      A truly wonderful affair
      We must compliment you on the delicious food served during the day and the evening buffet was presented and served in great style. There were many guest compliments about the wonderful food and the manner in which it was presented and served. Our special heartfelt thanks to Sarah Parris for all her help and guidance in making their wedding day a truly wonderful affair. We had many guests compliment on the beautiful house and grounds and how lovely the ceremony was. Our special thanks also to Fernando and all his staff. The young waiters did a fantastic job. Everyone was very polite and courteous and carried out their duties professionally. The whole day was packed with great emotion and left us with wonderful memories to cherish.

      I would not hesitate to recommend Friern Manor
      My sons wedding was held at your venue on Friday 10 May and I would like to thank you for a fabulous and memorable day. The venue was first class and your staff must all be commended each one of them was smart, attentive and polite at all times. It certainly was a day to remember which went smoothly from start to finish. I would not hesitate to recommend Friern Manor to anyone thinking about booking their wedding and would once again like to thank you and your staff for helping to make the day so special for my son and daughter in law.

      Sincere Thanks
      please send my sincere thanks and 'bravo' to all the staff at your work. The front-of-house people were all amazing, friendly and very professional and the food was so lovely. I'm not a choc fan but that mousse was brilliant (and the apple pie & custard and that GORGEOUS fruity thing that I don't know the name of) - for someone who seldom makes it to the desserts, they were so irresistible and had to all be eaten. Same with all the rest of it - I didn't leave anything!!! Yum!!! xxx

      Hi Sarah I just wanted to drop you an email thanking yourself and everyone at Friern Manor for everything they did to make our wedding so special. The organisation of the day was flawless, everything went to plan and we didn't need to worry about a thing. The staff working that day are a credit to the company and throughout the day I was impressed with their level of professionalism. Nothing seemed to much for any of them and they were always polite and courteous, many of my guests day and evening also commented on how wonderful the staff were. The meal cooked by the kitchen staff was amazing, I got many comments from our guests saying it was the best soup and sticky toffee pudding they had ever tasted. Throughout last week I have been inundated with phone calls from guests saying how wonderful the wedding and venue was, I know this is mostly down to you and the staff at Friern Manor so i wanted to pass on some thanks. If anyone ever asks me for a recommendation for a wedding venue or for any functions you will be the first and probably only place I will say. Thanks again for everything you and the company done last week. Regards Mr & Mrs Worland

      An Amazing Wedding
      So sorry I have not contacted you sooner after our wedding but I can not believe how quickly our first year has gone. We have had such a wonderful first year and it all started with an amazing wedding that our family, friends and us have such lovely memories that you and your team help to create. Our guests gave us all positive feedback, including the day was very well organised as they felt it was seamless for them to move around the rooms and grounds etc for each part of the day and they felt very welcome and relaxed. Many gave the response that it was the best wedding that they had been too. The food was great especially the mini fish and chips in the evening, they went down a treat with our guests. We were very impressed with the waiters and waitressing staff so please pass on our thanks to your very professional and polite team that served our lovely meal. We are both extremely happy with our wedding and couldn't have dreamed of a better day as even the sun was shinning! Please see enclosed some photos of us taken at your beautiful location. Wish you, your team and the venue all the very best for the future Love Mr & Mrs Tiff (10/03/2012)
