The Moonraker Reviews (4) Write a review Perfect Wedding Venue!! Venue Service By Emma and Chris, on 06 Jun 2019Date of Wedding - 25 May 2019 We would like to say a massive thank you to all of the staff at Moonraker for giving us a perfect wedding day!. The venue is beautiful and we instantly knew it was the venue for us with its rustic, vintage feel and beautiful gardens! I think every one of our guests complimented the venue and there were hundreds of pictures taken by the wisteria which was in full bloom, Mira, Mitch and the rest of the team were amazing on the day, they were so attentive and ensured that everything ran smoothly, we didn't have to do a thing! The food was delicious and catered for all dietary requirements. It was great having exclusivity of the hotel and our family and friends stayed over which was lovely in the morning having a leisurely breakfast with everyone. We looked at a lot of wedding venues in the area and Moonraker has been excellent value for money. We would have no hesitation in recommending Moonraker they gave us our perfect wedding day and we are looking forward to visiting again soon!!Jodie Willcox, Event Manager at The Moonraker responded to this review on 10/06/2019 11:57:05Dear Emma and Chris, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. We are absolutely delighted that you both had the most perfect day at The Moonraker, and your kind words and thanks have been passed on to the whole team. It has been a pleasure working with you both, and we do of course look forward to welcoming you back to The Moonraker in the not too distant future. We wish you lots of love and happiness for the future. A hotel with a heart Venue Service By Katie Steed, on 13 Jun 2015It was love at first sight for The Moonraker Hotel, and as soon as we stepped through the doors we knew it was the wedding venue for us. Stacey and her team did a wonderful job at understanding our needs and going out of their way to meet them. We have enjoyed watching the hotel develop its own personality under its new ownership in the lead up to our wedding, which only added to the excitement. The hotel was completely 'us' in every way, from the eco-conscious mentality and delicious menus, to the vintage fittings, picturesque surroundings and quintessentially English aesthetics. We loved the tiny details, such as the kitchen garden, smoke-house and bee hives. The day itself was exactly as we had envisaged it, and the staff were extremely attentive throughout. We felt like royalty, and didn't need to worry about a single thing! We realised more and more that we had chosen the perfect venue for us. We stayed in the hotel for 2 nights, the second night we had exclusivity and only our guests stayed over. It was a wonderful experience, waking up the next day and enjoying a leisurely breakfast with our friends and family. Special thanks to Matthew and his kitchen staff for all the DELICIOUS food. As two big foodies, the wedding feast was always going to be a very important part of the day, and in fact it exceeded our expectations. We take away so many special memories of the Moonraker, and hope to revisit again and again to see how it develops. Katie and Steve (married on 25.04.2015)Perfect day Venue Service By Vivki, on 09 May 2014I would just like to say a BIG THANK YOU to all involved on making our dream day run effortlessly. I cant begin to imagine what went on behind the scenes but we are most grateful! I don't know where to start with names but in particular Stacey, Ryan and Claudia, along with all the other on hand staff! Matthew and all the kitchen staff excelled themselves with the food, there were a lot of compliments. I have no hesitation in recommending The Old Manor in the future and am happy to leave reviews where necessary.
