About
Five established independent UK wedding venues came together in 2018 to build the platform they wished they had: Dewsall Court in Herefordshire, Elmore Court in Gloucestershire, Iscoyd Park in Shropshire, Pennard House in Somerset and Wasing Park in Berkshire.
They still run their venues on Hostology today, hundreds of weddings and events a year between them.
Our founder venues are not case studies or launch customers: they are the reason the platform exists, and their event businesses (different in size, in county and in how they handle catering) are what keeps it honest.
Hugely successful events businesses in their own right, each of them powered by Hostology and each of them represented in how it works.
Samantha Vaughan and Jane Robinson
Samantha runs Dewsall Court with her family. Along with their team they host weddings, parties, courses and retreats in the Herefordshire countryside.
Anselm Guise
Set in the Gloucestershire countryside, Elmore Court is a beautiful destination for weddings, parties and corporate gatherings, and an estate with a serious rewilding programme behind it.
Philip and Susie Godsal
Phil and his family restored a Georgian family home and turned it into the stunning venue it is today, hosting weddings, parties and corporate gatherings on the Wrexham and Shropshire borders.
Harry and Georgina Dearden
Harry and Georgina run Pennard House in the breathtaking Somerset countryside, hosting weddings, parties, courses and retreats: the founder venue that works with an external caterer.
Joshua Dugdale
Set in the Berkshire countryside on the Wasing Estate, Wasing Park makes for a truly breathtaking venue. Josh and his team run the busiest diary of the five, across weddings, parties, courses and retreats.
“We now spend much more time with each client, meaning we can offer an even more personal service. This is what we have been waiting for since we opened in 2010.”
