    Truly Amazing

    I really don’t know where to start with the priests house. The photos do not do this place justice, it is a whole other level of out of this world beautiful. From the moment we pulled up in the car park we knew that this was the place for us the whole atmosphere is amazing. The chapel is absolutely breathtaking.

    From the moment we contacted the venue for a look around everyone was so responsive and went out of their way to be helpful. Steve showed us round and immediately was amazing really working with our vision and budget and really wanting to help us make it our wedding but wasn’t pushy at all.


    Communication throughout was amazing with the whole team and our day was seamless. Conor organised our ceremony and was incredible. Debbie did our flowers which were the talk of the day and absolutely breathtaking! Every single person at the priests house was lovely and went out of their way to make our day perfect, which it was! I truly couldn’t recommend them enough!

    Made our wedding day the one we had dreamed of.

    We had our wedding here and it was the perfect day for us. The venue is stunning, food was exceptional and the staff went above and beyond for us to make sure we had the wedding day we dreamed of.
    All of our guests commented that it was such a beautiful location and they enjoyed the food so much.
    Thank you to Connor, Debbie, Steve, Mark and the rest of the team for making our wedding so special, we will forever be grateful.

    Stunning venue!

    We highly recommend this venue. Our guests absolutely adored being there for the day as did we. It was a really easy process to book with them and communication was great also. Our wedding photos look stunning thanks to the visually amazing background provided by the venue :)

    Lovely place for a wedding. My son married here in December. The weather was cold but the venue and staff were fantastic. Couldn't do anymore to make it such a special day. The meal after the wedding was lovely and presented well. Would recommend this place for a wedding but maybe another month that's a bit warmer.

    I am not one to leave reviews on social media however this time I feel compelled to do so.

    My daughter and her fiancé booked the Priest house for their wedding ceremony and wedding function. They booked one of the twilight packages as Ellis wanted the wedding to be intimate and personal. The wedding took place at 5pm then everything just flowed from that point until midnight.
    After the ceremony there were canapés and drinks whilst pictures were being taken. We then had the speeches followed by the buffet and disco.

    OK, so now we know the order of things it's time to review the service we received from the location and staff.

    The location is absolutely stunning, we were blessed with fine sunny weather but I genuinely believe you will be hard pressed to find a location more suited to an intimate and personal wedding. The place was set up to a very high standard and just looked so inviting. You could not have done a single thing to make it any more the inviting.
    The owners have all the way through been attentive and responsive and this was carried over to the actual day.
    Every member of staff there was again, attentive and responsive but it didn't feel like they were 'staff'. It actually felt like they were all part of the ceremony and we were all there to celebrate whilst maintaining their professionalism. They were brilliant and are an absolute credit to themselves. The Priest House is very fortunate to have people with this kind of attitude and it reflects brilliantly on the venue and management.
    Everything we asked for we got. The canapés, drinks and food were excellent.
    The whole wedding just flowed perfectly and as Ellis said to me, it was the best day of their lives (so far !)

    I would like to thank the Priest house for all the work they put in to making it such a great day.

    I would 100% recommend The Priest House to anyone looking for a romantic and intimate venue for a wedding.
    Thank you.

    Pure Quality

    First of all the grounds are absolutely gorgeous, it's like stepping into a wild fairytale. The Chapel really sealed the deal for us with it's large windows which allow plenty of light in, the rustic bare walls and the incredible decor.
    The staff were wonderful and the service we received was second to none. Absolutely amazing all round

    The Priests House's reply:

    Hi Tamaryn
    Thank you for your kind comments. Delighted you loved the day and the venue. Was certainly a lovely wedding. We hope to see you again one day.
    Regards
    The Priests House team

    So many compliments from everyone...

    Both Paul and I would like to express our heart felt thanks for all of the hard work that everyone put into our wedding day.

    As soon as I walked into the venue on our look around day, I knew it was the right place for us. On the day the venue was even better than I could ever have imagined. The tables were sensational. All of the finishing touches were amazing!

    The food was amazing. So many compliments from everyone. If I wasn’t in a wedding dress I would have licked my plate clean! Both Andy (vegan) and James (egg and bean allergy) were so happy with all of their food. And Conor brought Andy his own plate of Vegan wedding cake to top it off!

    Thank you so much for making our day...

    Hi Guys

    We’ve not long been back from our honeymoon but we just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone involved (Debbie, Steve, Mark, Kat, Conor & co) for how well our wedding day went last weekend. The flowers were just beautiful, the food was amazing and everything was absolutely perfect.

    Conor did a cracking job making sure we didn’t need to worry about anything and everyone loved it. We had so many comments about how amazing the venue was, so we couldn’t be happier with it all!

    Thank you so much for making our big day as special as it could have been.

    Daniel and Laura

    You even arranged the weather!

    I am sorry it has taken a while to write this note to thank you for the wonderful day you gave us at Sam and Katya's wedding. Debbie - your floral decorations were stunning; Mark - the food was out of this world and Conor and Kat - the attention to detail and friendliness you gave out party was without fault. You even arranged the weather!

    Most of all we cannot thank you enough for being flexible to reschedule the wedding date at short notice.

    You have a wonderful venue with professional and experienced individuals who really care that a wedding day is special. Thank you for everything

    You always feel a part of the family...

    I first noticed this venue whilst out running pre engagement. It’s rural location and rustic charm caught my eye.

    Debbie and Steve were very prompt with communication and we booked to view after confirming they would allow our dog to be part of the day.

    Wow, the chapel is stunning and the light floods in creating a truly special place. We knew nothing would compare and agreed a date. We loved how it was family run, it always felt personal and Debbie knows the venue inside out. It took the stress away and the attention to detail was meticulous.

    In the lead up to the wedding we went up for Sunday lunch and attended the open day. We knew our guests would be well fed and Debbie would create our vision for the day. They have plenty of decorations which are free to use.

    The day itself was perfect and everything as expected. Many guests commented how much they loved the venue and how great the food was, including the portion size. They also plan to come back for Sunday lunch!

    This venue is truly memorable and you always feel part of the family and not just a customer. Would 100% recommend.
