Incredible Wedding at Hestercombe
While planning, our wedding coordinator Julie was brilliant: always quick to respond, helpful, and experienced. Also, very reassuring during the stress of wedding planning! All food and drinks were delicious, with vegan and meat options. Everything was carried out seamlessly on the day thanks to Julie, the manager Dave and all staff. Hestercombe gardens and the venues are all stunning, and really characterful. A really diverse, fun, wedding venue with a great team. Couldn't recommend more highly

Thank you just isn’t enough to convey how very grateful we are to you
Thank you just isn’t enough to convey how very grateful we are to you, Joe and all of the Hestercombe team for the big part you played in Danielle and Luke’s Wedding. Absolutely everything you all did was just fabulous from the setting up of the room, the help and assistance you gave with all of our little questions, the food - so many guests said they had never had such great food at a wedding to the overall feeling from the Hestercombe team that they truly cared about making our day as perfect and special as it could be. Please pass on our thanks to all involved. All we would say is keep on doing exactly what you are doing, you are such an organised, capable and caring team anybody who chooses Hestercombe as the venue for their wedding will not be disappointed in any way. I hope we will see you again on our visits to Hestercombe.
