If you’re planning your wedding in the next 12 months and searching for a venue that offers both heart and heritage, let me gently guide your attention to Dewsall Court.
On Friday 26th and Saturday 27th April 2025, this extraordinary exclusive-hire wedding venue in Herefordshire is opening its doors for a rare and beautifully curated Open House event. This is not your typical open day. These are private, one-to-one appointments, carefully designed to give you the time and attention to truly connect with the venue and the team behind it.
And in celebration of their 15th anniversary, Dewsall is offering a 15% saving on weddings taking place within the next 12 months. It’s a generous and limited-time offer, ending April 1st, 2026, and dates are already filling quickly.
To book your personalised tour at Dewsall on the 26th or 27th April, visit this page or email Dewsall directly.
And now, let me share some Dewsall magic with you…
There are some places that linger long after you leave, not just in memory, but in feeling. Dewsall Court is one of those rare and unforgettable places.
I had the joy of staying at Dewsall Court last year as a guest. Tucked away in the glorious Herefordshire countryside, this Grade II listed country house sits within 12 acres of wild gardens, ancient woodland, and spectacular views over the Black Mountains.
From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease. As someone who notices the energy of a place, I can say with full honesty that Dewsall felt like coming home. Warm, welcoming and filled with love.
This isn’t just a venue. It’s a cherished family home, restored and run with soul.

What to Expect From a Wedding Stay at Dewsall Court
Inside the house, every sensory detail has been thoughtfully curated, from soft lighting and subtle scent, to carefully chosen textures, tones and furnishings.
I was lucky enough to stay in the bridal suite, where I enjoyed the most restorative sleep and a luxurious soak in a vintage rolltop bath. The house accommodates up to 28 guests, and I’ve never encountered a more exquisite collection of bathrooms in one place!
There’s also a brilliant party barn, a tucked-away After Party Den in the cellar, and a sense throughout the estate that this is a place for connection, joy and celebration.
At the heart of Dewsall is the kitchen and it’s the kind of kitchen that feeds both stomach and soul.
Seasonal, locally sourced ingredients are prepared with love and care by a passionate team of chefs who are rightfully proud of what they do. Every meal is a celebration of flavour, provenance, and generosity – an experience in itself.
Ceremony Spaces Full of Charm
When it comes to saying your vows, Dewsall offers a host of beautiful settings.
You might choose the hand-painted Chinoiserie Room, the rustic Wainhouse barn, the garden canopy, or – for a traditional service, the ancient church just through the gate at the bottom of the garden.
From intimate weddings to celebrations for up to 170 daytime and 200 evening guests, Dewsall has the flexibility and the flair to bring your vision to life.
A Family-Run Wedding Venue With Heart
What makes Dewsall truly special is the people behind it. This is a family-run venue, led by Samantha Vaughan and her wonderful mother Jane, who pour love and attention into everything they do.
Together with their brilliant team of Wedding Coordinators, Catering Managers and Event Planners, they ensure that every couple feels welcomed, supported and fully seen. There is nothing formulaic about how Dewsall operates – this is personal, thoughtful service, grounded in warmth and professionalism.
To truly understand the soul of Dewsall Court, you need to feel it for yourself. And on Friday 26th and Saturday 27th April, you’re warmly invited to do exactly that. In the words of venue owner Samantha Vaughan…
“For those love stories in the making and ready to write a key chapter in the next year, Dewsall Court is holding its beautiful Open House on April 26th and 27th. Explore our exclusive-use venue in full bloom, sip a delightful spring refreshment and tuck into canapés on arrival.
