Hawkstone Hall & Gardens

When your daughter gets married you want the day to go perfectly. Thanks to a combination of this enchanting, beautiful venue and the most impressive staff I have ever come across in any sort of venue the day could not have been any better and goes down as one of the most special days in my life. As father of the bride, I lost count of the number of times our guests said the most complimentary things about the venue and staff. The attention to detail in the new refurbishment is a thing to behold and nowhere do you feel it would have been even better if... because it already was! We were greeted by smiling, courteous, intelligent staff eager to ensure every aspect of our stay and event was as good as it could be. The food was outstanding at the wedding breakfast and evening reception as was the standard of canapes at the drinks reception. The rooms and suits at Hawkstone Hall are another special element of any stay and once again I find myself using the word outstanding with many rooms enjoying magnificent views across the estate and beyond to the rolling Shropshire countryside. For me, however, it is the standard of service that makes or breaks any venue. I would describe the service at Hawkstone Hall as Disney like. Nothing is too much trouble. The staff and service we received during our stay was truly impressive. Particular mention should be made of James, Laura, Scott and Jonathan who all went beyond anything I could reasonably have expected. They are a credit to the management at Hawkstone Hall and their enthusiasm for their job and the venue is quite something. There were also many other staff showing similar qualities. Thank you all for making memories that will last a lifetime.

We went to the most spectacular wedding at Hawkstone Hall a few weeks ago. The ceremony was held in the Chapel (which is to die for!), followed by drinks in the gardens by the lily pond, dinner in the ballroom and the reception in the refectory. It was so nice to be able to use the whole building and move around, instead of being cramped into one space. The food and service were great, everything was piping hot and plentiful. We very much hope to be invited to a wedding here again soon!

From the first visit we fell in love with this venue. Driving up the driveway and rounding the corner and catching that first glimpse was breathtaking. The welcome we received was so warm and made us really feel special. The whole team were such a big part of our day, nothing was ever too much trouble and the service we received felt so personal. The Hall itself is stunning, from the grand rooms to the bedrooms, even the toilets are out of this world. The grounds are absolutely stunning for photos, there is so much to see and explore. The food was amazing and beautifully presented. All our guests were blown away by this venue, we could not fault one thing about Hawkstone. It truly is a hidden gem.
