Can do not can't do!
Excellent venue and staff - the personal friendly staff made us feel so at ease and excited for our day. Houchins made absolutely everything easy and stress free. The accommodation, personal small touches were everywhere and the memories will last with us forever. We cannot fault a thing, and we cannot thank you enough! Love Marie & Mark

It’s can do, not can’t do at Houchins
Nothing was too much trouble for the staff at Houchins, which helped us feel relaxed and excited about the wedding. We maxed out the beautiful house with guests and wanted a camper van for two extra guests to stay… it was no problem at all. From booking to the wedding itself was nothing but a breeze. We were lucky with the weather so had our wedding outside, it was absolutely beautiful. The whole venue is amazing, well kept and has finishing touches that help aid your day… I’m specifically thinking of the grooms room to get changed in which is a nice touch. The staff are pros at what they do and you come away feeling like you’ve made some friends rather than people you worked along side to get the wedding of your dreams. We can’t rate the team and the venue highly enough. Thank you. (Photos by Chloe Lee)

It was fantastic to be surrounded by our family & friends - looking so happy & having lots of fun. We had so much feedback from the guests about how amazing the venue was and we couldn’t have picked a more perfect location for our wedding. You have been so accommodating for our various requests & changes we are very grateful for everything you did.

The staff were so incredibly helpful
We got married at Houchins in September and had the most perfect, magical time. In the lead up to the wedding, the staff were so incredibly helpful with planning and making sure things were just how we wanted them. On the day itself, they couldn’t have been better. Eloise was there making sure everything was running on time and that we were always happy, she was an absolute angel! And the venue itself was so stunning and magical, just the most gorgeous setting. The farmhouse was perfect as well.

Our wedding at Houchins was everything we wanted
The perfect venue for us. Our wedding at Houchins was everything we wanted. The grounds are beautiful, everything is private and separated from the 'outside' giving you a sense of being in your own little bubble with family and friends on your wedding day. Everything we envisioned for our wedding came true. The staff at Houchins really do go above and beyond to make sure it gets done. You have the option of staying at the accommodation which was beautiful and perfect.
