Dionne Sent on 06/09/2026A Beautiful Wedding Venue
We had our beautiful wedding here on 27th August, and we truly had the best day of our lives! ❤️
Sam and the whole team were absolutely amazing from start to finish. They were so hands-on and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the day. They even did a test run of serving our BBQ wedding breakfast table by table. They did a superb job and were highly professional throughout.
All of the staff at the Lodge were so attentive and went above and beyond for us. We stayed overnight at the venue, and the restaurant team even kept a piece of the delicious cheesecake on their dessert menu especially for me to enjoy the morning of the wedding. They brought it up to my room along with a bottle of Prosecco.
The Lodge’s wedding suppliers were also fantastic. We had a magician, Paula the saxophonist, and Ian the DJ, who all helped make the day so memorable. We also had the pleasure of having the venues supplier photographer, Connor Finch, who was absolutely lovely and had such a calm and reassuring influence throughout the day. Thank you so much to Weddings at the Lodge, Sam, and the entire team for everything you did for us. You were all amazing and helped make our special day one we will remember forever! ❤️ -

Jamie Sent on 18/10/2025Wedding Day 2025
We had our wedding here in March this year and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the very beginning, the service was excellent — we had regular meetings in the lead-up to make sure everything was planned and ran smoothly on the day.
The staff were absolutely amazing and took care of everything, meaning we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. It made the whole day completely stress-free and allowed us to just enjoy every moment.
We had a particular theme in mind for our wedding party setup, and Sam and Ann went above and beyond to help us achieve it. The space looked absolutely beautiful - even better than we had imagined!
We honestly couldn’t recommend this venue enough, the staff, the service, and the attention to detail were all outstanding. Thank you for helping make our day so special! -

A wonderful day.
My daughter had her wedding reception at the lodge on a Monday evening - a twilight wedding. We were able to get into the marquee early on the Monday morning to decorate and the Photo Booth, Dj were able to get access readily whilst we attended the ceremony elsewhere so they could set up. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious, they chose the hot buffet of seven items and it was a perfect amount for the 70 guests.
The grounds outside are beautiful, perfect for unforgettable photographs with manicured gardens and a beautiful pond and trees as a backdrop.
A wonderful venue and I would highly recommend it for any celebration, not just weddings. -

Me and my husband booked our wedding 3 years in advance and from the moment we booked Sam and her staff were so helpful. On the day all the staff went above and beyond from start to finish. The venue looked absolutely stunning. I had so many family members telling me that it was one of the best wedding venues that they have been to. If I could do it all over again I’d still pick this venue no doubt about it. 100% recommendRettendon Lodge Events's reply:

Amy Sent on 22/09/2025What a wonderful day!
From the minute we booked Samantha and Anne were helpful and accommodating.
Anything I asked Samantha she would reply to every one of my queries.
Even when I wanted to make amendments after my itinerary was made she was most helpful making changes.
My decor looked stunning and my guests all commented how beautiful the venue was!
The roast carvery was delicious and I had comments from my vegetarian guests that the beetroot wellington was divine.
On the evening of my wedding nothing was too much trouble for Samantha and Anne and the bar staff were really friendly and helpful. I had childcare for my son who has additional needs and they made sure she was looked after and ensured they took her a meal and drinks outside when she couldn’t sit at the table.
Ian the dj , well he was great , a good host , confident and great music for the evening disco.
All in all we had a fantastic day and everything ran smoothly!
For the Price you pay compared to other venues I would highly recommend!Rettendon Lodge Events's reply:

Bobbie Sent on 09/09/2025What a venue! Stunning
I had viewed a few venues and they didn’t come close to what I had visioned. We were getting married in Cyprus but I wanted a Uk party, all the venues I’d looked at weren’t ticking the boxes, and then a friend recommended the Lodge. As soon as I walked in I fell in love. The decor was stunning it was private and spacious. My package included food, lights and a dj. Samantha was so easy to communicate with and we had meetings before so I knew the timeline for my guests. The food was so yummy and Dj had everyone dancing all night. We were then able to book a room in the main building to stay the night. We had a great second celebration thank you so muchRettendon Lodge Events's reply:
Hi Bobbie,
We are delighted to hear you had such a wonderful time celebrating your uk wedding reception at The Lodge.
We love when our couples give us a challenge and you absolutely smashed it, a well and truly memorable experience and so much fun was had by all.
All the very best for the future and a lifetime of making more cherished memories xxx

Chrissi Sent on 14/05/2025Brilliant venue
An absolutely brilliant place with lovely staff, and so reasonably priced. And although reasonably priced everything was top quality - the food was great. I'm recommending it to anyone who asks. Most of our guests were older or had various medical issues and nothing was too much. The dj even checked that the lights were OK for my epileptic sister, and he's a brilliant dj.
We also booked rooms at the lodge, which my family say were also lovely and comfortable.
