The whole process was smooth and stress free

To Annabelle and everyone at Nurstead Court
Thank you so much for creating our perfect day. The whole process from booking to packing away was smooth and stress free. We couldn't have asked for a better day or a better team running the show. We are forever grateful.

A Magical Fairy tale wedding

Thank you all so much for everything you did for us on our wedding day last Saturday.
Thank you all for giving us a magical fairy tale wedding. The cottage was a cosy setting for a bride and bridesmaids to prepare. The house and gardens were superb, the house was beautiful and the gardens blooming. The catering was delicious and we did notice all the hard work and effort Lee went in to providing the vegetarian options, from the canapes right through to the evening barbeque. All the waiting staff were friendly and efficient. Lee in charge of the evening entertainment was spot on with the playlists. And last but not least Carol’s breakfast the following morning was a perfect way to end our wonderful stay at Nurstead Court.
Above all Annabelle we would like to thank you for everything you did to help us organise our wedding, for those endless emails I sent to you, for all your help on the day, and letting us enjoy the beauty of your family home on our special day. Thank you so much.

You and your staff should be so proud.

7 August 2017

Dear Annabelle and Sally
Alison and I would like to thank you very much for all your help in making our wedding on 29 July 2017 at Nurstead Court just as we hoped it would be. Many of our guests have written to us saying the venue was perfect, beautiful and elegant which is why we chose Nurstead Court.

Alison and her sister enjoyed getting ready in Stable Cottage and Alison and I thoroughly enjoyed our cooked breakfasts – so a big thank you to Carol
.
Also one of your staff (was it Sue ?) helped me with my buttonhole which I was very grateful for as I was worried about getting it right.

The whole event went so well and you and all your staff who look after Nurstead Court should be so proud.
Yours sincerely
Andy Taylor

Beyond our best expections

I must take this chance to put in writing what an absolutely fabulously day Nigel and I had. The whole Nurstead Court wedding experience was beyond our best expectations. Annabelle is a wonderfully relaxed and helpful hostess and the cottage, marquee and grounds are beautiful. All of our guests were incredibly complimentary about the food and venue. All the best

Best Day Ever

Sent: 29 September 2015 09:33

Hi Annabelle,

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for Saturday.
It was the most perfect day, from start to finish, the weather being the start of it, then the setting, and then the ceremony, and the reception in the lovely marquee afterwards.
Everything went like clockwork, all the guests remarked on the lovely food and the organisation of your staff and just how professional they were.
A real team, and Pops was the trooper behind the bar for sure!!! A great time was had by all, the only downside being it had to end ?
It was a pleasure dealing with you and it won’t stop there, as I am thinking of having my next birthday celebration at Nurstead next year.

There was not a single thing we would have changed

We had to write to you to say a huge THANK YOU for putting on such a fantastic day for us! All of your staff were absolutely great and the day was perfect - there wasn't a single thing we would have changed about it.
You were so accommodating and understanding with all of our requests and it really made the difference as the day turned out exactly as we wanted it to be so we can't thank you enough!

The food was out of this world

We would like to express how happy we were to have our special day at Nurstead Court on the 21st March. The house, marquee and especially the gardens looked absolutely wonderful. We have had a lot of comments on how stunning the venue was. A huge thank you to you and all the Nurstead Court staff for making our day just perfect. Please pass on our thanks to Lee. The food was out of this world and thoroughly enjoyed by us, our Wedding breakfast guests and Evening guests. We thought Barry was an absolute star – what a lovely man to have ensure our dining experience ran smoothly. Pops was also excellent in keeping some guests topped up with Jägerbombs in the evening!

The best wedding they have ever been to

Scott and I would like to say a huge big thank you for helping to make our wedding day, more perfect than we could have hoped for. We really did have a truly amazing day from beginning to end, everything ran so perfectly and smoothly, and all of my worries, and I know I had a few!, didn't even cross my mind once throughout the day. So thank you, thank you for making a very anxious bride feel totally relaxed and at ease!

We have truly lost count of the number of our friends and family who have said what a fantastic day they had, and a number of them even telling us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. It makes us so happy to know that we achieved, the fun, relaxed day that we set out for, and this wouldn't have been possible without all of your lovely staff there to help that happen.

We really did run out of superlatives

Your staff (both Nurstead Court staff and Bite Me Catering staff) were professional and helpful. They were there when they were needed and seemed to fade into the background when they weren’t!

We really did run out of superlatives to describe your cuisine, presentation, and service. We’re sure you don’t need references, but we would be delighted to provide our recommendation at any time.

Thank you for making our evening of celebration so memorable!
