Absolutely stunning

This place is absolutely gorgeous and so happy we choose to have our wedding here. From start to finish the staff have been amazing, communication has been fantastic and especially Georgia who was with us throughout the day making sure everything was running smoothly, was incredible. The venue doesn’t need much extra decorations because it’s so stunning on its own. The ceremony room is so unique, with its old style cinema seats. We fell in love this is room straight away. We definitely definitely definitely recommend this venue

A PERFECT wedding venue! Stunning, unique and dreamy!

To Hannah, James, John, Becky and the rest of the Larkspur Lodge team we can’t begin to thank you enough for making our wedding day the best day of our lives! From the moment we pulled up to the venue on the open day it was already everything we had imagined and more! Once we got inside and seen how beautiful and unique the ceremony room was we realised we had found our venue. The reception room was the perfect size for our wedding guests and even better that the bar area isn’t completely separated but another area to mingle and still be close enough to enjoy the day. Myself and my bridal party absolutely loved getting ready in the upstairs area. It was spacious, we had unlimited hot/cold drinks and lots of space for hair and make up. Nothing was too much trouble for the team and all of the staff were friendly and welcoming. Every email query was always answered and sorted quickly. Special thanks to John who was an absolute star on the day making sure every detail was right and even saving some canapés for us to enjoy whilst we were busy having photos. The food was absolutely delicious! We have had SO many compliments from our guests saying how stunning the venue was and how amazing the day was and this is all thanks to you guys for making our dream a reality! We will absolutely be recommending this venue to everybody as we were SO thrilled with everything from start to finish!

Nothing short of perfection!

We can’t quite put into words just how incredible the team at Larkspur are. From start to finish, each and every member of staff we encountered or had contact with provided us with exceptional, professional and friendly service. We owe our wedding to Sophie, who worked tirelessly to ensure that every aspect of our day was just as we dreamed it would be. With her knowledge of the industry, her approachability and flexibility, and her driving force nature, Sophie made our dream a reality alongside her amazing team. Erin who ensured the catering side of our day ran seamlessly, with a smile on her face. Hannah who updated files, was present at meetings, was super responsive to emails and who on the day provided support, encouragement and a reassuring arm to settle the nerves. James who worked alongside Erin to ensure that the food we ate was nothing short of perfection and that our evening could go ahead as planned and finally the lovely Caitlin who facilitated and coordinated the day, alongside her colleagues, ensuring that all the finer details were in place. Larkspur Lodge is a haven where dreams really do become a reality thanks to the dedicated, committed and incredible staff team. The building itself is steeped in history, yet with a modern, rustic feel. The outdoor space provides the perfect sanctuary for soaking up the sunshine in the summer and spring months or watching nature take its course during the autumn and winter months, with a drink in hand as the day unfolds. The natural grounds around the lodge allow for the most idyllic photographs and the ceremony room is like nothing you’ve ever seen before! We were blessed to stumble upon this incredible venue and urge anyone who hasn’t already, to visit the lodge and allow the most amazing team of angels to bring your dreams to reality too! Thank you Larkspur Lodge and all of your wonderful staff for giving us the best day of our lives!

Best Day Ever!

We had the most perfect day celebrating our long awaited wedding - it was worth the wait! Sophie was so supportive throughout all the covid date changes. And in the run up to the big day the whole team were so helpful in finalising the details and adding finishing touches. The day couldn’t have run more smoothly thanks to whole of the larkspur team keeping everything organised. The venue itself is so unique and full of character. There’s so many beautiful spaces - from the quirky ceremony room, the tucked away snug rooms, the bright reception room and the lovely lawn. Our wedding day was even better than expected, it was perfect. I can’t recommend Larkspur Lodge highly enough.

Perfect venue for such a special occasion.on.

As proud grandparents we spent a wonderful time at Larkspur Lodge 6th November celebrating our granddaughter Jodie's Wedding to Jack. From the moment we were greeted by Larkspur's attentive staff to when we left to drive 60 miles home, we could not have enjoyed a more perfect venue for such a special occasion.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Larkspur Lodge ?

It's always tough to single out a particular wedding. However we would have to shout out, Ross and Nicholas! Just after covid, where we all hadn’t been able to show off our love – Ross and Nicholas got married. This was a small intimate wedding and there were many beautiful moments during the day. One of them being how Nicholas had published a book called ‘The 2 Bears’ all about their lovestory and the couple gave this out as a wedding favour to their guests. Nicholas is a professional dancer, and they shared a special moment by having their first dance under a sky full of fairy lights in our ceremony room.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Create a wedding email! Not just to help with planning in general but you can ask your wedding guests to send over their RSVPs to this too! When you have a ‘Wedmin’ day, you can open up your inbox and know all of your email are in one place! Often personal inboxes can get full of junk and it's easy for important wedding emails to get lost – Especially those all-important final details and payments.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

To make a table plan a little less formal, it is always lovely when you have a photograph of you and each guest, then as they turn it over it reveals where they are seated. Once the guests get to the table, there is a personal message written to each individual guest of memories they have shared together.
