Our Perfect Day

From the very beginning Kathleen went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. Nothing was too much trouble and she offered her knowledge and expertise with all the planning.
On the day all the staff were spot on and as a result the whole day went without a hitch.
If you’re looking for a wedding venue we cannot recommend The Ashburnham Hotel enough.
Thank you Kathleen and team for your professionalism and for making it such an enjoyable and amazing experience.

Absolutely fantastic

From the moment we started wedding planning, the ashburnham caught me eye. I went to view and there and then put my deposit down, communication was amazing , whenever I was flapping over something I would phone and Cathy would put my mind and ease. Lead up to the day is stressful but Cathy was so supportive. The wedding went perfect no blips what so ever. My bride tribe and myself stayed the night before and we were able to set up bits before hand. The girls were amazing helping moving everything.
I also say a big thank you to the ladies who were cleaning the rooms they went above and beyond, they helped me move a lot of stuff to different rooms , I had 8 teenage girls as bridesmaids so if u have teenagers u can imagine their stuff were everywhere.
The food was absolutely stunning to the chef and his team done amazing I'm a pain as I'm gluten and dairy free and the food was absolutely stunning. Nothing was to much trouble every one of my guests are still talking about the food now even the buffet was incredible I was only expecting a small buffet there was ample of food there.
All my guests said how laid back and relaxed the whole day was it was just perfect.
I can't recommend the ashburnham enough. Communication was spot on, stress free, food was spot on, it was just absolutely perfect

Great personal service!

Could not recomend the Ashburnham more highly, great professional service and attention to detail, the staff were brilliant. We hired a singer/guitarist for the garden area after the service and fortunately the weather responded, everyone said what a great day it was!

Perfect Day

The venue was perfect for a family wedding, we had a large number of children and family traveling distance to the wedding.
We felt the support on the lead up to the day was amazing, wedding planner was well experienced and able to answer all of our questions and make us feel at ease. Both the hotel and wedding planner had great partnership with both florist and cake suppliers and made the planning seamless and day run well.
On the day we were total relaxed the day run seamlessly from morning till end. All staff on hand to support and all guests extremely happy and was magical day. Would highly recommend.

A wonderful weekend

We had a wonderful wedding day at The Ashburnham hotel. Sue and the team were brilliant in helping us with all the details to make a fantastic day. Right from the start we were helped to plan our special day.
This was a difficult year for planning a wedding with covid restrictions, but the staff were flexible and helped us to get the best occasion within the rules.
The food was delicious and enjoyed by all.
As it was a small wedding most of our guests were able to stay comfortably in the hotel accommodation also enjoying a lovely breakfast. Some of our guests stayed the whole weekend and it was great to catchup with friends and family the evening before the big day.
All in all a lovely weekend of family and friends.

The best day of our lives!!

We had the most amazing, beautiful wedding day at the Ash on the 25th June - We postponed from March and the whole team couldn’t do more for us despite such difficult times for them with regulations, the day before we had rooms to stay all ready for us and the rooms were clean and tidy and the whole service from start to finish on the special day was more than we could have dreamed possible!
The food was delicious and hot and the service was second to none, nothing was too much trouble from the first appointment in Jan 2020 to the wedding day itself!
Every email was replied to within mins and every call was professional and friendly.
The guests told us despite the virus and numbers limited it was the best wedding they’d been too!
The room looked amazing and we were so glad we listened to recommendations of friends who had also married here to go for this venue.

Couldn't have wished for a better wedding day!

I honestly had the most perfect day thanks to the Ashburnham Hotel. Everything ran smoothly with sue and suw in charge. I was always kept in the loop and felt so at ease. The food was amazing both in the morning and at my wedding breakfast. Even the vegetarians amongst my guests said the food was out of this world. The rooms were comfortable and clean. For the package price I paid for the day what I got for it what phenomenal! I would highly recommend this as a venue.

Wedding on 17/08/24

Thank you to all at The Ashburnham Horel in Bury Port. We had my Sons wedding there on 17/08/24. It was fantastic. Our wedding planner Kathleen did a brilliant job of making our son and daughter in laws day very special. We couldn’t have asked for a better day..
all 75 guests enjoyed the fabulous 3 course meal and the tapas buffet in the evening. We highly recommend this venue which offered us exclusivety Friday and Saturday and all 12 bedrooms for the bridal party.
The bedrooms were clean and comfortable as was the hotel reception areas. Dinner and breakfasts were excellent. Thank you all once again.

From the first meeting with our wedding planner to the end of the celebrations everything went so smoothly. We were made to feel comfortable and at home. The staff were brilliant. The planning that went in to our day was exceptional. The food was fantastic there wasn't one complaint. The ashburnham made our day so special.

Dissapointing for some part, mostly great!

I was very upset to be kicked out of the room I was getting ready in, less than a hour before I walked down the isle, this was not mentioned previous to the day. I then had to move all of my things into another room leaving me 20 minutesA lot of the guests commented on how unapproachable/miserable the wedding planner was during the day. Which I agree a smile wouldn't have gone a miss. 6 days before the wedding I was asked if I minded staying in a family room on my wedding night so the lady who was getting married the day after us could have the bridal suite on OUR wedding night as well as her own! I was quite taken back by this, we paid for a package that included the bridal suite, I couldn't believe we were asked this!
We did have a lovely day apart from these issues, the food was amazing and the rest of the staff were great. The package was a good deal. Just wish my morning was not so stressful and the wedding planner was more friendly on the day, I understand the stress she would be under but it was a wedding not a funeral!

Outstanding

I got married here in may 2022, the staff were amazing throughout the planning right up to the day. The day was perfect, the staff were helpful and the food was outstanding. The grounds were beautiful this time of year also. Thankyou to the staff for helping to make our special day perfect. They also kept things safe and offered to help set up the morning of, only I had made the centre pieces by hand along with the place cards and favour boxes so was determined to set these out myself . All guests were happy and said they had a comfortable sleep and a great breakfast the next day .

Fantastic service

We cannot recommend the Ashburnham hotel enough. They went above and beyond to make our wedding day the best day ever. Nothing was too much trouble and they accommodated the dietary needs of all the guests as we had a couple with serious food allergies. The whole day went smoothly and the package we had for our big day made our wedding so affordable
