Everything I dreamed of

I’ve always known Norwood Park was the kind of place I would love to get married. When we got engaged and visited for the first time, we both fell in love and knew it was the place for us. We knew it was a beautiful setting, exclusive use, and loved the fact that the venue is historic yet modern and well kept at the same time.

What we didn’t know at the time we booked was just how amazing the people that work at Norwood are. From the moment we booked, until the morning after our big day, nobody could have done more for us. From first contact and through the 19 month wait until our wedding day, communication was great. I often emailed little questions I had and always got a response within a few hours. Nothing was ever too much trouble and every person we encountered was super helpful.

After our final meeting, we felt confident that everything would be smooth on the day. Rich made us feel like we were in very capable hands and that he would make sure everything was perfect. On the day itself this was the case and everything flowed seamlessly. A special thank you to Hazel too who we only met on the day but worked tirelessly from first thing in the morning checking all the rooms, until the evening guiding us to our cake cutting and first dance and was there in the morning helping us get all of our belongings together. All the staff members really are pro’s at what they do and I didn’t have to worry about anything. We had the best day of our lives and are so grateful for all of the hard work of everyone at Norwood that went into making our dream day a reality.

We got married at the beautiful Norwood park on 22/06/2024


From booking the venue 2 years ago we knew from the start it was the best decision we’d made. We always felt so welcome at Norwood. From the very start the staff have been incredible in helping us with any need we had, whether in person at the many wedding fayres, showcases and Christmas markets we attended or by quick and friendly responses to many emails, even getting excited with us in the weeks leading up to the big day. By the time of the wedding we felt surrounded by even more friends.
The food was delicious, and they catered to our guests dietary requirements and choices, with no issues at all. They could not do enough for us on the day and we felt so very spoilt by them all and we had some good laughs along the way.
The house is like something straight out of a fairytale and the bedrooms are beautiful and in keeping with the rest of the house. The grounds are stunning. The time and effort that has gone and continues to go into making Norwood as beautiful as it is is obvious.
Our guests are still raving about how great the staff were and how stunning the grounds are. The attention to detail is second to none and we cannot recommend Norwood park enough to anyone planning their wedding. Nothing was ever too much for team Norwood.
We’d love to relive our day over and over and cannot wait for the next excuse for us to go back.

Fabulous wedding venue

Where do we start? Everything was simply amazing. The most gorgeous venue, the brilliant events team and the wonderful backdrop of Highland Coos!

Everyone was so helpful right from first enquiry and show around, and the Norwood Black Book of suppliers was also invaluable.

The day itself ran like clockwork and we didn’t have to worry about a thing - we were just left to enjoy every moment, which we most certainly did!

All our guests thought the venue, food and service were fantastic so a big thank you to everyone at Norwood Park!

Excellent venue with amazing staff

We got married at Norwood Park in October 2023 and would highly recommend this venue. The whole planning process, from initial viewing all the way to the wedding day itself, was seamless, fun and easy thanks to the brilliant staff. The venue itself is beautiful with open fires, lots of bedrooms for guests to stay and a lovely, light room for the wedding breakfast.
On our wedding day the weather was very rainy but it really didn’t matter as we could still have all of our photographs inside. The staff also went out of their way to make the day run smoothly and ensure that everyone had fun. When timings had to change slightly on the day, they accommodated all of this and made the day completely stress free. All of our guests had a great time and commented on how beautiful the venue was, the amazing staff and the great food.
We absolutely loved being one of the Norwood Park couples and loved getting married here!

The beveridge wedding

From walking into the venue with the bridal party. We were greeted by rich and hazel. Very welcoming.
The place was immaculate, attention to detail was brilliant.
The grounds were like something out of a film. The whole place was beautiful and just perfect for the wedding.
All the staff that were on shift that day was brilliant and nothing was too much for them. Everyone one of them spoke as the saw u and had a smile.
The food was beautiful and there was enough on the plate.
I would recommend Norwood to anyone for a wedding. You won’t be disappointed

December wedding

Wow where do I begin, if you are looking for the perfect venue for your wedding this is the one.

We got married at Norwood in December 2023, the day was perfect! The staff are amazing and made sure the day ran smoothly, the guests commented on how good the staff were. The food was delicious, from the canapés to the wedding breakfast and the evening food.

The venue itself is stunning with beautiful grounds. They also had a massive stunning Christmas tree up with it being December, which made the most loveliest photos and one of the reasons we wanted this venue for our December wedding.

We couldn't fault the day and we 100% recommend this venue.

Looking forward to going back to the winter ball next December.

Thank you again for the most amazing day.

Would recommend this venue a thousand times over!

Norwood Park made our dreams come true on Sunday; my husband and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting to tie the knot. The staff could not do enough for you, every request was fulfilled with a smile. I can’t express how thankful and happy I am that I chose this venue for my day. Would recommend a thousand times over!
