The perfect wedding for us

We got married at little channels and we couldn't be happier with how our wedding went. The staff were brilliant, ensuring everything from decor to dancing ran smoothly. The food was amazing, we and our guests loved it. Not only did they support us as bride and groom they also looked after our parents and bridesmaids ensuring everyone had what they needed and were in the right place. Nothing was too much trouble and we were very well looked after. Many guests commented it was the best wedding they'd been to in years/ever so we thank the events team at little channels for making our day great and special thanks to Georgina for being an absolute star on our special day.

Book Little Channels and you will not be disappointed.

We absolutely fell in love with Little Channels when we viewed it. The beautiful intimate venue with its rustic beams and fairy lights sold itself. But on top of that the wedding team were so friendly and accomodating that you just know even from the initial viewing that they will excecute the day perfectly... And they did! Dannielle and Lindsey were professional and friendly. I am a perfectionist who fusses over detail. But I didn't have to worry at all on the big day as they had utilised all our crazy decorations and activities perfectly. The guests even commented on the polite staff and how nothing was an inconvenience for them. Oh, and the food! There is so much of it and it is delicious! There was not a single hungry belly left, no-one had any room for buffet and cake. I suggest bringing cake small cake boxes for guests to take away as they will not have room to eat it on the night. Thank you Danielle and Lindsey! Thank you for hosting our perfect day and for not blinking an eye at our crazy ideas and decorations! Just dealing with our requests like the pros you are!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We just want to say a HUGE HUGE Thank you to Jason & all of the team at Little Channels. We had the most perfect day on Sunday 21st May for our wedding reception & it was everything and more than we ever wished for. From the very start with all of the emails & phone calls you have all been incredibly helpful & really put me at ease with everything. I knew we were in the best hands being looked after by you all. From the moment we walked in on Sunday the venue was decorated absolutely perfectly. I had so many decorations for you to set up & you all just did it at no bother at all. Nothing was ever a problem for you & your team. You worked super super hard on Sunday hosting everyone, making sure the day was on time & making sure we were happy with everything. The food was brilliant!! We've had so many comments from our guests saying it was the first wedding they've ever been too where they really enjoyed their food. Our day was absolutely perfect & from the moment we looked round the venue I knew it was the place I wanted my reception to be in and we are so happy & chuffed with the whole day. Thank you to all of your staff individually for making our day truly perfect & for working so hard. I wouldn't have changed anything. The evening buffet was delicious too. We've had so many people say it was the best wedding they've ever been too and that is because of how amazing the venue was. Once again Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding absolutely beautiful & perfect!
