  Gill & Paul 24th May 2024

  The moment we visited Missenden Abbey and met with Laura we knew this was the ideal venue to celebrate our wedding with family and friends. The Abbey and grounds are amazing and the ceremony room and Marquee were perfect. The Wedding suite and accommodation including Wysteria cottage catered for all our family and friends.
  Natasha, Kathy and the team of staff made our day run smoothly and we could not have been happier. They were very attentive and we had no end of compliments from our guests, they also ensured my Dad was looked after throughout the day. The weather was perfect and everyone including the children enjoyed both the marquee and grounds, The food was exceptional and they met all dietary requirements.
  The DJ had everyone up and dancing from the first dance to the end of the evening. A wonderful end to our dream wedding and lots of happy memories to treasure!

  Great venue & experience

  We chose this venue, as compared to several others we had viewed & assessed, it was, all things considered, best value for money.
  We had exclusive use of the very well maintained Abbey which has a very cosy feel to it & with several day & evening guests travelling a fair distance, the on-site overnight accommodation was a major plus at a reasonable price.
  Lovely setting. Very intimate layout. Great staff. Lovely food.
  Natasha oversees the wedding coordinators at the Abbey & all staff on the day so with over 20 years experience there, this was an important factor for us. Service on the day was very slick & numerous guests commented on how good it was along with the quality of the food.
  This really is a great venue & the organisation very impressive so we would have no hesitation in recommending to others.

  Missenden Abbey's reply:

  Thank you so much Stephen for your lovely review. You were both a pleasure to work with.
  The choir Janet organised after the ceremony was a beautiful touch and enjoyed by all guests and staff!
  I wish you both a life time of happiness xx

  Kim & Ryan Wedding

  We got married in July and gosh did Missenden Abbey DELIVER. We genuinely had the wedding we had hoped and dreamed of and it was all thanks to the amazing Missenden Abbey team and the stunning venue, got to mention the food was also insane. They were flexible and accounted for the fusion of both African and English culture! People always say that something usually goes wrong on your wedding day and just run with it, but genuinely, the team ensured everything was seamless which enabled us to feel so relaxed and fully embrace and enjoy our special day. We will forever be thankful. Shout out to Natasha and Lauren for always being available and approachable, regardless of our trillion emails. We could not recommend this venue enough and hope to be celebrating future events here too!

  Thank you so much Kim for your kind words. I am so pleased I was able to be part of your special day. You were a delightful couple to work with and I loved how Ryan's family embraced the African culture and changed into African wear for the evening reception!
  It was truly a magnificent day xx
  Wishing you both lots of health wealth and happiness for many years to come xx

  Our dream wedding

  Natasha and her team were amazing, welcoming, friendly and accommodating from the first day of looking at the venue, all the way through the booking process and the big day.
  
  They were flexible with our needs and wishes and we had the most amazing day.
  
  A lot of our guests stayed at the accommodation for both the night before and on the night of the wedding. Everybody commented how beautiful the venue was and so was the food too.

  Well Lotta what can I say.. from the day I met you and Brian I knew your wedding was going to be lots of fun and Brian certainly had me on my toes from start to finish! :-)
  You were a gorgeous bride and I am so pleased you chose Missenden Abbey and I was able to share your day with you.

  Our Beautiful Summer Wedding!

  My husband and I got engaged 2 years ago and recently got married at Missenden on the 31st August. From the moment we visited the venue we knew this was the place we want to get wed. The scenery, beautiful grounds and amazing hosting, customer service and welcoming environment . All the staff were incredibly friendly, but our wedding Coordinator Natasha was outstanding. From start to finish she made our wedding feel seamless and was always on hand to answer questions (at the speed of lightening may I add!!). I couldn't recommend this venue enough. I must also mention that the food was outstanding too! We had so many compliments from our guests about their wedding breakfast meal and the buffet. It was honestly the best decision we made, and we will be going back in the near future for afternoon tea. Thank you to everyone at Missenden for making our day magical.
  
  Love Gloria & Chris xxx

  I hope Chris enjoyed his surprise of the Ugandan dancers! A lovely personal touch.
  I wish you both many happy years together as husband and wife xx

  Creating our perfect day with collaboration and care

  Missenden Abbey took the stress out of wjat is supposed to be one of the rive most stressful things you can do in your life. Natasha in particular was responsive, decisive and explained clearly what would happen on the day, how it would be managed and where they could help solve problems or concerns. Every guest told us how beautiful the venue was but also took pains to tell us how smoothly the wedding went and how attentive and helpful the staff were. Kathy managed the day perfectly and by the end of the evening we both felt shattered, but so happy our perfect day had been just that; perfect.

  Wedding at Missenden Abbey

  Planning a wedding in a year did not seem as hard because of Missenden Abbey. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming, in particular Natasha and Cathy leading up to the wedding and the day itself was so seamless because they were so helpful and made it as stress free as possible! From the beginning at the Missenden Wedding Fair we fell in love with the people we chose to be a part of the wedding. Our lovely harpist Tori, our funny and mystical magician Paul, our creative florist Taniece and her team, Tim and his on the dance floor fireworks and our wonderful photographer Graham who captured all of our chaotic and fun moments. If you’re going to get married we 100% recommend Missenden Abbey.

  We had the most absolutely magical wedding day.

  We cannot thank Natasha and the team at Missenden Abbey enough. The amount of effort they put into our day was outstanding. As the bride I was very relaxed and calm and I enjoyed every single moment of the day and that’s how to the planning, organising and support of the venue.
  
  I had my vision and it was excelled and so much more. Throughout the process Natasha would reply to countless emails and any hick-ups on the way they were fixed.
  
  Throughout our day we did have a fire alarm which delayed us by half an hour however the venue gave us half an hour extra of the bar service at the end of the night to compensate.
  
  I also requested Indian buffet which was not on the menu and the chef made an outstanding spread of food. All the food was brilliant our guests loved 3 course meal that was on option.
  
  We cannot thank the venue enough for the beautiful day we had.

  It was the best day of our lives!

  We planned the whole event in just over 6 months. From start to finish the team at Missenden Abbey made everything go smoothly. Natasha looked after us from the beginning, helping us to prioritise and giving us recommendations for various suppliers. We followed all of their recommendations and every one was exceptionally good. We had many special food requests and all of them were taken seriously, with Missenden Abbey looking after each one of our guests. On the day, we were looked after by Kathy and her team, who calmly ensured everything went smoothly and we knew we were in safe hands throughout the day. The food was delicious, the service was exceptional and the venue is an stunning in real life as it is in the brochure. We had the best day of our lives!

  The BEST! Incredible from start to finish!

  We got married at Missenden Abbey yesterday (25/5/24) and I couldn't have imagined a more perfect day - truly the best day of our lives! Since meeting Natasha (our wedding coordinator) and booking our wedding in August 2022, Natasha has consistently gone above and beyond with every aspect of our wedding. Having such an incredible wedding coordinator honestly made such a difference to our wedding planning, and there is absolutely nothing I could fault from start to finish.
  
  Every aspect of our wedding at MA has been absolutely outstanding - from the venue, to the food, to the coordination and organisation, everything! Our wedding food, made by the wonderful chefs, was honestly some of the best food we've ever eaten (we've had so many compliments from our guests)! It was a really nice touch when we had our wedding food tasting evening organised for us back in January, and we were blown away when everything was set up for us as if we were dining exclusively in the finest restaurant around! The food was prepared for us in the most magical way which was so special, and the staff had even printed off personalised menus for us for fun! On the wedding day itself, the food again was the star of the show, and we were so impressed with how lovely and attentive all of the waiting staff (waitresses & waiters) were!
  
  We were so blessed to have such lovely weather on our wedding day, to truly showcase the beauty and glory of both the Abbey and the grounds. The whole set-up was absolutely perfect - there's nothing better than being offered Pimms or Prosecco after arriving at MA after the ceremony! Being able to have the resident Pizza Van (complementary with the wedding package we chose) in the sunshine for our evening guests was absolutely incredible too - genuinely the best pizza we've ever had and the friendliest man who owns the company too!
  
  This truly is the best venue on the planet for a wedding (I know I'm biased, but I do genuinely mean it)! The wedding team (Natasha & Laura) have been absolutely fantastic, and it's been such a relief to have such communicative, transparent, efficient, and kind staff to work with! On the day itself (and the week leading up to the wedding), Natasha has genuinely been outstanding and went out of her way to make sure that every single request and need was met, and always put my mind at ease. It's been so lovely to have worked with such a lovely, kind, and supportive wedding coordinator, and I'm so grateful to have had someone so passionate about weddings help me have the bestest day of my life (because it truly was)!
  
  I would absolutely recommend MA to every single person!
