We booked Woodhall for our Wedding back in Jan 19 for December 21 and although it seemed like a long time away, it soon sprung up on us. The payments were well spaced and at no point did we feel pressured, and throughout covid all of the staff we dealt with were very reassuring. We made multiple visits for open days and food tasting and it was always a pleasure. Now that the dust has settled from our big day, our biggest thanks must go to Charlotte, apparently she hasn't been doing wedding planning that long (her words), but you'd never know, her communication was fantastic and she made the last

We had our wedding here on Saturday 9 October and it couldn't have gone better. Lorraine, Charlotte and the team looked after us very well and ensured that we had the perfect day. The Manor has the most beautiful grounds and I cannot recommend it enough for your fairytale wedding. The food was also exquisite and all our guests commented on the quality. Thank you for a wonderful day!

Lovely venue for wedding in the glorious sunshine Food ok but have had better elsewhere. Doesn't cater enough for disabled people. Poor quality beers - none on draft and limited selection of spirits. Expensive prices even for soft drinks. Nice experience tho
