The Waterfront

We initially chose to have our wedding at The Waterfront after looking at numerous wedding venues due to its unique characteristics. We enquired about the package that would be available to us and we were amazed by the outstanding value for money. We were fully satisfied with the service prior to the wedding day. We were taken care of by our wedding co-ordinator, Sarah, who was a newly appointed member of the team. We were extremely impressed with her organisational skills and wealth of knowledge that was gained during her years working within the wedding industry. We felt confident that our wedding was in good hands and we were looking forward to the day itself which came around extremely fast!

Sarah was on hand to support us when setting up the room the day before to ensure everything ran smoothly. Our wedding day was perfect from beginning to end! We were greeted by Sarah during the ceremony who did a fantastic job guiding members of the wedding party. Following the ceremony, the drinks reception was served promptly on the outside terrace, which allowed the guests to take in the stunning surroundings. All of the courses during our wedding breakfast were served promptly. The waiters were very effective as they worked together as a team. All of the food was absolutely delicious. Through to the evening, the wonderful service continued when the buffet was served. The guests all commented on how impressed they were with the day as a whole. With all the emphasis of this review mainly based on the food and our wedding co-ordinator, I would now like to comment on the venue alone. The setting allowed our photographer to get many different shots of which we will treasure forever, taking advantage of the marina itself, the two lakes, the promenade and the national forest. I would recommend this venue to everyone! The new Mr and Mrs Banks would like to thank The Waterfront for ensuring that our day was flawless!

We had such a wonderful day at the Waterfront for our wedding. The staff were great, the food was lovely and they gave us the freedom to really make our day personal to us. Sarah, the events coordinator, was particularly brilliant and a massive help. Fantastic venue!

Thank you to Michelle for helping making our day so special. After taking over at the crows nest Michelle has been fantastic. Our day ran so smoothly and it really was amazing. And even though Bronwyn has only just joined their team she couldn't have been more helpful and nothing was too much. Love the location and would definitely recommend. Thank you. Mr & Mrs Wileman. X

We had an amazing wedding day at the Waterfront in February.
The setting is romantic with canal boats, lakes, woodland and bridges for fabulous photos.
All the staff worked together to ensure our wedding day was organised to perfection from the moment we booked until the end of our big day.
Prior to our wedding day we had a taster session where we were able to customise our menu choices. The food on the day was of excellent quality and effortlessly served by friendly and competent staff. A huge plus with the service was that the food was delivered to each table at the same time (something rarely experienced on big occasions). The evening buffet was awesome too!
The Crow’s Nest is a very attractive and versatile venue which was adapted seamlessly throughout the day for the wedding ceremony, the wedding breakfast and the evening celebrations.
It was great to be able to help prepare the venue the day before our wedding. Michelle was extremely helpful and we enjoyed decorating and setting up the room.
Our guests had a great time and we had the wedding of our dreams. Thank you to everyone at the Waterfront!
Our wedding package was good value for money and we would highly recommend this venue.

Thank you very much

What a fantastic wedding reception The Waterfront staged for my son and his new wife last week..Champagne and canopes on the terrace on arrival, superb wedding breakfast and evening buffet, excellent service throughout - all contributed to a great day. On top of this, the venue itself, and the bachdrop of beautiful views of the marina and surrounding grounds were all stunning - we are still receiving messages now from guests who were so impressed that they felt the need to compliment us on our choice. All this, plus the professional and diligent support of Sarah the Events Coordiator made it a day to remember!.

We would like to thank the whole of the team at the Waterfront for making our day so amazing!! The food was lovely throughout the wedding breakfast, with great presentation, and the hog roast in the evening was a real winner with our guests! The DJ (who came as a part of our wedding package) was absolutely amazing and kept a great atmosphere up over the whole evening - no-one wanted the dancing to finish!! We must put in a specific mention for Sarah, the wedding co-ordinator, whose professionalism, enthusiasm and positivity was such a huge part of making our day as perfect as it was. Everything flowed well and ran on time, and we didn't have to think about a single thing on the day other than enjoying ourselves. It was a real relief to be able to put our day in such capable hands. If anyone is considering The Waterfront as your wedding venue, you cannot go far wrong by making this choice - your day is guaranteed to be relaxed, full of love and pretty darn perfect.

Thank you to all the team at The Waterfront!

My husband and I were thrilled to enjoy our evening reception at the Waterfront. The staff were helpful the food was very tasteful as our guest remind us still today.
The room was beautiful with nice lighting and we liked the use of the balcony. Our guests were looked after and welcomed as my husband and I made our entrance and the bar prices were reasonable too.
Thankyou.

It's quite hard to articulate how I feel about the experience we had booking /having our wedding at the Waterfront, Barton Marina. It was everything we'd dreamt of and much more.
There was no question about having the Waterfront as our venue, its a stunning room in beautiful surroundings.
Right from the beginning the wedding coordinators were on board with all our ideas.
They made our vision a reality and helped make our day extra special and trouble free.
Without a doubt, we would recommend this venue to anyone.
The hog roast was amazing and was enjoyed by every single guest.

Thank you so much for everything.

It was the best decision we made to have our wedding at The Waterfront. Not only is The Waterfront a stunning venue and location with beautiful views of the Marina and park. But the service was unbeatable with Claire the wedding coordinator always on hand to answer any questions before the wedding, with the set up and throughout the day. The food was outstanding, beautifully presented and tasted amazing. All our guests commented on how delicious the food was, and how stunning the venue and location was. We decided to have the Champagne and canapés on the terrace which was a great opportunity to mingle with guests, and the champagne and canapés were perfect. Claire was really helpful making sure the day ran smoothly and we couldn't of done it without her! It truly was the best day ever and our daughter said it was, "The happiest day ever." And she loved her food, as did the other children. We had a DJ supplied by Claire which was fab as well as an amazing band The Vanz, Which got everybody up dancing. The lighting and dance floor were brilliant, and created a great atmosphere. I would recommend this (in my opinion) 5 star venue to everyone. Not only did The Waterfront create the perfect wedding for us, but it was incredible value for money and in my opinion unbeatable!

My wedding was fantastic! I was heavily pregnant which was discussed and ammo date by Laura. She was a life saver during the planning process and on the day. everything was as planned as left her to set up the room. The food was fantastic, i organised an afternoon tea as canapés and then sit down meal. Which Was to die for. Only complaint of the day was the broccoli was to al dente for me.

The staff were friendly one even went downstairs to make me a mocktail. I also had a rogue guest who stole some vases on the night which the staff identified for me, which meant I got them back.

The Manager dealt with my horrible florist who was rude and aggressive so I didn't have to on the day. And stayed right to the end. As well as packing everything away neatly and nicely to collect the day after.

The location and room was lovely a great space to work with. On the night was Cattons firework display so we saw them all. A fantastic free surprise :)

We plan on coming back for our anniversary so the voucher will be nice addition. Feel free to jiggle the paragraphs about as I'm writing this in a rush.

Our Wedding Day was on 3rd August 2013 and we were delighted that we chose to get married at The Waterfront. The events manager was available to help us throughout the planning stages and she was so flexible, catering for all of our requests! The food was fantastic and the setting was beautiful. The manager met with us several times to go through all of the planning stages and to make sure that the timings were exactly as we wanted which put us at ease. We loved that we had the dj and bar until 1 am (as did all of our friends and family!). In fact many of our friends and family had never visited the Waterfront or Barton Marina before but because of our wedding they have been back several times for walks and meals there. Everyone enjoyed the drinks reception on the terrace and we asked for Sangria to be one of the drinks (I'm a Spanish teacher) and this was organised for us. We were really pleased that we could take things the day before and put them in the office and Laura set everything up exactly as we wanted it on the day. It was great that we could leave everything and return the following day to collect it.
