Just Perfect!

We chose The Domus as our wedding venue the moment we stepped into it 3 years ago. Roll on August 2024 and we had the most fantastic wedding. Everything on the day was beyond perfect: the team at Beaulieu did everything they could to make it perfect and it absolutely was! Charlotte and Alan are so attentive and simply wanted us to have the best day. Their staff are exceptional and we had so many lovely well-wishes from staff around the museum.

Our Wedding day

I'm sure you are in the thick of setting out another wedding tomorrow, but we would just like the opportunity to send our grateful thanks to you and all the team at the Domus for a wonderful event last Saturday.

From the word go, the professionalism and helpfulness of you all was evident, and we couldn't fault any of the arrangements for Eleanor and Andy's wedding reception. The room and tables were beautifully set out, just as we'd planned, and the drinks reception and dinner were efficiently delivered by Dan and his excellent team of waiting staff, who unobtrusively moved around the diners and served the delicious meal. Our guests had nothing but compliments too.

It seems like only superlatives will do! We all had such a good time, and are so grateful to you for helping to make this special day so memorable, and send our thanks, good wishes, and Kindest regards,

Liz and Mark Moore

Perfect

Saturday was absolutely perfect, nothing could have gone any better and we are both extremely grateful for all your hard work and everyone that was there on the day to make it fun so smoothly.

From when I (Tom) arrived it was all so relaxed. I was nervous before arriving but when I got there you guys had it totally under control and it was such a breath of fresh air. Dan and Arron did a fantastic job during the day and it was great knowing that we could just relax and enjoy the day.

Personally we don't feel there is anything you guys could have done better. We could not have been any happier with the way everything went on the day.

Kind Regards,

Beth and Tom Neale (first time we've written that!)

My Daughters Wedding

I’m sure Charly and Mike will be contacting you on their return from their minimoon but in the meantime, on behalf of Tracy and myself I would like to thank the team and especially you and John for all your efforts and hard work, delivering a reception to remember, dressed and finished to perfection. The venue looked stunning, food was fantastic and the staff were all friendly and attentive at all times.

Well done, many thanks

A Big thank you to Charlotte and all the staff who made our daughter’s wedding such a magical success. We had a wonderful time and glad everything went so smoothly and the staff could not have been more helpful.

“We had the best day of our lives and will remember it forever. It was just perfect and everyone commented on how beautiful the venue was. Please pass on my thanks to Rob and the staff, he did a great job and we really appreciated it.

It is so lovely that such a beautiful place can accommodate small intimate weddings like ours, we were over the moon at how everything turned out. :)”

Thank you very much indeed for the excellent service we had both before Philippa and Rich’s wedding and on the actual day of the wedding. Throughout the time we found your staff extremely helpful and accommodating. The preparations were very smooth and well- managed and the reception on the day was amazing. We have had nothing but positive comments from our guests about the reception and the Domus as a location

What a great time we had on Saturday - it was all we wished for.

For me I wanted to look around in the evening and see everyone having a great time and they were.

We have had so many compliment’s on the choice of venue and the food so a massive thank you. What I think people didn't notice was how professional the staff were, they were there when you needed them but then discreet when they weren't needed so please pass this on to Rob and Holly with our appreciation.

Thank you again Charlotte for everything.

The perfect day!!!

I would just like to thank the Leith’s team at Beaulieu for making our day so special. From the very moment we booked, we were treated like a VIP. The team were on hand with any question, and were always prompt with responses. The menu taster was fantastic too, as it allowed my partner and I to try the food, and in the Domus too so we could imagine how it would be on the day.

As for the day itself, just wow! Everyone said the food was the best they had ever eaten at a wedding, and the waiters very professional and courteous without it being too much.

The management were with us throughout, guiding us on our day. A special mention to John and Dan (manager’s) who my family are still talking about, some 5 weeks later. They were superb.

As for the setting, the Domus speaks for itself, what we like the most was the fact we were all in one room, which created a fantastic atmosphere.

Thank you to everyone!
