Everybody commented on how fabulous everything was, including one ‘best meal I’ve ever had’ comment so please send our thanks to the chef and pass on the glowing praise. It was honestly unforgettable and you were all fantastic. Jo, you’re amazing.We just wanted to briefly say an enormous thank you to all of you for going over and above on Saturday.

We both fell in love with Shilstone We both fell in love with Shilstone
We had our wedding at Shilstone back in August and we cannot thank the entire team enough. From the first meeting to the big day they couldn’t do enough for us. We both fell in love with Shilstone within 10 minutes of arriving back in January 2018 on our first visit and we just knew it was where we wanted to celebrate our marriage. Hollie and the team leading up to the day were always on hand to answer questions and help me when I was having a moment. They also kept our secret entertainment from everyone including my husband. On the big day itself, things didn’t go to plan with my wedding car but everyone at Shilstone made sure the rest of the day ran like clockwork. Tara was there waiting for us and helped (me especially) calm down and was so reassuring. The staff were fantastic in every aspect of the day. Everyone from the second we arrived even till now still comments on the day and how beautiful the venue was. We would both highly recommend Shilstone House to anyone because for us it was everything we dreamt of. Special thanks to Sebastian, Hollie, Tara, Dave and Jo you made our day a day we will never forget. We hope we can one day return.

Dear Hollie, Jo, Tara and all of the fantastic Shilstone team, Thank you so much for all your hard work in making our wedding day such a fantastic day. We truly had the most incredible day and can’t thank you and the staff enough. All our guests commented on how smoothly things ran, and it was such a joy as the Bride and Groom to know everything was in such safe hands. The decoration, food, service and everything in between were more than we could have hoped. Thank you for helping us pull it off! We feel very lucky to have found Shilstone and luckier still that the sun shined on us all day!

We were absolutely delighted with the wedding venue at Shilstone House. Sebastian and his team were so welcoming, friendly and accommodating. We had travelled 5 hours all the way from Yorkshire to see the venue and were so impressed with the staff and whole set up that we booked that day! It really is everything we were looking for and so much more. We cannot wait for our wedding day in 2017.We were absolutely delighted with the wedding venue at Shilstone House.
