- AAnna Rowlandson21/05/2024Stunning VenueStunning VenueI absolutely loved photographing this wedding at RHS Wisley Garden in Surrey! It was so special because I used to work at Wisley as a garden photographer (DREAM job!) and it’s also where Matt and I got engaged. The Glasshouse in the grounds of Wisley garden is the most stunning venue for a wedding reception - it’s very light which is ideal for photos, the tables were surrounded by exotic plants and there’s a huge waterfall! It was the perfect day - beautifully sunny weather and amazing food.I absolutely loved photographing this wedding at RHS Wisley Garden in Surrey!

- SSandra21/05/2024Unique WeddingUnique WeddingThe RHS gardens at Wisley provided the most wonderful setting for our daughter's wedding reception in the Glasshouse. Surrounded by beautiful flowers on a summer's afternoon must be the very definition of romantic and the gardens did not disappoint. The Event Management team headed up by the wonderful Chrissie swung into action an hour before the gardens closed to the public and worked with our caterers to transform the exotic Glasshouse into a breathtaking space for entertaining our guests.

- MMeherzad21/05/2024Enchanting wedding in the GlasshouseEnchanting wedding in the GlasshouseWe are writing to express our appreciation of all the staff at RHS Wisley who helped to make our event a great success. In particular, we wanted to highlight the central role played by RHS Wisley’s Events Manager, Chrissie Milton, both on the night and in the run-up to it. We all drew immediate comfort from Chrissie’s unruffled approach, clear grasp of our wedding concept and “can-do” attitude – qualities which were essential in helping to plan an Indian wedding for 250 guests!
