“Hi Catherine, I wanted to quickly reach out to give you, Cheryl and Becca (and everyone who worked so hard on the weekend at Bowood to make our wedding special) a MASSIVE THANK YOU from both of us. The day was everything we could have wished for. All the guests loved the venue and said many times to us that it was such a welcoming place, and all the staff were incredibly lovely. So thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts. We’re both still on cloud nine and currently packing for our little honeymoon to Italy. I’m sure you will see some of our guests coming back to stay and visit. We definitely are, in fact we’ve already booked New Year’s Eve!!!

Jodie & Chris, June 2025

We had the most magical day and truly cannot thank you, Suzanne, Rebecca and the entire team at Bowood enough for making everything run so smoothly and for making us feel so well looked after. One of our favourite parts was Rebecca reassuring us with "we are on Bowood time" whenever I felt nervous about timings, which really put me at ease! The venue looked absolutely beautiful, the food was perfect, and we received so many compliments from our guests. We were also thrilled to be able to have the ceremony outside! We are so grateful to Bowood for helping to create such a wonderful and unforgettable day for us.

Polly & James, April 2025

"We were married at Bowood in 2022, but had the chance to participate in a wedding in March this year. The hotel is marvelous, the room where we attended the wedding was the same we knew. The service was exceptional and the reception went on into the wee hours."

Aaron B Cain (Tripadvisor Review)

"Stayed at Bowood Hotel for my son's wedding. The venue was perfect in all respects, staff very professional and most helpful nothing too much trouble. The accommodation was of the highest standard and the food was first class. After the wedding ceremony, we all went to the House for Dedication of the wedding. I could not fault Bowood Hotel"
