Megan Sent on 31/12/2025Where do we even begin? Thicket Priory is simply magical.
We were lucky enough to have Thicket Priory exclusively for the entire weekend—two nights with 70 of our closest family and friends staying on site—and it was, without question, the most incredible wedding venue we could ever have imagined.
From the moment we arrived, everything felt special. The venue itself is absolutely stunning—elegant, atmospheric, and full of character—yet it also feels warm, welcoming, and completely yours for the weekend. It truly felt like home, but a fairytale version.
The staff deserve endless praise. Every single person was friendly, kind, and unbelievably helpful. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and the attention to detail was outstanding. You could genuinely feel how much they care about making your wedding perfect. A special mention has to go to Anna, our wedding coordinator, who was nothing short of sensational. From the build-up to the big day itself, she was calm, organised, reassuring, and completely on it. We honestly could not have done it without her—she made everything seamless and stress-free, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment.
Our guests haven’t stopped talking about how incredible the venue was. The on-site chapel was a huge selling point for us—especially for our December wedding, as no one had to step outside or worry about the weather. Everything flowed beautifully, and the entire weekend felt magical from start to finish.
If you are even considering Thicket Priory—book it. You will not regret it. We genuinely wish we could do it all over again.
Thank you, Thicket Priory, for giving us the wedding of our dreams.

Katharine Sent on 15/09/2025My dream wedding!
From the very first call with Anna, all the way from Costa Rica, I just knew Thicket Priory was the one. Even before I saw it in person, which wasn’t until two months before the wedding, Anna made me feel so welcome and gave me everything I needed to feel confident and excited. She felt less like a coordinator and more like a friend, guiding me through every step, answering all my questions, and making sure I felt completely taken care of. During our stay, she went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and it honestly could not have gone better.
The venue itself is magical. The lake, the grounds, the bedrooms, the décor, everything was beyond stunning. There were so many details that meant our guests were never trying to find something to do, secret doors, hidden corners, and little magical touches everywhere. Having 35 bedrooms on site was brilliant, meaning our family and wedding party could stay together without worrying about transport. We also loved being able to use different ceremony spaces, each gorgeous in its own way.
In terms of value for money, the venue was worth every penny. Anna and the team were extremely professional, approachable, and friendly throughout. I could go on for days, but I am honestly lost for words at how incredible this venue is and how it made our wedding magical. I truly believe this is the best wedding venue out there! -

My goodness where to begin! Our journey with Thicket Priory was a genuine fairytale. We first viewed Thicket in April of 2024, we have videos swinging on the swing imagining sitting there on our wedding day! We went on to view a few more venues, but we honestly knew they were all doomed - we’d fallen in love, and couldn’t imagine ourselves getting married anywhere else.
Anna showed us around that day, and we had the incredible fortune of Anna then being allocated as our wedding coordinator, the entire staff team is incredible, but there truly has to be a special mention for Anna. The passion Anna has for her job is evident from the moment you first speak to her, she was with us through it all and we couldn’t be more grateful!
Our wedding was a dream from start to finish, the team genuinely make it feel like it’s your home for the whole occasion and look after you with absolute class through every minute - a particular joy for example was being made a baby Guinness within seconds just before walking down the aisle, and tea towel impressively held over my wedding dress to prevent any spills before the big reveal! (immaculate vibes!).
The whole venue is truly immaculate, the time the team put in to the little details is honestly so impressive - our guests couldn’t stop singing Thicket’s praises! - from the legendary pantries perfect for a mid-boogy brew, to exclusive access, and stunning grounds - our guests genuinely haven’t stopped talking about it!!
We can honestly say we’ll reminisce on our wedding at Thicket Priory for the rest of our days, genuinely not a bad word to say about the entire experience. If you’ve viewed Thicket recently, and are thinking about taking the leap and going for it, all we can say is we are so so incredibly glad we did!
Thank you in abundance Thicket Priory team, we’re so grateful to be part of the history!!
Harry & Izzie, Mr & Mrs Hainstock!! Xxx

Easter Wedding Day
We married here on 19th April and what a wedding we had! The venue was outstanding, the atmosphere fabulous and it really was the very best day of our lives. All made possible by the team that works tirelessly for you. Our co-ordinator was Becca and she was amazing. From our very first meeting she was the consummate professional , delivered on every promise and ran the whole weekend seemingly effortlessly, although we're sure it wasn't. We can't thank Becca and the team enough for their support, advice, thoughtfulness and positivity. All our guests were blown away by the experience at Thicket and given half a chance, we'd do it all again! For anyone considering this as their wedding venue, don't hesitate, it will be the best decision you make

Thicket Priory is no ordinary wedding venue - we felt that as soon as we entered the grounds on our first visit! Yes, the building is stunning, the grounds immaculate and every design choice is top notch, but what really makes this place different is the staff.
What you get with Thicket is an in-built coordinator (not a 'venue coordinator' as many venues have, that focus only on the venue's logistics), someone who you can discuss every detail with and who will go the extra mile for you during your stay. We had Rebecca Brayson as our coordinator and not only was she great in the run-up to the wedding, but during our stay there she was like an extra member of the bridal party. She made all our guests feel so welcome, especially our parents & family, she steamed our dresses, made sure we were comfortable, and kept us to time all day including in the morning. I'm not sure how she managed to be so many places at once!
All of the staff at Thicket are so attentive and friendly, and Anna the general manager was another part of the team who made our day run so smoothly.
The bedrooms are beautiful and all of our guests said they had such a comfortable stay. The crisp/neutral design of all the event spaces means you can put your own mark on the space, and it really does feel like its yours for the time you are there.
If you want a place that feels romantic, has traditional touches but with a modern twist, Thicket is your venue.
It truly felt like a fairytale experience and we'll be talking about it for the rest of our lives! -
