    Went above and beyond!

    Our wedding coordinator, Melanie, was fantastic and very supportive and helpful throughout the whole experience! All the staff at SbN were fantastic, even helping us pack up our car the next day. Food is perfect, even allowing some custom alterations to make it just what you want. Beautiful venue and even on a rainy day, Melanie made accommodations to make sure we didn't get wet or muddy going onto the golf course for pictures. Everyone was superb with our nephew who has autism and tried to make him as comfortable as possible. When another vendor had brought the wrong supplies the morning of our wedding, Melanie stepped in to try to make it as smooth as possible and that our vision for our wedding was met. Overall an 11/10 experience and we cannot be more grateful to Melanie and all the staff at Stoke by Nayland Resort. Thank you :)

    Vow renewal ceremony

    We worked with Melanie for our vow renewal. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, was extremely helpful and nothing we asked for/or about was too much for her. Our planning and day would not have been so successful without her at the helm.
    The venue was fantastic, the rooms, the food & drinks were amazing. It all added to make it a very special day for both of us.

    Generally speaking the venue was lovely. However there were several good points and bad points which are detailed below.

    Good points; the DJ ( called "My Big Fat Wedding" ) was good.
    The venue with its vast grounds gave a good background.
    The reception staff were very helpful.
    The make-up service was of a high standard.
    Bad points; slow response to our e-mails.
    We had to regularly correct the Wedding Planner over details that we had pointed out in previous e-mails.
    On the day, the service from the planner was adequate but she was not open to any ideas or suggestions given to her.
    We had previously asked for a "open seating" sign to be available but this was ignored.
    The gift "pillar box" had a broken lock which should have been repaired prior to the wedding.
    The wedding cake bottom tier was not retained despite our request for this to happen.

    Absolutely incredible

    This venue was incredible from our first meeting to the end of our wedding night!!
    We booked our wedding with just 2 months to plan and we could not fault them! Especially Jessica our wedding coordinator, who was the absolute best and so amazing throughout!!

    Amazing wedding day 💍

    We recently got married here on the 29th July this year. We had such an amazing day the venue is beautiful, everyone working there was so helpful from starting to plan our big day until the actual day itself. Melanie helped us organise everything we needed even with the last minute calls to change food choices add people on take them off etc nothing was ever to much trouble for her. She definitely made it a lot easier to relax knowing she was there on our day. I would highly recommend Stoke by nayland as a wedding choice and Melanie as a wedding coordinator. We had the most perfect day and already can’t wait to go back to celebrate our anniversary’s there in years to come. ❤️

    Great experience, culminating in our perfect day!

    Very accommodating, from allowing us to choose off menu desserts and dealing with multiple allergies. On the day of the wedding our co-ordinator was on hand to ensure everything run smoothly. Beautiful venue and scenery, would definitely reccommend to others whom are considering their choice of venue.

    Wedding 04.06.22

    We had our wedding at the beautiful Stoke By Nayland Resort on 4th June 2022. We originally booked the venue during the COVID uncertainty in early 2021. Stoke By Nayland were the only venue who gave us a virtual tour during that time and gave quick responses to all our questions.

    In the time from booking the venue to the big day, Jess, Simone and the wedding team were always available to update us and available to meet in person to discuss and co-ordinate our day.

    On the day itself, things couldn't have gone any better! Massive thank you in particular to Jess and the staff, who went above and beyond to make us feel like VIPs on our special day.

    We couldn't recommend Stoke By Nayland Resort highly enough!
