Our most treasured day was made possible by the remarkable efforts from the entire team at Ashdown Park. We had the most magical wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! From the moment we booked the venue, the team went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was everything we dreamed of and more. Ashdown Park Hotel & Country Club exceeded all of our expectations. The combination of the stunning venue, exceptional service, and the dedication of the staff made our wedding day truly unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend Ashdown Park more highly to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue. It was truly a dream come true!
Mr and Mrs Robinson
It was incredible from start to finish and everyone was amazing. The whole day went so smoothly, and everyone said how amazing it was. Everyone made such a big effort and a big thank you to everyone also working behind the scenes to make it all go so well. I just want to also say a big thank you to you and your team for making it so perfect and special. Nothing has been too much trouble and the whole day went so smoothly. We both felt so well looked after and the venue itself just looked amazing and was better than I could have hoped for.
Mr and Mrs Sampson
I can’t thank you and your team enough for making our day so special in every single way. Dylan was just fantastic from start to finish as well as yourself, you both listened to the details so carefully But it was absolutely perfect and more than what we dreamed of. I also want to mention how INCREDIBLE the food was at the wedding breakfast. Everyone was complimenting it, some were saying it’s the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding.
Mr and Mrs Lewis
When we say perfect, we really mean perfect. Ashdown Park hosted the perfect wedding reception for us, we cannot thank the staff enough for the service they provided.

Everything was on time, coordinated to perfection, and we thoroughly enjoyed our day. Many of the guests saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to!

Milly, our coordinator, was truly excellent throughout, replying promptly to emails with any queries we had, and made us feel so calm and welcoming on the day. We cannot thank her enough for making our day so special.

We will never forget it and we will be staying every anniversary. Ashdown Park has a very special place in our hearts.
Ellie & James
We could not have imagined it to have gone any better than it did. The wedding, the food, the venue, the staff; everything was out of this world and provided us with such a memorable day that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
Nothing was too much for you and you all made both Sarah and I feel totally at ease with what we thought was going to be a stressful planning experience...it turned out to be the complete opposite due to your professional nature and we would both like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
We cannot wait to return to Ashdown in the future to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries.
Mike and Sarah
WOW - just a really massive thank you to everyone, especially Kai, for making our dream Wedding a reality. It was the best day of our lives.
The staff were absolutely flawless and all our guests had the best time.
We will treasure the memories and be wearing our personalised dressing gowns for years to come!
Cassie & Sam
My husband and I just celebrated our wedding at Ashdown Park Hotel on Saturday 30th October. It was genuinely the BEST day ever!

Ashdown Park Hotel is set within an absolutely stunning building and grounds. The service of the staff was impeccable and we couldn’t fault it in any way! All of our guests are still raving about how beautiful the hotel is, and how amazing everything was! A huge thanks to the kitchen team, waiting staff and a big shout out to Tanya, Iona, Gaetan and David Blight the Toastmaster!

LAUREN & JON
We cannot tell you how happy we were with you guys at Ashdown Park Hotel! You looked after us and treated us like royalty from the Thursday lunchtime that we turned up. Nothing was ever too much trouble.

Our wedding day was THE best day, it surpassed our expectations! And that was because of all of the staff there! The way you looked after us all...seeing things we hadn’t even spotted yet: providing a towel for the photos outside, a cushion for my Nan etc. It’s the small gestures along with the big ones that make the difference!

I could keep typing as we have been left with the best memories and that’s down to all of you! We haven’t stopped telling people how amazing a wedding with you guys is and we hope our recommendations make a difference. Our photographer Anthony even said you made him feel like a member of the wedding party and not a member of staff as he is made to feel at a lot of his venues.
KAREN & GILES
"Thank you" seems like such a low-energy response compared to what I am feeling right now. The weekend went by so quickly, and I am only now able to reflect on what a magnificent event we had.

The venue was stunning, the food was excellent - and everyone was so impressed with the venue. Although, to be fair, who wouldn't be? Room 1 was just fantastic, and the personalised robes after our ceremony were an excellent touch - one for which we are so very grateful.

The staff, lead by Dylan, were great and just couldn't do enough for us. People will be talking about last weekend for a very long time. We will definitely come back to our special place at some point; Ashdown Park Hotel is a part of our story now.
CHRISTINE & JASON
The venue is breath-taking. This professional friendly team really do know what they are doing to make a wedding super special ...I was completely relaxed knowing the incredible team had everything in hand. I'm so glad I choose Ashdown Park and we will return every year to celebrate our anniversary! Thank you so much.
TARA & CHRIS
We cannot thank you & the team at Ashdown Park enough. Our day was absolutely perfect. Thank you for our personalised dressing gowns too.

Everyone commented on how stunning the venue looked, and the amazing food and service. I honestly couldn’t fault anything.
NIKKI & MATT
We honestly had the BEST day ever! Everything went smoothly (apart from the weather during the photos) and we enjoyed every minute!
Thank you so much for your card and for the robes (we love them).

Ashdown is absolutely perfect and everyone had such a lovely time!
The photographer said that we should have some in a week. He absolutely loved the hotel and scenery as did everyone else, it really is a magical beautiful place!
AMANDA & JACK
From the moment we arrived for our first meeting with Tanya and the team, to the moment they waved us off the morning after our wedding, everything we needed was done for us. The venue itself is beautiful and has such character and we had the most wonderful day that we will look back on and treasure forever.
Colm & Helen
We want to thank you sincerely as we had the most wonderful day. Nothing about the day would we have changed. You and your staff really pulled out all the stops to make us feel very special and absolutely nothing was too much bother. To think that we would have the wedding of our dreams during a global pandemic was unimaginable yet you achieved it.

The venue itself was stunning, the guests were all blown away by the transition from downstairs to upstairs. We want to acknowledge your patience with our indecisiveness on the indoor/outdoor seating with respect to the weather and also accommodating the singer both inside or outside. Finally, the beautiful touch of the embroidered dressing gown gift in our suite was just wonderful. It really was a lovely surprise when we made it back to our suite after the day.
EMMA & RYAN
We wanted to drop you a quick line to say a massive Thank You to all the team. You were all excellent and we had the best day ever!
From the moment we met you we knew you would do us proud and you really did! Dylan and the rest of the staff were exceptional from the moment we checked in we were looked after and made to feel special and toastmaster Stephen took the lead and was such a calming influence.
So thank you to you all with all our heart
Steve and Jo Tester
We cannot thank the staff at Ashdown Park enough for helping us celebrate our special day and making it so utterly memorable. The beautiful venue and setting delighted all our guests - it certainly had the wow factor. Our suite was gorgeous, we loved the dressing gowns. The food was lovely, the room was decorated beautifully and our suppliers were fantastic. Everything went to plan because of the team's attention to detail and ability to manage under pressure. It is this level of service that makes the event so special!
