Stunning Wedding in Surrey Hills
We originally viewed Wotton House last October and booked for the end of Sept 2024. We loved both the inside and outside spaces and knew it would be perfect whatever the weather. Leading up to the wedding we did have a few different wedding co-ordinators, but on the day everything ran very smoothly. The food was wonderful even though we didn’t pay extra for any upgrades and we stayed in the Japonica suite which was AMAZING. The team also sorted out an area in the restaurant for all our guests for breakfast the following morning which was a nice touch. Wotton House will always be our special place, we are even going back there for afternoon tea one month on from the wedding to celebrate 🥂

Dream Wedding Venue
Wotton House was everything we’d hope it would be and more for a wedding venue. As soon as we saw Wotton House at their wedding open day we knew it was the perfect place for us to get married. The grounds are beautiful and the whole venue itself is charming and full of character. Jodie our wedding co-ordinator was fantastic and helped make planning our wedding stress free and was always on hand to help us and a pleasure to work with. On the day of the wedding the whole team were amazing and everything went according to plan. Special shoutout to Tracey and Bill (toastmaster) for co-ordinating the day exceptionally. The wedding breakfast was also brilliant and we had many positive comments from guests on their meal and the whole smoothness of the day. Overall we couldn’t recommend Wotton House enough, and if we could we would do it all over again and wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you Wotton House for the most magical day.

Everything we hoped for and more
My partner and I found Wotton House online and noticed they were having an open day for future brides and grooms. We had quite a few venues lined up, and though Wotton was on the higher end of our budget, we felt we had to see it anyway from the pictures we’d seen online. The moment we stepped into the Old Library, we both knew this was it! And the magic you feel walking in on an open day is exactly how it felt on our actual wedding day. Throughout the process, our wedding coordinator, Jodie, was nothing short of incredible! She was responsive and extremely understanding of the level of stress couples go through during the planning process. She listened to our needs and ensured everything we needed was recorded and went according to plan on the day. Thank you for always bringing such enthusiasm and loveliness to every call and meet we had! The day itself was so beautiful and eventful. We packed the day with so much, from the fab getting-ready breakfasts for the bridesmaids and I, speeches with video presentation on projectors, leading hordes of guests to the right places, gathering guests for cake cutting and first dances, and so much more. Without Tracy, Bill and the team, the day would not have gone as smoothly as it did. It was like a well-oiled machine how efficient everything was! A big shoutout to Bill too for reassuring us throughout the day and reminding us that we’re never late, and that guests are on our timeline! Big thank you to the Wotton House team for making our day so very special! ✨

Absolute dream day
I saw Wotton House via instagram and after seeing photos of the Old Library and the Italian Gardens, I said to my fiancé (at the time!) "look at this place, no matter what the weather, it will be a stunning setting for our ceremony. It was the only venue we visited in person after a lot of online research and we happily went ahead and booked a Friday wedding for August 2024. We lucked out with the weather and got our dream ceremony outside. The food was excellent. The venue handled pretty much everything, through careful planning and communication with Jodie, our coordinator. It meant on the day, us and our guests could just enjoy everything without having to send the bridal party or groomsmen on any wild errands. The toastmaster provided (Tim) was the cherry on top and made the day go as smoothly as possible. Our room (Primula) was incredible and we loved the thoughtful touches that were gifted to us too. It was perfect having an all singing all dancing venue, with rooms on site, a spa lots of our guests enjoyed and an excellent breakfast buffet! Thank you so much WH team for making it a day we'd never forget.
