Wonderful Wedding!


We cannot thank The Freston Boot enough for making our wedding day so special and truly perfect. The accredited setting is absolutely stunning and provided the most beautiful and memorable backdrop for our celebration. The setting truly speaks for itself and added something magical to our day.

From our very first enquiry, through booking, and on the wedding day itself, every single member of staff was incredibly attentive, professional, and genuinely caring. We are so grateful for the advice, patience, and reassurance given throughout the process, especially with our many questions and changes along the way. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything reflected our hopes and wishes.

A huge compliment must go to the chefs for the delicious two-course dinner and the fantastic buffet food, which was enjoyed by all of our guests. Everything was beautifully prepared and full of flavour.

We were also delighted to have the privacy of the tent, which was cozy, intimate, and the perfect setting for our small wedding party. It created exactly the warm and personal atmosphere we had hoped for.

Our massive thanks go to every single member of staff for their hard work, kindness, and dedication. We give The Freston Boot our highest recommendation to any couple looking for a cozy, small, and truly special wedding venue. Thank you for making our day unforgettable.

Summer festival wedding

We got married in July 2025 having booked it 2 years prior. When we booked they weren’t a well known wedding venue so it made me slightly nervous but there was nothing to worry about at all!! Our day was absolutely perfect and that was all down to Mary and the events team who ran and organised the day exactly how we wanted it. We wanted something slightly different on the menu and that was never a problem. Communication was great throughout and were always on hand to answer questions. They helped us set up and pack away and the food was some of the best we’ve had, with some amazing reviews from our guests. The ports toilets were amazing - so clean and accessible. All staff were great with the service and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Boot as a venue! Plus if you can manage to book the beautiful air bnb just accross the road it makes for a perfect wedding set up!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
