Couldn't recommend enough!!

We just wanted to send a HUGE thank you to Shilstone and the team for their outstanding efforts over the last two years to make our wedding day happen.

It’s been such a difficult time, but the help and support you have given us, from the first viewings, to the change of dates, to the actual day itself has been phenomenal and we couldn’t be more grateful to have had our wedding with Shilstone and the team. They made a difficult year so much easier.

We have heard nothing but glowing feedback about our wedding day, including how beautiful the venue was, and how everything went so smoothly, even down to the smaller details. We cannot comment enough on how beautiful the whole venue is; the accommodation, grounds and house are immaculate and we are so so happy to have had our special day at Shilstone.

We would love to thank Lucy for organising our viewings and our original date, my family and I were so blown away with Shilstone that my now husband allowed me to book it without even viewing. A huge thanks to Sebastian for the endless phone calls trying to reorganise a new date for 2021 after the awful year that was 2020. A massive thank you to Hollie for the endless support and communication, any little question we had was answered so quickly and nothing was ever too small. A big thank you to Jo for organising everything initially, walking us through the whole day and answering any last minute questions we had. A huge thank you to Jules for her coordination and managing on the day (I think I’d told her numerous times, after a fair few proseccos, that I’d love her to run my life the way she ran the day!) everything was taken care of and we had absolutely nothing to worry about. And the last thanks goes to all of the service staff as Shilstone, everyone commented on how professional everything was, and how smoothly the day went, even down to the tiny details such as the golf buggies up to the barn.

We are going to recommend Shilstone and the team at any chance we get, and we hope we can visit Shilstone again in the future to relive the beautiful memories we now have. We will forever cherish our special day and the memories that were made.
