What can I say, this place is second to none, everything about St oysth priory is simply stunning and the team can not do enough for you. They made my day even more special and I can not thank them enough for everything they did. I wouldn't change a thing about having my wedding at the priory. Just take yourself along and view the place and meet the team, you will not be disappointed.

We want to say thank you very much for everything you did for our wedding on Saturday. The whole day was just absolutely perfect and we couldn't be happier. You were all so helpful with the organisation beforehand and making sure it ran smoothly on the day itself. We had a lovely time the following day just wandering round the gardens and we feel extremely privileged that we've had the opportunity to build a connection to such a special place, which we will never forget. We will certainly be returning and look forward to seeing you again in the future!
