Leanna Sent on 11/08/202538 Days, One Tipi, and the Best Day of Our Lives
If I could give Stoke by Nayland’s tipi weddings more than five stars, I would. From the very first email, Victoria’s communication was flawless — fast, friendly, and full of reassurance. With only 38 days between booking and “I do” (yes, we were that last-minute couple), her attention to detail was phenomenal. She seemed to anticipate needs I didn’t even know I had, and somehow made everything feel calm, organised, and exciting all at once.
We were lucky enough to secure a last-minute package complete with thoughtful complimentary extras, which felt like winning the wedding lottery. On the day itself, Victoria was my right-hand woman — part wedding coordinator, part magician, part friend — making sure every single moment ran smoothly. I didn’t even know what a wedding coordinator really did before this, but now I can confidently say they are the unsung heroes of the big day.
Even our photographer couldn’t stop raving about the location — the lush, sweeping grounds, the perfectly styled high-quality tipi, and the way Victoria personally chauffeured us to the best photo spots so we could capture memories in the most magical light.
When the evening came, the handover to the night team was seamless, and they kept the same impeccable standard — attentive, warm, and ready to make anything happen without hesitation. Nothing was too much trouble.
The venue itself is just stunning. The tipi feels intimate yet grand, with every detail carefully considered. There’s a relaxed elegance to the space that makes it feel special but not stuffy — the perfect balance for a wedding celebration.
I truly wish I could do it all again. Stoke by Nayland didn’t just host our wedding, they helped create a day we’ll be talking about for the rest of our lives. If you’re considering it — don’t hesitate. Book it. You’ll be in the safest (and most capable) hands imaginable. -

We could not have asked anymore from every member of the events team and staff at Stoke by Nayland. Communication was to a very high standard, asking us what we would like, was everything okay? They suggested things as well. Because of the weather and being dark they asked us if we would like to have the confetti throwing inside? The decorations were fantastic as the venue had been decorated for Christmas and we then added our own touches. Once we arrived back at our room there was a lovely little surprise, we won't tell you as this would spoil it.
Even the next day the staff were so helpful, they cleared all the rubbish up and put all of our decorations to one side for us to collect which saved so much time. -

We recently had our wedding at Stoke by Nayland Resort, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish.
The whole team were brilliant throughout, but a special mention has to go to Victoria, who was simply outstanding. Her attention to detail, positivity, and calm approach made the entire process stress-free. Nothing was ever too much trouble — she truly went above and beyond to make sure our day ran flawlessly.
Every one of our guests commented on how fantastic the food was — both in quality and taste — and how smoothly the day flowed. Having everything in one place made things so easy and relaxed for everyone, and the entire day went without a single hitch.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — amazing service, stunning setting, and great value for money. We’d highly recommend Stoke by Nayland Resort to anyone planning their wedding! -

Stoke by Nayland golf and spa resort is an absolutely stunning venue and location. From start to finish I found the staff professional, welcoming and friendly. My wedding coordinator Isabelle was brilliant, we cannot thank her enough for all she done for us. She was kind, bubbly, patient and so attentive to our needs and wants. It truly felt magical and we felt like VIP guests over the two night stay at the resort. We had guest staying in the lodges for the wedding and they are beautiful and easy to get to, especially with the shuttle that is available from 7pm-7am. Nothing was too much trouble when asked and found it reasonably priced for such luxury. We decided on a twilight wedding in the Devora suite, ourselves and guest were blown away with how lovely it is. The bar staff were also incredible and so friendly. I cannot thank everyone enough especially Isabelle, I genuinely feel she couldn’t do anymore for us, she played a huge part in ensuring we had the best day and we so appreciate her. It was the best few days of our lives. Thank you again, Jess and Jack xx -

Great Venue!
Stoke by Nayland (Hitched)
We chose SbN as our wedding venue and was not disappointed. The venue is stunning and has everything you need to make your day perfect. There are plenty of photo opportunities for group and intimate photos. The staff were great on the day but our wedding coorindator Victoria was amazing and really did go above and beyond. She was brilliant from the planning stage right up to the wedding day, providing support to us on the day as well as ensuring everything ran smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she is brilliant at what she does. We can’t thank her enough. -

Hannah Sent on 17/09/2025Flawless day despite rain—beautiful venue, stunning photos, and amazing team.
We had our Twilight wedding ceremony at Stoke by Nayland Resort, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the very beginning, Victoria was absolutely fantastic. She guided us through every stage of planning with such calm and reassurance, always on hand to answer questions and make sure everything was organised perfectly.
On the day itself, everything ran so smoothly—it honestly felt effortless. Even though the weather wasn’t on our side and it rained, the team made sure it didn’t affect the day at all. There were plenty of beautiful indoor spaces for photos, and our photographer had no trouble finding gorgeous backdrops. It actually made the whole atmosphere feel even more magical.
The ceremony was seamless, the food was delicious, and the staff were attentive and professional throughout. Our guests commented on how stunning the venue was and how well looked after they felt. We never once had to worry about timings or details; everything was taken care of so we could just enjoy every moment.
We are so grateful to Victoria and the entire team for making our day perfect in every way. If you’re looking for a venue that combines a beautiful setting with an incredible team who truly care, we can’t recommend Stoke by Nayland highly enough. -

We recently celebrated our wedding at Stoke by Nayland Resort, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. From the moment we arrived, the venue took our breath away—nestled in the heart of the countryside, it offered the most stunning backdrop for our special day.
Simone, Shannon and Is were amazing. Every single person we interacted with was warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything ran smoothly. Their professionalism and kindness made us feel completely at ease, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble.
The venue itself is beautifully maintained, with elegant spaces that felt both luxurious and welcoming. Whether it was the ceremony, the reception, or the overnight stay, every detail was thoughtfully handled and beautifully presented.
Our guests were full of compliments—from the delicious food to the gorgeous views—and we’re still receiving messages about how magical the day was.
Thank you to the entire team at Stoke by Nayland Resort for helping us create memories we’ll cherish forever. You truly made our wedding day unforgettable.
