A huge thank you to youA huge thank you to you
Now we have come up for air, we would also like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to you, Briony and the team at Hales Hall and De’Ath Hospitality for all your help over the last 10 months and on the day itself. You have always been so professional, yet friendly and accommodating. Your expertise and guidance enabled us to put together our dream wedding, which ran seamlessly from start for finish thanks to you and your team’s efficiency and attention to detail. I have received so many compliments on the food which was delicious and the venue, which is so beautiful (many people have said it was the best they have been to - we would agree!). Anyway, we really couldn’t have done it all without you (particularly the flower girls’ entrance - thanks for facilitating that!!) and we are over the moon that we have such amazing memories and pictures of a fantastic day / weekend. Also thanks again for clearing up on the Sunday which enabled us to enjoy a leisurely breakfast with our friends and family. We really appreciate it!

We all had a great timeWe all had a great time
Just thought I’d drop you a quick email to thank you and your team, once again, for the superb organisation that resulted in a great day on Saturday, overall a brilliant weekend. The weather played it’s part and the Barn and the gardens made it a perfect venue. We all had a great time - it’s just a pity these things, which take so long in planning, are over so quickly.

We could have stayed longerWe could have stayed longer
Dear Emily, As the dust settles on our wedding last weekend and we've made it back to Geneva, Myles and I just wanted to pass on our heartfelt thanks for all your helpover the past months and of course, particularly for last weekend. Hales was such a magical place to have our reception, helped in no small part by yourself and your team - we have no doubt that a significant amount of behind-the-scenes work and coordination went on to make everything run so spectacularly smoothly and professionally! Everyone on the team was so friendly and thoughtful - it really helped make the day so special. Your emails have always been so clear and helpful, enabling us to understand how we could tailor the weekend exactly as we wished, all the more impressive when we kept changing things and didn't make up our minds particularly quickly! The canapes and the meal were delicious and we had loads of compliments on the range and tastiness of everything on offer! Thanks also for being so flexible with visits to Hales, on the setting up day, and also for tidying everything up afterwards to make it as easy as possible for us to head off on the Sunday. A recurring comment was 'if only we could have stayed longer!' as well as many people saying that it was one of the best weddings they'd ever been to and how stunning the venue was!

The perfect venueThe perfect venue
We had Hales Hall and Great Barn as our wedding reception venue on 1st September 2018, it was absolutely the perfect venue and was everything we had been looking for and more! From the moment we walked through the entrance at our first viewing, we knew it would be the place we would be celebrating our wedding with everyone we loved! Briony and Emily were an absolute joy to work with, and put us at ease from the beginning. Their knowledge and experience, as well as passion made our day all the more special as we could relax and enjoy everything without having to worry about a thing. All of our guests couldn’t stop talking about the venue, the food and how perfect the day was! Thank you so much for letting us have Hales Hall and Great Barn for our happy ever after.
