- AAndrew & Perri28/11/2025The most beautiful wedding day!The most beautiful wedding day!We had our special day a couple of weeks ago and it was nothing short of amazing! Chloë and the team at Priston Mill were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. You can tell that they know what they are doing! The day just flowed so beautifully and Chloë brought a fun element with her great mc skills too. The food was out of this world and the quality of the wine & sparkling wine was excellent too. We didn’t have to worry about anything on the day as it was all taken care of after months of planning and great communication via email, phone calls and in person. We wish we could just do it all over again and we’d choose Priston Mill every time . Thank you again for such a magical wedding day, love from The Cottle’s.

- MMatt & Linzi05/10/2025100% recommend 100% recommendWe spent a lot of time looking for our wedding venue as it’s such a big part of the day and I can say that Priston Mill did not disappoint. Our wedding was in the Watermill which we choose as we loved it’s character and unique charm as well as wanting to get married in the beautiful gardens. Our wedding coordinator Clara was brilliant in the lead up to the wedding day, always quick to respond to our questions and clear about timelines and what was needed from us. On the day itself, Johanna took over seamlessly, ensuring everything ran like clockwork so we could simply enjoy the moment without a single worry. All the staff on the day were amazing and attentive and they all did an amazing job. The food was also outstanding and we had so many compliments from our guests. All in all we couldn’t have asked for better and we would absolutely recommend Priston Mill as your wedding venue.We spent a lot of time looking for our wedding venue as it’s such a big part of the day and I can say that Priston Mill did not disappoint.
