One of a kind....
We can’t thank you and your team enough for giving us the most amazing day. We’ve spent about 15 years talking about marriage so it was such a big decision for us to follow through and book a venue. High House felt right from the moment we watched the online tour and then was confirmed by the way in which we were greeted by Sam. She immediately made us feel comfortable in what felt like a very daunting but exciting chapter in our lives. As for Ella, there are no words. She’s one of a kind.

A real life fairytale
Where do I start...High House from the moment we walked in, we just knew it was the venue for us. Abbie & the High House staff are just real supermen and women to the wedding industry, a true credit they really are. Our day was so perfect from start to finish and that is all down to the staff at High House. The grounds are so beautifully kept by the wonderful High House Gardening Team and all our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. It was truly a real life fairytale, the

Can't recommend this venue enough...
We got married at High house 16th September this year. We cant recommend this venue enough. Everyone made it such a stress free and enjoyable day. Ella's planning and organisation is amazing and the day ran so smoothly and everything was how we wanted it to be. Everyone was so attentive and couldn't do enough for us and our guests We had many comments saying how amazing the staff were and nothing was too much, also on how beautiful the venue was.

Breathtaking
Ella, our wedding coordinator, deserves a standing ovation. She was not only fantastic but incredibly detailed and responsive throughout the entire planning process. With her at the helm, everything unfolded seamlessly. Now, let's talk about the venue itself. It's nothing short of breath-taking. From the picturesque bridge to the beautiful barn, stunning gardens, and that dreamy vineyard – it's a photographer's paradise. And let's not forget the black and white dancefloor.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

One of our brides had sadly lost her dad not long before her wedding day. She wanted to have something here that would remind her of her dad throughout the day, he loved fishing so she set up a chair and fishing rod next to our pond which overlooks our reception drinks space. It was a lovely touch to remember her dad.
