Beautiful day!

This venue was amazing. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting it, as were we. The house manager Laura and her team made our day flow perfectly and was super organised, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing Day

Laura was amazing to work with and catered to our every need from day 1. She is such a lovely person and you can tell she really cares about the couple's she works with, as well as the house. We only had our ceremony at Lightwoods and it fit the vision for the small, intimate ceremony we wanted whilst still being beautiful and great value. During our time there, we had acces to the Shakespeare Gardens (which were still beautiful and maintained well even in winter), the Bridal Suite, our ceremony room and another room for our drinks reception.We were also able to decorate the day before which eased our stress. Would definitely recommend to any couple considering. Thank you again to Laura for giving us a day we will cherish forever.

Sadly disappointing

Really hard to get hold of staff, even other businesses commented on how bad their communication is. After 3 weeks of chasing them, I went to the location as they were so hit and miss via call/email only to have them then ask me lots of personal questions over an intercom service rather then coming out to greet us. service (answers were all on email already) they then refused to show us round as it was 4:02 and viewings stopped at 4pm despite the fact we have been there just after 3 struggling over an intercom. They then booked us in the following day but were so unorganised with this too that they had to reschedule this three times. On finally viewing they were very unprofessional, the questions they asked at times were inappropriate and bordered on assuming we were lying about what the function was. It was very uncomfortable. They then appeared to make up a price in her head (no notes, no phone etc) just on the spot and this price was completely different to the website, email and online. The lack of communication, the unprofessionalism, the lack of flexibility, lack of transparency and the overall feeling they left us with sadly meant we no longer wanted to hold our wedding here. A shame as it’s a location that holds so many memories for us both. The marquee and grounds themselves are beautiful but would never recommend dealing with the staff.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
