    Our wedding day

    Everyone says not everything will go to plan and no ones day is perfect, but I can tell you ours was !
    Everything ran so smoothly and was absolutely perfect for us.
    All our family and friends have gave nothing but positive comments about the day, the venue and the staff that supported.
    Thank you for making our day so special and one we will remember forever.
    From the moment we viewed the lodge we knew it was where we wanted to get married.
    The package blew us away with what was included and all suppliers involved were lovely.
    We couldn't recommend this venue more.
    Thank you 💗
    Karis and reece

    Our Special Day

    Absolutely brilliant communication between ourselves, Sam & Anne... everything was done within a timely manner and they done everything possible to make our dream day as close to perfect on what was controllable.
    The grounds itself is absolutely beautiful, pictures do not do it justice, you have to see it yourself!
    The staff were so lovely with us, checking in to make sure we were okay and happy with everything.

    It was honestly perfect for us! And it was all done within 4months!

    A Fantastic Day

    We looked at several venues, but the fact that we had so much flexibility made the Lodge the best option. We had the ability to completely tailor the day to suit our needs. All of the staff were brilliant, the venue was the perfect size. The DJ was brilliant too. We both sat down the next day and said there was not one thing we would have changed about it.

    We wanted to have the ceremony outside and the team had two seating plans arranged for us should the weather change. The bar drinks were extremely reasonably priced.

    We opted for a BBQ and it was a very good choice, all of the guests commented on the food and they liked the fact it was less formal. The food for the buffet was really good also.

    The staff were constantly clearing the tables and making sure we were all ok.

    I really cannot recommend this venue enough. We cannot thank them enough for making our day so special and all of our guests all agreed.

    They made our wedding dreams come true

    From start to finish Sam and the team at Rettendon lodge events have been amazing! Nothing was too much for them and they really took care of me my husband and our guests. They made our wedding views and dreams come true. We got married in August and although the weather wasn’t the best we got our outside wedding thanks to the large umbrellas for our guests. We can’t thank all at Rettendon lodge enough. I would recommend going to one of their wedding fairs as they have lots of suppliers they work closely with.

    Thank you Paige, for writing such a lovely heartfelt review. We loved all your personalised details you added to your day, and toms input with his cherished motorbike!
    Love the photos you have added. Beautiful bride & groom xxx

    Best day of our lives

    What can I say!! The MOST magical day, nothing was too much trouble for the team. Staff, venue, food, atmosphere, were all amazing and we were actually shocked at how reasonably priced our day was. When I compared it to others it is 100% outstanding

    Rettendon Lodge Events's reply:

    Aww thank you, it was our absolute pleasure!
    It means so much to the events team to receive such a wonderful review, it’s very much appreciated. All the very best xxx

    Outstanding from the events team who made our day a dream come true

    The whole experience from when we first met Sam the events manager, through to the moment we left the Lodge on the night of our wedding, we were beyond happy with the Lodge. Nothing was ever a problem, the team were very organised and made us very comfortable on the day, sticking to timings really well. The food was delicious we had so many compliments after the day of the food and the bar staff service on the night too. I am a perfectionist and couldn’t have been more happy with the service we received, we really did have the best wedding day. Thank you to the wonderful team at the Lodge, we would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married.

    Rettendon Lodge Events's reply:

    Aww thank you, we absolutely love what we do at the lodge, and reading this we are definitely doing something right. It obviously helps when we have such a fun loving couple like your self & Josh. Pair of little beauties. Merry Christmas xxx

    Fantastic Evening

    Myself (David) and my Wfie (Jamie) had a belated wedding reception at the lodge country inn and couldn’t have been happier with the venue and staff.

    The events planner Samantha was very responsive and was always there to answer any questions we had and was very helpful on the evening itself as was all of the staff.

    We arrived at the lodge at midday and had lunch and the food was very good. We then checked into our rooms which was very easy. The rooms were very clean and everything we.

    At the party in the evening the marquee looked amazing and everyone mentioned what a lovely time they had and mentioned how nice the food was. The Staff in the marquee were very friendly.

    I would definitely recommend using this venue for any celebration you have as it’s very good value for money.

    Rettendon Lodge Events's reply:

    Hiya David & Jamie
    Thank you for taking the time to write up this review. I don’t know how but every couple manage to add their own little stamp to the marquee. As so did you! It was just perfect. Love to you all and we wish you a very happy Christmas xxx

    Amazing venue, wonderful staff and absolutely stress free!

    Me and my husband had our wedding here in September 2021, and the venue was beautiful with friendly staff! Samantha went above and beyond to give us our perfect stress free day. The communication between us and venue was amazing. We couldn’t thank them enough!

    Rettendon Lodge Events's reply:

    Mr & Mrs Chambers, fun, fun, fun!
    2 years in the making, & covid in between but we finally got there! We were ecstatic and as excited as Pete when we see you walking down the aisle. Just beautiful from start to Pete’s dad dancing at the end. Much love to you both xxx
