Hodsock Priory Reviews (213) Write a review Best day of our lives Venue Service By Fishy, on 11 Sep 2019Date of Wedding - 12 Aug 2019 The things for us that made Hodsock perfect (and practical for us): - The staff - we can't praise them enough - On the day, we were looked after by both Courtney and Vicki, along with the rest of the staff at Hodsock - I don't know how, but the bar/waiting staff ensured we were both fed/watered constantly, without us even noticing, often I'd realise I'd had a drink top up without even noticing. In the morning whilst I was getting ready sandwiches and drinks were brought in for us - they remained completely unobtrusive but made sure every need was met - they were brilliant - Accessibility - both of my parents have mobility issues - the entire of the ground floor (where all the action happens) is on one level - no sneaky steps/uneven floors etc - there are both steps and gravel outside, and obviously stairs leading to the bedrooms. - Dog friendly - our dog, Rufus, was a non negotiable part of our day, he was allowed in all wedding areas as well as outdoors - Dietary requirements - like with any large group of people, you're going to end up with various requirements (including a bride who wants her own, special starter HA). One of my bridesmaids is vegan, not always easy to accommodate, but Hodsock put in the extra leg work to ensure she was accommodated beautifully :D this was alongside catering for various allergies/intolerances - I was thrilled as no bride wants a grumpy/hungry bridesmaid :D I've had to hugely cut my review (word count) but can be found onlineAmazing day Venue Service By Ruth and John Lilley, on 24 Apr 2019Date of Wedding - 21 Apr 2019 Hi vicki Thank you to you and all your colleagues for giving us an amazing day. It was more amazing then we could of imagined or thought it would be. Everyone was lovely . I’m glad my guests behaved themselves. We can’t wait for the professional photos to arrive as we can’t stop looking at the ones we have from our guests. It’s a shame me and John didn’t get someone to video the whole day.
