The Gardens Reviews (28) Write a review Amazing Venue Service By Tisha and Jason, on 21 Nov 2019Date of Wedding - 16 Sep 2019 I would like to give all the staff a really big thank you for making our day so special. It all went amazing and everybody commented how beautiful the venue was.Breathtaking venue Venue Service By Katie and Michael, on 21 Mar 2019Date of Wedding - 16 Mar 2019 From start to finish our day was just perfect! Outstanding service and a breath-taking venue. We would relive the day and not change a thing. Venue Service By Zoe and Jamie, on 21 Mar 2019Date of Wedding - 22 Dec 2018 The Gardens was the most beautiful and perfect location for our wedding and we could not have been happier to have picked it for our special day. The team and everyone who helped out could not have done enough for us and it was clear that it was their main aim to make sure everything went smoothly and ‘just right’. In the lead up to the wedding everything was handled in such an efficient and professional way that we were so much less stressed than we could have been and trusted in all that you were doing. The most picturesque, stunning location for our ceremony which surpassed anything that we could have imagined. We are so grateful to everyone at The Gardens for making our dream wedding a reality and for giving us so many beautiful memories to treasure…and now we just want to do it all over again!We couldnt recommend this venue enough Venue Service By Sammi and Luke, on 18 Mar 2019Date of Wedding - 24 Sep 2018 My husband and I got married here on 24.09.18. We don’t have a single bad word to say. From the minute we walked in the venue, we knew it was the one. The venue speaks for itself but the staff were also incredible from the get go. They were in constant contact with us both during the 9 month planning stage. The food is OUTSTANDING and they catered for some odd requests without question. Everything ran without a hitch on the day. Carrie was excellent and the waitresses and bar staff had great humour and were extremely pleasant. Although we knew the hard work that they put into the day, we barely knew they were there. They weren’t intrusive and went above and beyond to help the wedding party and guests. We both want to say thank you to every single person at The Gardens. Down to the personnel who keep the grounds as beautiful as they are. We couldn’t recommend this venue enough and all our guests were blown away by its beauty.Looks brilliant day and night! Venue Service By Jemma and David, on 21 Mar 2019Date of Wedding - 14 Sep 2018 The gardens was the perfect venue for our wedding day. We loved the great mix of indoor and outdoor spaces. The guests love the uniqueness of the venue. We wanted to create a more relaxed wedding day playing on our love of festivals and the gardens created a brilliant canvas for us to create our own theme. It looks brilliant day and night. We decided to have a BBQ which was delicious and the guests were very complementary about the food. The staff at the gardens offered a very high level of customer service and ensured the day went without a hitch. They were a pleasure to deal with and always happy and smiling.The perfect venue!

A massive Thank you to everyone at the gardensThe perfect setting for our beautiful day Venue Service By Laura and Matt, on 18 Mar 2019Date of Wedding - 19 Jul 2018 Wow, where do I start!? We knew we wanted to get married here as soon as we pulled up on the drive. It had the relaxed vibe we were looking for but the ‘wow factor’ too...and it really didn’t disappoint on the day. All of the staff were incredibly professional and nothing was too much trouble. But even more than that, it felt like they were part of your day and like they really cared. The food was also incredible!! I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Thank you for providing the perfect setting for our beautiful dayThe most wonderful day! Venue Service By Louise and Michael, on 21 Mar 2019Date of Wedding - 11 Jul 2018 The gardens was an amazing venue to get married in. I just wanted to say that the whole team at the venue from the Chef, bar staff, managers were amazing. Such a fantastic team. I had the most wonderful day and so did everyone else who joined us there. Thank you everyone for all your hard work Venue Service By Sam and Andy, on 21 Mar 2019Date of Wedding - 08 Jun 2018 We got married at The Gardens at the start of June and it really was everything we could have hoped for and more! The venue is perfect, the staff are amazing and the food was incredible. When we were originally venue hunting, we didn’t find anywhere that provided the flexibility that The Gardens does – they really want you to have everything exactly as you want it, while also providing a package including catering, dj, etc, that makes the planning so much less stressful! Thank you so much to Carrie and all the team for all of your hard work on the day, we really did have the best time ever thanks to all of you and The Gardens will forever be a special place to us!
