The venue was beautiful!
Dear Leo, We would like to thank you for the organisation of the Ruby Wedding party. The venue was outstanding, beautiful food and a great setting. Your hard work and availabilty throughout the preperatio and event was unvaluable. Thank you for your support with the "technical side" of things and for helping us make the event run smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble for you, the feedback from guests has been excellent and we would happily recommend you to friends. With love, Hawys & Richard xx

Aweekend that was wonderful and a wedding day that was blessed
All the worry and anxiety before our daughters big day proved unfounded. The longed for beautiful summer day materialised as I knew it would and the reception was held in the lovely garden. Sam organised it all so well and the caterers were second to none. It really is such a lovely venue and everything lived up to all our expectations. I just wish we could have a rerun of the day as it all went so quickly. A big Thankyou to all at Allington Manor.

Wonderful wedding venue.
We got married at Allington in July 08. It was the perfect venue for us as not too big though we squeezed 60 inand really beautiful old house. Sam who works there is the most wonderful wedding coordinator and made us feel so relaxed. She takes all the stress out of the weekend and is accomodating to all requests. You can use the manor for the whole weekend which is fab for girly night on the friday etc. Bedrooms are beautiful as is garden. Its all so personal and a relly great place to get maried.

Perfect venue, perfect day!
We first visited Allington in November 2007 knowing we wanted our wedding in January 2008. We immediately had confidence in Sam to make it happen in that short time scale, and she did! Allington was the perfect venue for our intimate candlelit wedding. It was fabulous having the venue to ourselves from Friday to Sunday, we were made to feel very welcome and Sam couldn't have been a better host. Nothing was too much trouble, Sam's willingness to accommodate our ideas combined with her experience resulted in our day being every bit as special as we had hoped and our guests loved it too! We can't recommend Allington Manor highly enough.

Fantasic!!!!!!!
From our first meeting with Sam and Garth in the February 2007 to the day itself 1st September 2007 they could'nt of done enough for us. We always knew we would marry in Allington church as it was the village I had spent much of my childhood and where my father still resided but at the time had no idea that the Manor House had started to do fuctions. From the very start our dreams had been realised and nothing was too much trouble for Sam or Garth. The house and its grounds were fabulous! Sam gave so much advice and made some great suggestions even to the point of trawling the internet and making trips to Nottingham for me for tea lights etc. The caterers which were found for us by Sam were fantastic. Everyone has told us what a wonderful day it was for them and for John and I it really was the best day of our lives. Allington Manor holds wonderful memories for us and we would not hesitate in highly recommending it to anyone.

The whole weekend was fantastic
Allington Manor. What a beautiful building in a wonderful setting. The rooms are so special; you walk around in amazement looking at the furnishings and the history within. The atmosphere in the Manor is so warm and friendly that everyone felt at ease and comfortable. My daughter married there on 07.07.07 and though the date was only fixed in April this year, the whole weekend was fantastic. Garth, the owner, and Sam couldn't do enough to help make the wedding and the weekend a complete success. Sam assisted Claire and Robert with their arrangements prior to and on the day with true professionalism. Nothing was too much trouble. The ceremony held in the Main Hall was so special and personal, it all contributed to making the perfect wedding. Thank you, it was wonderful. I would recommend Allington Manor to any one wanting a special place for a special occasion. Thank You for everything.

The ultimate wedding venue for Quality, Style, Comfort and Service.
Allington Manor is full of history, character, warmth and comfort; perfect for our intimate spring wedding. Garth, Sam & Katie couldn’t do enough to accommodate all our requirements as well as offering us help and advice to achieve the most memorable day. They provided a professional, attentive and friendly service throughout, which we cannot thank them enough for. My mum & I stayed over the night before which was a lovely way to start a truly fantastic weekend. My mum was delighted with the garden room she stayed in and I thoroughly enjoyed sleeping and getting ready in the Lord’s room – although my bridesmaid and I had great fun flitting from room to room watching everyone arrive ! All our guests were amazed we’d found such a great place on our doorstep and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day including the superlative food provided by White’s catering. Our photographers were in their element so we now have the difficult job of deciding which of the amazing photos to include in our album. It was fantastic to have this Jacobean Manor exclusively to ourselves which meant that the evening worked out just as we’d wanted - a relaxed but fun occasion. Guests stayed over in the Manor and in the village (all arranged by Sam) then we all met for a wonderful cooked breakfast at the Manor in the morning. Call us biased but it’s the best wedding venue we’ve ever been too; we’ve been recommending it to everyone ever since for weddings or B&B. We had a perfect day which we will remember forever and are thoroughly looking forward to returning in the future to see the Manor and the people again. Thank you so much Sophie & Mick

This place was an absolute dream
We stayed at Allington Manor on our wedding night...it was the perfect ending to a perfect day. The whole place was exceptional as was the service. I have never felt so special in my life. The Lords room was amazing and there were plenty of little extras and personal touches that finished the stay off. The whole house is breathtaking and I dare anyone not to be marvelled by the historical artefacts that add to the Houses'' attraction. The home cooked farmhouse breakfast was excellent, we did not sample the evening meal but if the breakfast is anything to go by I have no doubt that this would be excellent as well. I would recommend anyone wishing an intimate, luxurious stay in splendid settings to make this your first stop we will not be waiting for our anniversary to revisit for a stay.

I felt like royalty, all the staff were wonderful. We wholeheartedly recommend Allington Manor
We were fortunate enough to have our wedding at Allington Manor on Valentines Day this year and I wanted to tell you a little about our day and how special the owner Mr Garth Vincent and his staff made it for us. The Manor itself is stunning, as soon as you walk in the wonderful atmosphere oozes out at you. History and nostalgia is in every room giving it an altogether special magic, a happy and homely feel mixed with elegance and perfection. The bedrooms are stunning to say the very least, every last detail is there just for you. As a bride to be I chose the Lady’s Room and felt like royalty amongst the lovely regal furniture, beautiful bedding and a special view where you can see the guests arriving as you prepare. All the staff were wonderful, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the day. You could see it in their faces that they truly enjoyed making the whole event as special and memorable as possible for everyone concerned. Our guests had travelled from all over the UK and commented on how beautiful the manor and its location truly is. Some were saying they’d even like to come back and stay they found it so peaceful and enchanting. Being so close to the A1 you’d be forgiven to think there would be noise but there isn’t. Just birdsong and beautiful scenery, with no hint of a motorway in sight. We would wholeheartedly recommend Allington Manor not just for weddings but for any special event as you will get so much more than you expect. You will be enchanted as soon as you walk through its door.
