    Hamswell House is an incredible wedding venue that you won't regret choosing! The location in the Somerset countryside is breathtakingly beautiful and provided a stunning backdrop for our special day. From the very start, communication with Rupert was seamless and easy. He was relaxed and accommodating, allowing us to personalise our wedding exactly as we envisioned. Our guests were thoroughly impressed and couldn't stop raving about the gorgeous grounds and scenery. We would wholeheartedly recommend Hamswell to anyone looking to make their wedding day truly memorable.

    Simply stunning venue for the best day of our lives (11th May). We would wholeheartedly recommend! The Hamswell team made us very welcome from start to finish and offered us lots of help and guidance in the build up to the day. I must also mention the gardeners at Hamswell who have produced something very special which elevates this to a truly magical venue - our guests were totally blown away by the surrounding beauty. Thank you so much Hamswell - a day we’ll never forget.

    Mat and I had our Summer wedding at Hamswell house on Saturday 27th July and Sunday 28th July and it was the best decision we made. From the very first time we saw Hamswell house, we were blown away by how beautiful the house and grounds are and the incredible views of the countryside. It was the perfect place for us to have an outdoor summer wedding where we could get married, surrounded by nature with our nearest and dearest! On our wedding day, Hamswell house looked pristine. In the evening the lanterns looked stunning and the little touches they did didn’t go unnoticed. From the get go, we had guests complimenting the venue and the different areas we could explore as the wedding day went on- from the entrance walk to the beautiful house, to the ceremony under the lime tree, to the orangery confetti shot, the reception drinks with breathtaking views and the beautiful marquee setup, there was a lot of variety and this kept our guests guessing! We even had a very special golden hour photoshoot in the field above the house. Rupert, the owner was very friendly and helpful, always answering emails efficiently and providing recommendations. It was great to have such accommodating hosts as our allies for our big day. From the beginning, you were so welcoming. We were made to feel very welcome on the Sunday, when we all returned for a relaxed Sunday buffet which turned into fun games on the lawn afterwards. We cannot recommend Hamswell house highly enough for a wedding! It was the best weekend of our lives and a lot of our guests said it was the best wedding they have been to as well. Thank you so much Rupert and Hamswell House for such fond memories. I am sure we will return for a little wander in the future, to walk down memory lane!
