    Best wedding venue with an amazing and thoughtful team!!

    Where do we even begin!

    From arranging our first viewing with Lil and driving up the grand driveway into Thicket Priory, we knew it was the venue for us.

    We cannot recommend enough choosing Thicket Priory for your wedding. If you're lucky enough to have Lil as your co-ordinator, you'll be in the very best hands. From the planning stages right through to the wedding day itself, she ensured everything ran seamlessly. Her organisation, attention to detail and calm and reassuring nature meant we could relax and enjoy every moment. She is truly amazing, and we owe so much to her for helping us have one of the best days of our lives!!

    We booked Thicket Priory for the entire weekend (Friday-Sunday) and I would highly recommend doing the same! The whole team were on hand throughout the weekend to help with anything our guests or we needed, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and every single one of our guests commented on how beautiful it was.

    A huge thank you to the Thicket Priory team but a special shoutout to Lil for making our wedding weekend everything we dreamed it would be and more. It was simply perfect, and we're already counting down the days until we can come back to renew our vows!

    Dream Wedding Venue

    If you are considering Thicket Priory, stop considering and book it. You will not regret your decision for one second. An absolutely beautiful team, supported by a wonderful, friendly and truly supportive team. We had the privelege of being looked after by Becks and beyond being fantastic at her job, she was at her core just a lovely, warm person who made us feel at ease throughout the whole process. The grounds and building are stunning, making for amazing and varied segments to your weekend. We had reception drinks on the veranda, breakfast in the pantry, evening food in the courtyard and our ceremony in the little ampitheatre by the lake. There are very few venues which can offer such diversity under one roof. I would recommend with every fibre of my being! 100/10.

    Completely perfect!

    From the very first phone call we had with Thicket, they have just been the most incredible team. We had a perfect wedding weekend in May, which was complete with the loveliest, kindest team you could imagine. Every single member of the Thicket team were amazing and made everything feel so so special. We were super lucky to have Becks as our Wedding Coordinator. Becks guided us through the whole planning process seamlessly with many laughs along the way. She gave us so much care and guidance and truly went the extra mile to ensure our wedding was everything we could have dreamed of. She is truly amazing and we cannot thank her enough. Becca and Liv were just fabulous too. Becca made all the bridal suite prep feel completely easy and Liv was wonderful. Liv made me and my bridesmaids feel SO comfortable and looked out for us all day long.

    The venue itself is just outstanding - no picture will ever do it justice and each time you go, there’s something else to take in.

    A truly unforgettable wedding weekend and we’re forever grateful to the team for making it happen ❤️

    An amazing place to get married!

    What an unbelievable venue! Thicket Priory was the venue for our wedding in April and honestly it was the such a special place to get married…the chapel, ballroom, grounds, & accommodation offered so much for us with numbers in excess of 100 guests. We also stayed the night before our wedding, making the most of an exceptional venue. Additionally, the staff were all amazing in ensuring every guest had the best day possible. Becks was our wedding planner and we cannot stress how brilliant she was in ensuring everything went to plan. She was so attentive from our first meeting and made it an easy decision to choose Thicket Priory with it being the only place we could see ourselves getting married.

    The biggest compliment we can pay is to say that so many guests commented on the venue, saying how stunning it was. We were blessed with great weather but we are certain that even without this, the day would have still been just as good.

    Words can’t do justice to how good the day was but one thing is for sure…we will never regret having our wedding at Thicket Priory.

    An Unforgettable Weekend

    5 Stars - Thicket Priory is a phenomenal place to get married. The venue itself is stunning; the building and the grounds are gorgeous. It succeeds at being elegant and grand without a hint of pretentiousness or ostentation.

    The team at Thicket are second to none. The care and attention to detail they took made our weekend feel all the more special. We really appreciated their recommended suppliers selection, and the care they had taken to curate this list. It made our experience planning even easier.

    Special thanks to Anna for making us feel incredibly comfortable and supported for the 12 months prior, and from all our guest who mentioned how excellent she was. We wish we could do it all again!

    Best weekend ever!

    We cannot recommend Thicket Priory enough!
    From the moment we first visited we knew it was the place — no other venue came close. It has such a special atmosphere, and we couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else.
    The venue itself is absolutely perfect, and everything about it made our celebration feel unique and memorable. They let us put our own spin on things but made sure it was going to work and supported us wherever we needed it.
    The staff went above and beyond in every way, and a special mention has to go to Becca. She not only made everything run so seamlessly and stress-free, but she genuinely cared about us and our day. That meant so much, and it really wouldn’t have been the same without her. We’d be here forever if we listed everything that she/the team at Thicket did - and we probably don’t even know half of it.
    We’re so grateful for everything, it was more than we could have ever hoped for - best weekend ever! X

    Incredible venue

    Thicket Priory was the most incredible venue for our wedding in December 2025. From start to finish, everything was seamless and genuinely exceeded our expectations. The venue itself is stunning, and the whole day ran so smoothly that we were able to relax and fully enjoy it.
    The suppliers Thicket Priory recommended were all fabulous — professional, talented, and a perfect fit for what we wanted — which made planning so much easier and far less stressful.
    A special mention has to go to Lil, the wedding coordinator, who was honestly more than we could ever have asked for. She had brilliant ideas to guide us without ever being pushy, she really listened and understood our vision, and she brought such empathy and reassurance throughout the process. On the day she was calm, in control, and a total miracle worker — making sure everything happened exactly as it should, without us having to worry about a thing.
    We would absolutely recommend Thicket Priory to anyone looking for a wedding venue. It was amazing from start to finish.

    We want to do it all over again!

    Thicket Priory truly beat every expectation we had and more. From the very start, the whole process felt effortless, helped hugely by their excellent suggested vendors. Lil was incredible throughout — so down to earth, supportive, and genuinely lovely that by the end of the process she felt more like a friend than a coordinator. No idea was too whacky; everything we suggested was met with enthusiasm and a real “let’s do it” attitude. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, the organisation seamless, and the entire experience was joyful rather than stressful. We couldn’t recommend Thicket Priory more highly.

    Magical Wedding Venue!

    From the moment we walked into Thicket Priory, saw the venue and met Becca and the team, we knew instantly that this was where we would have the most amazing day.

    Everything ran like clockwork from start to finish, and we were made to feel so welcome and so well looked after throughout the entire process. The venue itself is absolutely stunning — full of character, magic, charm, and such a special atmosphere. The onsite bedrooms are beautiful and were a real highlight for us and our guests.

    The food provided by Hog & Apple was insane — we are still getting comments about how incredible it was!

    Becca (our Thicket Priory Wedding Coordinator) was absolutely amazing from day one; she is truly born to do what she does. Her care, organisation, and attention to detail made the day completely stress-free and perfect.

    Every single guest had an amazing time and so many people commented on how beautiful the venue was.

    We couldn’t have wished for a better place to get married and will be forever grateful to the whole team at Thicket Priory for giving us the most unforgettable day.
