful for an experience we’ll cherish forever!

The best day EVER

From the first time visiting Wotton House we knew this was going to be our wedding venue and from then on we had the best experience working with the team at Wotton to create our perfect wedding day. Jodie, our wedding co-ordinator was amazing, as was Tracy and Bill who ensured our day ran so smoothly. On the 09/11/2024 we had our ceremony and drinks reception in Wotton's beautiful Old Library, surrounded by the rooms marble fireplaces and vaulted ceilings, followed by our chosen three course menu and evening reception in the gorgeous Evelyn Suite. We have had so many comments from our guests who thought the day was brilliant, that the hotel was fabulous, the food was delicious and that the staff were so lovely and accommodating, my husband and I can honestly say we have had the best day ever and couldn't recommend Wotton enough.

The best day of our lives

Wotton House was always our dream wedding venue, but the day itself surpassed even our highest expectations! The team (with special mentions to Jodie, Edward, Tracey and Poppy) were exceptional. From walking us through each planning step during the months prior, to making us feel totally relaxed and cared for during the day, we couldn't have been in better hands. Jodie was seamless in her meticulous planning, Tracey really guided us through the day itself, Edward greeted and treated us to lunch when we arrived the day before, and Poppy was an absolute star on the day, being supremely attentive and meaning that Chloe and I, as well as our guests, wanted for absolutely nothing. We could try to describe how incredible each aspect of the day was, but we feel the best way to convey how brilliant Wotton House is, is to say that more than a handful of our guests declared that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been to, and we think that pretty much sums it up. In short, choose Wotton. You won't regret it.

Our perfect fairytale

I don't know how we will ever be able to thank everyone at Wotton House for making our day as perfect as it was. Who would have thought that the right people could make your day so stress free and special? From the first email until our final goodbyes, everything was amazing! If we were to do it all over again, we would always choose Wotton House.Everyone went above and beyond not only on the day but during the entire planning process and our guests said it was like a fairytale. We couldn't agree more. And let's forget how stunning the venue is. We got married in the library and it was just breathtaking! However, a massive factor for us was also the accommodation. Every single guest who stayed the night was impressed by how lovely all the rooms were. Our only regret is not staying an extra night to enjoy it more but we promise to be back soon. Thank you for making our day even better than we could have ever imagined and for also allowing our dog to be part of our special day! Stephi & Dan

Every detail was handled with care, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the venue, delicious food, and wonderful ambience. The day flowed effortlessly, thanks to the incredible team. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you, Wotton House, for making our wedding truly unforgettable!

Our most perfect wedding day

We got married at Wotton House in March 2024 - it was the most perfect day. We knew the first time we saw the venue that it was the one for us. 2 stunning options for both an indoor or outdoor ceremony, and a beautiful breakfast room. We had 30 people flying in from overseas and the fantastic on site accommodation was perfect to bring everyone together. The team, especially our wedding co-ordinator Jodie, were amazing and made sure every detail was perfect so we could just enjoy our day. We would highly recommend Wotton House as a venue for anyone looking to get married!

Stunning Wedding in Surrey Hills

We originally viewed Wotton House last October and booked for the end of Sept 2024. We loved both the inside and outside spaces and knew it would be perfect whatever the weather. Leading up to the wedding we did have a few different wedding co-ordinators, but on the day everything ran very smoothly. The food was wonderful even though we didn’t pay extra for any upgrades and we stayed in the Japonica suite which was AMAZING. The team also sorted out an area in the restaurant for all our guests for breakfast the following morning which was a nice touch. Wotton House will always be our special place, we are even going back there for afternoon tea one month on from the wedding to celebrate 🥂

Dream Wedding Venue

Wotton House was everything we’d hope it would be and more for a wedding venue. As soon as we saw Wotton House at their wedding open day we knew it was the perfect place for us to get married. The grounds are beautiful and the whole venue itself is charming and full of character. Jodie our wedding co-ordinator was fantastic and helped make planning our wedding stress free and was always on hand to help us and a pleasure to work with. On the day of the wedding the whole team were amazing and everything went according to plan. Special shoutout to Tracey and Bill (toastmaster) for co-ordinating the day exceptionally. The wedding breakfast was also brilliant and we had many positive comments from guests on their meal and the whole smoothness of the day. Overall we couldn’t recommend Wotton House enough, and if we could we would do it all over again and wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you Wotton House for the most magical day.
