Getting married in 2020...no chance! So we thought!
We feel extremely lucky to have been able to say ‘I Do’ this year and what a fabulous day it was.
Our wedding at The Bridge was the most perfect day! Everything from staying the night before, to the morning after was just amazing. So much so we’d love to do it all again, we couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Both myself & my husband are big foodies, so making sure we had decent food, was a big must & oh my...it was just incredible! We celebrated with our closet family & friends, eating the most delicious food & drinking fabulous wine.
We can’t thank Megan, Holly, Gareth & their team enough. Especially when we brought our wedding forward two weeks, with only 5 days notice due to the ever-changing rules and restrictions we’ve all had to live with this year.
Every single person at our wedding felt the over whelming amount of friendliness that The Bridge staff offer, no ask, was too much trouble.
The Bridge will now & always be a very special place to us & we can’t wait to be able to see everyone again soon.
Love & Hugs
Mr & Mrs Walsh. X

With just TWO weeks to go The Bridge came to the rescue!
Throughout 2020 we were adamant that our wedding would go ahead, in whatever shape or form Boris would allow .
With just two weeks to go we found ourselves looking for a new wedding reception (don't ask!) and that was when we came across The Bridge. Nothing was too much of an ask in the run up to the day and on the day itself. Megan at The Bridge did everything she could to help make the whole process as easy and as stress free as possible for us.
Our 15 person wedding reception in The Riverside suite was just amazing. From the way Megan dressed the room, the fabulous food and the great service, we had just the best day. All those in attendance on the day also commented on how lovely the food was and how perfect the venue was.
We can't thank the team at The Bridge enough for making our day just amazing. A special shout out to Luis who managed our reception on the day, with my endless requests for expresso martinis and gin and tonics never being too much of an ask!
We can't wait to be able to return again soon.
Love from the Pecks :-)

Unforgettable!!!
From the moment we chose to have our reception at the The Bridge we were treated exceptionally! Nothing was too much trouble.... the Bollin Room where we had our meal was beautiful and Meghan and Holly went above and Beyond for all our guests. I look back now and still cannot believe how perfect our day was... from Holly remembering my favourite wine and Meghan bringing me much needed Prosecco (bridezilla moment necessary) I just wish we could do it again.
My guests still comment on how perfect it was from the food.... presentation and atmosphere! We cannot wait to return again soon!
Thank you so much
Love the Ratcliffe’s 💙
