Reviews for Tall John's House
Beautifully perfect for a whole wedding weekend!!
Having not had a big wedding in our family we may not have been the most prepared however, Archie (the boss trouble shooter on site) managed to field all queries seemingly without breaking a sweat! In the run up to the weekend, Liza was fabulous at responding to emails and clarifying details to ensure all went as smoothly as possible. Ken, chef for the smaller family meals, received many compliments for his lovely manner and managing such a tasty breakfast for so many people!
Our plan A was to be married on the lawn, but it ended up raining in July, so Archie was great at supporting the move to the Granary and facilitated me checking out the set up on the wedding morning. It was cozy and didn’t need any additional decoration being a lovely well-kept building. We then had our drinks reception in the Granary and the outside covered courtyard with the main dinner and dance on the barn. We loved having the different areas to work with and felt it facilitated a nice flow of the day. The barn was a perfect place for a lively barn dance! We have some amazing pictures!
Ed and I would highly recommend Tall John’s for weddings, or any big gathering! Family and friends have come away with plenty of fantastic memories and praise for the venue.
Incredible blank canvas venue
Wedding of our dreams ✨
The whole planning process was a dream- Liza was so helpful and relaxed throughout. The place was so flexible with your plans, and the whole experience was stress free. Even with some last minute changes that were out of our control, Tall John’s staff were understanding and reassuring, and everything went so smoothly.
Archie was great and very attentive throughout, and was there during the day for us and our guests if we needed anything, which was a great help too!
The fact that the place is exclusive for the weekend of your wedding made it such a personal and relaxed place to be. We could make the weekend exactly how we wanted it to be! Ken cooked a lovely meal for us and the immediate wedding party the night before the wedding, and nothing was too much trouble! It was a lovely way to spend the night before the big day once we had finished decorating, and we really enjoyed ourselves.
We got married in the main barn, and had our drinks reception in the Granary, with the reception then back in the main barn, as it was during the Winter. The main barn was so beautiful, and looked even better than I ever could have dreamed of! Everyone loved the Granary too- and were loving the secret room with the pool table! We had some lovely photos and videos in the grounds too.
We used the Dr’s Orders bar for the evening, which Archie and Sophie provide. They were so lovely to plan with, and they were fab on the night- everyone commented on how friendly they were, with a great selection of (very reasonably priced!) drinks.
The cottages were spotless and such a lovely place to stay. Our guests stayed in the cottages, stables and Manor House-many said to us afterwards the the beds were the comfiest they had ever slept in, and were full of praise for the breakfast the next morning, which was a lovely way to end the weekend. Our only regret is that we didn’t book another night to relax for the day after the wedding.
I honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough. My husband and I, as well as all of our guests had the most fantastic weekend, and are so grateful to Liza and all the team for truly making this the best weekend ever!
Wonderful wedding weekend
