Absolutely perfect!

We managed to find this venue through Google and couldn't believe it was 10 minutes from home. We had other places to view and this was our first. The experience from the first viewing stood out from the rest. Amy listened to what we wanted, took an interest in our children, was friendly yet professional and nothing was too much trouble. On the big day the entire team couldn't do enough to make sure our day was perfect. We had planned for the ceremony outside but just as the ceremony was due to start the weather had other ideas. Again, nothing was too much trouble and the team were on it. Everyone said they couldn't believe how calm I remained (the bride). And honestly I think the team had a lot to do with it! We had the best day ever.
A couple of weeks after we got married our best friends got engaged and they didn't even look anywhere else. They were so impressed with the venue and our day they booked henstead pavilion for theirs. That says a lot!
I can't recommend this place enough, you will not be disappointed. It has stunning gardens, the staff make it about you and the setting is just perfect for a beautiful day ❤️

Just perfect

Absolutely beautiful setting and within minutes of meeting Amy and realising what a supportive, helpful and genuinely interested and passionate team we would be working with we were sold on this as our venue. Nothing that we asked for was too much trouble and had excellent communication with Amy all the way through. The day was completely what we wanted it to be and unique to us and had so many comments from friends and family on what a beautiful venue it was. Particularly loved that the girls on the bar in the evening had a dance with us all and it felt like it was one big family on our special day. Thank you so so very much, can never recommend you enough x

Beyond Happy

Within a very short time of viewing Henstead Pavilion we knew that we wanted to not only hold our weddiing reception there but our whole wedding. We rethought all our plans on the spot because the setting is beautiful.
We knew we were in safe hands, every step of the way we were listened to and helped when floundering over finer details. We could contact either Hatty or Amy at any point to clarify or adjust any aspect of the day and nothing seemed too much trouble. Communication was excellent.
In all we were so very pleased with everything.
