Wow what can we say, a truly incredible day we will never forget! The team at Shilstone have been superb from our first enquiry right through to the final good bye at the end of our wedding.

Absolutely amazing venue
We chose Shilstone as our wedding reception venue and couldn’t be more happy that we did. We had the most amazing day at this beautiful venue. We had the best day and cannot believe how well managed everything was. Everything ran like clockwork; there was no stress, everything was thought of and the team went above and beyond to make sure everything ran well. Everything was perfect. We had so many compliments on the food - the best wedding food! All the staff were great and very thoughtful.

The most perfect wedding day!
Our wedding day at Shilstone was truly perfect. The food, service and atmosphere were beyond exceptional, and the staff could not have been more friendly and attentive. The support we received from the in-house coordination team in the lead up to our wedding was superb; always happy to help and so efficient! We could not recommend Shilstone more highly and just wish we could relive the day over and over!!!

thank you, thank you, thank you
Hello, It’s Luke and Emma here from the Saturday 5th October wedding. We just wanted to write you all a message to say a massive thank you for all the help and support towards our wedding and on the actual day. Can I do a big thank you to Lucy for decorating the place, it looked incredible!! We were over the moon and it was so magical. Another big thank you also to Jo, Tara, Dave and Hollie, all their help in the smooth running and communication for the day, it went so perfectly! Also to everyone behind the scenes and on the day thank you, thank you, thank you. The day was absolutely perfect and the weather held out, we have some beautiful pictures to cherish! We can’t believe it is all over and done, wedding blues have kicked in. Honeymoon time is coming now though. Thank you again, everyone was so complimentary about the venue and the day, you all do an incredible job. Warm wishes, The newlyweds Mr and Mrs Atkins 🙂

"...you delivered everything we wished for"
Dear Hollie, Jo, Tara, David and all colleagues involved in the Howell-Hutton wedding last Saturday! Thank you so much for all your hard work and energy expended on our behalf! The event passed off seamlessly from reception and canapés through wedding breakfast to the last dance and departures. The organisation was quiet and efficient, the food simply delicious (thank you so much to Chef and her staff – just great!) and the venue magical – rendered even cosier by the worsening weather outside! Thank you to everyone who had a hand in making this such a memorable day for our joint families and friends: the administrative and events teams who carefully planned so many elements beforehand and all the staff on the 28th both behind the scenes and front of house. Please know how appreciative we are. We placed this unique event in your hands and you delivered everything we wished for. Sincerely, Geraldine and Adrian
