Happy couple married in December

This was the perfect setting for our intimate wedding

This was the perfect setting for our intimate wedding. COVID-19 meant that our plans had to be rearranged several times and Hambledon Vineyard came to the rescue last minute. Jess was amazing! She was on hand all day to help out and organise suppliers and my family! It is such a beautiful setting. Amazing wine and I can't wait to visit again.

The Events team were very courteous and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. We look forward to working with them again.

Fairytale magical wedding

The team at Hambledon worked so well with the florist, band, cake lady - everyone involved in making this the best day ever. Catering from the chef was outstanding, the service fantastic and nothing was too difficult for the Hambledon team to deal with. We had the best day, and enjoyed a lot of Hambledon fizz throughout the whole two days of celebration. We had a BBQ the following day, which again was manged fantastically by the team.

A Unique Venue With Great Staff

I was the DJ at a Wedding in 2022 and was very impressed with the venue. It is in a beautiful location with lot's of great photo opportunities. The Wedding party was in a lovely marquee with stunning views. I provided my All Day service and found the staff to be very helpful and friendly showing me where to set up for the drinks reception and for the evening reception ready for the big party.

Just stunning, what a perfect day!

As Father of the bride I may be biased, however I have also been told by many people, this was one of the best weddings anyone can ever remember attending. The venue is so spectacular, the attention to detail, the professionalism of every single member of the staff, the true love and fun everyone had, made this day magical. Every single element in preparation was handled with care, respect and knowledge. The planning was painless and fun, and then of course on the day Nick's food and the Hambledon Fizz were just off the scale. I could not recommend a better venue than Hambledon Vineyard for a perfect country wedding.

Note to say thank you

'Just a short Note to say thank you for making our wedding so Perfect. The vineyard is a lovely location for a wedding but the fact that we had the team made the whole experience incredible. We were so grateful for all of the effort you put in and how easy going and accommodating the venue was. It was like organizing a wedding with a close friend and i was sad to leave on Sunday.' 'we wanted to thank you and let you know what a great day Jennie and Mark had with you this weekend and to let you know what an absolute star Jess has been throughout, we could not have done it without her, she has tireless energy, attention to detail and such a lovely personality, it was a pleasure to get to know the team. They were both absolutely wonderful on the day, working so hard in the background and going above and beyond by taking both ourselves and our guests home at the end of the day when taxis didn't turn up!'
