Every little thing was thought of and felt like all the staff had a genuine interest in our day.

Huge thanks from Mr & Mrs Senior xoxThe team were so helpful Venue Service By Amy, on 16 Mar 2018Date of Wedding - 01 Sep 2017 We got married here on 1st September and cannot speak highly enough of the venue and staff. From day 1 the team were so helpful, very prompt in answering queries and seemed as though nothing was too much trouble. The venue is a real gem, it has so much character and is beautifully maintained. We came across it by chance but couldn't have found a more perfect place - our whole wedding party stayed for 2 nights in the cottages and had a fantastic time! Thanks Combermere!We had the most amazing day Venue Service By Emily, on 16 Mar 2018Date of Wedding - 26 Aug 2017 We got married at Combermere on the 26/08/17 and we honestly couldn't recommend the venue and all the lovely staff enough. From all the help with preparations, to the support throughout the day it was fantastic and we had the most amazing day. Special mentions to Bev, Rachel, Ashleigh and of course Stefan who went out of their way to make sure everything was stress free and perfect! Emily XThank you a million times over! Venue Service By Amy Blythe, on 16 Mar 2018Date of Wedding - 20 Aug 2017 I couldn't recommend this venue enough. It was beautiful and a dream for us to get married somewhere so lovely. Every member of staff is helpful and attentive and make your day feel extra special. Thank you a million times over! We'll 100% be back to stay in the cottages in the future. Love Mr and Mrs Blythe xxAmazing! Venue Service By Laura, on 16 Mar 2018Date of Wedding - 06 Aug 2017 We got married on Sunday 6th August and booked all the facilities including the glasshouse, pavilion, stone lodge, the north wing and the cottages for two nights. From start to finish everything was coordinated and organised to perfection. We had a great welcome with breakfast hampers and wine for ourselves and all the guests, the staff were on hand the entire day to guide us from our arrival to the day and then upon leaving. The guests absolutely loved having partying to the early hours of the morning at the cottages both before and after the wedding whilst taking lovely bike rides through the grounds before the ceremony began. The venue speaks for itself absolutely gorgeous! Stunning! We can honestly say we had the best day of our lives and in no small part thanks to everyone at Combermere. They were worth every penny and then some.Thank You Venue Service By Mr & Mrs Huntbach, on 20 Jan 2017Date of Wedding - 19 Nov 2016 We had the most amazing and special wedding day at Combermere. We wouldn't have changed a think. Thank you for giving us a lifetime of wonderful memories of our wedding day. Diane was fantastic through the whole process. She was calm and reassuring and nothing was too much trouble. She gave many useful suggestions in the run up and on the day was brilliant, professional and unobtrusive. Thank you.Dream Wedding Venue Venue Service By Holly & Ali, on 20 Jan 2017Date of Wedding - 30 Sep 2016 This place was literally my dream wedding venue, it is a magical place and a complete fairytale. I’m sad that I don’t have an excuse to keep popping in although I’m sure we’ll be back to stay in the beautiful cottages and I might have to pretend I’m getting married again and sneak to the wedding open days. I want to say a HUGE thank you to all the staff here for their help in making our day perfect. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. A special thank you to Rachel who was there with me every step of the way with my million questions. Prev Page 1 of 2 Next
