Reviews for Bilsington Priory
Absolutely amazing wedding venue!
With just three months to organize our wedding the team helped guide us through the process, make suggestions and on the day everything ran so smoothly. We didn't have to worry about any of the logistics and knew everything was in safe hands.
The food that we chose was delicious for both the wedding breakfast and evening and there were great options to choose from.
Thank you so much for giving us such a magical day to remember!!!!
Always available, happy to help and a beautiful space!
We had a large party, so having the separate space from the dance floor worked well for us and the staff diligently changed the space from day to night buffet without us even noticing.
Staff were on hand at every turn, all day and in the months leading up. No question went unanswered and the use of the online system made everything so much easier.
Compared to other venue quotes, we found pricing transparent and fair and we negotiated some changes to suit our style better. All of our vendors were well looked after and informed and all of our guests loved the space.
