We had a truly magical day

We had a truly magical day, thank you so much for all your help right from the start. Honestly, the team at Streatley are fabulous, everything went exactly as planned - right down to the surprise of the singing waiter! Everyone was amazing and super friendly and helpful.we were both quite sad when it was all over, we would have loved to do it all over again! The ceremony was just magical, the food was perfect and the drinks reception was wonderful. Hennes nailed it! Once again, thank you all

We are so happy and I just wanted to thank you

I just wanted to say, you, Laura & the whole team at the Great House honestly made mine and Mat's Wedding on Saturday - it was incredible for us.  We are so happy and I just wanted to thank you, to all of you.  Please pass this onto the relevant managers as you & Laura made the whole process so relaxed, organised & could not have done any more for us both. So I hope you get some form of praise from this, as you both are incredible and an asset to the Great House!  We are very grateful!

Beautiful venue

The whole day went amazingly! The team at the venue were brilliant, Harry couldn't stop singing Jen's praises and me either - she was so great! The bar staff were on top form all night and the food was delicious, I wish I could've eaten more - the evening snack of mac and cheese was the talk of the night! We got so many compliments from guests on such a beautiful venue and it was genuinely the best day!
