Hockering House Reviews
What we liked initially about the venue was that the actual owner (Sam) lived on site and was personally involved in almost every detail. We also liked that only 1 wedding a week is held there and therefore the whole thing feels so much more personal.
You will not find anyone more conscientious, driven and accommodating than Sam. Without her, there is no way we’d have had the wedding we did. She is amazing, nothing is too much trouble. On the day itself you don’t have to worry about anything, Sam communicates with all suppliers, oversees the running of everything, even acts as a waitress! Whatever you need, she just does.
The venue itself is just beautiful and the suppliers Sam works with are all brilliant. Our food was gorgeous, the bar was excellent, marquee beautiful.
Honestly we just had the BEST day, in the grounds of a beautiful house with beautiful people and we are so thankful to Sam for helping to make it all happen. August 2019
We wanted to find a place which had style and beauty but without the formal / regimental feeling, where kids could run around and be kids and adults could relax and enjoy our special day.
Our 1st visit to Hockering House was just over a year before our wedding day we met with Sam at her beautiful home and was taken through all the different styles of weddings that have taken place over the years and one thing was clear was the passion we got from Sam that she delivers that perfect day.
What can I say we were sold booked it there and then.
Sam where do we start amazing is an understatement from your support though out the whole wedding planning to arranging the last minute marquee as in the day before due to our lovely British weather and coming up with plan b/c/d just to ensure we got the maximum from the venue on our wedding day.
We have received so many compliments from our guests from best wedding ever !! to how did we create such a relaxed day with so many people and children all of which is one big complement to you and your team of recommended suppliers.
Mat at Best Bars was fantastic and Natilie at Trio’s catering who most definitely delivered on food they both share in your passion of delivering the perfect day their staff were so professional and nothing was to much trouble.
Sam thank you for everything and to anybody considering Hockering House JUST BOOK IT !!!
You won’t be disappointed.
Our guests loved the BBQ from Trio’s & the gin bar from Best@Bars was a huge success! To finish the day we even camped in one of Hockering House’s beautiful bell tents (the groom also camped the night before & loved it!).
Thank you again Sam for everything! We would love to come back & renew our vows in the future… our guests are already asking for Wilsonbury 2019 at Hockering House!

From the first time we met Sam through the next 18 months she was fabulous to work with. Nothing is too much trouble, she is so professional and organised and just a really really lovely person. Her recommendations for suppliers like Constance Rose and Best@Bars were spot on, and on the day Sam barely stopped moving as she kept everything running smoothly.
Hockering House itself is stunning. The house, the formal gardens, our wedding spot in the woods, the meadows with the marquee….loads of our guests complimented us on finding such a lovely venue – in fact is was the first only one we looked at…after meeting Sam and seeing the space it was the easiest decision ever !
We glamped in the meadow that night with some friends and had a great time! Super comfy beds in luxurious bell tents with everything we needed to have a great time. It was ace to wake up the next morning and enjoy the afterglow of a wonderful day in a wonderful place.
Thankyou for everything Sam. You’re the best. Abbi & Niall xxx
