    Our Perfect Wedding at The Parsonage

    A special thank you to our wonderful wedding coordinators, Samantha and Louise, for making our day absolutely perfect. We are also incredibly grateful to Elaine for her constant support and attention to every detail throughout the day. We truly couldn't have done it without you.

    Wonderful wedding reception and good value accommodation

    We had a wonderful wedding reception at the Parsonage last month. There were several elements that made it a fabulous event: staff very friendly and helpful in the buildup & highly attentive on the day, antique character of the building, lovely gardens setting - our guests all said they had a brilliant time.

    While it was not ideal that we couldn't do a food tasting beforehand, the wedding breakfast was divine! Grateful to the chef who prepared delicious gluten-free equivalents for almost everything (I the groom am GF), flexibility with kids' food choices.

    Having plenty of reasonably-priced accommodation on-site was what appealed to us, and it turned out that there were various types of rooms and apartments/cottage which suited our guests perfectly.

    Although only some rooms have been recently refurbished, with others feeling a little dated, the nightly rates are priced accordingly. Overall, the charm of the building and having the spa/pool next door more than make up for this. Breakfast was great and there is plenty of space to relax on the ground floor across lounges and conservatory.

    Special mention and very grateful for their last minute arranging of chair ribbons (the tie covers we arranged were not compatible with the conference chairs style) from a local supplier that they knew. Issue came up at 10am on-the-day yet they had it sorted by midday!

    Perfect Wedding Day

    We can’t fault the Parsonage for helping our dream wedding day come to live from start to finish!
    We were instantly made to feel at home on our initial visit, and Louise was absolutely fantastic, answering all our questions (no matter how trivial!) and showing us everything we needed to see (including the bridal suite!). We made our decision there and then to book for our day!
    The team were so helpful and flexible with our requests, including extras to make our day even more special, like staying in the bridal suite complimentary the night before, allowing us extra food options and even letting us tailor the drinks package to suit all our guests!
    Communication was fantastic, especially for an overly anxious bride like myself! They were always on hand to answer queries, make changes to bookings and also to help with vendors/other enquiries!
    We had multiple meetings to finalise our day and options, and each time we were made to feel special, offered refreshments, allowed time to discuss options and make changes if needed.
    The day itself could not have run smoother! The venue was prepped to such a high standard, the team constantly came to check in on myself and my groom to make sure we had everything we needed to make the mornings run smooth! Louise did an amazing job during the ceremony with timings and keeping everyone relaxed, and they were amazing during the wedding breakfast keeping food/drinks flowing and ensuring a smooth transition from ceremony to breakfast. The staff moved all our decorations for us from one room to another so seamlessly and made everything look incredible without input!
    The DJ was phenomenal! We put together a playlist and he worked with that, adding his own twist, we couldn’t get people off the dance floor! He even extended out set by half an hour at the end because people were having so much fun! The next morning we came down to find all our decorations/extras packed away really neatly ready for us to take home, meaning we didn’t have to worry about doing it ourselves! They even set aside a section of he breakfast room so all the guests could eat together the following morning without feeling rushed.

    As a result of all their hard work, our day went even better than we could ever imagine, and we are still getting compliments from our guests at how amazing g the day was and the staff were!

    We cannot recommend the parsonage highly enough!! Thank you so much!

    Evening reception

    We had our evening wedding reception here in early July and it was brilliant.
    After getting married in the carribean I had a vision to bring that into our UK event for our family and friends that couldn’t make the ceremony.
    The team at the parsonage were amazing from start to finish.
    They were flexible allowing us to only book the evening event helping us create our carribean themed BBQ menu and having pina colada as our arrival drink.

    The space was brilliant, we had our steel drum band and arrival drinks in the garden along with the BBQ and then partied inside. Maybe different room allowed our older guests to enjoy some peace and quiet while others enjoyed the dance floor.

    The team at the parsonage were great helping us set up as I had a friend doing the wedding cake and dessert table and another doing flowers.
    We used think tank entertainment for the DJ and steel band and the parsonage were very accommodating.

    Our guests all said what a fantastic time they had. A lot stayed and some made use of the spa area before the wedding and to sober up the day after.

    I would highly recommend the parsonage the team are professional hard working and went above and beyond to make our day special.

    A dream come true

    We booked the ceremony and reception here at The Parsonage Hotel & Spa with the Help of Louise, who was constantly at hand every step off the way through the planning of our day. No request was too small! Myself (bride), flowergirl, MOB, MOH had a lovely meal in the Fat Abbot the night before the big day which was delicious. We spent the night in the bridal suite ready for the barrage of hair and makeup the following morning. Despite how hectic it was everything flowed seamlessly thanks to Fiona being on hand. We had breakfast delivered to our room whilst we were getting ready, which made things less stressful. All of the coordinating that went into making our day so amazing was solely down to Fiona and Samantha. Constantly on hand to make sure we were looked after even down to bring us a drink and food whilst we were having photos taken so we wouldn’t miss out on them. I needed additional support throughout the day due to disability and the ladies were fantastic. I genuinely could not have made it through the day without them.
    We would highly recommend and have recommended this place to everyone and anyone that will listen. Even our guests commented on how wonderful the place was, how delicious all the food was. How accommodating they were. Once again thank you to Louise and her team of miracle workers. Xxx

    Perfection

    💞I was a very indecisive bride and the wedding team were so supportive of my changes as we planned our wedding . We had 100 guests and lots of guests stayed the full weekend .
    On the day we had the most amazing on the day coordinator the lovely Elaine who went above and beyond for us from our arrival on the Saturday night until late into our reception on the Sunday night.
    If you are looking for a flexible venue that will run with your ideas this is the venue for you.
    Thank you again to this amazing venue and team
    Love from Mr and Mrs Pearson 25.05.25 💕

    Perfect from start to finish

    We had our wedding at the parsonage in August and i just knew from going to view the venue it was the place I wanted to get married. Beautiful grounds and very friendly staff. From start to finish prior to the wedding and on the wedding day nothing was too much for them. Louise and Samantha looked after us so well and couldn’t ask for more. If you are looking to book here you will not regret it.

    The best day.

    we booked with the parsonage due to the location and with the parsonage being able to offer hotel rooms for guests! we booked the wedding approx 2 years in advance, the parsonage staff communicated well with us from the start to finish, I was amazed how easily everything was and how they went above any expections. They also communicated with any external companies regarding setting up and what time they should come.
    Myself and the hubby ended up staying at the parsonage for 3 nights due to being crazy and moving house 3 days before our wedding, this was booked last minute and the parsonage was amazing at doing this for us which took alot of the stress away.
    On the day, the wedding co ordinators kept me calm and stress free and made sure guests were happy! they also helped set up my DIY wedding, they blended in so well throughout the wedding. the staff was passionate about what they do, I cannot thank both of them enough they gave me and my husband the best day and if i could do it all over again, I would 100 percent return to the parsonage.
