Luckiest Friday 13th!

We had the most amazing day at Hylands! Waking with the forecast being positive I knew from then it was going to be a perfect day. It was amazing to see all the work we put in brought to life with the help of guys at Hylands and our suppliers! The team made the day run smoothly and never felt anxious or stressed about anything due to the high organisation. There was plenty space for our younger guests to run in the amazing fields till their hearts content. The pavilion also provided a lot of room to dance the night away! We could just enjoy spending the day together, with our loved ones. If you want to have a magical wedding the estate and team are your go to!

Great Vibe

I’ve been coming to Hylands for about 10 years now and the Hylands team has always made me feel at home. Not a single wedding I’ve done there has had a dull moment. There's always a great vibe about the place and the house itself which always feels great to walk around. The friendliness of the staff which always gives it 10 points straight away. Their coordination is so on point they make the day go so smoothly not only for me but for the Bride and Groom.

Working at Hylands is always a delight because it’s such a stunning and versatile venue. No matter how many weddings I’ve photographed there, each one feels fresh and unique, thanks to the countless beautiful spots for capturing those perfect moments—from the grand architecture to the lush gardens. The variety of backdrops never fails to inspire me. What makes it even better is the fantastic team at Hylands House. They’re incredibly friendly and supportive, ensuring that every event is seamless.

I just wanted to write to say a massive thank you for all you and your teams hard work in ensuring that the wedding was a success. Grace, your team on the day were fantastic, always in the background, but ready with assistance when required. All our guests have commented on the location as well as the wedding itself, which could not have happened without you.
