The venue is absolutely stunning which our guests also commented on, from the impressive driveway entrance to the beautiful decor inside. We had our ceremony in the Gold Room which had so much detail we did not need to decorate too much further. We then moved through to the Drawing Room for our Wedding Breakfast and Evening Reception. This was the perfect size for our wedding and we were able to decorate the whole area (including the bar and lounge area) creating an inviting atmosphere. The staff are absolutely amazing, from the initial enquiry to the planning to the actual day.

I am so happy my (now) husband and I decided to have our wedding here! Everything about our big day was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we looked at this venue, I know it was everything we wanted. Our day of coordinator, Leah, was absolutely lovely. Not only is she attentive, but she is kind, thoughtful, and incredibly detail-oriented, making every part of the process seamless and stress-free. I can’t be more grateful to have had her by my side.

Salomons Estate was more than I could have asked for. Erin, our coordinator, was so on top of things throughout the day and so helpful. We had to plan this whole thing from abroad and it was quite stressful but Erin was so calm throughout the process and there were no issues whatsoever. The venue was absolutely beautiful and such a great space for hold events - highly highly recommend! Also, the food was excellent!

We had a summer wedding at Salomons and were lucky enough to have an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. It was the perfect place to host our guests (we had 140 guests) and there was a lot of space for everyone to explore, sit and walk around. We had many compliments about the quality of the food. Our suppliers even said it was the best meal they'd had while working! We did the Sharing Roast and having the guests in chef's hat to carve the roast was a very popular part of our day. I can't compliment the events team at Salomon's enough. In the last month before the wedding, they were so responsive and went above and beyond.

Salomons was a beautiful location for a wedding! We had a winter wedding and chose it because we liked the indoor setup for our wedding for approximately 100 people, and also wanted on site accommodation. However, the grounds are beautiful and we got lucky with the weather and have had many pretty shots taken outside.

We knew instantly when we arrived to view the venue that this was where we wanted to get married. We were made to feel at home, and nothing felt like too much bother. The team were constantly on-hand to answer questions throughout the process, and catered to all of our requests. We had never really thought about an outside wedding, but the South Terrace took our breath away when we saw it in person!

Willow did so much for us especially me (the bride), she was on point with her communication from the start and made sure everything I had asked for, happened. I told her I wished she was my maid of honour! She made me feel at ease and accommodated us. The rest of the staff working on the day were fantastic, they were friendly, accommodating and so helpful. The staff serving the canapés made sure I ate and was so grateful for it. The bar staff were so friendly and chatty. Everyone kept saying how friendly the staff were! If you are contemplating on having your wedding at Salomons we a hundred percent recommend you to. We cannot fault ANYTHING! Ooh we also had pre-wedding dinner the night before, and the food was exquisite!

This venue was simply outstanding! The food was amazing, and there was plenty of it. Great value for money as well. The coordinators on the day and in the run up were super helpful and made everything run smoothly. We were as relaxed as we possibly could have been on the day and that was thanks to the team. The grounds are lovely and made for some great photos. Bar service was great on the day as well and the guests were kept happy all day. Would highly recommend!

Wow what can I say.. the staff of the venue really catered to our day. We wanted the big theatre room but then switch rooms for the disco. Staff during the whole process were so helpful and no ask was too big or too small. Lauren our coordinator made me feel really at ease and everything was how I envisioned and requested. Food was delicious and the grounds are breathtaking. Compared to so many brochures I got, the price was very reasonable but without compromising. Would recommend 100%!
