- LLunara14/04/2023I got married here this week and I have been thinking a lot about how to put into words how amazing everything wasI got married here this week and I have been thinking a lot about how to put into words how amazing everything wasI got married here this week and I have been thinking a lot about how to put into words how amazing everything was. Julie and Philippa did exceptional work in supporting us with preparing for the big day and Julie was an absolute god send on the day itself; going above and beyond to make me, my husband and my guests feel special and looked after. I honestly could not have asked for anything more. The day ran seamlessly, the bar staff were super and the food was GORGEOUS. I could go on and on and on! But instead, I am going to review the heck out of The Owl in any way that I can, other than screaming it from the rooftops. I am beyond grateful for everything and both myself and my new husband know we made the best choice in venue that we could have possibly made. THANK YOU.I got married here this week and I have been thinking a lot about how to put into words how amazing everything was.

They made our day so special. They couldn't do enough. Special thanks to Anna who was our organiser for the day and did a fantastic job. The setting with the garden is perfect for photos and the room was beautifully decorated and arranged. The three course meal was lovely and there wasn't a single thing out of place all night. We would recommend the owl to anyone planning their big day. They won't go wrong and they really take the pressure off the day so you can enjoy it. Once again a massive thanks to all at the owl you were brilliant.Had our wedding here on the 29th August. It was a fantastic day and all the staff were amazing. They made our day so special.
