Wherstead Park Reviews (2) Write a review 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.
