    Perfect day

    From our initial visit through to the actual reception date nothing was too much trouble.
    On the day Michelle was helping lacing me into my dress and stayed late to make sure the meal service was perfect.
    Stephanie kept us on track with her knowledge and past experience and informative emails.
    Our day was perfect and all our guests have said what a fantastic day!

    We got much more than we expected

    We had such a reasonably priced package, we didn't really expect too much. We were happy to have the space and know our guests would be fed. But oh boy, they hit it out of the park! So many guests told us over the following days how much they had enjoyed the food! And it really was delicious. Certainly as good as at any nice restaurant and our vegans, gluten free, and vegetarian guests were very happy with their meals.
    We sent everything for the tables up the day before with instructions and it was all laid out beautifully. They listened to us and went out of their way to accommodate our choice of arrival cocktails and our guests bringing pugs for overnight stays.

    We asked for as close to a food waste free event as possible and everything was stored and boxed for us to take home including several chicken dinners! We had left take away boxes and had great fun dropping of deliveries of cake and buffet leftovers to friends the next day.

    Everything was clean, staff were helpful and friendly, we had such an amazing time and Marks Tey really delivered on all fronts. We would highly recommend them.

    A great Disney themed wedding

    It was amazing and just perfect for us. We had a few additional items like a photo booth; the staff were very happy to help us plan where these would go. The staff would make space for anything we wanted. The room was set up just the way we wanted it, we were able to play our favourite music during the meal. They catered for people with allergies and dietary requirements. I was gluten free, had a great meal. However, I wasn’t catered for when we went for the menu tasting. Children were only given a 2 course meal instead of a 3 course meal but with orange juice as a starter which parents complained about. The disco was great, played all the music we wanted. A problem we had was some people weren’t aware of the cake cutting announcements and when slices were available. We had a lot of gifts given to us, so many the table got so full that people couldn’t see the guest book etc. When asked the hotel staff moved the gifts straight away to a locked room. We didn’t have to help clear up which was amazing. We were promised a memory box which we are yet to receive and its been 6 weeks. The communication before the wedding wasn’t great. One meeting was planned a few days before the wedding and the person wasn’t there, we met with others which was fine but seemed like they were not ready for us. The staff also ruined some of our messages when they were packing things away as they packed them with bubbles and the lids came off. All in all it was a great day. Everyone has said it was the best wedding they have been to.

    Amazing Day

    Dear Sharon and team

    Thank you so much for helping making our day on Saturday as amazing as it was.

    Everything went to plan and everyone had a good time.

    The room looked amazing from start to finish.

    The food was commented on on how good it was considering “it was a wedding”. So thank you.

    From the day we came to see you about booking our wedding you have been nothing but helpful and amazing. To have you there on the day made me feel happy.

    I can not thank you enough for all you did for us.

    5* and so much more.

    Serena and Michael
