Couldn't be happier

We booked Beechdown for our wedding reception and couldn’t have been happier. The staff couldn’t do enough to help. The food was delicious and we felt completely looked after. There were lots of little touches included in the price which made it even more special. The day was exactly as we wanted it to be.

Wedding Reception

We had our wedding reception @ Beechdown after our previous venue let us down. Pav could not have been more brilliant! He arranged a whole reception in 10 days. The food was wonderful, staff were just charming, the DJ was fab & nothing was too much trouble for anyone. I would definitely recommend this venue for any event you’re planning. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you 😊
