Reviews for Poets House
Amazing fairy tale venue
Wedding August 2023
Made our day perfect
I would recommend the Poets House if you are wanting an intimate wedding. Beautiful venue and the staff made our day perfect.
The most obvious choice for a wedding venue !
Right from the start Poets House catered for our every need, unlike other wedding venues Poets House, arranged everything the way we wanted it, with no 'set packages' to choose from.
The food, wine, garden, staff, table decorations, drinks & canapes looked & tasted fabulous, the flow of the day, with the use of the garden, could not have been better.
Christine & her team liaised with our photographer (Chris Boland) & our florist (Wild Clover) all I had to do, as the bride, was turn up & say 'I do' !!
Fabulous location, fabulous food & drinks, fabulous staff - I can't praise them enough !
