We could not recommend Morley Old Hall more for a beautiful wedding day. Portia and Hannah were welcoming, responsive and open to all ideas we had for our big day. The venue provides flexibility with your own choice of catering, decor etc and it really felt like nothing was too much. Hannah was on hand on the day incase we had any issues and we received so many compliments on the beautiful location. The price was also incredibly generous when considering the accommodation and space it provided for planning our festivities!

As the father of the groom, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for all your help, guidance, and support in arranging, what I can only describe as, the perfect wedding. I have never experienced such an event when all the guests expressed such praise, compliments, and surprise at the quality of the arrangements, facilities and service provided. I am astonished at how well the wedding was organised, and how smoothly it ran. Every member of your staff throughout the day delivered an excellent service, particularly Leanne. A truly amazing wedding manager. Leanne was exceptional in every way. Nothing seemed too much for her to deal with and her manner remained so calm, welcoming and positive throughout the day. We knew we were in very safe hands, and the outcome proved it. A perfect example of a guardian angel! Thank you again to Country House Weddings and all the staff at Leez Priory for making the day so special, and for giving everyone who attended such wonderful memories.

We chose Ware Priory for our Wedding on the 26th October 2024. They were recommended by a friend, who had looked at the venue for their own wedding. We were supplied with an e-brochure showing multiple venue options, pricing and a selection of recommended catering partners. Kerry Mavris was our point of contact from start to finish and I can't thank her enough for her hard work and patience. As we live outside of the UK, things were a little tricky to organise, but Kerry and her team were excellent. We were both so pleased with how they carried out their work. As soon as we agreed to hold our wedding at Ware Priory, Kerry was quick to arrange a follow up meeting (which was carried out via Zoom), where she offered advice on which room to would be best for our wedding size, drinks packages, seating for the ceremony, the sit down meal and many other minor details. We followed this up by filling out the booking form to reserve the date. Kerry kept us informed of Wedding Fayre dates, one of which I went to with my Mum and my Sister. Kerry was in attendance and showed us the available rooms and the chapel. This allowed us to get a feel for each room and helped us make our decision. The Wedding Fayre was really helpful as I managed to book several of the service providers including the photographer, wedding celebrant and interior decorator. Closer to the wedding day, my fiancée and I met with Kerry and some of the suppliers in order firm up a schedule of the days events. This really helped to bring things together and put our minds at ease. It was clear that Ware Priory have wealth of experience when it comes to these type of events and this was invaluable throughout the whole process. They were very well organised and very accomodating when it came to last minute changes. The whole day was a roaring success and only made possible by the good work carried out by all the suppliers, of which Kerry and her team were an essential part. 5 stars for Ware Priory

When we first found St Osyth’s Priory, we fell in love with the breathtaking beauty of the venue. Everything seemed to be perfect, the little chapel, the wonderful grounds, the beautiful gardens, the magnificent wedding breakfast room; absolutely everything. We were sold not just by the grandeur, but by the amazing professionalism of Livi. She was fantastic, communicating with us throughout the whole process, answering every email and every question, ensuring we had enough meetings to know what exactly was happening on the day, being on site with Mel and ensuring everything was going well. They made our wedding planning and the day itself so stress free, it was fantastic. The food was delicious, and every guest enjoyed it. We asked for a few extras, such as bowls with berries and cream for the drinks reception, which the venue very kindly offered to create for us, as well as creating a bespoke children’s menu (curtesy of my very picky younger sister!). Our wedding was non alcoholic for religious reasons, and the venue did everything to ensure that was being adhered to on the day and were incredibly welcoming even with this different type of wedding. In short, we absolutely adored it and the coordinators made everything incredibly stress free and easy, we had an amazing time and are so happy we got to celebrate our special day here!

This place is absolutely stunning! All the NMP staff were amazing however a massive thank you to Bimal, Jaina, Gavin, Bilal and the security who went above and beyond to ensure the wedding smoothly. The 2 floor Manor House is huge and there were so many rooms to use for our guests.There is only 1 main entrance. The Pavilion (Marquee) was sublime and very sturdy. There were no power issues/outages which was one of my concerns which I did ask the team and they said they have never had issues like that so I was relieved. We even got to use the buggy a few times during the day which was handy to travel back and forth between the Manor House and marquee. The buggy only can only make a few trips back and forth so bear that in mind. Highly recommend this venue!!

From the moment we booked our wedding with Easton Grange they couldn't do enough for us. They were so flexible with everything from readjusting our quotation, to accommodating our guests staying and allowing us to arrive with enough time to get everyone ready. On the day of our wedding we felt that the team at Easton really could not do enough for us. They helped execute the perfect day and make it the most calmest, stress free experience. The food was absolutely sensational and including the amazing hog roast we had in the evening and the breakfast the next day. We would highly recommend Easton to any couple looking to get married here, you will not regret it! They have given us memories that will last a life time.

I cannot recommend The Conservatory at Luton Hoo Walled Gardens enough. We booked the venue early 2019 for June 2021 for our wedding and reception, fortunately we had only one date change and the team were extremely accommodating. Danielle and the team really went above and beyond to make the day stress free for ourselves and our families. (Multiple viewings with vendors, multiple calls with vendors to make the day smooth, early access, storage the day before the event). The background work behind the day was massively appreciated and we cannot thank Danielle and Team for making the day unforgettable.

We married in December 2024 in the Council Chamber at the Guildhall, we're both from Northampton and wanted to be married somewhere historical so this was perfect. There's a number of rooms to choose from based on number of guests or just your preference, however they are all beautifully preserved/presented, and we opted for the Council Chamber due to a family connection. The Guildhall was also dressed beautifully for Christmas with trees and lights everywhere which felt very special. We met with various members of the Guildhall Office team throughout planning, and they were all very friendly, but our Coordinator on the day was Anfernie and we cannot thank her enough for all her help! She was so attentive and really went above and beyond to make our wedding special (she even scrolled through hundreds of fonts on Canva to find the one that matched our signage so she could make a similar sign to be used to show guests where to go!). She also sorted parking permits for our florist and guests with mobility issues to park in the underground car park, and liaised with the coach driver on the day to ensure they were parked in the right spot with a permit to avoid any issues. The team did a great job setting up the room as we discussed/planned, and we were impressed with the level of flexibility we got with such a historic and important room to still make it our own for our ceremony. We did have our own florist bring flowers in but the Guildhall would have provided flowers for the ceremony/register tables included in the room hire costs. Overall, I would highly recommend the Guildhall for some really unique and historical venues to get married and very friendly/helpful staff.

We had the most perfect, joy-filled wedding day at Putteridge Bury in April. We want to say a huge thank you to Kayliegh, Tracey and the whole team at Putteridge for the huge amount of work and creativity they put into delivering our wedding. From our very first showing, where they were so helpful and ready to accommodate our ideas, their excellent communication and reassurances over the year, through to the preparations and set up, and the day itself, where everything went so smoothly and they took care of all the little details, including looking after us both and keeping us hydrated. I am a bit of a control freak, and so it was so lovely to be able to relax on the day, knowing everything was in their competent hands! All of the staff were so friendly and polite, helping us and our guests feel really looked after. Kayliegh and Tracey were incredibly helpful and flexible in helping us to plan out the day in a way that worked for us, being receptive of all our ideas, and going above and beyond to facilitate and improve upon them. For example, having a drinks room and an activities room for the daytime drinks reception, and setting up a more relaxed/comfy area at the bar end of the room for the evening reception (so that the groom could chill out and chat to guests, whilst the bride danced!) The food was amazing and the chef and catering team did a fantastic job creating us a bespoke menu with a mix of vegan, vegetarian and pescatarian dishes for the canapes, wedding breakfast, and evening buffet (which tasted so delicious that our non-veggie friends forgave us!) We also loved working with their recommended florist (The Flower Girl, Luton) and decorator (The Sparkle Shed), who worked together with venue staff to set-up and decorate the Dining Room for the wedding breakfast and evening dancing, helping us to create our spring woodland vision indoors - it looked beautiful and we were incredibly happy! We had a fantastic experience and are so glad that we chose to have our wedding here, we would definitely recommend to others.

Everything was perfect- the organising, the help to plan, the team, the venue, everything on the run up to the day was so very helpful. The day itself was everything we had dreamed of, and the team were amazing. We couldn’t be more grateful for the support and kindness- it made a magical day even more special.
