The Perfect Wedding Day – Thank You Stoke by Nayland!
We got married at Stoke by Nayland on 30th May 2025 and honestly, it was everything we dreamed of and more.
From the very first visit, we knew it was the one – the venue is absolutely stunning, but what really made it special was the team, especially Victoria, our wedding coordinator. She was incredible from start to finish – so lovely, supportive and organised. She made the whole process feel easy and fun, and nothing was ever too much trouble. We honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better.
The whole day ran so smoothly, and that’s down to how brilliant all the staff were. Everyone was super helpful, friendly, and on the ball – it just made the day feel effortless. The food was amazing (so many guests mentioned it!) and the accommodation was perfect too – really comfy and great for guests who stayed over.
We never want to have to plan a wedding again (once is enough 😄), but if we did, we’d pick Stoke by Nayland all over again without hesitation. Absolute 10/10 – can’t recommend it enough!We got married at Stoke by Nayland on 30th May 2025 and honestly, it was everything we dreamed of and more.

Perfect wedding venue
A very beautiful place and nobody could find a single thing to complain about and if you had met the 80 guests we had...that is some feat.
Victoria and her team we're amazing, nothing was too much trouble for her, waiters/esses, bar staff, room service, anyone at all
Save yourself the time of looking about and book this venue, you will not be disappointedA very beautiful place and nobody could find a single thing to complain about and if you had met the 80 guests we had...that is some feat.

Stunning Venue 😍
Whilst our initial wedding coordinator left at short notice, the team at Stoke by Nayland really pulled through and we were assigned Simone, who was absolutely incredible in making sure everything was in place and helping bring our vision to life.
We couldn't have asked for a better day, not only is the venue stunning, but the staff provide a personable service with great care and attention to detail, and the food was amazing - our day was smooth from start to finish, and we can't thank Simone and the team enough❤️Whilst our initial wedding coordinator left at short notice, the team at Stoke by Nayland really pulled through and we were assigned Simone, who was absolutely incredible in making sure everything was in place and helping bring our vision to life.

A truly magical day
A Dream Wedding Day at Stoke by Nayland Resort!
Our wedding at Stoke by Nayland Resort in May 2025 was, quite simply, the best day of our lives, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. From start to finish, the entire experience was flawless, and it's all thanks to Simone and her incredible team, who are an absolute credit to the wedding industry.
Given our personal circumstances and tight timeline, we presented them with quite a challenge, but they went above and beyond to accommodate our every need. Their dedication and willingness to go the extra mile truly made all the difference, ensuring every detail was perfect despite the tricky constraints.
The food was another highlight. We opted for the BBQ, and it was a brilliant choice, perfectly suited to the glorious May weather. Our guests raved about the delicious spread – it was truly exceptional!
Beyond the impeccable service and fantastic food, the location of Stoke by Nayland Resort is breathtaking. Nestled in the heart of 300 acres of stunning woodland and greenery, it provided the most magical backdrop for our special day. And for those looking for truly unique photo opportunities, the golf buggy was an absolute game-changer! Zipping around the picturesque grounds to capture those unforgettable shots was an experience we'll cherish forever.
If you're planning a wedding, look no further than Stoke by Nayland Resort. Simone and her team will ensure your day is as magical and memorable as ours was.

Amazing wedding venue
From start to finish not only were the wedding and events team outstanding but every single staff member who played a part on our special day were amazing. Nothing was too much for anyone and the smiles and happiness on their faces beamed through into the service we and all of our guests received. The events team and Simone (our dedicated coordinator) on the day really know what they're doing, and they helped a bride to be bring idea's to life and stay calm and relaxed the whole day through.

Our Wedding Day - 18/04/2025
Where do i even start, we booked stoke by Nayland as our wedding venue back in 2022. From the very beginning, Victoria, our wedding coordinator did everything she could to make sure we had the most special day. We had roughly 10 meetings with Victoria, every time she asked questions where I had not even thought of things to help us achieve our perfect wedding day. On the day of the wedding, Victoria and her colleague Becks were incredible to say the least. They both made sure me and Jordan had everything we needed prior to walking down the aisle. Victoria and Becks made sure we were hydrated. They even got me some ice for my swollen pregnant feet! We feel so pleased and grateful to have had our special day at stoke by Nayland and it will always now leave a special place in our hearts. The room we stayed in was amazing and the beds were very comfy! The views were so beautiful. I would highly recommend getting married at stoke by Nayland. We wish we could do it again just for the level of service we received!Where do i even start, we booked stoke by Nayland as our wedding venue back in 2022.
