- HHannah Mansell09/10/2019I can't recommend enough!I can't recommend enough!Well where do we start! I cannot recommend Cottrell park enough for a wedding venue! The marquee was amazing and beautifully decorated, staff were friendly, caterers (SPIROS) we’re fabulous the food was amazing and so was the service. The DJ was absolutely fantastic communication with him was brilliant before the wedding and even on our wedding day so a massive thank you to him I’d definitely hire him again for any future dos. And last but not least the Cottrell park staff were great especially Aimee. Aimee communicated the whole time with me, kept me up to date with everything and couldn’t do anymore for us than she did. Thanks again! From The Mansell’sWell where do we start! I cannot recommend Cottrell park enough for a wedding venue!
