If I could live our wedding day at Chalkney Water Meadows over again every week I would happily do it! It was incredible, magical, emotional, beautiful, joyful, hilarious... just everything! Gill is one of the warmest, funniest and most reassuring people I've ever met, and I can't thank her enough for bringing my festival-style wedding to life. No question was too big, too small, or too random and she just got us, our day was everything we hoped for and so much more. The whole team were amazing too, from Sarah's patience with our glamping guest bookings to the brilliant bar team who kept the drinks flowing all day and night. If you're not sure whether to book a Browning Bros wedding venue, I say DO IT! Trust me, you won't regret it - your day will be unforgettable, and the photos will be stunning! P.s. book the Kingfisher's Nest for the weekend (or longer) for your stay over - it's AMAZING!!

We had our wedding at The Reid Rooms and could not have asked for a more wonderful venue. From our very first visit, the team made us feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. They truly went above and beyond to make our day everything we dreamed of. A very special thank you to Lucy, our wedding coordinator- you were absolutely incredible. You kept everything running smoothly, calmed any nerves and was just on hand the whole time to help. We honestly couldn't have done it without you, thank you, Lucy! 💛 The venue itself is stunning, the atmosphere was magical, and every single one of our guests commented on how beautiful it was. If you're looking for the perfect place to say I do with a team that truly cares- this is it. Thank you to everyone at The Reid Rooms for giving us the most magical day we'll cherish forever.

Me and my husband recently got married here and it was the most beautiful venue and would highly recommend if you are looking for a perfect venue. Umesh, Molly & Robyn were all so lovely and friendly and done everything to make our day as perfect as it could be. Everyone who came said how beautiful it was & thank you to the staff for making it perfect! The food was so so good and our friends and family loved it and said how tasty it was. The garden was so sunny and floral & the drink choices were great. Thank you to all xx

Me and my wife lily had a fantastic time at the room in the rodings where we got married in September 2025. The venue was reasonably priced, the staff were great and very helpful, but the best thing was the freedom we had to bring in our own food and drinks, and decorate the venue to our needs.

We honestly couldn't have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding than Apton Hall. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and every part of the day ran so seamlessly. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at ease, allowing us to relax and enjoy every second without worrying about a thing. A huge thank you to our incredible Event Manager, Rebecca. She was so attentive throughout the entire day, took away every bit of stress, and is genuinely one of the loveliest people we've ever met. Knowing she was there meant we could simply enjoy our wedding day. We also want to thank Emma, who helped us plan every detail to perfection. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her guidance throughout the planning process was invaluable. And thank you to Hayley for helping us secure our date and making the booking process so easy from the very beginning. We actually booked one of Apton Hall's last-minute dates, and we were so impressed with how reasonably priced it was without compromising on the incredible experience we received. If you're looking for a wedding venue, we honestly couldn't recommend Apton Hall highly enough. The venue is beautiful, the team are exceptional, and they made what was already the best day of our lives even more special.

Booked this venue for my mom’s wedding! It met all our expectations and some. The team was professional, very detailed and knowledgeable regarding events. We were assisted and guided and supported by very step of the way. You will not regret booking this venue if you want to add class to an event. It is great value for money whether you need a venue for an event or a place to be wed! Look no further. We had a truly unforgettable day! Guests still messages about how amazing the day was and how beautiful the venue was. Thank you to all who assisted us.

Smeetham hall is amazing. We fell in love with this venue the moment we see it and had to book it for our wedding. The staff are incredible, and will bend over backwards to help make your wedding a dream come true. The barn and grounds are beautiful and very well looked after. We booked a package wedding with smeetham so it included our wedding breakfast catering which by the way was also outstanding 👌🏻. Smeetham hall is a family run venue and this immediately makes it feel more personal and less like a commercialised wedding. Thank you Smeetham hall and all the team for making our wedding day so special x

Perfect venue for our wedding. So helpful, friendly and just perfect! We dry hired and i had heard themat venues arent as helpful when you dry hire but holiday inn was super helpful. All the way from planning to after the wedding! The grounds are beautiful and the weather was glorious for our outdoor ceremony and we had the best wedding reception in the Elizabeth suite and we used the lakeside suite as a childrens room and hired an entertainer. Most of our guests spent the entire weekend there. The kitchen staff at breakfast were so lovely, she even held the kitchen open for an extra 5 minutes for us the morning after the ceremony so that we could all enjoy breakfast. I'm really pleased we chose this venue.
