Emily & Jamie's Wedding

“We had the most unbelievable wedding at Hoghton Tower – it was a truly unforgettable day and a lot of that was down to the stunning venue and wonderful staff.”

Despite the multiple cancellations due to COVID, the team were so flexible and made every effort to accommodate the dates that were shifting around. Furthermore, the staff were incredibly helpful in the run-up to the big day, proactively ensuring that they reached out to other suppliers to make sure everything ran smoothly – which it did.

The venue itself is breathtaking – as guests arrived on the coach, there was an audible gasp as they saw the imposing driveway and tower. And once they were inside it only got better – Hoghton Tower has wonderful variety meaning that there was lots of opportunity for our guests to spread out and engage in different activities. We had an Irish fiddler in the quad, garden games on the lawn and a photo booth in the bar area. There really was something for everyone. The wedding breakfast was held in the Great Hall, which is so striking that it really doesn’t need much additional decoration – it was really quite overwhelming to be able to celebrate our special day in a venue that is steeped in history.

When we were first looking around Hoghton Tower in order to source a venue for our wedding, we were amazed by the number of people who came up to us and, having had their own weddings there, implored us to book this venue and not consider any others. Now we know why. We’re sure we will return to Hoghton Tower in the future and, when we do, we will not hesitate to encourage other couples to hold their own weddings at Hoghton Tower though, to be honest, we’d be amazed if any convincing was needed!

The team – thank you for everything. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding – it genuinely was worth all the heartache of the rearrangements!
