- SSarah & Chris Hayward07/03/2020All the staff were absolutely brilliantAll the staff were absolutely brilliantThe day was just perfect for us, the sun was shining and all our friends and family had a wonderful weekend both at Ripley castle and also at The Boar's Head. We arrived on Friday 16th at the castle, to be greeted by Dave who was so welcoming and looked after us as we unpacked our car with wedding stuff. On the day, we were looked after really well. Little things we appreciated like Dave bringing us drinks and canapes out to our (extremely warm!) photo shoot in the gardens, was a lovely touch and we really appreciated it. My parents, Chris's Grandad and one of my cousins were all in wheelchairs and Dave and the staff were really helpful and supportive and ensured they were OK throughout the whole day. This really helped take the weight of our minds and helped us to relax and enjoy our day. It meant a lot to us. The food was absolutely outstanding from the canapes to the wedding breakfast and finally the hog roast. We received lots of positive feedback from our guests and Chris and I would like to pass on our thanks to your chef and his team(we also thanked him on the Sunday). All the staff were absolutely brilliant and our guests really enjoyed the outdoor games and photo booth was definitely a hit!

- GGabrielle &Arthur Lane07/03/2020Neither of us had seen the venue before and everytNeither of us had seen the venue before and everytNeither of us had seen the venue before and everything was so lovely! As I have mentioned before, I do weddings and banquets here in the states so I am definitely always on the look out for great service. Our manager for the evening - he was extremely attentive and rallied our guests for each part of the night extremely well! And then there was one server in particular, excuse me for not knowing her name but she attended to our bridal party table and had above the shoulder hair that was light brownish, and she was so so lovely! I really do wish we knew her name so we could pass on a message to her. She looked after us so well and had such a sweet and calming presence which was so refreshing when there were so many people and emotions to deal with! And of course, I can't thank you enough for helping me plan our wedding from overseas. It probably would have been easier for both of us if I was able to pick up the phone instead of shoot emails back and forth but you all did such a great job and it couldn't have turned out better. The hog roast at the end of the night was the talk of the town as well!
