- MMr & Mrs Burgess21/09/2025The Most Wonderful Day! The Most Wonderful Day!We had our wedding at Slaters Country Inn on 24.08.25. We had a wedding package at a good cost. From start to finish, we could not of wished for anything better. The staff are just absolutely fabulous; the reception staff, the bar staff, the housekeepers, the waiting on staff-all amazing and they all take good pride within their own roles. Gemma-the wedding co-ordinator, can't fault her, extremely kind, caring and her lovely personality puts you at ease throughout the whole process, she really does care and wants you to have the best day, which we did! I know its her job, she obviously enjoys what she does, but nothing was never too much trouble, anything we asked for, or changed during the planning was no meither. She was just great, she calmed my nerves before I walked down the aisle, made sure my bridesmaid were all ok and even took me the toilet lol but this to me, showed me how much she cares about her role and she looks after her brides. There was a young apprentice with her who was learning the ropes, she asked if she could announce and do things on the day which was absolutely fine by us, she too was lovely. The day went so smoothly, we got married outside under the gazebo and it was just perfect. During our wedding breakfast, the staff showed professionalism throughout. The food was absolutely gorgeous, every single guest commented and said how lovely it tasted. The resident DJ was great, anything you asked for was played, great set! I would absolutely recommend the pizza oven for evening food (delicious) I highly recommend this venue for a wedding or any other occasion actually. If I could do it all over again I would in a heartbeat. Thank you Slaters for a memorable day! Mr & Mrs Burgess ♥️We had our wedding at Slaters Country Inn on 24.08.25.
