    Can we do it all again?

    We simply couldn't fault our wedding here from the first contact to the end of the night, the staff were so accommodating and helpful, all our guests said the same. They really care about making your day special and go the extra mile to make it happen.
    The venue was ideal for our 60 guests, had a great atmosphere and wasn't crowded at all. The food was exceptional, again all our guests were telling us how much they enjoyed it. The evening was brilliant, staff worked so hard and were excellent, our DJs Fox and Braces gave us such an amazing party.

    We just can't thank everyone enough, five stars hands down

    Perfect venue for our small wedding

    After lockdowns we wanted a more intimate space for a wedding party with our closest friends and family. We visited one of the open days and booked our date right away. Laura was so responsive, always answering any questions we had over email. The space was bright and easy to decorate with help of a local florist. We set up a kids play area on the mezzanine. We had an open bar, our own music, and loved every minute. Highly recommend.

    Perfect venue for a perfect day

    We got married on 2nd September 2018 and the whole day was just amazing thank you to Stefan and his team. This is a fantastic venue for a small to medium wedding with an option to have ceremony in the same place, up in a beautiful mezzanine. Venue itself is designed boho/romantic so doesn't require much decor. Very bright, airy and different from the boring standard with chair covers and bows. Beautiful location in a small historical town of Rayliegh. As weddings executive I very much appreciated that service was like a clock and all members of the team were very attentive.

    Stefan and his team have been absolutely incredible from day 1 of our wedding planning. The big day couldn't have gone any better! Thank you Stefan for making our day so perfect, organised and relaxed. It was everything we had hoped for and more.

    Wedding, August 2016

    I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone at the Old Parish Rooms for making my sons wedding such a wonderful event. It exceeded all expectations, the attention to detail was fantastic and the food was out of this world. The staff were all so attentive and helpful, we couldn't have asked for anything more. My son and his new wife say the wedding day they dreamed of was even better than they expected it to be because of you all. Many thanks once again

    I had my wedding reception at the Parish Rooms on Friday 7th August 2015, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all that was involved it really was the most perfect day.

    The food (afternoon tea and hot buffet) was literally the best that I have ever tasted, it was all so extremely fresh and unique all of our guests commented on how lovely it was! The staff on the day were also amazing and friendly as well as everyone I dealt with on the run up to the day.

    Thanks again, I can't recommend you enough to everyone I speak to.

    My new husband and I had the most wonderful wedding reception at the Old Parish rooms in May 2015. The building itself is absolutely stunning; it's light and bright with beautiful old features and created the perfect relaxed, intimate atmosphere we wanted. It was also an absolute pleasure dealing with both Laura and Toulouse restaurant who catered the wedding - both parties were so friendly, approachable and super helpful. They really made it such a fun experience planning the wedding, and were so lovely answering all our questions and bending over backwards for all our requests! Food on the day was also delicious! I wish I could relive the whole day again! Thanks, Brad and Faye x
