The Atrium with its beautiful fairy lit trees, can be transformed into anything from an ‘Al Fresco’ style dining space to a contemporary warehouse party.

Venue Service By Jim & Litty, on 14 Apr 2020Date of Wedding - 07 Sep 2019 Hi Emma, Firstly I just want to say thank you for making sure the day ran smoothly.

Everyone was complementing us on how well organised the event was, and we really appreciate the extra effort the whole team went to.Thank You! Venue Service By Jade & Larren, on 14 Apr 2020Date of Wedding - 07 Sep 2018 Hi Emma, We cannot thank both you and Nikki enough for making our day as perfect as it was. Everyone keeps commenting on what an amazing day it was and such a beautiful venue. Everything ran so smoothly from start to finish and we so want to do it all over again lol. Thanks again Jade & LarrenThank You! Venue Service By Molly & James, on 14 Apr 2020Date of Wedding - 25 Aug 2018 Hi Emma and Nikki, I just wanted to email (bit late, sorry!) To say a massive thank you again for the best day of our lives. I didn't imagine it would all come together so amazingly like it did!! Thank you!Thank You! Venue Service By Claire & Ryan, on 14 Apr 2020Date of Wedding - 25 May 2018 Hi Emma & Nikki, Just to say, a massive THANK YOU! to you both, for all your hard work leading up to and on our wedding day. A thank you to your amazing team as well. We are both very grateful for the time and hard work you put in to helping us pull off our big day, especially since having to take over the reigns so close to the date! Your organisation, communication and ability to bring everything together was superb and this certainly reflects in the response and feedback we've received from many of our friends and family. Everyone had a fantastic time! You're both fabulous, and we have no doubt that between you, you are going to do great things up at Wherstead Park and we couldn't recommend you more!The occasion you always dream of Venue Service By Doug and Elaine Pearson, on 28 Jun 2016Good morning Lesley, Nikki & Alice Elaine & I would like to thank you all for the fantastic support, advice and enthusiasm your team gave, to make our daughter’s wedding an absolutely brilliant occasion, one you always dream of. The amount of care and attention you provided from the very start of this journey has been immense and throughout the whole process you gave your time freely and presented yourselves with such friendly professionalism which made us feel like real VIP’s. The location of Wherstead Park is perfect, just so convenient to all major routes for people travelling from away, and the ambience of Wherstead Park is just perfect for an impressive and individual wedding. The stairway is beyond beautiful, the Atrium also a real winner for us, and the fact that we could dress this up into a ‘picnic’ style with REAL GRASS was a big bonus. It was received very well by all who attended. Every guest, without exception was very impressed with the food and service. Please pass on our appreciation to Pat and her team for this. However, although we are repeating ourselves, the biggest asset you have is yourselves. You and your team were AWESOME, you all displayed such enthusiasm to make it a special day for us all. I also understand that you were there until the early hours of the morning, (apologies for that) which again proves what a wonderfully understanding team you are. When Elaine & I look to celebrate any future ‘family’ events, we would not hesitate at looking at Wherstead Park again, that's for sure. Thank you very much for your services, it has been a great pleasure for us. Best regards Doug & Elaine PearsonOur daughters wedding.
