Best in the game!

I work in the wedding industry myself and I can honestly say I have never met a wedding coordinator as amazing as Sophie. Her thoughtfulness, attention to detail and attentiveness throughout the process & on the day was phenomenal. The venue itself is BEAUTIFUL!!! Rooted in family history and gives an incredible country feel. Couldn’t recommend this venue anymore! We are so lucky to our wedding memories at The Parkes

Wedding Photographer at The Parkes Estate. Wonderful experience from start to finish at a such elegant venue.

The Parkes Estate is an absolute favourite Wedding Venue to shoot. The style and aesthetic makes for stunning images and such a classic, luxury atmosphere.

Sophie’s attention to detail is superb, not only regarding interior styling but with service to suppliers and the couple getting wed from booking through to the big day.
Sophie provides a function sheet prior to the day covering as much information from the couples final meeting including running order of the day and all personal touches. This bespoke process really aligns suppliers with the couples vision and ensures the day runs seamlessly.

As photographer the venue is a dream. It is situated in the middle of lush countryside and has many spots for group pictures and couples portraits including a first floor balcony, gorgeous surrounding land with a grand willow tree and stunning entrance floors, chandelier’s and staircase.

I would recommend this venue to anyone.

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
