Best Venue- first class!
We had our wedding a few days ago and wanted to leave a review while everything is still fresh. 😍 After viewing 7 venues, When we saw Hodsock Priory, we just knew it would be the perfect fit for us. The lake view, gardens, house, on-site accommodation—everything is there. The staff were incredible. 🎉 The transactions and communication were so efficient that it felt like communicating with a chatbot—fast responses, even during late hours! Our event manager, Shannon, was beyond amazing. 🥹 We are still speechless at how beautifully she made our day the most amazing day of our lives and how she made us calm and relaxed throughout the process. 🥹❤️ It's truly beyond us how these people can do what they do. Hodsock Priory will always be special to us, and it exceeded our expectations. 🥹 Everything was smooth, and the staff made sure we never had to worry. All our tiny requests were granted, and they made everything possible for us. They deserve all the stars in the world! Amazing, amazing, amazing! We've received wonderful comments from different parts of the world, and you should be very proud of yourselves. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!💕 - Sam and Chai

A lot of the excellence is down to the staff
It’s so hard for us to put into words how amazing our day was, both the build up/planning to the day itself. A lot of the excellence is down to the staff at Hodsock, they were absolutely fantastic, nothing was ever too much whether this be via email or in person. Not only did we think so but many of our guests also commented on how nice the staff were and how they felt as though they were actually part of the wedding itself.

Perfect - April 2023
We will always express our deepest heartfelt gratitude to the whole team at Hodsock! They say your wedding day is the best day of your life… and they aren’t wrong. The excellent care, attention to detail and just immaculate service from the whole team helped ensure the “Perfect Day” was a reality and not just a dream. Nothing was too difficult and every single interaction with a team member was so pleasant. The set up was exactly what we wanted, the food was just INSANE and the grounds as we’re sure you know were beautiful as usual. We’re not exaggerating when we say that nearly every single one of our guests were gushing about everything and every one of the team. Jess is a credit to the place and so good at what she does. The breakfast service ran exceptionally and without a hitch. It is so refreshing to be able to chat away too and have such a down to earth, professional and just fantastic human supporting us on the happiest day of our lives. We’ll always remember your contribution and be grateful. Thank you. India - Likewise. So incredibly supportive, helpful and kind during the afternoon and evening. She really helped make the evening celebration flow and communicated so well and like all others couldn’t have been more helpful. Going above and beyond - We had a phone call from one of our guests with coeliac disease after the event who said “The service and consideration when it came to my food and getting me what I wanted was better than I’ve ever experienced”. We were also over the moon to hear the team rustled up some chips for my Grandma for her main…. she is so beloved and one of our all time favourite humans. It may seem small, but they care so much, nothing is too much trouble and it makes a huge difference. Thank you We’re sure that there are more amazing things as we reflect on the day that will spring to mind that we will gush about… but we’ll save prople having to read any more haha! Hope we get to return again one day for another wedding or event. It’s such a special place ran by amazing people.

Our day wouldn't have been same without them
We got married at Hodsock Priory in June 2023 and we couldn't have wished for a better day. All the staff were so friendly and accommodating, especially Georgia! They helped several of our guests who had mobility issues, they spent the morning running around to make sure we had nothing to worry about and the food was out of this world. Several of our guests would call themselves 'foodies' and 7 months on we're still getting comments about how good the food and venue were. Honestly nothing we asked for was too big or too small, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other couples looking to tie the knot.

One of the best days of my life!
What an amazing venue for our daughter’s wedding in august. The staff were helpful and attentive going above and beyond to make the day run smoothly. Everything was exceptional from us arriving on the morning of the wedding to leaving the next day. To have the whole venue to ourselves was also a huge plus. I cannot praise Hodsock enough.
