Brilliant service and venueWe had a perfect wedding day in August and this would have not happened without Jeremy and his team. I had so many praises throughout the day from friends and family on how professional and organised Jeremy was. Richard added a ‘Thank you to Jeremy’ to his speech and he had received a mighty applause. The food was excellent. We had quite a few dietary requirements (vegetarian, gluten & dairy free) and they were very accommodating and made sure that children were served quickly so parents could eat as well. We even changed the buffet menu to suit our tastes and nearly all the food was gone by the end. Doesn’t have its own grounds but the park behind has character and the gardens are always maintained to a high standard. We visited before hand with our photographer and he was very impressed. They said there were more photo opportunities here than many other wedding venues.

Thank you Jeremy,Dear Jeremy, We would like to thank you for the wonderful day we had at the Chateau for our son''s wedding-Daniel and Francesca Rendle- 26th September 2009. It was a perfect day. The weather was fabulous and showed up the Chateau and grounds to best advantage. Even when we were indoors during the meal the sun was streaming in through the window on to the top table. However it was not the weather alone that made the perfect day- it was the organisation and attention to detail. Everything ran like clockwork and all the guests commented on the quality of the food and service. The bride and groom looked at a number of venues but decided on the Chateau after meeting Jeremy because you made them feel confident that you would take care of the day and make sure that everything ran to plan. They were then able to relax and cocentrate on other parts of the wedding. They were not wrong- the day ran like clockwork and you were an excellent master of ceremonies. Once again thank you for making it such a memorable day. yours sincerely, Finola and Lawrie Rendle

Excellent service and managerJeremy Keene has been manager here for 27 yrs and it shows! He is excellent! He looked after us throughout and everything was perfect! He even acted as our toastmaster so there was no need to pay for one here! The food was also lovely. There is also no room hire charge! We did our wedding on a budget but guests thought we paid so much more! The grounds for photos are beautiful, food yummy, but it is the service that makes this place so special. We couldn't have asked for more!
