A fairytale wedding venue
The wedding day itself was impeccable. From the food to the service, every detail was executed beautifully. Our guests could not stop raving about the venue, the incredible food, and the exceptional service.
I had always envisioned a wedding venue with a romantic, European feel without having to travel far from home, and Hempstead House was exactly what I was looking for. The property truly feels like something out of a fairytale, and our guests were completely in awe of how breathtaking it was.
We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting or a better experience. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and I would highly recommend Hempstead House to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable wedding!

The absolute BEST!!!
On the wedding day itself, everything ran flawlessly. The staff was attentive and kind, the setting was breathtaking, and the food was absolutely outstanding — it’s been two months and we are still getting nonstop rave reviews from our friends and family about the dinner, cocktails, and all of the above. Guests also couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and smooth the entire evening felt, from the ceremony to the dance floor.
We walked away not only with unforgettable memories, but with immense gratitude for the team that brought it all to life. If you want a venue where you’ll feel cared for, where your guests will be wowed, and where your day will truly feel magical, look no further. THANK YOU EMILY AND JULIA!!
