Amazing

What an amazing venue. We were married there two weeks ago and we wouldn’t change a thing. From start to finish was fantastic Kat and Kieron were so helpful with all the questions we had to ask nothing was too much trouble we would definitely recommend this venue.

Worst day of our lives

Be very wary of booking this venue - we had a very poor experience from start to finish, resulting in our wedding being cancelled 48 hours prior to our 'big day'. No apology or accountability. In fact, I'm disappointed to see my previous review seems to have gone 'missing ' so I thought I'd make sure others are warned ⚠️

We couldn’t have asked for more!

We couldn’t have asked for more and we got lovely garden photos when the sun was out, we were so pleased with all the staff, the rooms, the lovely atmosphere and being treated so well throughout the day. I would like to thank Kat & and Emily for arranging everything before hand but also huge huge thanks to Kieron and Andrew who were on hand for everything and made it all work, can’t say how much we appreciated them. All our guests loved the venue.

Part 2!

All of your staff were amazing on the day, the bar staff, the ladies serving throughout the day, your staff on reception who were so helpful and off course you Kat, Emily and Keiran. We couldn't of asked for a more amazing team of event planners who kindly managed to do everything we asked for and listened to all of our requests. We will never forget it!

Where do I start....We are still overwhelmed with how amazing and magical you all made our Wedding Day. Thank you all SO SO SO much for everything you done for us and putting together the most amazing day that we had envisaged. It was everything we had hoped for and more and we couldn't have been happier. It has been a pleasure working with you all and we are so grateful for you putting us at ease right up until our wedding day and we are so happy we chose you as our venue.

Perfect Wedding Venue

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, we wouldn't have changed anything. The staff were all very professional and a special mention to Kieran and Andrew who made sure everything ran so smoothly. They was always there to assist but never in our faces. The day ran like clock work, due to all the work by the staff going on behind the scenes. We were made to feel special from the day we booked the venue until we checked out after the wedding. We would not hesitate in recommending the venue and I am sure we will be back celebrating anniversaries in the future.
