BREATHTAKING, FULL OF CHARACTER AND AMBIENCE...
I HAVE CREATED A SLIDESHOW OF IMAGES OF SOME OF THE AMAZING WEDDINGS I HAVE CAPTURED AT THORNBRIDGE HALL IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. I WON’T DENY THAT IT IS, WITHOUT QUESTION MY FAVOURITE WEDDING VENUE TO DATE THAT I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO WORK AT. THERE IS SOMETHING INCREDIBLY SPECIAL ABOUT THORNBRIDGE HALL. NOT ONLY IS IT BREATHTAKING, FULL OF CHARACTER AND AMBIENCE, BUT IT ALSO WORKS PERFECTLY AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR AND IN ANY WEATHER CONDITIONS. I HAVE CAPTURED A WEDDING DURING A NAMED STORM AND ON ONE OF THE HOTTEST DAYS OF THE YEAR, BUT IT WASN’T AN ISSUE FOR THIS MOST MAJESTIC OF LOCATIONS. IT HOLDS SOME EXQUISITE INTERIORS AND THE GROUNDS ARE WITHOUT QUESTION SOME OF THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY. THERE ARE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL LOCATIONS THAT MAKE THE PERFECT BACKDROP FOR ANY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY INCLUDING THE ITALIAN GARDEN, SCENTED TERRACE, WATER GARDEN, KOI POND AND KITCHEN GARDEN. IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE THE HALL WAS BRIEFLY USED AS A TEACHER TRAINING COLLEGE BY SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL, BEFORE IT WAS PURCHASED AND IS NOW PRIVATELY OWNED AND USED AS A FAMILY HOME AND EVENT CENTRE. THE HALL IS ALSO THE HOME OF THE AWARD-WINNING THORNBRIDGE BREWERY AND IN 2017 IT BECAME A RHS PARTNER GARDEN DURING CERTAIN TIMES OF THE YEAR THE BEAUTIFUL GROUNDS ARE OPENED TO THE PUBLIC. RATHER THAN TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LOOK FOR YOURSELF AND I AM SURE YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH THE VENUE JUST AS I HAVE.

The team at Thornbridge made our whole experience easy and stress free. We had the exact ceremony and reception we wanted. No request was too big or too small. We cannot thank Mike, Victoria and the team enough. I would fully recommend the venue to anyone who wants a perfect wedding.

Congratulations to the chef...
Thank you so much for looking after us so well at my sister's wedding. The day ran really smoothly and the work you all did to look after us to make sure everything worked well, it made the day very enjoyable. We all had so much fun, it's a day we will look back on fondly and have amazing memories of. Also, we have to say congratulations to the chef as I don't like lamb but loved the Hoggett!!! Helen and my parents are VERY impressed and its a hard job to do!

Beyond our expectations
We cannot recommend Thornbridge Hall highly enough as a wedding venue. It is truly a stunning venue, but what makes it even more special is how professional and conscientious all staff are - invisible yet attentive. The food was incredible, as was their willingness to help make the day personal - we cannot fault the service they have offered us.
Response from the venue
Thank you so much for your review, we are delighted to have helped make your day so special!
