Your wedding story begins
the day you first visit

Emily & Gareth, September 2023

We find ourselves at a loss for adequate enough adjectives to describe just how extraordinary this wedding venue is. Nothing about it is average and unless you've had the privilege of getting married there, it would be hard to fully appreciate the magic that Stockton House holds.

Early on, Amy and Ellie became integral to our wedding experience. They provided unwavering support through texts, emails, and valuable ideas, even influencing our choice of napkins and tablecloths, all whilst giving us constant words of encouragement.

When the big weekend arrived, Amy and Ellie were there to guide us through setup and ensure everything ran smoothly.

Choosing Stockton House as our wedding venue was the second-best decision we ever made, with the first being our decision to get married in the first place. We can't imagine our day without this extraordinary venue and the exceptional team behind it. Words alone cannot express our gratitude, but we want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Abbie and Shane - February 2024

We always said if we made it 10 years we would get married. It was our 10th year anniversary of being together and I surprised Shane with our very first visit to Stockton House!!

The moment we drove up the driveway and were greeted by such a beautiful building, I just knew this was where I wanted our wedding, I just had to persuade Shane!

We said yes to the venue and just under a month ago, on the 17th of February 2024 we made it a reality and got married!

I just wish I could do it all over again!

If you want a story to grow old with, a place to be married that will stand for a lifetime for you to visit often and a church that is so perfect it felt like your own castle and you were the king and Queen, Stockton house is the wedding venue of a lifetime. (They do have an award now too, did I forget to mention... and it's a pretty important one - Ask Amy!)

All of this was thanks to the beautiful team that run this beautiful house like a home of their own. The support we had was incredible on our planning journey. What a journey it was... our children were cared for like we would care for them ourselves. I mean Amy was tucked up in bed with our youngest at one point watching Peppa pig, whilst Ellie helped Tom in the dining room to feed all of our evening guests, whilst making sure Shane and I were ok. The whole thing was literally second to none..

The food was incredible,
The hospitality was incredible,
The house is absolutely stunning and
The team, well... They are truly something else!
Thank you to Amy, Ellie, Tom, Mandy and Sue and all the other special team members for everything you did for us all..

You will never know how much all of you individually played such an important role in our wedding day, Shane and I will be forever grateful.

Not only have we had the wedding neither of us will forget or regret, we have a Stockton family who we can't wait to come and visit again already!

This house will hold a dear place in my heart always!
Thank you for everything, thank you for making this little girl's wedding day dream, a reality!

And to future couples, questioning weather this is the place for you, don't pass on the opportunity. We have our forever story, now go and write your own!

Me’sha and Darren - July 2023

We celebrated our wedding at Stockton House in Shifnal, Shropshire. We paid our deposit in late 2021 to reserve our wedding date for the 15th July 2023.

Stockton House and it’s delightful staff: Amy, Tom, Ellie et al, exceeded our expectations and helped to make it a day that we’ll never forget. The secret garden room perfectly held our modest party of 35 guests during the day and 50 for the evening (I believe they will accommodate a maximum of 100 guests). The house and the grounds are beautiful and have a charm you only get with an historic venue. Tom the head chef worked with us to create a delicious menu within our budget whilst accommodating specific dietary requirements that left no guests hungry and who are still talking about the quality to this day.

All bookings include the entire house with it’s 7 luxurious rooms with views over the beautiful Apley estate. It has a very relaxing atmosphere and there’s no rush to kick you out as they hold only one wedding per weekend. The two house keepers, Mandy and Sue, were a dream and looked after us beautifully.

If you’re after a venue that will create a bespoke wedding day, leave your guests talking about the amazing food and service and leave you with memories that you’ll never forget, look no further. Highly recommended.

Faye and Ilya - June 2024

We could not have asked for more from our wedding venue and choosing Stockton House for our wedding was the best decision ever. We took a risk and booked Stockton in 2022 when renovations had barely started and never looked back. Stockton House is absolutely beautiful and it was amazing to see all of the vision boards and ideas come to life; we will never forget the feelings of excitement when we visited for the first time. The whole planning process was smooth and Amy, Ellie and Tom supported us along the way. We felt so welcome each time we visited Stockton and we were both so comfortable there. Nothing was too much trouble; from helping and encouraging Ilya when he felt nervous about his speech and sitting with him as he ran through it the day before, to Amy crawling around on the bridal suite floor with me when I lost the back of my earring (not once but twice) just as I needed to get into my dress! We could not have been more supported by the fantastic team at Stockton. The food was amazing from our menu tasting, to the meal the evening before the wedding, on the day, and not forgetting breakfast! Tom is an incredible chef and we are so grateful that he was able to make our favourite Russian dessert; he put so much time and effort into this and it was amazing. All of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food! Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives and Stockton House was the perfect venue for us. We only wish we could do it all over again. Stockton now feels like a second home and the team have become friends and we can’t wait to visit again in the future. I cannot recommend this amazing venue enough! Thank you SO much for making our wedding dreams come true.
