- AAmez and Labib15/02/2023Amazing wedding venueAmazing wedding venueI can't begin to explain how amazing Amy and the Cookridge Hall staff were. Amy communicated with us every step of the way and made a nervous person like myself feel calm and reassured. We got to decide all of our own decorations and Amy arranged pretty much all of the actual organisation and scheduling. All we had to do on the day was show up and greet our guests. We had around 44 guests in the end and it was the perfect number for the beautiful Conservatory. I can't begin to explain how amazing Amy and the Cookridge Hall staff were.

The venue was decorated beautifully with our colour scheme and with the added blessing of good weather, we were able to capitalise on the patio and grounds.
