  Our Perfect Venue

  What an amazing venue, Shirna and Jess couldn't do more for us and nothing was too much. We knew on our first visit that this was the venue for us.
  
  They helped us plan the day and gave us lists of recommended local suppliers (all who we used were brilliant) and things we needed to do at different times, to make sure we stayed on top of our wedding prep. For someone who had no idea about wedding logistics this was so helpful.
  
  We met with the chef to discuss our meal options and came up with the most delicious wedding menu, so many compliments from our guests on how incredible the food was. For anyone reading this who is interested our main meals were beef wellington, mushroom wellington and duck breast. These were as delicious on the day as they were at our tasting meal (few pics attached).
  
  We hired the whole hotel for the day with 70 guests for the day and 120 in the evening. I was slightly worried it might be a bit cramped but actually it wasn't at all and everyone stayed together, danced, drank and ate cake!
  
  We had a few children with us during the day, ages from 18months to 15years and they were as looked after as all the adults.
  
  Our wedding was in March so we didn't expect glorious weather but we managed a confetti photo and some of just the two of us outside. We then had a few family photos in the library when the rain came.
  
  The rooms were all lovely, I stayed in room 4 the night before the wedding, and room 15 the night of the wedding, both beautiful and spacious. It was lovely to get ready in the hotel the morning of the wedding (highly recommend this to brides), with a big enough room to have all my bridesmaids in with me.
  
  The staff on the day were incredible and they made the day run so smoothly, we didn't need to worry about anything and could fully embrace our wedding day.
  
  Without a doubt the right choice for our wedding and anyone considering the Horn of Plenty as a venue you won't regret it. Beautiful scenery, wonderful staff, great food and having the whole hotel to ourselves, we couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect wedding.

  Thank you for this wonderful review. We thoroughly enjoyed planning your wedding with you and looking after your delightful guests on the day. Rain definitely didn't spoil your day with some gorgeous images captured by your photographer, Clare Kinchin.
  We look forward to seeing you again soon.

  The best day of our lives

  We cannot recommend the Horn of Plenty enough. We hired the whole hotel, and from the bespoke food (thanks Kit) to the service, as well as the beauty of the place/location we could not have asked for more. The wedding planning team were superb and all the guests were totally amazed, saying what a magical event it was. The dogs had fun too! We live local and this is undoubtably the best place to go

  The most amazing wedding day!

  The staff at the Horn of Plenty made our wedding day better than we could have imagined. We payed for exclusive use which was a really good decision. The organisation was excellent, the food was divine and the day ran seamlessly without any issues. We had good weather so could use the outside space for photos and for mingling and the views were beautiful. Our guests commented on how lovely their rooms were. Being able to design our own wedding breakfast menu was a wonderful experience and the chef took on board our feedback after the tasting. We had so many guests comment that the food was the best they'd ever had, even in top London restaurants, and people saying it was the best wedding they'd been to. The staff worked well with our other suppliers such as the florist and communication was very good. They were all friendly and helpful. The day couldn't have been better and we wish we could do it all over again!

  Perfect intimate wedding

  We couldn’t have been more pleased with our intimate wedding at the Horn of Plenty - breathtaking views, incredible wedding planners, fantastic food.
  
  Our wedding was planned pretty speedily and Jess & Shirna provided brilliant support in the lead up to our big day, no question was too small and were so helpful (even providing a list of recommended local suppliers who had worked at the venue before ((all incredible). We viewed another venue nearby before, but our tour with Jess was so detailed and was reassured that the venue would make our day super special, there was no contest.
  
  Our wedding day being in Feb 2024, did mean that rain was very much a part of the day. But in all honestly, the views are so spectacular it really wouldn’t have matter what the weather was and this really came through in our photos. There are so many great spots to get those special couple shots on the grounds.
  
  The rooms were all amazing and our guests were very comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was a real treat and without requesting they even made a table for us all to sit together before our guests began their travels home.
  
  The day itself ran so smoothly and all the staff were so kind and helpful.
  
  Would 100% recommend!

  Upsetting and disappointing

  We booked this venue in 2023 after reading all the great reviews, little did we know it had just been taking over but different people. So as for all of the awards for fine dining ignore them! the food couldn’t have been worse how you can over cook a steak and serve it cold is beyond me. Soup was cold and poured over one of my guests and to top it off the next day at breakfast i had orange juice poured all over me. Most of the staff were really rude and we were made to feel like we were in the way constantly, not what you expect on your wedding day. We did only book the venue out till five so even though we had booked eight of our 16 rooms, we were then ushered out and told to go upstairs even though my stepchildren were playing a game of chess, they were told to carry it upstairs midway through their game, because the 2 other guests, we’re obviously more important then us. We were made to feel like we were just in the way the whole time we were there and that includes the night before where the steak was actually better than it was on my wedding day, we were told that they wouldn’t do a medium well steak because the chef wouldn’t cook a well done steak which is ironic considering mine came out overcooked when I’d asked for it to be rare. on the wedding day it wasn’t even a fillet steak which is what we had payed for, I would call it more of a medallion it was very poor. This was the feeling that all of my guest came away with, which is really upsetting that, thats how my wedding day is going be remembered. This is such a shame because the venue is absolutely beautiful and the views are stunning.

  The Horn Of Plenty's reply:

  We are really saddened to read this review and to see that you don't have a positive memory of your day. Our other reviews show that our couples do have a wonderful day with us and we are sorry that we missed the mark on this occasion. Unfortunately mistakes sometimes happen and when we know about them, we aim to sort them at the time so that small errors don't escalate. With an Afternoon (part day) Wedding an evening space is agreed for your use, perhaps your guests didn't understand this and we should have explained in a gentler way. We can only apologise and hope that in time you will be able to look back at the positives and joy of the day.

  Beautiful setting - wonderful day!

  We do not live locally to the venue so were doing everything by phone/email etc. But Shirna and her team were always responsive to messages and we always felt that our wedding was in 'safe hands' . Nothing was too much trouble for us or our guests - everyone was taken care of, including two elderly family members with wheelchairs. Our guests were so impressed with our choice of venue, and as the weather was so lovely, it made it just perfect. The views are stunning and the sunset was so beautiful down the valley.

  Fantastic all round

  The team at the Horn of Plenty were fantastic all the way through our wedding process, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and fun. It was clear from our first meeting that the team here was the most "on it" of all the venues we visited and they ensured everything ran as smoothly as possible on the day itself, from managing suppliers and setting up the venue to delivering amazing food and keeping us to time. The venue is also in a stunning location which delivered the perfect backdrop for our wedding.

  A magical day!

  We just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you did to make our day so special. From shouldering my wedding nerves and stress, to impeccable spreadsheet organisation, to donning wellies and wet weather gear to humour our bizarre outdoorsy needs, you guys were truly something special to behold. Everyone commented on how lovely, polite and efficient your team were. The food was on point, Michelin standard in our view, the organisation faultless, the surroundings just gorgeous, even more so in the rain! We had the most magical day, thank you to everyone who played their part to make our day so beautiful, from kitchen, to reception, to housekeeping to co- ordination. We are truly grateful. So many of guests want to return for their own romantic weekend away. We certainly will each year for our anniversary and all other special occasions, its become a favourite place of our family.
  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
