When you go looking at wedding venues, you know it's the one when you can't find fault with ANYTHING.
The staff at Whinstone View were warm and inviting and went above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined.
We thought we were a problem couple, referring to ourselves as Dawn's favorite pain in the a***s but we were never made to feel that way. We were constantly throwing new and unique ideas at them but Dawn would respond, "Well we've never done it that way, we will see what we can do," and they always managed to turn our ideas into a reality.
Plans A, B and C were in place for our day then covid struck.
On the run up, we were making constant adjustments to try and keep our wedding date but unfortunately we couldn't go ahead when Boris shut the country down 25 days before our wedding day. The venue however saw us through two postponements, with no extra charges, which we are so thankful for.
Two years later, our wedding day FINALLY arrived and it was literally THE BEST DAY EVER!
We had plans A to D, weather dependant, in place. Baring in mind plan D was thrown at Dawn the night before our wedding!
On our wedding morning, Dawn gleefully informed us that plan D was a go!
We were thrilled. It all turned out way better than we could have imagined.
I know Charlie and Toby played a huge part in the day aswell as Dawn. Not just in the organisation of the day but with their calming presence and attention to detail. Charlie would not leave our donut tower until it was perfectly stacked and Toby literally rung the bottom of my wedding dress out with his hands.
I know there will have been alot more people involved behind the scenes so thank you to all.
Our ceremony set up was stunning. It was the first time they had set it up the way they did and said we had made them rethink how they do weddings in future. All the staff loved the set up and it worked fabulously.
The wedding breakfast was set up beautifully and we didn't have to worry about a thing.
Of course we didn't want the standard table set up so we had created our own which they then executed. They willingly catered with complex dietary requirements and the food itself was delicious.
We were so involved on the day we didn't get chance to really enjoy all the food so we will be returning at some point to sit, relax and enjoy it properly.
The fish and chips portions were huge and we are still receiving complements from guests on how lovely everything was.
Some guests have said they've never been to a wedding like it before and it being the best wedding they've attended. This wouldn't have been the case without the team at Whinstone View.
We wanted a private first dance and they made that happen. Sweeping a speaker into the courtyard and closing it off to guests so that we could enjoy our moment with just our photographer.
The team were so fantastic, very accommodating and helped us create a wedding bespoke to us. The day ran seamlessly and nothing was ever too much. They made our visions a reality.
Our day was a dream come true and then some, we couldn't recommend them more!
Huge thanks to all of the team, you are all AWESOME ❤❤❤
