Kind regards Mr & Mrs LetsonFantastic Experience Venue Service By Corrine and Luke Haffenden, on 18 Apr 2019Date of Wedding - 16 Mar 2019 I just wanted to let you both know how thankful we are to you!! Lisa - we could not have organised the day without you. You have been a massive help and you are a credit to the hotel. Thank you again so much!

All 3 of you are a credit to the hotel and you have made our experience fantastic!!Beautiful venue & Amazing service Venue Service By Lauren Watson, on 18 Jun 2018Date of Wedding - 03 Sep 2017 Why did we choose the Norton House? For us the Norton House Hotel was the obvious choice due to it's beautiful grounds and excellent reputation for service. As we had lots of guests travelling from the South of England we wanted a venue that could host the ceremony, reception and accommodation all under one roof. When we visited the Norton House we knew it was the venue for us as we liked the vibe and the staff were very welcoming and spent a lot of time with us showing us around and answering all our questions. We had a choice between the Ballroom and the Garden Room. We chose the more contemporary Garden room. As nature lovers we liked the big windows to let in the light and views of the walled garden which was in late summer bloom. What menu did you have, did anything inspire this choice? Our food tasting appointment gave us a chance to sample various options from the menu. And we made a night out of it, bringing both sets of parents along to help us decide on what would be most interesting and crowd pleasing for our guests. Luckily most people liked our choices, the feedback was great and the staff catered well for all those with different dietary requirements and allergies. Advice for brides getting married this year ? As our wedding venue was far from our house, we found the wedding fayre at the Norton House helpful. It was a quick way of meeting various suppliers and the ones we recruited from there were all great.Great venue for a wedding Venue Service By John Stirling, on 20 Oct 2017Date of Wedding - 13 Aug 2017 Myself and Jo would like to thank you all very much for making our wedding a special day.

I can honestly say that I can find no fault at all with the service provided by Norton House, not only from a professional level but also, on a personal level as well. Please accept my sincere thanks to you personally for accommodating us in basically all our requests, nothing was too much trouble. Even when we delayed the meals by half an hour, the food was still piping hot and delicious, which many of our guests paid compliments too so hats off to the chef as well!Wonderful ! Fantastic ! A Dream !!!! Truely Amazing Venue Service By Stephanie Smith, on 11 Apr 2006We got married at Norton House in December 2005 and I can truly say that the day was perfect. The venue itself is stunning but was made even more special by the incredibly friendly and very professional staff. Their attention to detail was superb and the day went without a hitch. The food was superb and lots of people commented that it was the best that they had ever had at a wedding. Lots of weddings are held at Norton House and I had fears that we would be treated like we were on a conveyor belt but I can safely say that our day felt totally unique and was nothing short of a dream come true.The perfect wedding location - great food, service and location. Venue Service By Caroline Gourlay, on 18 Jan 2005I couldn't praise Norton House highly enough. The whole day was fantastic and ran like clockwork. In the run up, every little query was dealt with efficiently. Norton house managed to accommodate all the requests of a neurotic bride, including setting up the room just the way I'd wanted it. The food was good and the waiting staff managed to ensure that no-ones wine glass was empty. Gorgeous setting with lovely grounds - perfect on a summers day for drinks in the gardens.
