August 2024Chloe Caldwell Photography - Hengrave Hall is a magical wedding venue. As a wedding photographer I have the pleasure of working at many of the UK's best venues, and Hengrave is without doubt amongst them. From the moment you arrive down the driveway you're blown away by the majestic buildings and landscaped gardens. The team at Hengrave are wonderful! They're so attentive to guests and fellow suppliers alike, and will make any couples wedding day a dream. I can't wait to be back again soon to capture more beautiful weddings at Hengrave.

August 2024We both had a fantastic day and the Hengrave team were a huge help throughout! A special mention for Izzy for all her help because she made a real difference on the wedding morning. Hengrave is an incredibly unique venue with the amazing drive up to the venue taking your breath away! This is before you even experience the dining outside in the courtyard and beautiful gardens with roses, lavender and wisteria! Also, the food is incredible. Milsoms are such an excellent partnership for Hengrave Hall and we are so so pleased that this company is linked to the venue. Their catering is 100% worth every penny! This venue and the team are outstanding in their support and care for you on your wedding day. They listened and helped us have the most wonderful day and we are very thankful for their hard work. We would recommend Hengrave to anyone xxx Photo credits to the amazing: https://www.claresmithphotography.co.uk/

July 2024From the moment you enter the driveway you are captivated by a special venue that is breathtakingly beautiful. I've photographed lots of wedding venues and Hengrave Hall stands out as one of the best. Every room is gorgeous and great for getting stunning photos. What makes it truly special though is the team at Hengrave Hall. Everything is planned and performed to perfection. They really care about having everything just right for your wedding day and nothing is too much trouble. Every wedding I have been to there runs so smoothly that you can just spend all your time enjoying yourself with your family and friends which is how a wedding should be. Thank you Hengrave Hall for always making me feel so welcome as a supplier and I can't wait to be back again!

July 2024Our wedding at Hengrave Hall was truly a fairytale come true. As a bride, stepping onto the grounds felt like entering a fairytale! From the moment we arrived, the seamless and stress-free process allowed us to focus entirely on the joy and excitement of our special day. The staff at Hengrave Hall were exceptional, attending to every detail with grace and expertise, often anticipating our needs before we even realized them. They seamlessly coordinated vendors and ensured every aspect of the ceremony and reception was flawless. Hengrave Hall itself is a masterpiece of historic grandeur and natural beauty. The serene gardens provided a breathtaking backdrop for our drinks reception on the west terrace. Additionally, having the option for our families from the USA and UK to stay together in the beautiful rooms added an extra layer of convenience and warmth to our celebration. It truly felt like a home away from home for all our loved ones. In short, Hengrave Hall exceeded all our expectations. It's more than just a venue—it's a sanctuary where dreams are brought to life and love stories unfold. To any couple searching for the perfect wedding venue that combines beauty, organization, and heartfelt care, look no further than Hengrave Hall. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
