"We just wanted to email to say thank you so much for all of your help with planning our wedding. We had the perfect day and it wouldn’t have been possible without you guys.
Lots of the guests were complimenting the venue, the food and the great service as well.
Please pass on this thank you to Emma, Claire, Ollie and the rest of the team who were working on the day.
Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much, and I can assure you we and all our guests absolutely loved the whole experience at Great House Lodge, from start to finish everything was perfect, I don’t think we would have changed anything, the lodge was immaculate, the table layout, service and food. We were very confident in your team.
I would like to pay special attention to Corrina, Ami and Ollie who were so good from start to finish! You made our day very smooth and coordinated, and were there to help at all times, and of course also the service (food/bar) staff who were impeccable and very polite and friendly.
Overall - the setup of the lodge was great, it worked perfectly for us, with plenty of space for our guests to move around and talk to each other as well as have a dance later on, the outside space was great.
The food was really good, I remember how so many people were saying how good the food was, how well it was cooked and tasted, even Marianna and I realised it was even better than the menu tasting.
We loved the Riverview suite room, it is stunning. Overall the whole experience was magical, we look forward to coming back soon and seeing the staff and expressing our thanks personally.
Thanks again, for us and our guests it was truly a day to remember.
Amazing day, amazing venue and amazing food!

Your team were completely amazing! Everything went so well. With all of the elements we'd planned for the day I'm sure it was pretty complicated for the team and that there were lots of firsts for them in there in terms of planning but it was amazing.
The staff were totally brilliant. The coordination was fantastic, such professional and helpful attitudes and everyone had a smile on their face despite the 30degree heat! We never needed to remind anyone of anything, they were already on top of every detail.
The Lamb - what can we say!!! As Jonathan has said to me about seven times since Saturday - how the chef managed to get around 80 portions of perfect pink lamb out of the kitchen like that we will never know. Amazing and the guests raved about the food.
The breakfast on Sunday was superb. The spread was even better than we expected and it gave everyone the time to regroup, remember the day and say goodbye properly. Again the team, despite the late night, were on top of every detail.
The hog roast and boat trips went down a treat, everyone raved about them in fact all our guests repeatedly said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to.
Outstanding memories of our wedding day

We want to say a massive thank you to your team in allowing us the space and creative freedom to say yes to every crazy idea that I came up with for our wedding. Guests are still talking about it, saying it is the best wedding they have ever gone to
Corrina has been such an amazing liaison for the Great House Lodge. Communication has been outstanding. Her confidence in what the Great Lodge could offer made the planning process seamless and her connections with those in the local area helped extremely. As soon as I said the reception venue, they instantly knew Corrina and made that stressful situation flow with ease. Her assistance on arranging the helicopter landing was second to none.
Ollie’s assistance negotiating the set-up on the day before was phenomenal. His laid back but pro-active nature was just the right combination my “wedding team” needed. He allowed us to get what we needed done, answer questions clearly and anything that we needed he had already provided it before we had even asked. He was spot on with his knowledge of the resources the Lodge had to offer especially when an idea didn’t actually execute in practicality, he would have a solution.
The Event Manager ran a smooth ship with the waiting staff. Timings were executed to a tee, nobody complained about waiting for dinner. If anything, complements to the chef. He was able to provide a starter alternative to a fussy vegetarian with little hesitation which turned her frown, upside down.
You guys deserve the biggest thanks. The Great House Lodge has provided us with the greatest gift and that is OUTSTANDING MEMORIES of our wedding day!! The team went above and beyond our expectations and for that we say... Thank you!
Absolutely delightful day!

Both Kevin & I were absolutely delighted with our day on the 28th May 2017 from start to finish.
We would like to pay special thanks to the GH Team and in particular Corrina who managed to alleviate our fears from the beginning, she was accommodating in everyway even though as an 'older bride & groom' who had pre-set ideas, which I am sure gave her some nightmares at times, ensured all went smoothly, came up with some great ideas which just worked! She responded to my questions in a timely manner and all in all went beyond our expectations! A wonderful lady.
The Events Manager was superb in every way. He was attentive while remaining discreet. Made us feel special and nothing seemed too much trouble. A superstar! Even my guests commentated saying he was a lovely kind man, very much a professional.
Ollie, a great character, from both behind the bar to operating the music system. A truly friendly and likeable chap!
The waiting staff, who were quiet, unobtrusive and professional.
Our bedroom was fantastic with beautiful views and a lovely touches.
The Events Team you have in place are a great credit to your company and we would not hesitate in recommending the Great House for any forthcoming events!
Well Done to you all!!
The staff genuinely wanted us to have the best day

We had a PERFECT wedding reception at the Great House and highly recommend it to anyone thinking of getting married!!
Corrina helped us plan the wedding, she was highly organised and efficient and responded quickly to numerous emails. She was also very flexible to our specific requirements and I felt at ease on the day confident in the knowledge that everything would go to plan.
All the guests commented on how delicious the food was and how beautiful the venue was. The garden gave us the space to relax and enjoy the activities we had arranged for ourselves and the children, and the bar next to the Ferryman's suite doubled up as the crèche which worked perfectly for us.
So get booking because it really will make a fantastic venue for you!
Thanks to everyone at the Great House for making our day perfect!
Perfect from start to end

From start to finish The Great House were amazing. Everything was organised perfectly and the day went better than we ever imagined. The food was impeccable, everything cooked to perfection.
The venue is set in a gorgeous location and we fell in love with it as soon as we saw it. It definitely exceeded our expectations on the wedding day and we only have the Wedding Planners and all the staff that worked during our wedding to thank for that.
I would recommend the Great House to anyone. Simply stunning!
AMAZING!

We can’t say enough good things about the Great House and the staff who could not have done anymore to make the day run smoothly and the whole thing stress free. The food was outstanding and the venue was beautiful and has a really good comforting yet special feel to it. Anything we asked for was provided without any hassle.
We would like to say a massive thank you to Corrina and Gianluca who were superb and made our day and the lead up to it fantastic!
I would recommend this venue to everyone.
Great venue, excellent location and superb meal.

When searching for the right venue for our Wedding; good food was a high priority. Having eaten at the Great House in the past, it was always a contender.
From the first enquiry, Corrina and the staff at the Great House made organising our Wedding easy and enjoyable. We were made to feel confident that all our needs would be met, which allowed us to relax.
The Wedding day, 31st Aug 2013 flowed perfectly and exceeded our expectations. The food was exceptional and the staff were professional, helpful and friendly throughout. With beautiful sunny weather on the day, the garden was fantastic for guests, children and photographs.
We would highly recommend this venue to anyone planning their wedding.
Our beautiful and perfect day!

8th December 2012. After only giving the Great House 3 weeks notice we managed to get a booking for the 8th December for our special day. In only those 3 weeks Julie and the team took complete control and were wonderful in liaising with us and organising our dream day. The location and venue is absolutely stunning and was just made more perfect by the professional, approachable and organised team working there. Every single guest commented on what a beautiful day it was and how attentive the staff were. The food was absolutely gorgeous and the evening buffet was just as yummy! We’d highly recommend the Great House for anyone looking for a beautiful venue and a stress free day. We couldn’t have asked for anything more and are so grateful to Julie and the team. It's amazing what can be done with 3 weeks notice! Thank you, from Mr & Mrs Harris ;)
The most perfect day!
