Mr and Mrs Venables

Wow, wow, WOW!! Where do I start?! From the moment I came to visit you for the first time, I knew you were the venue for our wedding. You guys have been faultless - nothing has ever been too much trouble, and you worked with us and our suppliers to create our perfect day. And perfect is exactly what it was! You even jokingly said you ordered good weather for the day so that we could have our ceremony outside, and you didn't disappoint on that either!! So many people commented on how beautiful the venue was, and also how smoothly the day went - there wasn't a single problem and you took care of everything, so all we had to do was relax and enjoy ourselves. The food was gorgeous too, and again, many people commented on how good the evening BBQ was. Julie and Tom in particular have been absolute stars, and we're so grateful for everything you've done for us - the rest of the staff were brilliant too, so thank you all!! We had the most amazing day!

Thank you so much for a great day! All the staff were all brilliant and made our day so special. I can't believe how quickly it has all passed now. We couldn't have asked for a better venue- we are so pleased the weather was on our side!
All our family and friends loved every minute of it. They had all travelled from afar and enjoyed looking around the grounds and exploring. Thank you for answering all our questions etc. You and your team worked very hard to ensure that everyone was happy! Once again thank you so much for all you did.

The Old Vicarage was the only venue we viewed, we knew straight away it was the perfect venue for us. Julie helped us so much organising our day and Tom couldn't have been more helpful! We had the best day and the venue looked beyond beautiful, all of the recommended suppliers we used were amazing. Can't wait to see the photos, this place is definitely special.
