We chose Milwards as our wedding venue as it was a beautiful setting, extremely laid back and just what we had in mind for our special day. All staff at Milwards were very attentive and on hand to help wherever required. Very thankful to Clare's husband for finding me a safety pin when needed and clare for trying to fix my shoes that unfortunately we're giving me some problems. I would definitely recommend Milwards Estate to anyone. We really did have an amazing day and you were a massive part in creating that. Hope to stay in touch.Stunning hardly does it justice Venue Service By Andy and Sian, on 14 Oct 2016Date of Wedding - 16 Jul 2016 We had our wedding at Milwards on 16th July, and we honestly cannot thank Claire and her lovely team enough for ensuring we had the most amazing, perfect wedding day possible. Even when we had a minor hiccup on the day with one of the suppliers, Claire and the team were calm and prepared to do whatever was needed to keep the day running smoothly. As for the venue itself, stunning hardly does it justice. Our guests absolutely loved the beautiful ceremony room, marquee and huge grounds; and loved exploring by the lake and trees. We really couldn't have asked for better. Thank you so much for everything!The most amazing venue. Absolutely stunning. Venue Service By Charlie, on 14 Oct 2016Date of Wedding - 09 Jul 2016 The most amazing venue. Absolutely stunning. But it was the staff that made the day. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Everything thought of down to the very last detail. If you're thinking of booking this place don't think twice. Book it. You won't regret it for a minute.It was just incredible Venue Service By Jamie & Leonie, on 14 Oct 2016Date of Wedding - 09 Jul 2016 We got married here on Saturday (9th July) and had the most perfect day The venue is stunning with space for people to roam the grounds and take amazing photos. The marquee is a fantastic size and is a complete blank canvas to make your day your own. The ceremony room is small and intimate so everyone feels closely involved in the special day. And finally the staff....wow! They went above and beyond to make the day run smoothly for everyone. Everything ran seamlessly and every hiccup sorted without any stress. Honestly, have your wedding here- it was just incredible.The views are breathtaking! Venue Service By Dani & Ian, on 14 Oct 2016Date of Wedding - 29 May 2016 What an Incredible venue.

You found a solution. Chris, Claire and your team, you really made our day so special, we can't thank you enough.
