  The most amazing day

  We had the MOST AMAZING DAY and I just wanted to share the below with you.
  
  Right from the first phone call I made to you, through to after the wedding, you were always super friendly, super efficient and passionate about everything detail we discussed.
  Nothing was ever too much trouble.
  
  Every supplier I spoke to, spoke so highly about Corrina and I couldn't agree more with them. She is an asset to The Great House and we couldn't have wished for anyone else to help plan our wedding day. You made the whole experience enjoyable and as stress-free as it can be.
  
  The day itself was truly magical, which we also thank Kate and the team for too.
  A special thanks to Kate for ensuring our special day run like clockwork and for bringing a fun and a relaxed feel to the lead up and on the day. Exactly what we needed.
  
  THANK YOU once again from both of us.

  Our special day made even more special at this amazing venue!

  
  
  Our wedding at The Great House was absolutely incredible and would HIGHLY recommend the venue!!!
  There are no words to really explain how fabulous the staff were in the lead up our wedding and throughout the day.
  Firstly, Natalie who helped me plan the day and made sure we were able to include all the details we wanted to make our day extra special and perfect. Natalie was absolutely amazing, very efficient - always getting back to me so quickly and always had the answers! She was so incredibly friendly and easy going, exactly what we needed.
  Jen co-ordinated the entire day, and did the most incredible job! The day would not have been the same without her. Everything ran like clockwork, nothing went wrong - not that I was aware of anyway! It was utter perfection. Jen made sure our special day was just perfection!
  Clare, who managed the catering staff was so fabulous! She did a great job in managing it all, nothing was too much and she was just so effective and super friendly!!
  Last but not least the food! It was delicious. I also have to make a special mention to how well they catered for allergies and special dietary requirements. My little girl has several allergies and they managed it all so well.
  
  I can’t thank everyone that worked so hard to bring it all together enough. We will never ever forget it!
  What a beautiful venue with absolutely incredible staff!
  Thank you all SO much!
  
  Love,
  Leisha & Dominic xxxxxx

  The best Little & Local COVID wedding!

  We decided to have a Little & Local wedding last September, instead of the BIG Cornwall plan, and chose The Great House as our venue. Such a lovely location and a laid back vibe which was exactly what we wanted, and we’re so happy we made that decision as the team were amazing!! So flexible with our many wants and changes, able to cope with all our different dietary needs and on the day, the team were BRILLIANT! Everything went according to plan, from the table settings to the delicious wedding breakfast and we can’t thank them enough! The absolute perfect day and eight months on, we’re still on a high! Big shout especially to Corrina, Charlotte, Amy Claire and Clare who helped our vision come to life!

  Magical day despite covid derailment

  We couldn’t be more thankful and appreciative of the service and event we held at The Great House, Sonning, on 12 July 2020. We were due to tie the knot in May 2020 but the pandemic prevented us doing so. We had about 2 weeks to get up and running for the 12 July but with the support of the events team and our families it was an event to remember. Superb staff, food and setting. Would highly recommend. We had just 10 for both the ceremony and meal. There is a beautiful small space for the ceremony. Thank you to the Great House and Team!

  I just want to say a massive thank you to you and the team for making mine and Rays day on Friday such a wonderful experience. Everyone had nothing but good things to say and enjoyed every moment and a lot of that is to do with the help and support we had from the team. Izzy was brilliant, I am so pleased we chose The Great House to help host our special day. We will be back!!
  
  Love Debbie and Ray x

  Thank you so much for everything.

  I am just writing to say a huge thank you to you and the team at The Great House for everything that was done to make our wedding such an amazing day.
  
  Our friends and family also thought the venue, catering and the team on the day were fantastic. The team went above and beyond all day even down one of your colleagues helping to walk my Grandad over to reception to check in to his room as he is very unsteady on his feet.
  
  Kate was a very calming influence on the morning of the wedding. There was a lot of 'flapping' going on in the room with everyone trying to get ready and get over to the ceremony and Kate was amazing at letting me know she had everything under control so that I could focus on not falling over whilst walking down the aisle.
  
  You were fantastic at answering all of our many queries and never made us feel that we were asking too much. The additional touches of the deck chairs, the igloo and the gin bar were great elements to our day and very much appreciated.
  
  We will always rave about The Great House as a wedding venue as it is not only a beautiful venue to get married in but the team themselves are the stars of the show!

  It completely exceeded what we imagined.

  We just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the team at the Great House. We had such an amazing day; to us it all ran so smoothly which I understand means that a lot of hard work goes on behind the scenes. The team were so attentive and fantastic so we are very grateful for this. It completely exceeded what we imagined.
  And Corrina thank you so much for being so patient - nothing was every too much trouble and you made the whole planning process so smooth and easy - again we appreciate how much hard work goes on.
  From the moment I spoke to you on the phone to book a look round you were so kind and open which was so refreshing from speaking to a few other venues.
  So thank you again!
  
  Our guests were really impressed with the venue, food, friendliness of staff and accommodation. Several friends and family members have mentioned that when they come up and visit that they will stay at The Great House instead of staying with us! (Not offended! ??)

  very successful wedding at your lovely hotel

  We are back from our Honeymoon, which was wonderful, and wanted to write to you to say a huge thank you for everything you did for us to make our wedding at The Great House a success.
  
  Your planning and advice was excellent, and your team were great on the day. Kate and her staff were brilliant! She kept us calm before the ceremony and kept us fully informed on what was happening. She and the team looked after us so well throughout the afternoon.
  
  The Singing Waiters Masters were a hit! Thank you for keeping it a secret. Our guests (and I hope your staff) thoroughly enjoyed their performance.
  
  All in all a very successful wedding at your lovely location.
