The Potters Heron Reviews (20) Write a review Best Experience Venue Service By Penny and Sam, on 25 Mar 2019Date of Wedding - 16 Feb 2019 We just wanted to write to you and thank you for all of your and your teams work with us. We had the best experience from start to finish and couldn’t have asked for a more lovelier group of people to help us with our wedding. As soon as we visited The Potters Heron we knew it was the right place for us to start our married life together, it’s been more than a perfect experience from helping us with all our queries to letting us have Alpaca on the day! The food was absolutely delightful and the atmosphere was incredible all the way through the day and into the evening. Our family and friends have all said how much they enjoyed everything and will be coming back for a visit soon I should imagine, as will we.HUGE THANK YOU Venue Service By Kay and Ian Johnson, on 23 May 2017Date of Wedding - 06 May 2017 Just a note to say a HUGE THANK YOU for making Ben and Rachel's wedding such a success on Saturday. All the guests said the food was amazing, best they'd had at a wedding, and the atmosphere lovely and friendly. Jean was great and enabled the day to run so smoothly - Thank youA big thank you Venue Service By Mr and Mrs P Collings, on 23 May 2017Date of Wedding - 29 Apr 2017 Just a note to say a big thank you to all your staff in helping Kay and I celebrate our wedding at the Potters Heron. They were all first class from the time we arrived on Friday evening to set up, through the ceremony and the excellent wedding breakfast, the MC was superb and the following celebrations, just amazing. And to you of course for making it all go like clockwork from our first meeting many months ago. Very professional throughoutThe day was everything we could have hoped for Venue Service By Mr and Mrs Franklin, on 26 Sep 2016Date of Wedding - 09 Sep 2016 Hi Nina Now that things have settled down a bit for us I just wanted to send you a message to say a big thank you for making our special day so wonderful. Everyone at the hotel was absolutely brilliant from yourself helping us organise things, John keeping things running smoothly on the day, the ladies at reception being so very helpful and friendly and the bar and waiting staff being lovely and even having a dance behind the bar at the end of the night which was nice to see (working in the industry ourselves we know that it's not always easy to stay happy and perky all of the time)! Please also give our thanks to the chefs, everyone has told us how fabulous the food was and we couldn't agree with them more! The day was everything we could have possibly hoped for and we have taken away the happiest memories. Best wishes Mr & Mrs Franklin!A well organised, happy and memorable occasion Venue Service By Mr and Mrs Best, on 14 Jul 2016Date of Wedding - 09 Jul 2016 Our Golden wedding reception was such a well organised, happy and memorable occasion.
