Gave us our dream wedding

Kayleigh, Tracy and the entire team at putteridge bury were incredible in helping us have the wedding we dreamed of.
They responded to us quickly, were incredibly flexible when we had changes in mind and gave us great suggestions to help deliver what we wanted.
We spent 2 years planning and communicating, we loved going to the venue to visit them. Something we will absolutely miss are the laughs we had together.
Thank you for making it the entire day a dream, it was absolutely perfect. We will make sure we return every anniversary for afternoon tea.
For any couples searching for a wedding venue... I can't speak highly enough about putteridge bury and their wonderful team.

We are so glad we had our wedding here!

We had the most perfect, joy-filled wedding day at Putteridge Bury in April.

We want to say a huge thank you to Kayliegh, Tracey and the whole team at Putteridge for the huge amount of work and creativity they put into delivering our wedding. From our very first showing, where they were so helpful and ready to accommodate our ideas, their excellent communication and reassurances over the year, through to the preparations and set up, and the day itself, where everything went so smoothly and they took care of all the little details, including looking after us both and keeping us hydrated. I am a bit of a control freak, and so it was so lovely to be able to relax on the day, knowing everything was in their competent hands! All of the staff were so friendly and polite, helping us and our guests feel really looked after.

Kayliegh and Tracey were incredibly helpful and flexible in helping us to plan out the day in a way that worked for us, being receptive of all our ideas, and going above and beyond to facilitate and improve upon them. For example, having a drinks room and an activities room for the daytime drinks reception, and setting up a more relaxed/comfy area at the bar end of the room for the evening reception (so that the groom could chill out and chat to guests, whilst the bride danced!)

The food was amazing and the chef and catering team did a fantastic job creating us a bespoke menu with a mix of vegan, vegetarian and pescatarian dishes for the canapes, wedding breakfast, and evening buffet (which tasted so delicious that our non-veggie friends forgave us!)

We also loved working with their recommended florist (The Flower Girl, Luton) and decorator (The Sparkle Shed), who worked together with venue staff to set-up and decorate the Dining Room for the wedding breakfast and evening dancing, helping us to create our spring woodland vision indoors - it looked beautiful and we were incredibly happy!

We had a fantastic experience and are so glad that we chose to have our wedding here, we would definitely recommend to others.

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

The food was very delicious . Well, of course, Venue itself, with its scope and gardens, simply does not need extra comments. Thank you !

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!!!

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
