Beautiful venue and amazing staff! Communication was brilliant throughout the process and they gave us so much freedom to make the venue on the day our own. Nothing was ever too much to ask from them. We can't thank them enough!

After two cancelled wedding dates due to COVID we were lucky enough to finally hold our wedding here in August this year. Throughout the whole
(pretty stressful) process Diane and Ian were so helpful and understanding and we really cannot thank them enough. Amy was brilliant in the run up helping us to coordinate everything and communicating with our suppliers and Lauren on the day was so helpful and responsive to anything we needed! We married at St Peter's Church and walked across the field to the venue, and it was a lovely extra surprise to see Ian's video of us and our guests making the procession
