Romantic & Beautiful !

We recently had our daughter's wedding at Twickenham and everything was beyond our expectations. The beauty of Twickenham & surrounding property was breathtaking! Our wedding planner, Bethany was the absolute best planner I could ever hope for. The staff was wonderful to work with and the catering by Morchella Provisions was outstanding. Twickenham is a beautiful & romantic wedding venue.

Amazing, Very personable!

I thought I wrote my review after the wedding 2 years ago. Bethany was an amazing help from start to finish. I was planning my wedding all the way from San Antonio,Texas. She was very patient and very helpful days leading up to the wedding and the day of. Beautiful scenery at the Twickenham house. However the ride up is a to the venue/house is bit rocky. But you’re on a mountain I wouldn’t expect anything less.

A Dream Come True

Never have I been as compelled to write a review as I have for this venue and their staff. From the day we first spoke with the Twickenham team, they provided an absolutely world class experience. Leigh was an absolute rock star, helping my wife and I through every step of the wedding planning process. The venue is even more beautiful than you could imagine, and the 3 night stay was incredibly comfortable and memorable for all of our guests. There was no pressure to use preferred vendors (other than catering but this is clearly disclosed up front), however, they were happy to provide recommendations, all of which turned out to be phenomenal. Their partner restaurant delivered a delicious meal, and were very attentive to all of our guests at the bar. Leigh and her team ensured that the entire weekend was as perfect and stress free as we could have possibly hoped for. We truly could not be happier with our choice and would recommend this venue and team to anyone.

The staff at Twickenham were easy to work with and helped our event run smoothly. The hall is the perfect space for a dance party, too!

The most amazing venue ever!

Leigh and the entire crew were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! First of, the venue. It is an amazing spot which will transform your wedding from great to phenomenal! The views are breathtaking and the accommodations are 5-Star. Secondly, Leigh Harrow! I could not ask for any better wedding planner! I mean literally, one does not exist. From day one she has been two steps ahead of us, she knew exactly what we wanted to make our day phenomenal! She had recommendations that we would have never thought of. Her recommendations for chef, musicians, flower artists, makeup artist, photographer and videographer were top notch! She from day one was not only our wedding planner but our friend as well. If we forgot something, she was quick to get it for us without a second thought. I just can't imagine having anyone else help us plan our wedding! She is the only one you want planning your event!!! The chef, John Walsh is on par with any Michelin Star Chef out there. Everything from the Hors d'oeuvres to the main course, to the desert was as good as you will find in any Michelin Star rated restaurant out there. Our guests had high praises for the chef and how amazing every aspect of the culinary part of our wedding was. The rehearsal dinner was no different! It was some of the best food we could have hoped for and more. I would hire him for any event you may have! Twickenham House is the place to go for your wedding or event. I could not imagine having it anywhere else! It would not have been the same!

Perfection

After our engagement, we toured several venues but NONE compared to Twickenham. As soon as I saw the cliffside, I knew I had to get married there. The venue was stunning and our wedding planner, Bethany, went above and beyond at every point of the journey. Our entire wedding party stayed on the estate for the weekend and LOVED their experience. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough. I wish I could go back and relive the weekend again and again!

Truly Magical!

Twickenham was everything we could have ever asked for, and more! We truly had a wedding nothing short of magical. The view from the cliff is something you have to see to believe! The reception hall is simply breathtaking, and the Twickenham house itself made for the best time ever with all of our friends. Having a wedding during COVID is stressful enough, yet the owner Jocelyn and her wedding coordinator Bethany made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. We could not have asked for a better coordinator than Bethany! She answered all of our questions and made sure our wedding day was truly a dream come true! Everything turned out even more amazing than we could have ever hoped for. When you see this place in person you will know there is nothing else that could compare. Then when it's all done up the way you dreamed it to be on your big day, it will be something you will never forget! Thank you Jocelyn, Bethany and Twickenham for the best day of our lives!

Stunning Private Estate

We had the chance to tour Twickenham with Bethany and she was great at helping us visualize the space and how everything would flow on our wedding day!

I'll start by saying that we did decide on a different venue based on a couple of factors personal to us and our family/friends. The view of the mountains and the stone detail for the ceremony made that a very difficult decision!

The grounds have a large brick house and a smaller house for guests to stay on the property. They are decorated by the owner who has an eye for gorgeous English antique pieces that are really unique and would be great photo moments for you and your guests. Some of the rooms have many beds for family or bridal party who all know each other well and some rooms are more private for couples, parents, etc.

The drive up to the house seems a bit long on paper but when I tell you it is BEAUTIFUL. I mean, the drive alone is a whole experience.

I think this is a great wedding destination for a warm and inviting wedding where you get to have your family and friends around you the whole time and have your ceremony, reception, and rehearsal dinners all within walking distance

Great!! The venue is beautiful and the staff were excellent.

Twickenham is definitely best of class. The venue was perfect. The views from the terrace on the cliffs are a perfect spot for a wedding.

The Twickenham house is a spectacular lodge with exquisite decorating. They need a new category because the home is 10 star!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
