Everyone at Colville was just incredible. Claire was spectacular and just put us at ease, and our day went off without a hitch.

Jessica & Philip

Colville Hall and its staff are literally amazing. The venue is breathtaking, and the wedding coordinator ensures everything is perfect for your big day. The staff are helpful, and the owner ensures everything goes smoothly. I would 100% recommend!

Georgie & Harry

A little note to say the most enormous thank you for everything you did to make our big day so special. We had the most magical, fantastic day, and we’re forever grateful for everything you did to ensure it went without a hitch. Everyone fell in love with the venue; it was such a gorgeous place to get married, and your patience, flexibility with dates, calming words and big smile were much appreciated. We can’t thank you enough!

Emma & Doug

We had our wedding at Colville Hall in June, and it was the day of dreams. We knew straight away that Colville was the place we wanted to get married, and it didn’t disappoint; it was such a stunning venue. We loved spending parts of the day outside and inside; all our guests have said how lovely it was. Claire is absolutely fantastic and was on hand whenever we wanted to ask her questions. She ensured we were comfortable with everything and made the day go so smoothly. Thank you to Claire, Philippa, and everyone else at Colville for an incredible wedding!

Jack & Lynsey

Thank you for everything you did for us in the lead-up to the wedding and, of course, on the day itself! It was absolutely perfect, we wouldn’t have changed a thing, and we couldn’t have done it without you!! You made the whole planning process so easy and enjoyable for us, and it was so lovely to sit back and relax and know things were taken care of on the day. So many of our guests commented on how great you were – you’re amazing and such a credit to the venue.

Helen & Gavin

It was incredible from start to finish; honestly, it wouldn’t have come to life without you. You were amazing! Thank you so much again for everything; it feels strange now it’s all over…
