I can't thank you all enough at Bijou weddings and at Notley Abbey for everything you all did to make Charlotte and Tom's wedding day run so seamlessly and smoothly. It really was a such a beautiful, totally stress free and fantastic day - it surpassed all my dreams and hopes for them - they said they truly had the wedding day of their dreams - and we all had the most amazing and memorable day - thank you all so very much. We would, and many of our guests have said the same, have no hesitation in recommending Notley Abbey and Bijou weddings - everybody we have dealt with has been excellent.
Mixed feelings

We got married at Notley Abbey in September. The setting is stunning, the facilities are excellent and well maintained. We were however very disappointed with the strict rules at Notley. Everything comes at an additional cost, be cautious. We hoped for an outdoor ceremony, it rained so ended up inside but still got charged for outdoor set up. This hadn't been communicated clearly to us. Make sure you read the Policy's back to back! Similarly, alciholic 10ml wedding favours were £5 per favour! There are minimum guest numbers which if you don't meet, there are added charges. I could continue. On the day staff were helpful and professional. But they were strict and reluctant to allow us to make last minute changes on the day, such as doing a confetti line. We had a great day surrounded by our nearest and dearest, but I can't help but these factors impacted on our memories of Notley.
Your staff are amazing

My daughter's wedding took place at Notley Abbey on Friday 8 September and it could not have been more wonderful. We fell in love with the venue the first time we visited (having already seen half a dozen other wedding venues). It is such a romantic and atmospheric place. Each room downstairs has its own character and the bedrooms are extremely comfortable with lovely decor. Your staff are amazing - properly trained and taking their role very seriously. Our wedding manager was so helpful and responded promptly to any query. The wonderful location, the quality and efficiency of your team, combined with the months of planning the couple worked so hard on resulted in a fairy tale wedding that will give us all happy memories forever.

Hi Ann,
Thank you SO much for your help planning the wedding and reminding us of all the things we had to do. We had the perfect day, and the staff on the day were amazing at sorting out the hiccups. They were so flexible and accommodating and efficient, it was much more than I could have hoped for! The guests all had a great time, as did we. Also compliments to the chef as everyone raved about the food, particularly the lamb and dessert! The venue looked amazing, (even in the rain) and all the guests loved it.

Dear Carol and the Bijou team. We had the most wonderful day and could not believe how glorious the weather was! All of my friends told me that as they were waiting for me to walk down the aisle the clouds parted, the sun shone through and a butterfly floated down the aisle just before we entered - remarkable! Barbara was really fantastic on the day and kept us so relaxed and organised - it was a pleasure to have her there guiding us through every moment of the day. We really loved every minute of the day and didn't want it to end!
World Class!

I am sorry this is such a belated ‘thank you’. I have now had time to absorb and reflect on the whole event. Every contact with the staff, in whatever capacity, was wonderful. You made my daughter’s wedding day something to remember. Your foresight, care and absolute consideration was truly marvellous – I absolutely mean that. You put us first in every regard. From someone serving champagne right through to the person in charge – World Class! Thank you!
Everything ran so smoothly!

Hi Aly,
Many thanks for all your help leading up to our wedding day and to the team at Notley who made everything run so smoothly on the day - they even managed to keep most of the rain away! We both had such an amazing day and it was so great to be able to relax knowing that the Bijou team had everything in hand.
An Amazing Venue!
