Perfect for our Wedding REception

We booked our wedding reception at SbN as the price was really decent. From the moment we started planning the staff communicated effectively and made us both feel very at ease. We met with Philippa and Natasha several times whilst planning. They even helped us to find the DJ, makeup artist, hair stylist, photobooth, chair covers ect. Which made planning so much easier.
On the day SbN allowed us to set up during the day at any time we wanted. They even booked a table for everyone helping us to set up. (We obviously had to pay for food, but the booking made life easier). The SbN staff also dealt with the outside suppliers which helped us relax and enjoy our day. I went down to the spa for a makeup match, while down there I discussed many options for my make up, which made me feel very confident. The resulting makeup was amazing (I fell really bad for forgetting her name) but she did a fantastic job.
Natasha also took us and the photographer around the grounds so we could get some stunning photos. The buffet food was delicious and the chefs at SbN understood and catered for the many allergies in the family. Including an allergy to histamines. The only problem is that you cant take any leftovers home.
The whole event was perfect.
The next day they allowed us to use the venue rooms to store our decorations while I spent the day in the spa and my husband spent it playing golf. All members of staff that we passed congratulated us, with all the guests passing through it did make us feel even more special.
We would like the especially thank Philippa, Natasha, Nicole, Jess and Tommy for making the whole event wonderful.
Made my day so special!

We chose to get married at Stoke by Nayland because of the amazing views but they gave us so much more. Communication throughout the wedding planning was amazing. There was always someone at the end of an email to answer my never ending questions!!
From the moment I arrived the night before, to the minute I left the day after. The members of staff went above and beyond to ensure that we had the most special day. Every guest commented on how friendly and helpful the staff were and I agree whole heartedly. They were fun and professional at the same time. I wish I could do it all over again just to meet the staff again. Nothing was too much trouble. For example my three year old doesn’t use a booster seat. But typically on the day she wanted a cushion, within minutes a member of staff brought one over.
My husband and I went for the food tasting before hand and knew how delicious the food was. However, it was always a concern if it would be the same quality when cooking for so many guests, but it was even better if that was possible!! Again, every single guest commented on how gorgeous the food was.
Natasha, the duty manager, took us for a ride in the golf buggy to the lake to have photos taken. It was sooooo much fun and one of the best parts of the day.
I couldn’t have asked for a better day and have no regrets about putting my faith in Stoke by Nayland to host our wedding. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
A special mention to Phillipa, my wedding planner, Natasha, Simon and Belle who ran the day and made me feel special.

We had an amazing time getting married at Stoke by Nayland. The venue has stunning views over the golf course and we got to have photos by the lake on the 10th hole. The staff were all very accommodating with our requests and nothing seemed too much trouble. Food was delicious and brought out hot and swiftly.
Would highly recommend.
February wedding

By Martha and Jonny Grover, on 11 Mar 2018Date of Wedding - 17 Feb 2018
After a church ceremony, we had our afternoon and evening celebration at Stoke-by-Nayland Golf Club. It was absolutely everything we could have hoped for! Katie and Philippa helped us with our many questions and made sure all preparations were in place for the day to run like a dream. They went above and beyond to ensure that all of the details we wanted to include could be incorporated. They were consistently available via email and phone, which helped us to feel calm as we went into the day, knowing that they had taken care of everything.
On the day itself, Natasha was in charge and made sure that everything happened in a timely and very professional way. The reception room looked absolutely stunning, with plenty of room for people to relax, dance, and chat. The food was amazing, and we are so grateful to the chefs who accommodated for a wide range of dietary needs, without making it feel like an inconvenience.
When we went to our bedroom after the evening came to a close, the staff had arranged for flowers and bubbly, as well as all of our presents to be delivered to the room, which was a very special end to the day. Our guests were able to continue chatting and relaxing in the bar. The reception team were very helpful, ensuring that taxis were ordered and guests left safely.
We would unreservedly recommend the Golf Club as a reception venue. The kind staff, beautiful setting and attention to detail were more than we could have hoped for, and the day went without any fault. Thank you so much for making our wedding so special.
Simply Amazing!!!!

I cannot rate the team and venue at SbN highly enough!!
The venue is able to cater for all your needs and is set in some pretty stunning grounds.
We had a smaller wedding so used the Garden and Gainsborough rooms. It was lovely being able to have the separate rooms which meant we could leave our dinner tables with their Centre pieces throughout the evening.
And then there were ALL the staff, every memeber of staff we dealt with in the planning, lead up to and on the day we’re exceptional. Our wedding planner was wonderful and attentive. Our duty manager on the day was superb and their teams were all amazing.
They all went above and beyond their call to assist you.
Lots of us stayed the night too and they have a hotel bar which stays open as long as guests were there, we loved this and ended up being in bar area until gone 2am!!
We had an absolutley wonderful reception with Stoke By Nayland.
I highly recommend them!!
Amazing from start to finish

Well what can i say who wouldnt want to get married at the stoke by nayland not only are the views spectacular, the venue rooms are beautiful and the staff are amazing who go beyond the call of duty to make your day so special. All staff are more than lovely so easy to speak to and guide you through every part of your day step by step.

Our wedding manager Mel was just as amazing making the whole day so special for us and using our decorations to make the whole place look beautiful, our guests said nothing but positive comments on the whole day.

Where to begin .. it's all gone so fast but what an absolutely wonderful experience it has been. Katie our wedding coordinator was brilliant from start to finish. Initial enquiry right up to planning the details and contact for the big day..reception team where great always in contact regarding rooms etc. The day itself went so smoothly being run by the duty manager Harley, who I must say not having worked for the hotel long is an absolute credit. Nothing was too much trouble from rearranging and fluffing up my dress holding my flowers to even dancing with my 5 year old son and his cousins. Harley and the team on the day were absolutely fantastic so welcoming and really were a great part of our wedding. It really is a fantastic venue and we cant wait to return for a spa day afternoon tea and our anniversaries. Thank you ever so much to you all at Stoke By Nayland Hotel Golf And Spa from the new Mr and Mrs Moody xx

Where do we begin?! From the moment we first went to stoke by Nayland to look at the open wedding day, we both knew it was the place we wanted to get married, it was also the first place we visited but we knew straight away. The staff were extremely helpful, our wedding planner Katie Whittaker was always there if I needed any questions answering. We had our wedding on Friday 11th August 2107 & it was amazing. Our wedding planner on the day Mel was brilliant, we couldn't recommend stoke by Nayland enough! We shall be back to celebrate our first wedding anniversary next year & we already can't wait! The small little touches we had was amazing too.
Our wedding at Stoke By Nayland

By Sarah & Jason, on 09 Aug 2017Date of Wedding - 04 Aug 2017
We had our wedding at Stoke By Nayland last weekend and it really was the best day of our lives! From start to finish, the staff couldn't do more for us, the day ran so smoothly and Becky, who ran the day, was always around if we needed anything. We didn't have to worry about a thing! All our guests had a fantastic time, enjoyed the food and, as many of them stayed over, the hotel booked us a private room the next day for breakfast which was great! We really can't thank Katie, Becky and their team enough!

By Mr & Mrs Tymms, on 10 Aug 2017Date of Wedding - 03 Aug 2017
We got married at this hotel a week ago today and we literally cannot fault it. We looked at many venues and struggled to find one that was flexible without us incurring any extra costs. Stoke by Nayland were fantastic in accommodating all of our needs. The whole lead up and day went incredibly smoothly. A beautiful venue with an above attentive team. We had endless compliments from all our guests on the food and accommodation. We can't wait to go back for our first anniversary!
