Pentney Abbey

I just HAD to shout out Olivia Howard, Sue and Andrew as well as all the staff who helped make our wedding day flawless and magical. I cannot fault a single thing and they went over and above in so many ways. Nothing was too much, even when we had a mishap with the candle holders! They coordinated with our suppliers with ease and my husband and I are so grateful to you all ❤️ If you are considering a venue filled with character and charm, take my advice and have your wedding here! You won't regret it 🥰

To summarise, I would seriously recommend Unique Norfolk Venue and their outstanding team to anyone who wants their wedding to go beyond that of their wildest imagination and dreams! As the title read, UNV and their team will exceed all expectations. We went with Unique Norfolk Venues at Pentney Abbey after an extensive search for our vision. We wanted our big day to be more than just our wedding day, we wanted it to be a wedding experience! Above all, we wanted our wedding to be stress free (as possible) for my beautiful bride! We loved so many different venues around Norfolk, however, Pentney Abbey was in a league of its own. The stunning rustic setting with a grand, historic gatehouse and beautiful barn; from our first visit we knew that Pentney Abbey would be perfect for our rustic, autumnal wedding. Over the two year duration of planning our big day, we enjoyed a food tasting and drink tasting day with UNV and their catering team which helped us make an informed decision about our menu and drinks. We met with loads of excellent suppliers hand picked by UNV numerous occasions so we could listen and take onboard advice and choose our decor. And correspondence from UNV couldn’t have been any easier. Our planner, Aiyana, was there for us from day one when we were allocated a planner. We had plenty of meetings whether that was in person or over the phone or video call. Aiyana really made us feel at ease and in full control; she made sure everything that needed to be done was done! She listened to our vision and what we wanted, pointing us in the right direction and worked hard. Aiyana ran the UNV team on the big day and made the wedding a truly, breathtaking, once in a lifetime experience! And credit to all the UNV staff who made the day go smoothly. I do need to mention the price tag. Over our extensive search we very quickly came to understand how expensive weddings are. Pentney Abbey is no exception and when you look on paper, yes, it is costly. Although, having mentioned the price tag, was it worth it? Absolutely, it was worth every penny! To say money well spent is an understatement because I couldn’t not have asked for a better day for my beautiful bride! In terms of what you get from a venue, a wedding package, a planner and staff to run the day, UNV at Pentney Abbey really did cover everything and more! Furthermore, looking the price tag and it is very easy to see how UNV and the team do make your wedding as stress free as possible and help you every step of the way, making the whole experience enjoyable and manageable. I won’t go into detail about the decor or our vision as everyone will have their own vision for their wedding. I will leave you with one of my favourite photos; our first kiss as Mr. & Mrs Davies.

5.0 Maddy & UNV Team are Magicians We are still on cloud nine from having the perfect day thanks to the incredible team at Pentney Abbey. It was absolutely magical from setting up the day before to walking around the grounds the morning after. We could not believe all of the time, effort and attention to detail that had been made for us. We planned our UK celebration from our home in Wisconsin, USA. From the get-go the planning team adapted seamlessly from doing a virtual tour all the way throug

We viewed Pentney Abbey as a potential wedding venue on a rainy, miserable Sunday in March 2023 - it’s safe to say we instantly fell in love with the venue and booked a date for June 2024. We were assigned Beck as our planner and honestly, you are so lucky if you get Beck! She answered all of our questions, pointed out some that we hadn’t thought about and always matched our own excitement for our upcoming big day. Beck, thank you so much for looking after us and helping us through the planning

Me and my fiancé Katie got married at Pentney abbey 07/10/2022. We booked our special day after our first visit to the venue as we fell in love with it straight away. Our wedding planner Maddy was unbelievable. She was always on hand with prompt responses from the minute we booked our wedding. And on our day everything went so smooth. Maddy kept us calm and really looked after us. We couldn’t have done it without her. Thankyou and we have memories that will be with us forever

From the moment we visited Pentney Abbey for a viewing we absolutely fell in love with it. No other venue compared for us to have our 'special day'. The level of organisation, communication and care from the whole team was nothing but excellent. The whole planning team are fabulous, our planner Maddy made the whole process stress free and was a joy to work with. On and after the day, all our families and friends could not talk more highly of the venue, the staff and also how INCREDIBLE the food was!! We are over the moon with how our day turned out and so pleased we chose Pentney to hold our special day.

We researched some wedding venues online and it soon became clear that Pentney Abbey was our favourite, so we went to visit. We didn’t visit anywhere else as we fell in love! We loved how special the venue felt without feeling huge. We loved that there was a lot of freedom to personalise our day. Communication from all of the planning team was excellent and we were allocated our wedding planned Megan Culley. She was absolutely amazing. As well as commenting on how stunning the venue was, many guests commented on how smooth the day ran and that’s down to Megan and her team’s professionalism. My husband and I felt constantly looked after and nothing was too much for them to do. My mum in particular said she really noticed how attentive the staff were to us. I’ve even recommended friends to get married at UNV venues as the experience we have had sounds above and beyond what other venues provide. Pentney will always be a very special place!

Absolutely stunning place. Attended my goddaughter's wedding. Everything was spectacular. The staff were on point with everything, so friendly and helpful. Food out of this world. Views amazing! Very beautiful venue.

Throughout the planning process we had contact with lots of the UNV planning team - what a wonderful team of professional people who are dedicated to providing faultless service. A special thank you to Meg for making our day perfect. Our day ran smoothly thanks to her hard work, as well as the team on the day who brought our visions to life. We have had so many about the quality of the food, especially how the team seamlessly cater to dietary requirements.

My daughter had her wedding here. What a beautiful place and amazing scenery. The staff at the venue were fantastic and so helpful. Everything ran so smoothly from when we first arrived until we left the next day. Highly recommend!
