That Amazing Place Reviews (56) Write a review We had the most wonderful of days Venue Service By Amy and Terry, on 17 Oct 2019Date of Wedding - 30 Aug 2019 Sorry we haven’t been in touch before now, we jetted straight off on our honeymoon and are finally able to sit down and go back over what an amazing day last Friday was, without me getting emotional and crying, yet again!! We had the most wonderful of days and wouldn’t have changed a thing. You were so helpful throughout the whole lead up and even more so on the day. It definitely wouldn’t have gone as smoothly as it did without you! Paul & Jane were so accommodating as well, especially letting me and my bridesmaids stay the night before. We’re so grateful to them, for opening up their beautiful house and letting us practically do what we wanted to make our day exactly as we wanted! It’s so hard to put into words how perfect the day was - all I can do, is say thank you, for making the day what it was. We wish we could do it all over again!!The Venue is truly incredible! Venue Service By Lawrence & Amy Gatier!, on 17 Oct 2019Date of Wedding - 09 Aug 2019 We wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to you and Paul for the amazing jobs you did when looking after us on our wedding day and the 2 year run up to it. It couldn’t have been possible without you! From the very first visit we made at TAP you have been on hand to help with every little detail, no matter how big or how small. You made planning a wedding so much easier, smoother and stress free. The venue is truly incredible, unique and beautifully designed and decorated. As soon as we saw it we knew we would get married at TAP! Every visit we made before the wedding Paul and Jane were extremely attentive to all our needs and made us feel like we were at home which confirmed why we choose the venue in the first place! We would not hesitate to recommend That Amazing Place, to any future couples wanted to tie the knot, or for friends looking for a cosy, comfortable stay! Thank you again soo much to you and the team we hope to see you again soon!THE MOST AMAZING DAY EVER! Venue Service By Sam & Andy, on 17 Oct 2019Date of Wedding - 03 Aug 2019 First things first, our day would not have been possible without the incredible wedding planner Angie. Even before the wedding day she was always on hand to reply swiftly to any emails we sent, no matter the time of day or how silly the question. We were never told NO about any of our ideas for the wedding, she only helped us to fulfil every idea and make it a reality. The setup of the house and marquee was magical and looked absolutely stunning. We couldn’t have asked for anything more! The whole day ran very smoothly, and we didn’t feel rushed once which meant that we could take in the day and even the guests commented on how relaxed they felt. Our next big thank you has to go to Paul and Jane for letting us use your incredible, breath-taking house and grounds for our special day. All of our guests that stayed loved how modern and stylish their rooms were and how much space they had. Although we didn’t spend much time in our Bridal cottage it was absolutely gorgeous and was the perfect location to get away and spend some time on our own after a day filled with guests. At the end of the night Paul went out of his way to set us (and our staying guests) up a few drinks in the cosy lounge with some music and this made the perfect end to a COMPLETELY PERFECT DAY! We weren’t rushed at all in the morning to check out and leave, and everyone enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. This gave us plenty of time to pack up and say goodbye to guests properly. If we could, we would love to do the day all over again, as this truly was the best day of our lives!It exceeded our expectations! Venue Service By Natalie & Matthew, on 17 Oct 2019Date of Wedding - 06 Jul 2019 To say it exceeded what were already very high expectations would be an understatement. We fell in love with the venue from our first visit and more so every time we came back before the big day. From day one, Angie was calm, thorough and professional. Nothing was too much trouble and all help was delivered with a laugh and a smile, especially on the big day where she looked after everything behind the scenes and ensured it went without a hitch. The venue itself was so beautiful that we only brought the bare minimum in decorations with us as there was little we could improve on. We also met owner Paul shortly before the wedding who couldn’t do enough for us, making sure all the guests were happy, checking in regularly on us and giving us free reign of his beautiful home. He even set us up with an impromptu after party for us and our stay over guests once the bulk had left to top off an already amazing day. Big shout out to the most handsome retriever Alfie as well who made multiple appearances throughout the day! All in all, we wouldn’t change a thing. All the recommended suppliers were faultless and no other venue we considered felt so welcoming, homely and special. Not just in its stunning grounds with its gorgeous duck-filled lake and beautiful scenery or immaculately kept interiors, but in the people who are there to care for it and us on our special day. Money can’t buy the support and care Angie, Paul and the whole team put into their work and we will be forever grateful. There is a reason That Amazing Place has near-faultless reviews and we found out why on 6th July. Thank you!!No other place could compare. Venue Service By Ben and Megan, on 19 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 24 May 2019 Ben and I booked That Amazing Place just over two years ago for our wedding that took place on the 24th May 2019. This venue was the first and only venue we viewed as we instantly fell in love with it and felt in our hearts that no other place could compare. The house, the grounds and the interior are absolutely stunning, well maintained and so tastefully done along with the brand new marquee which is the best we have seen. It is a complete breath of fresh air in comparison to the usual types of wedding venue with the light airy spaces and modern feel. It goes without complete hesitation to say the wonderful Angie, the venue’s co-ordinator, made everything run so smoothly from initially booking the venue to the very end of our wedding day, as well as making the planning stages so enjoyable, organised & completely stress free. We simply can’t thank Angie and all of the staff enough for maintaining such a relaxed atmosphere and timing everything to perfection. Ben & I must also extend a very special thank you to Paul and Jayne (who own the venue), who are both the most incredible hosts, along with their family, who made every single guest feel so very welcome and looked after, with nothing being too much trouble at all. We both agree that this was a huge factor in making That Amazing Place so special. We are just so pleased that we chose That Amazing Place, everything about it is so personable and ever since we have not stopped smiling and reflecting on how perfect our day was.We want to do it all over again Venue Service By Chloe and Ben, on 19 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 04 May 2019 We had the most amazing day on Saturday and want to do it all over again. We’re still on a high and cannot thank you enough for all of your help throughout the run up to the big day and on the day itself. You were an absolute pleasure to work with. Please also pass on our thanks to Paul and Jayne for everything they did for us. The house is beautiful and we received so many compliments on the day. Thanks so, so, much and I hope we get to see you again sometime in the future! With all our love,The venue is simply beautiful inside and out. Venue Service By Sophie and Daniel, on 19 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 03 May 2019 We got married at That Amazing Place (TAP) last Friday (03.05.19) and it really was the best day of our lives. The venue is simply beautiful inside and out. The layout of the house worked perfectly for us to get married, have our yummy meal and party all under one roof. It especially work well in the evening to have different rooms as it means guests could sit and talk, while others could dance the night away. I was lucky enough to stay at TAP the night before the wedding in the bridal suite the cottage is stunning, the bed was huge, so comfortable and breakfast was delicious. Paul was so welcoming on every visit to TAP making us feel at home and giving us access the night before to bring in all our decorations helping us to relax. Angie is so kind, calm and her advice and help planning our special day throughout the 18 months has been more than we could of ever imagined, we are so grateful for creating our perfect day. The venue really is amazing, living up to its name and Thank you to Paul, Angie and all the team at TAP for making our day run so smoothly, we are over the moon with how the day went.It really was Amazing!! Venue Service By Hannah and Jamie, on 19 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 20 Apr 2019 It is the day after our wedding at That Amazing Place and we cannot stop smiling! The whole experience was wonderful from start to finish! The fact that we are writing this review only a day after our wedding is testimony to how much we want everyone to know what a fantastic venue this is! We had the venue the night before with friends and family and wow what a start to the wedding weekend! Paul and his lovely wife made us feel welcome straight away and went out of their way to makesure we all felt at home! They left us to it but were always on hand to help with anything we needed! The weekend really was all about the experience of the guests and we felt at home straight away! Angie and her wonderful team made sure the wedding went off without any issues! Everything was so smooth and timed to perfection! Angie keeps everyone calm and you just feel so relaxed knowing your in safe hands! The hard work going on behind the scene needs to be applauded! Special mention also to Lizzie and her team from Magpie Catering who were fabulous and the food was delicious! We keep saying how perfect the day was and how we wish we could do it all again! The team at That Amazing Place really strive to make sure the guests leave with huge smiles on their faces! And we are beaming! That Amazing Place should also be called that unique place, as nowhere else has ever made us feel so welcome and at home! A million thanks ! And also the dogs were amazing! ??loved the visit from Alfie on my wedding Morning! Thanks again! It really was Amazing!!We couldnt recommend this venue highly enough Venue Service By Hayley and Ian, on 19 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 18 Apr 2019 We held our wedding at That Amazing Place in April 2019 and couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough. The owners, Paul and Jayne, were extremely accommodating and so lovely. Angie, the wedding co-ordinator, was efficient and so helpful throughout the planning process and on the wedding day itself. We married outside by the lake (we were so lucky with the weather at Easter), the wedding breakfast was held in the gorgeous new marquee and the evening reception was in the main hall – all areas of the venue were so beautifully decorated and looked immaculate. The bridal cottage was also a perfect setting for getting ready during the day. This venue and all the staff involved really made our wedding day flow so beautifully and feel so special. We’re so happy we chose That Amazing Place.I can not recommend it enough! Venue Service By Leighann & Mark, on 29 Nov 2018Date of Wedding - 03 Nov 2018 Dear Angie We can not thank you and your team enough You made our wedding completely stress free We had a truly fantastic day, you Magpie caterers and Paul really go above and beyond to make everything go smoothly It really is an Amazing Place we will definitely be returning too I can not recommend it enough Thank you again Lots of loveIt lives up to its name on every level!! Venue Service By Rachel & Charlie, on 29 Nov 2018Date of Wedding - 22 Oct 2018 From the moment we set eyes on That Amazing Place we knew that this was the venue we wanted to get married in.

The addition of the ground floor room meant our grandparents were able to stay the night of the wedding (which made it that bit more ‘amazing’) and the bridal cottage is beautiful! All the rooms were clean and comfortable with great facilities. The breakfast the following morning was delicious and all dietary requirements catered for, no issue! All of our guests were overjoyed with their stay!
