Venue Service By Andrew and Helen Peach, April 2010, on 22 Nov 2010As we live only 3 miles from Sandon Hall it meant so much to us that we could have our reception there.

A number of guests commented on how welcoming the staff were - everything seemed to run seamlessly. Ann and Margaret had a great understanding of what we were hoping for. Unfortunately, due to the volcanic eruption, a number of guests were unable to attend the wedding. This led to last minute alterations to both the room layout and the catering arrangements, which were easily dealt with by all members of staff. Thank you for helping to make our day so special.
