St Osyth Priory

We were impressed by the team's knowledge of allergies and intolerances. The venue went beyond our expectations to make sure everyone was catered for, even doing separate specific dishes for a couple of our guests & me (bride).

St Osyth Priory, what a stunning venue, the place we chose to get married. The accommodation is absolutely beautiful, with a wonderful space to get ready and there are various locations to hold your ceremony. The food is delicious and there are lots of different options to choose from, catering for dietary requirements. We particularly enjoyed our food tasting experience. The staff are amazing and always quick to respond to any questions that you may have. Everything was perfect on our special day and we are so thankful. Aimee & James

We recently tied the knot at St Osyth Priory and it truly was the best day of our entire lives! Happy tears were flooding the morning after the wedding whilst we reminisced every detail of the most perfect day. Everything was simply perfect and we are so grateful for the amazing team, especially our venue co-ordinator Livi for going above and beyond to make our dream day happen and run smoothly. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and when we first viewed it, every part of it took our breath away. We knew immediately this was the venue for us. Our guests were also blown away with the beauty of the venue, as well as our suppliers, especially our photographer and videographer, who felt absolutely spoilt for choice with the options for perfect beautiful backdrops. Our friends and family are still raving about the day and have said it has been the best wedding they have ever attended. We will never ever forget our wedding day at St Osyth Priory and have the most beautiful memories that we will cherish forever. We just want to do it all over again! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Mr & Mrs Durrance

Our wedding planners, Lizzy & Livvy (L & L) were brilliant from the beginning when we were first shown round St Osyth Priory. They're very approachable, easy to talk to and obviously passionate about their job. The grounds are stunning, and will only get better with time. Unusually we got to speak to the gardeners on our wedding day, it was really nice to see that they were ensuring that the grounds were going to be looking their best for our big day. We always knew that we wanted an outdoor wedding so the Gate House was an obvious choice; a 3.5 minute slow walk from D'Arcy House was just the right amount of time to listen to our chosen song. Plan 'B', had the weather been unkind, was to be in the Main Hall. As the weather was beautiful we had our wedding breakfast in the Main Hall; the views out of the huge windows are stunning. As we were on quite a tight budget and a pair of control freaks, we DIY'd as much of the day as we could; we were able to set up the dining tables the day before; we also set up the disco and photo booth in the bar area. We had hundreds of different sized glass jars filled with flowers which were placed on every flat surface, even in the toilets! L & L ensured that all of our food allergies/requirements were catered for; nibbles and custom made cocktails in the sunken garden were moreish. Our BBQ wedding breakfast was the best meal we've had at a wedding! The presentation was just as we'd requested when we met the chef at our initial meal tasting; the waiting staff were brilliant with a good sense of humour. We had the use of D'Arcy West during the morning of our big day. The building is beautifully decorated with a huge kitchen, where I put the finishing touches to our wedding cake. As we stayed overnight, a continental breakfast had been left in the fridge. L & L went through the whole process in detail, as a result we ended up with a wedding day just as we had hoped for. There were a couple of little hitches but these went unnoticed by our guests. As we live locally to St Osyth Priory we're looking forward to going back to celebrate our anniversaries.

Our wedding at St. Osyth Priory was everything we had ever dreamt and more. The venue itself is beautiful in every way. So many fantastic photo opportunities. The grounds are well kept and are beautiful. The interior has so much character, so not much needed to add in terms of flowers etc. although I still wanted to. The toilets are beautiful and all the rooms smell amazing! Lizzie and Livi were so helpful from the offset and helped us through every step of the planning process. The food was amazing and we have received so many compliments on the food and the venue itself. Would highly recommend.

Our Wedding was truly a dream come true from our first venue tour, the food tasting, planning, and to the Wedding day. St Osyth Priory is a breathtaking venue, and we feel so lucky to have celebrated our special day there. Every room and every detail of the venue is perfection and immaculate. The gardens and the chapel are also beautiful and very unique. Livie and Lizzie were an absolute pleasure to get to know, so warm, welcoming and professional from the beginning. Very responsive to any questions I had, knowledgeable and experienced when it came to giving advice and recommendations for set up, timings and working with vendors. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and they were very supportive and encouraging of my ideas and requests. They coordinated and prepared perfectly with all the vendors. So that the day ran so smoothly, and we were made to feel so special and relaxed. The food was really delicious, and we have had many compliments that it is the best wedding breakfast our friends have tried. We cannot thank the team at the Priory enough as we had a truly incredible day which we and our family and friends will treasure and remember forever.

The term "fairytale wedding" sounds so clichéd, but the team at St. Osyth Priory really did everything in their power to help us have the wedding of our dreams. Obviously the venue is absolutely breathtaking and speaks for itself, but the indefatigable team ensured that everything happened just as I had envisioned, and even suggested things that I hadn't thought of to help make our day perfect: from making sure that my husband and I were kept apart in the morning, to laying on irresistible canapes, prosecco and the house cocktail, 'A Dozen Roses' straight after the ceremony. In the weeks leading up to our wedding Lizzie and Livi were always happy to respond to my increasingly flustered queries. They are both efficient and friendly and remained unflappable in the run up to and on our big day. Getting married at St. Osyth Priory has created some unforgettable memories and has earned a special place in our hearts. We hope to be able to celebrate an anniversary or two there in the future!

Absolutely perfect day, we couldn’t have wished for more, the day was so amazing and over and above our expectations! The venue for us definitely had the wow factor which we were constantly being told by many of our guests. As for the staff and the wedding planners (Lizzie & Livi) nothing was too much trouble and the timing’s of the whole day were faultless. We can’t thank you all enough for making our day so special, and the memories will last forever.

We couldn’t have had a better day at St Osyth Priory for our wedding. Lizzie and Livi, our coordinators, were so attentive and helped us bring our dreams to life. The venue is just beautiful and everything we had imagined, and the chef helped us create a specific menu. If we could do it all again we would!

St Osyths was our perfect venue. We got married in October and this new venue has so many beautiful rooms. It has a large floorplan for the wedding ceremony with the reception held downstairs. The bride and groom were able to get ready in some of the spacious rooms adjoining the main space. The food was incredible and we had a tasting a few weeks before with the chef. There's on site accommodation in newly refurbished rooms and our family had incredible stays on site. The venue is also close to the beach for incredible photos and a fun post-wedding day out. We had the best time - and there was enough room for a pinball table, full band and bar with space for people to have a dance. Shout out the Livvi and Lizzie who made the planning as easy as possible and were just fantastic on the day sorting out any issues and running around making sure everything went smoothly. I can't recommend St Osyth's enough - just so so good.
