Wow.. where do we start!!!
We was lucky enough to get finally married at The Dreys on 5th June 2021 after many cancellations due to the lockdowns / COVID restrictions.
It was totally worth the wait!

We got engaged in December 2017 and found The Dreys at the beginning of 2018 after searching “woodland venue” on Google. This was our first venue to view and our last because it ended up to be everything we wanted.

We booked our wedding day for 29th May 2020.
From 2018 we got to know the venue owner Jackie really well, we had countless phone calls and meetings whilst we was planning our big day.
Suddenly Covid hit in March 2020 forcing us to cancel our wedding day. Jackie and the team couldn’t have been more helpful in this extremely stressful and upsetting situation.

Nothing was too much trouble, they booked us in as many new provisional dates possible to make sure we had lots of options and was there to talk to us and reassure us throughout.
No one could prepare us for the lengthy lockdowns that could then come forcing us to eventually re book 5th June 2021.

The year flew by and suddenly we was on top of June 2021 and finally about to get married!
Again after numerous calls with Jackie and the team we decided to go ahead with a 30 guest wedding.

We also got introduced to The Wedding Dolls, who were added onto our booking as part of the new package with The Dreys… and let me tell you they were a big added bonus!
The Dolls were so thorough and thoughtful with everything they did. I’m a bit of a control freak and I stress about things being perfect and all my little details being set out exactly how I wanted and envisioned them to be.
They listened and took notes and meetings and on the day got everything spot on. I couldn’t have done it better myself.

Jackie is one of the most kindest, selfless people I've ever met. Nothing and I mean nothing was too much trouble. Jackie allowed us to have the wedding day of our dreams and we’re so grateful for that.

The venue is out of this world! And has improved massively through the efforts of the owners since we first viewed it back in 2018. They have worked tirelessly through lockdown to keep adding to the venue so that us brides and grooms can have the perfect day after lockdown!
The improvements on the ceremony area with the toilets & floor extension worked so well.

We were lucky enough to have gorgeous weather on our day but the venue are completely covered for all weather. They have a huge main marque and a drinks tent, the ceremony/ dance floor area is all sheltered.

Before the day I felt completely relaxed knowing that The Dreys and The Dolls had got everything coveted.
And on the day we was not disappointed in any way.
Nothing could have gone better, the venue looked amazing, the guests all loved it.
Having a small intimate 30 person wedding was one of the best decisions we made. The venue is huge but the way it’s laid out made us feel so together and like there somehow was 50 people.

The staff on the day went above and beyond for us and our guests. The bar staff and the morning breakfast ladies all couldn’t have done more or been friendlier.
In the evening the Gio and his bar staff went round and asked if guests needed blankets or drinks.
We was having photos and Gio brought us over some
Prosecco. They updated us on the money we put behind the bar and made sure drinks were flowing all
day and night!

Out of everything that’s happened recently with covid.. for this one day us and our 28 guests were allowed to feel truly happy and carefree.
The team had all COVID rules under control and hand sanitisers were at all the entrances.
Even though COVID rules had to be followed we didn’t feel restricted, and we feel the Dreys managed to somehow get that just right!!

We can’t recommend this venue enough, we’re so sad it’s all over but so extremely grateful for what we had.
Our wedding day wouldn’t have been what it was without The Dreys, Jackie, Kathleen & Natalie. Thank you all so much!! Cannot wait to visit in the future!! Mr & Mrs Baker xx

We had our festival wedding / hand fasting here. It was the most magical venue to get married in.
Every little detail was perfect!
Superb for pictures the land/ area just keeps giving with its beauty.
It feels very private and secluded once you are there which we felt gave an extra special feel to the weekend.
We would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Absolutely amazing day at this beautiful venue for my best friends wedding.
Thanks to Jackie, Dave, Jo and everyone else for all your hard work! Xx

A breath taking venue. Thank you for ensuring that everything was in place and supported us bridesmaids.
Would totally reccomend this to other brides to be and looking forward to visiting again for a reunion

We are still on a high after our wedding at The Dreys back in April (appologies for the late review!). From the initial planning stage, Jackie and the team were absolutely fantastic and guided us (a pretty much clueless bride and groom to be) through the process in the most stress- free manner possible. In the final weeks, they managed to get the venue looking beautiful in spite of the snow delaying their preparations. Wen we arrived to see the venue in early April, we were thrilled to see the transformation into a georgous setting for our wedding; Jo did an amazing making the shelter and marquee look stunning, and the whole team made sure everything went smoothly. Even in April with no leaves on the trees, the woodland setting was magical and we, along with our guests, had the most wonderful day. The Dreys is a very special place. Thank you!

We had our wedding here in August and the Venue is beautiful. The staff on the day were brilliant at working round the rain. Nothing went to plan because of the weather but it really didn’t matter. Had an amazing day and everyone enjoyed themselves.

We have just stepped back into reality so wanted to contact you both to say a huge Thank you!
We had the most perfect day and want to make sure you both aware that we appreciate everything you (and the team) done for us on the day.
Our friends and family are still raving about it and so pleased with how it all worked out.
Thank you once again, looking forward to returning soon!

Hi Dreys
First of all, I would like to thank you all so much for making my daughter Charlie have the most amazing, memorable wedding EVER!
Just the most perfect venue, staff etc plus we were blessed with the most wonderful weather!!

We had an incredible wedding here! Enjoyed every moment - even if it did rain all day! Huge thanks to Jackie, Jo and Team xxx

As the Mother of the groom I may be a little biased, but this truly was the most spectacular and magical wedding venue. It had been left as a surprise until the big day and left most guests almost speechless as they took in all that it had to offer, from the entrance pathway through the wood, which later became lit by an entrancing selection of wonderful coloured lights, to a large swing, wonderful Glamping in a wild flower meadow and a pathway of flickering tea lights leading down to the campfire - a last treat to enjoy was whilst wrapped up in a blanket under the stars. The following morning we were allowed to peek into the bridal accommodation, created with great imagination and such attention to detail!
A huge well done to David and Jackie, in these hectic, busy times, for creating such a special, different wedding experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed Jo and Sergiis wedding celebration at The Dreys in Squirrel Wood. Staff worked very hard to keep us happy despite very wet weather. It was magical, good fun and a wedding we won’t forget.

Our daughter got married here recently. And what a day it was. I can not thank the team at The Dreys enough for making her dreams come true. It was everything and more, the whole day was a magical fairy tale and felt very personal. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff are very welcoming. The accommodation is excellent and quirky & fits in with the surroundings. Lots of different seating areas to enjoy the atmosphere. Absolutely loved it this venue is 100% bang on. Just a shame it was all over so quick. Would completely recommended The Dreys. Xxx
