Perfect venue

We had the most amazing wedding at Great fosters. All the staff were so helpful and friendly and helped make the day so special. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue is. We couldn’t thank Molly enough for helping us and dealing with all of our questions.

Beautiful venue with a hotel and barn

Perfect mix for us as we wanted the barn feel and to have enough space to have lots of guests stay overnight. Great Fosters has this and more: it’s so beautiful, the staff make you feel well looked after and nothing is too much hassle.

Book Great Fosters - You will not regret

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding reception than Great Fosters.

From our very first visit through to the wedding day itself, the entire team was exceptional. The staff were warm, professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our day as special as possible. Nothing was too much trouble, and their attention to detail allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning. Great Fosters has so much character, charm, and elegance, providing the most beautiful backdrop for our celebration. So many of our guests commented on how breathtaking the surroundings were, both inside and out.

The food was outstanding and exceeded all expectations. Every course was beautifully presented and delicious, and we received countless compliments from our guests about the quality of the meal and service throughout the day.

Most importantly, Great Fosters helped create memories that will stay with us forever. Our wedding day was everything we had hoped for and more, and so much of that is thanks to the incredible team and beautiful setting. Our guests are still talking about it, and we know it will live long in the memories of everyone who attended.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Great Fosters to any couple looking for a truly special wedding venue. Thank you for helping make one of the most important days of our lives absolutely unforgettable.

Amazing venue - highly recommend

Great Fosters is a stunning venue and the staff were so helpful. We were shown around all the wedding venue locations, which are set off to the side of the main hotel so feel exclusive without paying for the exclusivity. Emma was our event manager and was available via phone call or email whenever we had any questions. The bridal suite comes as part of the wedding package and their rooms are stunning. All of our guests commented on how amazing the venue was and the staff on the day were so prepared and helpful. Highly recommend.

Perfect Day!

Great Fosters exceeded our expectations for our special day. From the moment we had our first meeting we were blown away by the service. The communication in the lead up was exceptional and then everything on the day ran smoothly and to perfection. We are so thankful for choosing Great Fosters and are so happy with our day.

Unbelievably beautiful venue - terrible coordinations

We loved the venue it really is stunning but the wedding coordination is non existent. We had no contact for 2 years and then a meeting 6 weeks before the wedding which we felt was just a little too late into the process.

There were no personal touches, not even a congratulations note in our honeymoon suite. It just felt like the organisation behind the scenes was poor from the get go.

The team on the day were great and very attentative but our experience was a bit tainted

The day was unreal!

The day was “unreal”, at least that’s the best fitting word I’ve been able to find when describing it to those that weren’t able to be part of it. Michelle, myself and everyone who attended had nothing but great things to say about the day and what a setting GF was, we’re so happy that we chose to have it with you. I’m sure we’ll be back for Tea.

Great time on the day!

Thank you so much for your kindest help.

We all had a really great time on the day and many guests are in love with the hospitality of the team and still can’t get over how beautiful Great Fosters is.

Massive thank you!

We just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who had a part in making our day so special.
From the very start of the wedding booking with yourself, you made us feel that we were in the very best hands. Every little detail was thought through and made the whole process enjoyable!
We have to also give Jose and his team a massive thank you. I don't know what I would have done without him on the day. He is a credit to the operations team. Plus he made our cheese table absolutely perfect!

Amazing day but disappointing service before

We had our wedding and reception at Great Fosters and the day was absolutely perfect but the communication in the lead up was disappointing. We had to change co-coordinators as our was not able to meet us and had not contacted us to arrange sooner. We felt the service was very un-personal and at times unhelpful.
However, on the day Jose was the manager on duty and was absolutely fantastic.

Huge thank you

David and I would like to say a HUGE thank you to yourself and all the team who helped make our day extra special and smooth. We had such a wonderful time. Thank you for our lovely card and drink in our room. Was so nice to walk into the room and see that.
Sorry I never got a chance to say goodbye the next day. Hope you liked your plant.
Can you tell me the name of that lovely man who was with you in the morning when I came downstairs. He helped me get into my car? He was helping a lot during the evening as well. I would like to send a thank you card :)
