You have been amazing!

We wanted to message to say a HUGE thank you. From the moment we met you in lockdown and saw the venue up to the big day we couldn’t have asked for more from you. Thank you for being cool, calm and collected and nothing was ever any trouble! You have been amazing!

You made our dreams come true

Thank you seems like too small a word for what you did for us. You made our dreams come true on Saturday and we had the wedding we had always pictured, despite what’s going on with the world… so thank you!

we couldn't have chosen a better venue

Mat and I would like to say a huge thank you for all of your help on the run up to our big day as well as on the day itself. We had the most wonderful day and we couldn't have chosen a better venue. It looked absolutely magical all lit up and decorated and we had many, many comments about what a fabulous venue it was and how fantastic it looked. We both just want to do the whole day all over again. We couldn't have organised it without your help and advice either, so thank you for all of

Best day of our lives!

The wedding was absolutely amazing.... we couldn't have dreamt of a better day. We got so many comments from our guests about how beautiful the venue looked. We can't thank Eider, Fay and Jess enough for all the help with the planning and for making the day run seamlessly. It was definitely worth the wait!

We couldn't have done it without you

We just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for all the hard work and effort you put into assisting us with our wedding and organising, and for all your help on the big day itself! It still seems surreal to think that we managed to pull off everything we had planned and we honestly couldn’t have done it without you, so thank you!

Loved every minute of their wedding day.

Many thanks to all the Paintworks team that made my son and daughter-in-law's wedding so special last Thursday. This was their third attempt over the past 16 months and at last it happened. Your staff were attentive and friendly, the venue perfect and Tom and Laura loved every minute of their wedding day.

It was definitely worth waiting 3 years for it

The Wedding was absolutely amazing.... we had the best day. The Paintworks looked as good as the weather. My mum and Ash from Wild Tree did an great job picking out and arranging the trees. The ones by the ceremony in particular were fantastic. We got so many comments from our guests about how great the venue was. We can't thank you, Fay and Jess enough for everything you have done for us, we could not be happier with how it went, it was definitely worth waiting 3 years for.
