      Warmth and professionalism first class
      Julie, Kathy and staff we cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful wedding. Your warmth and professionalism were first class. We would have no problems in recommending Missenden Abbey to all our friends.

      SPLENDID DAY
      Following Mr and Mrs Kennings SPENDED DAY I would like to thank Ross for his attention to detail and flexibility of timing during the reception. Everything flowed perfectly from the time of arrival to the late finish and indeed to the checking out procedure the following morning. The drinks reception, wedding breakfast and silver service were all excellent and thank you to Kathy for her supervision throughout and to all the team. It was a fabulous day.

      WOULD RECOMMEND TO OTHERS
      Thank you to Jenny and Kathy for all your help and support in the lead up to our wedding and on the day itself. We really appreciated your flexibility dealing with some of our requests that are perhaps not your every day requests such as the lovely vegan food, the informal entrance to the wedding ceremony and for trying to valiantly wrestle Jonathans checklist and watch away from him!! We were absolutely amazed and so impressed by all the organisation behind the scenes and would certainly recommend it to others.

      AMAZED AND IMPRESSED
      Thank you so much to Jenny and Kathy for pulling out all the stops for our special day. The whole team did a fantastic job in keeping everything running and we would wholeheartedly recommend your services. I would also like to extend our thanks to Dave the chef for his sterling work - you did us proud with the vegan food and we have had a huge amount of positive feedback. Thank you again for all your help.

      A Perfect and Unforgettable Day.
      Thanks to everyone for the excellent way you all contributed to making the wedding day so very special. From our arrival at the Abbey to the end of the evening everything went like clockwork. We were blessed with the weather which gave everyone the chance to sit in the beautiful gardens. We have had many letters and phonecalls complimenting us on our choice of venue, and how much they enjoyed the food - the Grooms father said he would go as far as to say the lamb was the best he has ever had! A special thank you to Ann who organised the catering side of the evening and what a lovely team of young men and women you have serving at tables - always ready with a friendly word and smile. Last and by no means least thank you Natasha for all your hard work and attention to detail in providing what will always be a perfect and unforgetable day.
