Flawless - The perfect day

We had our wedding ceremony & reception at the Oaksmere & wow, the whole day from start to finish was flawless.
All the staff that dealt with our wedding were professional, friendly & attentive to every detail. They met every request we or a guest had instantly.
It was important to us to have our nearest & dearest stay onsite with us, the hotel was lovely & the rooms full of character.
The grounds of the Oaksmere are stunning, lots of different places for amazing photos.
The marquee itself is beautiful, large & a great blank canvas to set up, section off & decorate exactly how you want. Its set away from the hotel & overlooks the grounds, so we opted to have the sides open to create a beautiful outside feel to our wedding.
We have had nothing but compliments back about how amazing all the food was from start to finish. It was all delicious and to a high standard. The service was timed perfectly too.
We would give the Oaksmere 5 stars for our day & wish we could do it all over again!

Wonderful Day

Ana and her team were fantastic, nothing was too much for them. Our day was all the better for thier professionalism. The food was lovely, service was second to none. They definitely made our day very special. They accomodated disabled, elderly, small children and babies, special diets for a few guests was not a problem. Hats off to the chef!! Thank you All. x
