May Bank Holiday wedding at The Moat
Amanda and the team thought about every aspect of the day, her management meant everything went seamlessly and we were able to be fully present for every single beautiful moment.
Amanda took time to understand what we wanted, while also helping us to consider things we hadn’t thought about. She was supportive every step of the way, and on the day we couldn’t have asked for more. She was calm, in control and executed every detail perfectly. We were particularly blown away by the event decoration - her and the team made every effort to elevate the day. We couldn’t have been happier.
On a personal note, Amanda’s friendly demeanour was particularly welcome during the milestone moments in the day. We knew we could depend on her to let us know where, when and what was required of us. And she always went the extra mile - making sure we were fed, watered and happy at every spare moment - we couldn’t have asked for more.
The food and drink were fantastic. The family style meal suited us perfectly, and the flexibility with the menu meant it worked for a variety of dietary needs and preferences. We’ve had so many people tell us how good the food was - particularly the marinated chicken thighs!
The staff throughout the day were friendly and accommodating to a wide range of guest needs.
We couldn’t finish the review without mentioning Sky Sounds Disco - Carl was a real gem and helped make sure the whole wedding went by without a hitch. He truly cared about giving us and our guests a good time - and he properly delivered.
We also stayed in The Moat’s on site accommodation. It was stunningly decorated and allowed us to prepare for the wedding and recover in a calm, well equipped environment.
We had a perfect day. Thanks to everyone at The Moat for making it so!
Brilliant wedding reception!
Wedding of our dreams
Our wedding day was amazing, we were able to enjoy our day without having to worry about a thing. Special shout out to the kitchen too - the food was out of this world!
Thank you to everyone at the Moat
Authentic rustic wedding venue
This was a great venue, with a rustic barn and a large tap room. The service during the meal was excellent and we lots of positive comments from our guests about the high quality of the food.
Some minor points:
1. Tea and coffee were to be available in the evening however the bar staff were reluctant to offer this, we had to speak to the wedding coordinator to make this available.
2. The garden space with the pods, where we had some photos had dogs mess on the grass, this meant we had to warn guests. This was not acceptable.
3. The pods were also dirty inside, which was disappointing since the staff knew we were going to use this area for photos and games.
Despite the above we would still highly recommend this venue. We were able to view the venue multiple times. Rebecca was a great co-ordinator and very helpful throughout. We had a very special wedding day.
Great Experience from start to finish
The day ran smoothly and all our guests have complimented us, even a few months on about the venue and food.
The barn, garden and bar suited our needs perfectly, and the team made the whole experience stress free.

Wonderful Venue
Myself and my wife thought our big day was perfect. All the staff and wedding planners made it so perfect and helped in every way possible. Even when we asked for a change in the menu it wasn’t a problem and the food was fantastic.
A day to remember!
If you are considering The Moat for your wedding you will not be disappointed. Amanda and the team will do their utmost to make sure your day is a success.
Sean and I are so grateful for the professionalism and thoughtful attention to every detail of our wedding on 1st June 2024.
Married at The Moat!
This was the first venue we looked at and we knew immediately it was the one. The bar and barn area are gorgeous and the garden, where we had our ‘cocktail hour’ and photos was lovely. Everybody complimented the venue and thoroughly enjoyed the food.
We’d like to give a big shout out to Amanda and Rebecca for being there to answer all of our questions throughout the planning process and Rebecca was fabulous on the day. We didn’t have to think about any of the logistics, she was always right there to tell us what was happening next and when. She ensured we enjoyed our day whilst she made sure everything ran smoothly.
The accommodation was beautiful and very comfortable. It was the perfect space for me to get ready with my bridesmaids on the morning.
We had the most perfect wedding day and The Moat played a huge part in making that possible. Thank you!
The most amazing day!
The barn is absolutely beautiful, the hops and fairy lights come as standard so you really don’t need additional decorations if your on a budget or prefer a beautifully simple look.
The planners are incredible! They make such an effort before the day to get a good grasp of what you as a couple want for your day so on the day itself every details is covered and the day runs so well.
The food is outstanding! We had so many compliments from our guests!
You won’t regret booking here!!
Wonderful venue and staff
