Venue Service

We got married here yesterday, having planned our wedding on a 12 week turnaround. This would have been an absolute nightmare at other venues, but here so much is taken care of for you, there's literally been nothing to worry about. This was the most personal wedding, with everything being planned around our wants and nothing being too much trouble. I'm the fussiest person I've ever met but Sharron literally bent over backwards to make sure we were happy at every stage. The only disappointment for me was that we couldn't have our chosen DJs, but everything which was within Sharron control was flawless. The food was impeccable, we opted for the carvery and every guest raved about it! Our wedding photographer even told us that the food was the best he's ever eaten at a wedding, which isn't bad going when he's been to thousands! There's also a lot to be said for going with a smaller independent venue like here, exclusive use is a given due to the size, but what I also really appreciated was that they were able to give us that exclusive use from lunchtime the day before. This time meant that I was able to make last minute changes to the table arrangements so I was completely happy, decorate the venue exactly how I wanted and even do my own flowers. I was literally tying my own bouquets, buttonhole and table flowers on their conservatory floor, while our families covered the room in balloons banners and candles. Having this freedom meant everything was exactly how I wanted it, and it also saved us thousands, especially in terms of the flowers. I would recommend here to anyone getting married, it's just the most stunning place in every way.
