The most wonderful day

From start to finish the entire process was top notch! From viewing the venue and booking, to the planning meetings and all the way up to our big day - Slater’s were amazing! Not only is it an amazing venue to get married at with beautiful scenery, Gemma our dedicated wedding planner made sure our day ran smoothly and was there to help wherever she could (even when getting mountains of confetti out of my dress and hair lol). We had the most chilled and relaxed day and that was 100% down to Gemma. Whenever we had any questions throughout the planning stages, she always answered promptly and professionally. She was a huge help in every aspect. The food is out of this world! Even now a few weeks after our wedding day, our guests are still mentioning how nice the catering was. The tiger prawns and arancini canapés were a huge hit and the BBQ buffet was just incredible. It just smashed all expectations. Genuinely cannot recommend this place enough to people. We are so so happy we chose Slaters and wouldn’t have changed a thing.

Our Wedding

We had our wedding at Slaters in May 2025. We booked the venue in 2022, knowing straight away it was everything we wanted. From the very competitive pricing, to the intimate, country setting and the amazing team. Throughout that time, I had contact with the venue, with meetings more frequent as we got closer to the wedding. Nothing was too much trouble for Gemma and her team. All my questions were answered in great time, either via email or phone. On the day, Gemma was INCREDIBLE. Her professionalism and calming nature made everything seem so effortless, I didn't need to worry about a thing.
It's 100% recommended by us, get booked in! You won't regret it :)

The perfect wedding day

From start to finish the service from Slaters has been impeccable.
From initial viewings, to booking, planning meetings, communication, and most importantly our wedding day itself, Slaters have been brilliant in every aspect. All queries we had were answered promptly and the day ran so smoothly.
Everyone knew where they needed to be and when but at no point did we feel rushed or pressured. It was just a lovely experience all round.
We would highly recommend Slaters to any engaged couples who are still seeking their perfect venue; you won't be disappointed!

Incredible!

Myself, and my now husband got married at Slaters 10 days ago and honestly, we cannot thank the whole team enough! Gemma and Lucy made sure our day runned smoothly, credits to the chef and their team as everyone is still now saying how nice the wedding breakfast was.

From start to finish, Slaters have been fantastic. From the viewing of the venue, to the 1000 emails I would send with new questions or changes and even down to the after service of congradulating us. Incredible!

Thank you to you all at Slaters Country Inn - you made our day so wonderful!

Grooms, grooms and grooms!

This is thee shop for all grooms!

Prices are incredible, especially if you decide to buy. We managed to purchase 7 three-piece men's suits, all different sizes and matched! Not only that, we were able to purchase a child's suit that also matched!

Their free alterations on suits also help! Overall, the staff here were super helpful and the quality of the suits are outstanding. They all also fit perfectly!

This shop is a grooms heaven!

Incredible Wedding Day

We had an absolutely amazing day at Slaters back in August. From the very start of viewing the venue 18 months ago to checking out the day after the wedding we couldn’t fault a single thing. Julie Lewis is a fantastic wedding coordinator who knows exactly what she is doing, no question was too silly. Along with a great team who were extremely polite and professional. Food was fantastic and complimented by a lot of our guests. The dressing room is a perfect space with a gorgeous mirror to get ready in. The day ran perfect, thanks to Slaters. Accommodation was comfortable (just a little outdated) and breakfast looked fab, enjoyed by our guests staying over. Thank you Slaters for our perfect wedding day 🤍

Perfection

Our wedding at Slaters was everything we had hoped for. We had a twilight wedding, it was so relaxed and enjoyable without missing out on the special parts (speech/cake/dance). The team made everything easy. The staff on the day were fabulous. Julie the wedding co-ordinator was so responsive to all my worries and all my requests even last minute ones!! The food was so good all of our guests enjoyed it. Couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day. Thank you all so much!!!

A Truly Magical Venue and wedding team

From start to finish the venue was perfect, very organised, professional and coped amazingly with my many Questions and calls no matter what the time.
Staff we so amazing and on the day everything ran like clock work. Julie even help my photographer to sort out my dress so it wasn't twisted around the wedding car and greeted us with prosecco on our arrival from the church. Also food at all stages was put up for us because we missed all but the main meal due to drinking,chatting and enjoying our special day.
Julie even ensured they bought desperados as it is my husbands fav drink but they don't normally sell it.
Everything was magical and we felt so at home from the start to the breakfast the next day. PS defo recommend paying for the sparkle white back drop £90 extra but made all the difference to pictures and we only added this at last minute.

The withingtons

Slaters were more than accommodating , both Julie’s were approachable, friendly and efficient . The food was great. The bar staff and servers were very friendly and welcoming, exactly what you’d want when it’s your day and you may be anxious . Slaters broke the mould at our wedding and allowed us to be the first to have alpacas there so we are very grateful . Thanks to all the team

Amazing Day ❤️

We got married here July 24th. The whole process from booking & until the day was a smooth process. Special mention goes to Julie Lewis who was informative, helpful & professional all in friendly manner. We would 100% recommend Slaters for the friendly, intimate & exclusive venue. On the day they let us choose right up & until the very last minute (due to the weather) to have our dream garden outside wedding. The food was amazing & the staff throughout the day worked extremely hard & nothing was as issue. Just wish we could relive it all over again.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
