Pembroke lodge is an absolutely fantastic setting matched only by the professionalism of the team that will be supporting you during your Wedding day. We were received by The sheriff on arrival with his fun and laid back sense of humour that set our day off to the perfect start. We entered into the wedding reception area to find everything was perfectly set for us. Laura ran the day in the most professional manner and really joined in with the spirit of our easy laid back approach that we wanted for the day. It was really appreciated that she joined in with the sense of fun that we really

Spectacular location. Fantastic staff. Been to two weddings there, always exceptional. One of our favourite spots. Has an outside terrace with unrivalled views. Also has an indoor tea room in the period building. Free parking and lovely gardens.

We had the most amazing possible experience getting married in the Russell Suite at Pembroke Lodge. Not only was it a beautiful autumn day, with the rooms all looking gorgeous with the autumn leaves outside, but we couldnt have been more pleased with the staff. Laura was excellent in the lead up, Graham our banqueting manager was so helpful and accommodating on the day, and Kelvin the doorman charmed absolutely everybody, and went above and beyond to make it the best possible day. Weve already had so many of our guests feed back about how lovely the staff were. We cannot recommend Pembroke

We were here for a wedding. A really nice venue with great views. The food was good and the main room a good size for the wedding. The ceremony was held outside which was a lovely touch given the weather.
