What a fabulous day❤️

Thank you so much for all of your help with our special day! The venue sold itself and the staff at the Monastery were awesome. We could not have planned a better ceremony.

Best day ever

Fabulous. We booked our wedding before the pandemic and were meant to marry on the 1st August 2020. After rescheduling twice (the first time to April 4th 2021), we eventually tied the knot on the 12 February 2022. Nothing was too much for the team at The Monastery to do. Fran was there every step of the way and helped with every query. The day was beautiful - We provided our own table centrepieces and decorations which Fran was happy to set up before our arrival! Every member of the team was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. Requests were carried out right away. We had such a fabulous day, celebrating with family and friends in a stunning building with an amazing team to cater for us. It could not have been more perfect.

The venue is stunning and makes for beautiful pictures. The staff were helpful and responsive. They were flexible with us dropping stuff off, setting up and suppliers!

The staff on the day couldn’t have done more. Everything we asked was done with a smile! Fantastic day!

Mr and mrs Rockhead

We got married 3.7.21 after having to postpone 3 times due to covid and the monastery was fantastic every time even though we were still in covid restrictions on our day the team made it absolutely beautiful and amazing could not fault 1 thing it was still our dream wedding and every single guest commented how beautiful the whe day and the monastery is we had 51 to the day and about 150 for the evening and everything and every detail was amazing to decor and food and even the evening food as we had to do it a little different due to restrictions but I loved it that way like little afternoon tea sets on each table the monastery and there staff definitely went the extra mile for us and we highly recommend we done our own package (added all bits together seperate) and this worked out better in price for us for the numbers we wanted so if the package ain't right for you ask about doing it all separate because we are so glad we did

The ultimate venue

This venue is breathtaking. You can spend very little in terms of decoration because your canvas is so beautiful on its own. The staff are so helpful and well prepared for your day and there was no job too much trouble.
For me this venue gave me the tradition of a spectacular venue with the modern and stylish food and bar. Absolutely stunning

Hi Gaynor,
Lovely to speak to you earlier!
Thank you again so much for all your work and help with the planning. We really were blown away on Saturday and everything surpassed all our expectations. Lots of our guests have been saying not only what an amazing venue it is but also how incredible the food was and how seamless everything was on the day. Please do pass our thanks to all the staff as they were fantastic!
Yes, please do feel free to use any of the images. We are also so pleased with Damian’s photos. He’s certainly very talented and has captured the day amazingly well!
We’ll definitely pop in to see you to thank you in person when we are back from our honeymoon!
Best wishes,
Siobhan and Giuseppe xx

Hi Gaynor,

Honeymoon was great thanks and we are both back to reality which a huge bump ?

I cannot thank you guys at The Monastery enough, the venue, food, staff and of course yourself was amazing from start to finish, anyone that does a job as good as you at keeping me on my toes deserves an award.

Our friends and family are still talking about how amazing the day was. Thank you from the bottom of our heart.
