When my husband and I got engaged I knew there was only one place where I wanted the reception.. The Fishpond. We were introduced to Liley our wedding planner who really was the brains behind the operation of the wedding day. Liley is so lovely and also helped us make sure our day would flow nicely and make sure we had the best day ever! Which we did! Like everything in life some things don’t go to plan, like the storm that happened during our wedding day so we weren’t able to do some of the things we wanted to, eg. Confetti toss. However this did not ruin our day and we were so grateful we booked the ballroom and the raft so our guests had enough room while we waited for the rain to pass. We chose the hog roast for our wedding breakfast which was honestly one of our best decisions, it was delicious! Our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food and how it suited us as a couple. In the evening we had the traditional buffet which we also enjoyed! I’d like to thank all the staff at the fishpond that helped make our day run smoothly and made our day extra special! The fishpond is a gorgeous pub with an equally impressive ballroom. I’m so happy we had our reception here and would recommend to any couple looking for a wedding reception!

My husband and I had our day here after having a nightmare with a previous venue and honestly I could not be more happy it happened. From the moment I met Jo and the team I felt so at ease and we fell in love with the venue. It’s so beautifully decorated! Jo worked with us to create our perfect day in our budget. She was in regular contact, so organised and made the whole process stress free. She took charge of communicating with our suppliers so we didn’t have to stress about timelines. Over time we met Emma, Matt and the rest of the team who made us feel so welcome everytime we went for meetings. Our day went so smoothly. Jo kept me relaxed as I was getting ready and the set up was amazing. The timing was perfect every member of staff worked like clock work and were so prepared for every aspect of the day. The food!!! The food is incredible and every single one of our guests said how amazing it was and there was empty plates for all our guests. I could go on and on about how amazing this place is. From the decor, to the food, to the rooms and to the staff. From the bottom of our hearts thank you so much for making our day so special.
