I visited Soughton Hall for a wedding. The venue and grounds are absolutely stunning and the setting made for a grand yet intimate occasion. The rooms and bedrooms are elegantly decorated in keeping with the period. The staff were always available in the background. Congratulations to them all for a beautiful venue.

My husband and I married at Soughton Hall in North Wales last October and we couldn't have possibly wished for a better venue. When you book your wedding at Soughton you are ensuring that your day will be seamless and elegant. Each meeting with Kayleigh (our wedding planner) was welcoming and informative. The grounds and the house are stunning and so very cosy. Each corner of the property is a beautiful photo opportunity.

The bedrooms are spacious, timeless and memorable; my favourite thing about the venue was that my family will never forget the service and comfort they felt in their amazing rooms. The North Tower is particularly beautiful. The staff are so professional, we felt very taken care of during the night by Kayleigh, Cheryl and Stephen. Soughton Hall in the autumn will always have a special place in our hearts. If you're looking for a wedding venue that can guarantee you a perfect day, you can depend on Soughton Hall.

Stunning location and really does scream luxury. The building is fantastic open log fires, panel walls beautiful painting. Beer prices are reasonable and the marquee in the back is stunning too.

Cracking place, lovely location friendly helpful staff nothing to much trouble, food was wonderful. One little complaint was that it was very hot inside rooms and bedrooms but could be turned down in room on radiators. We stayed on ground floor lovely big spacious bed and a really big bathroom with walk in shower, breakfasts next morning was brilliant great choice and well cooked would highly recommend this place as we enjoyed the whole wedding day night here thank you.

Visited this fabulous place for a wedding reception in their marquee. First of all, when you arrive in darkness and approach it along the impressive tree-lined drive this magnificent building stuns you you with it's grandeur. It's equally as gorgeous inside with wonderfully friendly and hardworking staff. A really historic building; check it out online for its story. A toasty warm reception hall with an open fire greets you before you make your way through number of cosy sheeting areas to a well stocked bar.

Perfect for a wedding reception, the beautifully decorated marquee with its own bar and dance floor, plus separate lounging area is just ideal. Has to be the best wedding reception venue we've been to!
