Service above and beyond for my special day

From our first guided tour we immediately made our mind up that The Master Builders would be our wedding venue. Laura and her staff were very professional. Constantly putting us at ease. Nothing was too much and had incredible patience. The venue was perfect for us. The weather was good on the day so last minute relocation to our ceremony under the oak tree in the garden made it very special. Thank you so much all the staff at The Master Builders. .

Fairy Tale Wedding

A unique hotel in a beautiful location offering exclusive use of the hotel for a wedding. The entire team at the Master Builders went above and beyond to make our wedding a fairy tale come true. Laura, the wedding co-ordinator, organised everything we wanted: we wanted our wedding ceremony under a Chuppah in the garden, to provide our guests with afternoon tea before the ceremony, we wanted several menu choices for guests for the wedding breakfast.
The food was wonderful. But what made it so special was the way the staff looked after us all. Unobtrusive, but there whenever we needed them. It was like being cared for by special friends.

Perfect intimate venue with amazing staff.

We didn’t go and see many wedding venue we knew almost instantly that The Master Builder’s House was the perfect venue for us. It was cozy and had the perfect autumnal vibe we were searching for. Ana and Laura were fantastic through the planning process and were really flexible in terms of making our day exactly what we wanted. They were really responsive and made us feel like our wedding was really important and not just one of a number of weddings they were hosting this year.
On the day the team were all fantastic it’s a really well oiled machine. Everything went so smoothly and was so stress free meaning we just got to enjoy our wedding day. There were lots of extra little special touches that just made the day feel really magical.
We couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough. They really helped us have the perfect day.

Amazing venue!

We would thoroughly recommend the master builders as a wedding venue. Not only is the venue lovely and offers a picturesque setting and photo opportunities by the water it also has a variety of packages to suit budgets. We had loads of options to choose from and could create our ideal day! Laura (wedding coordinator) was amazing and helped us throughout with the help of Ana. Their knowledge and expertise was fundamental in the run up and they were also amazing on the day, coordinating suppliers and flow of our schedule. We loved that our guests could stay at the venue and we had space for most of the guests meaning we could extend our wedding by dining the night before and having breakfast together the morning after our wedding. Food was lovely and the options were great and gave us a really wide choice to create our perfect menu. We had THE best day and so did all of our guests. Cannot recommend them enough!

Our Special Day

We had our wedding at the Master Builders in September and would highly recommend there. We were looking for a venue with character in a beautiful setting with an intimate feel and this venue was perfect. Laura and Ana were amazing to deal with leading up to our special day, helping us plan the day and letting us change the package they were offering to include different options we wanted. On the day the amazing Lizzie was in charge and with the help of Ashley made the day run smoothly so that we didn’t have to worry about anything. She kept me so relaxed and was so easy to deal with. The Master Builders is perfect for an intimate wedding in a beautiful setting. Emma & Alan

Our wedding - 9/8/24

We were lucky enough to have our evening wedding reception at a family barn, so wanted to have our ceremony and afternoon at The Master Builders, and they were so accommodating and happy to adapt their usual package to ensure our day was bespoke to us. The ceremony was perfect, with beautiful views across the Beaulieu river, and the afternoon was even better, with canapés and drinks in the garden. The staff looked after us all so well, ensuring we were fed well and our glasses were topped up. They were also extremely helpful in the lead up to the wedding. I would definitely recommend this venue for a wedding!

Friendly and professional

We both had the most amazing day, and just about all of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was.

We would certainly rate both the venue and the service as a 5/5, we couldn’t have wished for a better day.
Every member of staff we dealt with were friendly and professional and made us all feel very welcome.

We would like to thank our Wedding Coordinator for all her support and the fantastic job she did in helping us have the wedding day that we wanted and helping it all come together perfectly on the day. The restaurant manager was also brilliant!
