We are thrilled to share that Wedding Chicks, one of the world’s premier platforms for luxury wedding inspiration has featured Hamswell House. The feature spotlights Victoria and Adam's stunning celebration—a masterclass in designing a sophisticated, food-focused destination wedding in the English countryside.
For couples planning their wedding from London, the USA, or abroad, this real wedding feature perfectly demonstrates how a historic English country estate can seamlessly host a modern, multi-day tented reception.
"For their supper club-themed wedding, these two foodies went all out... reminding us that for international guests, a destination wedding should also feel like an idyllic British vacation."

Designing a Curated Weekend Experience near Bath
Victoria and Adam transformed our sweeping lawns and historic stone orangery into an intimate, high-end dining experience. Working alongside an elite vendor network—including design by The Bijou Studio and fine-art documentary photography by Samuel Docker—the couple utilized our 75 acres of private Cotswold countryside as a stunning backdrop for their evening marquee celebration.
Flawless Logistics for London & International Guests
One of the key reasons Hamswell House was chosen for this high-profile destination feature is our exceptional accessibility for traveling guests. Situated just 15 minutes outside the historic city of Bath, our venue allowed guests to travel effortlessly:
• From London: Direct 80-minute high-speed rail connections from London Paddington straight to Bath Spa station.
• From the US & Abroad: Streamlined transit links via London Heathrow Airport (LHR), with premium local chauffeur services escorting guests directly to their luxury boutique lodging in Bath.
By choosing an exclusive-use private manor house that balances secluded Cotswolds privacy with effortless proximity to Bath’s five-star hotels, the couple provided their international guest list with a flawless, stress-free weekend itinerary.
