From start to finish our whole experience with the team at Hidden River was unbelievable. Nothing was too much, or too crazy. They went above and beyond for us every step of the way!

The venue is like no other, as soon as we first saw it we knew it had to be ours. Even as a blank canvas before adding any of your own personal touches it is perfect.

Our guests RAVED about the food at our wedding, we have had sooo many message saying it was the best food any of them had ever had at a wedding. And our guests with dietary requirements were blown away with how well and seriously they were catered for.

The accommodation Hidden River has to offer is second to non. Myself and my new HUSBAND have now stayed in 4 different lodges there and every single one is just magical! Our guests were also blown away by this and had the most beautiful weekend with us.

If you’re considering Hidden River as a venue for yourself, JUST DO IT! You will not regret it. Thank you to everyone at Hidden River (especially Robyn our coordinator) for helping make all our dreams come true 🤍✨

P.s. if you are dog lovers like us, Hidden River welcome them everywhere!🐾

Honestly our wedding at hidden river was everything I’d dreamed of and more… the place is absolutely beautiful, the first time we went to view it, we fell in love and knew it was the perfect place to be married. It had everything we needed for a large wedding. The accommodation is amazing for guests and it is perfect little get away whilst attending the wedding. Hidden river take care of all the food and drink which for me was a huge weight off my shoulders, and it was beautiful, every single person enjoyed their meal couldn’t fault it. The drinks flowed all day/night long, they were well stocked up for all us Scottish party people… also got in a soft drink as requested.
The girls at hidden river are all so attentive and always there for you when you have a question, nothing is too big or too small for them and they will give you the answer you need. They made wedding planning super easy, straight forward and more enjoyable.
I wish I could do our wedding day all over again, I had the best day ever, as did all of my guests. Thank you to hidden river for making it such a special day for us.

Hidden River is a stunning location, rain or shine. We have been well looked after from start to finish. Robyn and her team made the day feel seamless so my new husband and I were simply able to let it all soak in. Spending the night before in the cabins really helped us to switch off from the world and get ready to be married! Our friends and family all said it was one of the most fun and relaxed weddings they have been too. We are over the moon.

We visited hidden river cabins in April 2022 with family & friends.

We got married here too, which was a fantastic day and our wedding coordinator was amazing, we couldn't ask for anything more on our special day! The cabins, barn and beautiful views really made the perfect wedding venue and really look outstanding on our wedding photos!

We hired three cabins; kingfisher, bluebell & foxglove. We looked at so many different pictures on the run up to our visit, but they could not prepare us for what we were about to walk into- the log cabins are OUT OF THIS WORLD! They have everything you could ever need when staying away from home, and the views from each of them were spectacular! The cabins were spotless, and the beds are so so comfortable!

We visited the barn restaurant, the food was delicious! What a beautiful restaurant it was too!

We can't wait to come back!

Our wedding day at Hidden River Cabins was absolutely everything we could have hoped for and more - the setting was breath-taking, the cabin itself was gorgeous and perfect for our small party (8 guests plus an idiot dog) and the staff were amazing. We wanted a nice low-key, relaxing day and it was 100% perfect. Our meals at the Hidden River Cafe (and breakfast the following morning) were also outstanding. Everyone who was present is now trying to find any excuse for us all to come back - roll on our 1st anniversary!

Every guest has commented at how perfect our day was. The venue is perfect.

As you walk around the Hidden River site, you get a real picture/sense of what your wedding could be – relaxed, at your own pace and a place where guests can unwind and leave their stresses behind for the weekend. Upon our first visit to the wedding venue, we were stunned at just how beautiful the entire site is. We helped ourselves to a coffee at the gorgeous and intimate Hidden River Café while every passing staff member greeted us with a warm welcome. We met with the owner Rob who kindly showed us around the entire wedding site. The accommodation is all built to an exceptionally high standard and warming/inviting. We quickly felt at ease and all of our questions were answered and reassurances were given, particularly as we had concerns over cancellation policies due to the pandemic.

During the planning phase, we worked with the team (Gillian, Robyn and Laura) who answered our questions professionally and promptly. The team did everything to accommodate our requests (even left field requests such as renting shuffleboards) and it was a joy to plan with them. Laura became our dedicated wedding coordinator and invited us up to the Hidden River Barn for our first face-to-face planning and food/wine tasting session. At this point we began to work together on the formal wedding planning and documentation. Laura explained everything we needed to do in the run up to the wedding, discussed the timings of the day and provided advice on what works best (in her experience coordinating many weddings) to ensure flow throughout the day. We tried the Greek banquet sharer for our tasting and loved every bit of it. The quality of food was fantastic (something all of our guests subsequently complimented the venue on). We asked for one small amendment to the menu with the chef and an extra supplement from the Moroccan menu, both of which were deemed no trouble at all (though we felt cheeky asking!) giving us plenty of comfort. We continued to converse with the Hidden River team over the coming months to get all the final details, ad hoc requests and documents completed for the big day.

Fast forward to the wedding weekend – just so happens that Storm Arwen decided to roll on through. We were greeted at the Café and decided to have lunch before setting up. The food was delicious. We were given access to the accommodation early. The fires had been lit to give the cabins warmth prior to our guests’ arrival (a lovely touch) with a personalised welcome instructional sheet for guests of our wedding who quickly began settling in. We decided on the ‘hidden river feast’ package for the weekend with burgers in the evening for guests at the Café on the Friday night. We enjoyed great food and great service throughout the evening. This is when things were starting to go wrong due to factors beyond anyone’s control! Storm Arwen was in full force. Some of our guests were unable to get to the venue due to fallen trees blocking the entrances/exits (and some motorways were being closed such as the A1). Two of our guests were unable to get back to their accommodation (which was offsite) as their taxi had not turned up. The staff at the cafe offered to drive them home. Where else would you get service like this? The staff took it upon themselves to do everything they could to help our stranded guests.

The wedding day arrived. We woke up to no electricity at 6am due to the storm damage. We were given an emergency number to call for the venue, which was a direct line to Rob (the owner). We outlined the situation and the fallen trees that were blocking the path (after the father of the bride went investigating the damage). By 9am, Rob had rallied a team (with local farmers) to cut through the trees and move them off the road and sourced a backup generator, all so that our day could go ahead. Contingency planning at its finest. The venue and Laura worked directly with our suppliers and the registrar, explaining the best path (recently cleared) to enter the venue site (as satnav would have taken them to fallen trees). In such a unique set of circumstances, I have never seen such dedication, tenacity, teamwork and compassion as I did that day. From the top window of the Hidden River House, we saw Laura (our coordinator) literally climbing over large trees to be with us and tell us what was happening and the plan that was already in motion. The electricity came back on at 10am and our ceremony was only delayed by 45 minutes and the rest of the day went as scheduled. For the effort that we witnessed that day, my wife and I will forever be grateful to the entire Hidden River team.

Our guests stayed on site for the full weekend and we were even gifted with a thick blanket of snow on the day after our wedding. Relaxing in the hot tub, surrounded by beautiful snowy scenery, was the perfect way to spend our Sunday. We also had a delicious 3-course roast dinner as a part of the weekend feast package.

Hidden River is a stunning, unique venue and will forever have a special place in our hearts. We loved it from the moment we stepped foot on site, our journey from then on was seamless and our ending was the most perfect wedding day we could have hoped for.

Many couples (us included) will look at multiple venues when planning their wedding and if you have any doubts about Hidden River… all we can say is don’t. How many people can say their wedding venue helped stranded guests get home, chopped down and even climbed over trees, sourced backup generators and supported all of your suppliers to save your wedding…. And did it all with a reassuring smile on their face? Hidden River is a truly a remarkable place.

Hidden River Cabins are more than I can put into words! INCREDIBLE! The cabins are more than I could even imagine. I have looked at every picture there was but when I walked in I honestly couldn’t believe how amazing they are. The fire was lit, the cabin was warm, it was homely with excellent beds, hot tub was hot and we all had such huge smiles on our faces.

The Hidden River Team were incredible also. So friendly & helpful. They made our wedding more than we could have imagined.

The food in the cafe was amazing! Every single person around the table commented on how good it was and even said some of the best food I’ve ever tasted.

I honestly couldn’t recommend them more!! I’ve come away feeling like I need to go back & see everyone, need to be back in the cabin and need some more of the delicious food.

We had our wedding at Hidden River over a weekend in November. It’s started on the Friday with drinks and tapas in the cafe, the wedding on the Saturday and then a roast back in the barn on the Sunday. At first I thought organising a three day event would be stressful, but the wedding coordinator and staff at Hidden River made it all very easy and so all we had to think about was enjoying time with our family and friends!! The food was incredible and the venue was beautiful!! I would highly recommend Hidden River if you are after a unique and very special wedding!

Everything about our wedding was just amazing from start to finish, everything ran smoothly and stress free enabling us to enjoy our special day with family and friends.
The venue is stunning as it is and truly magical in all seasons, for us we wanted a autumn wedding which was perfect.
All the staff were amazing, helpful and saw to everyone’s needs.
Wouldn’t change anything about our day it really was our dream day which we will never forget.

Myself and my partner actually booked this venue before viewing in person which sounds like a gamble, however, everything about the venue exceeded expectations from the stunning scenery, the venue itself and the attentiveness of the staff. Right from the initial booking the staff and organisers kept in touch and couldn't have been more helpful going out of their way to make sure our day was perfect. The wedding itself was a dream come true, everything ran seamlessly and a big part of this was down to the hard work and efforts of the staff, particularly Gillian who went above and beyond, even managing to provide a sewing kit for the brides dress. The guests were also well looked after and have also commented on how beautiful the venue was. We also booked the farmhouse and 2 of the cabins which were immaculate and absolutely breathtaking. We cannot thank everyone involved enough for making our day so special, one we will never forget. We would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have the perfect wedding day.

Robyn and the team helped make this the day the best day of our lives. They were so helpful and friendly.
The food was unbelievable and Tom the chef made us feel part of the process.
Our wedding was held in June, right after wedding restrictions had been lifted but covid restrictions were still in place. This meant just a couple of days before the wedding we found out it could go ahead for our 115 guests but we didn’t know what our wedding would actually look like and what was possible under the restrictions. The team worked really hard to make everything as perfect as it could be and alleviated all of the additional stress that the covid restrictions brought. They researched exactly what we were allowed to do and informed me of all of my options.
All of our wedding guests loved our venue and raved about the food. On the day we had about 30 different people ask how we had managed to find such a gorgeous venue hidden away in idyllic surroundings.

Couldn’t have asked for a better place to get married. Staff are incredible

Such a great time with our kids (and their partners). Perfect for our requirements and staff always helpful. This venue will forever be a special place and we’re having a Christmas gathering in 2022. #juliewinspear #karen@Roses&heartsboutique

We booked our wedding at the start of the pandemic, a year before we married with every hope of covid trotting on before then... hmm little did we know it was here to stick around for a while but we hung on to hope with the dream to have our wedding at hidden river cabins. We had so many concerns and worries as you can imagine with a pandemic going on and the team here were so empathetic, professional and responsive to our worries and needs. They were amazingly flexible and our day went ahead without a hitch, the most perfect day we could have wished for. We stayed for a few days with our families in foxglove, bluebell and the hidden river house and these memories are something we will never ever forget. The setting, venue, accommodation and staff were all incredible! Thank you from the Richardson-Smiths, May 2021 x
