Catching someone's eye at just the right moment of the speech and the tears of silent laughter that ensue. Holding your partner's hand as you walk up together for the first dance. Sitting down next to your best friend and breathing a second whilst the whole day washes over you. The night sky lit with flaming torches, the warmth of the fires. At Martinstown House they strive to create those magical moments.

Testimonials:

Well, where do we start? From the moment we chose Martinstown House for our ceremony and reception we knew we'd made the right decision. Jessica, Edward, and Andrew could not have done more for us or our guests. They helped give us the dream wedding we'd imagined. Going above and beyond for us and nothing was too much trouble. There's no putting it into words. As a venue, Martinstown House is incredibly beautiful and welcoming. The ceremony area, well nothing can compare to it. From the tin roof to the wood frame and even the chandelier, it's a woodland setting that dreams are made of. All of our guests are still commenting on it. And the food was incredible, well what we had of it haha, nerves kicked in for speeches and we barely touched our meal but the comments from guests about the fabulous meal and the variety of options rings true (our tasting menu blew us away- thank you, Andrew). We just can't recommend Martinstown House enough. You will not find a more beautiful place to hold your wedding and as we said above, Jessica, Edward, and Andrew are amazing. You just can't go wrong with this venue. If we could do it all again we'd be back there in a heartbeat. Thank you guys xxx

This summer Andrew and I got married here and it was the most perfect venue we could have ever imagined. Edward, Jessica, and Andrew were an absolute pleasure to deal with, so open to our suggestions, no matter how quirky! Their calm and cheerful approach to wedding planning ensured a stress-free affair. The food was absolutely delicious (and so much of it!), the ceremony in the woodland was magical, the house looked beautiful and the rain held off until we were all safely sat in the marquee. Thank you so much for helping Andrew, myself, and our friends and family to have such an enjoyable and memorable day

Martinstown House was the venue for our wedding in October 2017 and to say we chose wisely would be an understatement. From the first meeting with Jessica in the spring, we were treated with warmth, enthusiasm, sage advice, and genuine, personalised wedding planning. Hurricane Ophelia and Storm Brian tried their best to cause trouble for the great team of Jessica, Edward, and Andy but our entire day was perfect from start to finish. I would recommend the professionalism, ambiance, food, and hospitality of this great venue - all our family and friends are still raving about it
