Wow wow wow!

Gosh, where to begin! Kayleigh and her team went above and beyond every expectation from start to finish. The venue was just perfect, the attention to detail was outstanding, the food was exceptional, catering for all my guest's dietary requirements etc. Kayleigh made me feel really special on the day, checking I was ok and that I had a drink etc. It was just perfect and our guests all commented on how beautiful everything was. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Beautiful venue and amazing staff!

Firstly we would just like to say a HUGE thank you to Kayliegh & Tracey for the continued help and support over the last 4 years. I know I have emailed/phoned a lot! You have both always been so helpful, friendly and professional.

I would also like to say a HUGE thank you to Debra (who couldn’t do enough to help with our little boy!) & me!

We have had so many compliments from our guests commenting on how beautiful the venue was, how delicious the food was and how friendly, helpful and polite the staff were.

Nothing was too much trouble and you all fulfilled requests when required.

Me and Ben had the best Wedding Day we could have wished for. We both felt so at ease and I did not worry once about anything or how anything looked (I like to be in control) as I knew Kayliegh and her team would fulfil our wishes.

You guys exceeded them!

The evening was equally amazing! My evening guests commented on how yummy the food was and how great the atmosphere was.

Thank you for everything, you really helped make our day magical.

All the best,
Mr & Mrs Maddison

Out of this world!

Thanks so much to everyone at Putteridge Bury (especially Kayleigh) our wedding was perfect from start to finish and even before that, the help and support from the team bringing our dream wedding to life was second to none! From hog roasts, fireworks to flying our own flags…., it was everything we wanted and more. All of our friends and family couldn’t believe the setting, views and service and often still say it was the best venue/ wedding they have been to, as the bride and groom… we completely agree! Thanks so much to everyone at Putteridge for bringing our dream wedding to life!!!

I would like to thank Kayliegh and her team for helping us organize our wedding day at the highest level. They were always in touch, welcoming our ideas and everyone was super friendly. The food was very delicious . Well, of course, Venue itself, with its scope and gardens, simply does not need extra comments. Thank you !

A perfect wedding venue

We had my son’s wedding at Putteridge Bury and we could not have had chosen a better venue. All the staff at Putteridge were so helpful and kind and made the wedding perfect. Kayleigh was a fantastic wedding coordinator who made sure the day ran so smoothly. The food was outstanding and the reception area and tables looked amazing. A lot of the guests said it was the best wedding they had been to so a big thank you to all at Putteridge who helped make the day so special for us all.

Putteridge Bury - perfect day

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue than Putteridge Bury for our wedding. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish and Kayliegh was on hand throughout. All the Putteridge Bury team were amazing providing the personal touch which makes all the difference. We had lovely weather so were able to make the most of the beautiful grounds. Can highly recommend this venue.

August 19

We looked at Puttridgebury about 18 months ago and thought it was the perfect venue, but equally we had a good feeling when we met Kayleigh & Jan.
Consultations with the 2 were simple, clear and we felt that they couldn’t do enough for us.
Leading up to the day Kayliegh practically became my PA and she really looked after me and reminded me of things I’d actually completely missed.
Nothing was too small or too big them to handle.
Needless to say our reception went superbly well and we can’t thank Kayliegh and Jan enough for what they did.

Putteridge Bury - amazing from start to finish....

We had our fairy tale Wedding breakfast (93) and Reception at Putteridge Bury (140) at 3pm - midnight, for the wedding breakfast (93 guests).

The stars for us were Kayliegh and Jan from the Wedding and Events team - they were brilliant !!! Absolute professionals in every way but they both cared passionately about our special day and made sure we had it!!! From showing us around the venue a year before the actual wedding day, to holding a superb food and drink tasting evening, to offering recommendations for service providers when we had cancellations and just being there on the end of the phone when I was requesting help with ideas or just having a panic, nothing was too much trouble for these ladies. On the actual day and evening, Jan was with us the entire time, providing the personal touch and ensuring everything ran smoothly.

We went for the orchid package so had arrivals drinks, hors d’oevres, a sit down 3 course meal and wine - wow!! The roast lamb was out of this world and had every guest commenting!! All of the food came out at the same time and was delicious!! The staff did a great job between them and the venue catered for vegetarians too. It was worth every penny!!! The bar staff also need a mention for being efficient.

We were blessed with the sunshine and so were able to enjoy the breath taking grounds of Putteridge Bury and now have some beautiful wedding photos as a result. The 8 children we had at our day spent their time outside enjoying the grounds.

To summarise our time at Putteridge Bury - it was truly amazing we cannot fault the fantastic venue, professional and efficient staff or stunning grounds.
Highly recommend this venue!!

Baby shower!

We held a baby shower here and I could not fault the venues service at all! The gardens were beautiful and worked perfectly for our gender reveal... All our guests were absolutely speechless and again could not fault anything! Although it was not a wedding, we would recommend this venue to everyone for any occasion! We will definitely be back for any upcoming weddings or birthdays! Thank you so much to the whole team.

Simon and Mia's Wedding Celebration

We expected that a reception at Putteridge Bury would be an enjoyable event but the reality far exceeded our expectations. The food was excellent. Mass catering can often be a bit disappointing but all the food was imaginative, well cooked and presented, and many of our guests commented on the deliciousness of the lamb and the trouble taken to give the children such an imaginative dessert not just ice cream and a wafer.
It was however, not just the food and the venue that made it such a great day. It was the staff. Everyone was so professional but also so welcoming and friendly and little kindnesses like making a cup of tea for an early arrival were much appreciated.
As a rule most ordinary people do not run big events and the whole thing can be quite daunting but Kayleigh and Maxine and her team took all the stress out of the day and made it a really happy experience, full of good memories.
