A Fairy tale day

We just wanted to take a minute to say a huge thankyou to everyone in the team for our beautiful ceremonies yesterday. The warmth, the beautiful coordination and all of the hard work to make it all seamless and joyful was so very much appreciated.

It was the most incredible day in every way and thankyou for helping to make that happen. We were in safe hands and everything went like a dream.

Perfect Day!

We honestly can’t thank you enough. The day ran so perfectly and you dressed Goldney and Clifton Hill House exactly how I’d asked, but in my opinion so so much better than I would have done. You genuinely have great creative flair. I was blown away when I stepped inside the Orangery and absolutely LOVED the gift table and bar area - superb. The day was like a fairytale and that is thanks to you. From start to finish is was perfect and stress free, so all credit to you.

I cannot thank you enough.
Very best wishes

A magical venue!

We held our wedding ceremony and reception at Goldney Hall. Both the ceremony and reception went very smoothly. Fosters (the contracted caterers) were absolutely superb! The food was excellent with surprisingly large portions making it great value for money. The grounds are beautiful and our guests enjoyed exploring them. They also provided a fantastic background to our photos. The only problem encountered was that parking was very difficult for our guests (but we should really have expected that, since the venue is in Clifton!).

A truly magical place.

Set in ten acres of formal grounds, Goldney Hall was built in 1714. Features of the gardens are the tower, folly, shell lined grotto, oranamental canal, grand terrace, rotunda and bastion.
The sunny Orangery and panelled Mahongany Parlour overlook the beautiful gardens.
