- DDan and Merrilie04/11/2025A magical experience A magical experienceWe had our wedding here on Sunday and what an incredible day it was. Everything went perfectly and its all thanks to the staff. Nick and Alex made the day run so smoothly and kept us informed of everything happening so we felt so comfortable and cared for. Nick was a star and sang our last dance as a surprise, which we loved 🥰 Lydia was the best wedding organiser we could have hoped for. She was so patient with any last minute changes we needed to make and all our questions were answered really quickly. She made a very stressful experience fun and exciting, she made it so easy and I can't thank her enough for it! All the staff were amazing, my guests complimented how efficient and attentive they were. Everything was streamlined and precise, it was perfect! The venue itself is beautiful. You have the most gorgeous photo locations and no matter what season it is, The trees and surrounding areas look amazing at all times. The rooms are huge and very up to date but still with a classic Bridgeton esque feel. I couldn't recommend Lainston House enough!

We had the most amazing day and so did our guests, and we wish we could do it all over again. Everyone absolutely loved Lainston House and all the team. Thank you so much for everything you've done, there were so many personalised touches which really made the day feel extra special - such as you waving us both off as we went to the church. Also big thanks to Gerry on the front desk who was AMAZING and a real credit to the hotel.Thanks so much for your congratulations!

- BBrandon & Charlotte29/10/2025Every single detail was completely perfectEvery single detail was completely perfectI made sure to thank as many of the staff at Lainston that we could because every single detail was completely perfect, from the food/drinks, service and accommodation the whole weekend long. I’m self aware enough to know I have a fairly high bar, and I don’t think there was a single thing that your team could have done to make it any more perfect - it was truly excellent. Our guests also commented about the venue, food and service more times than I can count.

We once had a couple whose table themes were their favourite books, they had the book on each table and made confetti made from the pages from those books, such great attention to detail.
