Outstanding Venue!
This venue was simply outstanding! The food was amazing, and there was plenty of it. Great value for money as well. The coordinators on the day and in the run up were super helpful and made everything run smoothly. We were as relaxed as we possibly could have been on the day and that was thanks to the team. The grounds are lovely and made for some great photos. Bar service was great on the day as well and the guests were kept happy all day. Would highly recommend!

Amazing from start to finish
Wow what can I say.. the staff of the venue really catered to our day. We wanted the big theatre room but then switch rooms for the disco. Staff during the whole process were so helpful and no ask was too big or too small. Lauren our coordinator made me feel really at ease and everything was how I envisioned and requested. Food was delicious and the grounds are breathtaking. Compared to so many brochures I got, the price was very reasonable but without compromising. Would recommend 100%!

Perfect Wedding Venue
We could not have chosen a better venue to be married in. The food is not only the highest quality I've had for a large catering event (93 people) it was also high end restaurant standard. Our designated event manager Fiona was wonderful at guiding us through the preparations, and she and her team were fantastic on the day, meaning we had to think about nothing other than enjoying ourselves. The reception team were wonderful in looking after us on the morning of the wedding, with lovely touches such as fruit to keep us going, and prosecco to calm our nerves. The venue is wonderful and spacious, and the grounds are beautiful. The staff are attentive. If we were to do it all over again, we would pick Salomons.

We genuinely couldn’t have picked a better venue or team of staff and we feel extremely lucky to have got married here
We couldn’t have picked a better venue. Our wedding was changed 4 times over the course of a year and every time Salomons were so accommodating and there to support us every step of the way. They replied to emails promptly and never made us feel like we were asking too many questions. The grounds are absolutely stunning and so is the inside. We were lucky enough to get married outside and then have our wedding breakfast and reception in the Science Theatre and it really was just beautiful with incredible food and amazing staff that made you feel like the most important people in the world. They genuinely couldn’t have done more for us. Two people that really helped us were Courtney and Fiona. Courtney supported us through all of our changes and Fiona was our wedding coordinator. They are incredible women who went above and beyond for us both. Fiona did an excellent job before and more importantly on the day of the wedding and had everything under control, organising vendors, and decorations whilst still making us both feel calm and important. We genuinely couldn’t have picked a better venue or team of staff and we feel extremely lucky to have got married here. The photos show the stunning grounds, but also the smiles that didn’t leave our faces all day. Thank you Salomons!

Wonderful wedding reception
This was just perfect for my cousin's wedding. The location is utterly beautiful, the grounds in keeping with nature and the house understatedly grand with intriguing and fine decor. What made the day so perfect though, was the impeccable service. Smiling, polite, moving seamlessly and inobtrusively amongst people and tables to see to guests every need. Observant, so that empty glasses, water and wine bottles were removed and replaced. Every request regarding dietary needs was prepared and catered for. I can say that the staff at Salomon's provide the most accommodating and relaxed service I have experienced.

Perfect wedding day
Had our wedding here on the last weekend of May. Brilliant day in all, unforgettable. House, grounds and views all stunning. Management before and during the day faultless - thank you Georgie and Vicki. Effortless management and coordination of many external suppliers. The flow of the day was managed really well. The catering manager was particularly good. Food was excellent, exceeded the tasting we had. These are our comments but had many similar comments from the guests.
