Kelsey & Lewis,


We had our wedding at Wivenhoe House on the 22nd of June and the day could not have been any better.

Wivenhoe House is a beautiful location for a wedding and all the guests were impressed with the accommodation and the services provided.



When we were looking for a

wedding venue we wanted a venue that was close to Colchester, had accommodation for guests to stay and somewhere that we could do a twilight wedding with a BBQ. Wivenhoe House ticked all of these boxes.



We had our initial meeting with Pheobe at 11am and we had received our quote at 1pm. We made a couple of amendments and received the updated quote on the same day. We knew if Pheobe was this efficient that Wivenhoe House was the right choice for us.

Pheobe has been absolutely amazing since our first meeting. Pheobe has been professional, calm, excitable and has gone above and beyond our expectations. On the wedding day Pheobe was spectacular. She had absolutely everything handled and looked after, even things we hadn't thought of.



We would like you to know how lucky you are to have someone like Pheobe working for you.

Another member of staff who deserves a special mention is Lionel. We have met Lionel a few times during our visits, meals and celebrations at Wivenhoe House and he has been memorable every time. We want to thank him for making the decision to make the big changes to the normal service to make sure our wedding day was perfect.

Another person you are very lucky to have working for you.

On our wedding day every member of staff was fantastic, incredibly professional and made sure that we were looked after the whole day.

We will always recommend Wivenhoe House to everyone we speak to.


We want to thank you and all of your staff for making our wedding day so special. We will never forget it.

Mr & Mrs Farthing

It was some months ago that we decided to book Wivenhoe house for our wedding; what a brilliant decision that was. From the start until the wedding day, we had exceptional care and advice, and nothing, however, was too much trouble.
The day was wonderful, and we felt very special.

Had our wedding here in December was the best day we could have wished for. Phoebe our wedding planner was excellent, we could not have asked for more. Everything we asked for was achieved. The bedrooms are amazing, everyone said how lovely they were. The food was also very good. I would recommend

Well what a fantastic venue from start to finish, we felt like royalty.
We are an older couple and wanted something simple so with Lisa’s help decided on a cream tea for 21 guests.
She wavered the minimum number and worked out a good reasonable cost, so we booked it and deposit went down and we

went about organising our wedding.
We booked a room for two nights so I stayed a day before.
They stored our cake the day before and took everything off our hands, vases of flowers, everything.
The wedding day was amazing.
We had my grandsons as photographers they are 7 & 8 with the help of the registrar, she placed them facing the guests to get the best shots. As the boys they were 4, Lisa moved button holes etc. This was a simple wedding made special.
I had silk flowers in vases, they were placed on the table during the service and by the time we sat down they had moved to the wedding table, it all makes a difference.
Something very special, I gave a table place on a piece of A4 cardboard and as we went to enter the wedding breakfast they had made up an A3 table plan using images of the name places with butterflies and putting it in a stand. It made a difference.
A very helpful thing especially with the cost of living after the deposit is paid, you get a date for the balance to be paid by so I was paying with whatever money I had during the weeks leading up to the final payment. I managed to pay via bank transfer bits here there and everywhere. Very flexible.So after boring the pants off everyone.
The staff everyone from kitchen to house keeping (who thank you for our surprise by the way it was wonderful) were exceptional.
Professional but approachable even tolerated the boys who were good but children will be children so another big thank you to the lady with the 5 year old for keeping an eye out. The building was magnificent. Everything was spotless. The food wonderful
I’m gluten and milk intolerant and it was all catered for including breakfast.
Happy days.

Just a few words to say how very pleased we are with how the whole Wivenhoe House Hotel team ran our wedding day. Many thanks to Lisa Grantham for setting up a very efficient personalised plan for us which ran perfectly, and Vusi and Lauren at reception for whom nothing seemed too much

trouble.
Hats off to Lionel and his team for their impeccable and discrete service, and to Pheobe and Gemma for all their help on the day.
We were also taken with how beautifully our bedroom and function rooms were set and the calm and efficient way the entire day flowed faultlessly.
We feel that we should also thank Camilla Legg for Jayne's hair and makeup, and Rob and Andy of Embrace Photography for integrating so well with the Wivenhoe team to make our day flow seamlessly.
Overall we and our guests enjoyed our time with you immensely and will be recommending you wholeheartedly.
