Missenden Abbey Reviews (70) Write a review The most perfect, magical, incredible wedding day Venue Service By Louisa, on 18 Oct 2019Date of Wedding - 21 Sep 2019 Well what can I say but a huge thank you to you and all the staff at Missenden Abbey for making it the most perfect, magical, incredible wedding day for Alice and Tom. We loved the day from start to finish. The Abbey looked beautiful in the sunshine not a cloud in the sky, we were so lucky with the weather. The drinks and canapés on the lawn was like having a private garden party. The wedding breakfast was really delicious, please pass on a huge thank you to the chef and all the staff. The evening buffet looked incredible and the way they displayed the cheese was perfect too. The disco was such fun and the dancefloor was full all evening. It only seems yesterday when we met you in January and managed to get the date in September secured for their wedding. Natasha, thank you so much for making it run so smoothly and for all your hard work from behind the scenes. You were the most amazing wedding coordinatorThe Most Perfect Day Venue Service By Becky & Scott, on 10 Sep 2019Date of Wedding - 07 Sep 2019 I just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything! We had the most perfect day and had amazing feedback from our guests regarding the food and venue! I can’t thank you enough for all your help with everything, it’s been such a pleasure using the abbey for our wedding!A Big Thank You Venue Service By Leonie & Chris, on 04 Nov 2019Date of Wedding - 30 Aug 2019 We wanted to say a big thank you to Kathy and the Missenden Abbey team for making our day so special. The marquee was beautiful, staff were friendly and the food was excellent.Perfect from start to finish Venue Service By Sophie & Nick, on 27 Aug 2019Date of Wedding - 10 Aug 2019 The whole day was perfect from start to finish and that comes down to you being amazing. I felt so calm before, knowing you had everything in hand and you made me feel so confident before walking down the stairs. So we really cannot thank you enough!Absolutely Beautiful Venue Service By Vicki & Simon, on 21 Aug 2019Date of Wedding - 03 Aug 2019 ‘My husband and I had our wedding at Missenden Abbey in August 2019 and would recommend it to everyone. The venue is absolutely beautiful and as soon as you make your way down the drive, you can see it’s well kept gardens no matter what time of year it is. The inside of the Abbey has a modern feel yet still has some of its historic characteristics which is a reminder of it’s interesting past. The staff are just as beautiful as the venue and were so supportive and helpful throughout the whole planning process. One of the ways we chose our suppliers was by the relationship we built with them and how efficient they were. We felt so comfortable emailing and talking to the staff there, personally and over the phone, even with the most small and minor queries which were always answered promptly and with a ‘nothing is a problem’ attitude. Our wedding coordinator, Kathy, was a superstar not only through the planning process but throughout the whole day and even afterwards. Our day was so well organised and all of our guests, and ourselves, were taken care of by all of the staff. Not only were the staff fantastic, but compared to other venues, we felt that Missenden Abbey’s wedding packages were better value for money and with more included. From the use of their beautiful marquee to the inclusion of their brilliant resident DJ, we had everything we had wanted and within our budget. We cannot thank Missenden Abbey enough for everything that they have done for us over the 2 years of planning and highly recommend them for any type of event.’Special Day Venue Service By Nicola & Ruel, on 06 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 02 Jun 2019 Hi Kathy & Laura, just want to say a big thank you from us both for making our day so special and run so smoothly.

We wanted to send a quick note of thanks to you and the team. Despite the stress the night before and early morning, we both had the most amazing day. Everything looked perfect and exactly how we (Emily), imagined. The day ran really smoothly and the food was also amazing. Several guests had said it was one of the best weddings they'd been to and yourself and the team were an integral part of that. You asked for our florists contact information, so please see below. As you can imagine we spoke to several florists (including the one on your website) and felt most comfortable with Charlotte and we weren't disappointed!
