Hello Frankie,
Chris and I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help in ensuring everything went to plan last Sunday; from replying to our many questions via email over the last three years, always being at the end of the phone, to ensuring the numerous dietary requirements our…

guests had would be catered for.
We can’t thank you and the villa team enough, our meal was beautiful and lots of people commented and said it was the best roast they’d ever had and that the dessert exceeded their expectations. We couldn’t have wished for a better day and we are so grateful to yourself and the team who always went the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect on the day.

Please pass our thanks to the whole team, everyone worked so hard in giving us the best day, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. And the food in particular was amazing!!
Also, thank you for all your help with everything, you’ve been very helpful and patient when I was probably worrying about things I didn’t need to worry about!!
Hope to see you again soon,
All our Love

Hello Hannah and all of the team at The Italian Villa,

Thank you to you personally for all of your support and enthusiasm through the preparations. It was lovely to always get your upbeat and positive responses during any conversation.
We were really impressed with how organised everyone was and how easy it was to deliver and collect everything.
Thank you to all once again. It was a brilliant day.

Apologies for the late thank you message, we’ve just got back from our honeymoon and wanted to say a very big Thank You to all the staff at the Italian Villa!

amazing! Thank you for helping us plan such a magical day. Special thanks to Frankie, who always replied to our long lists of questions so efficiently and in great detail!
Also, a special thanks to Stephanie our events coordinator on the day. Stephanie ensured our day was ran as smooth as possible, guiding and helping us with the speech announcements and our chinese tea ceremony preparations.
We’ve received endless comments on how beautiful the garden was, and how amazing the food and service was. Our guests felt cared for and we all had a fantastic day!
We couldn't thank you all enough for creating our magical perfect day, it felt like a dream!

Hi Frankie,
We absolutely cannot thank you enough for everything you did with the lead up to the day. It has been an absolute pleasure from the moment we met Cait to view the Italian Villa until the end of our big day.
The venue looked stunning and I can’t believe how lucky we were with…

the weather! All the staff were friendly and helpful, the food was amazing and everything was so well organised.
Stephanie was fantastic on the day too!
Also, I must thank Lily as I also spoke with her several times leading up to the day and she was always so friendly and was always nice to have a little chat when I called to arrange payments.
It has been a real pleasure and I just couldn’t have wished for a better setting but most importantly we appreciate all the help and efforts of those involved, that is really what makes the day run smoothly and ultimately a day we won’t forget!

Thank you so much! We’ve just been in our little post-wedding/honeymoon bubble since the day and it’s been amazing! Back to work & reality today though! The day was absolutely incredible & we cannot thank you & the team enough for making everything so perfect for us and our guests.

was fantastic on the day & made us all feel at ease. She listened to everything on the handover day & everything was exactly how we wanted (if not better!) It was so nice to enjoy the day with each other and our guests as everything was just sorted for us. The food was exceptional & there wasn’t one guest who didn’t comment on how incredible the wedding breakfast & evening food was! You even made our guests with allergies thoroughly enjoy their meal!
A huge thank you again for working so hard to make our special day so perfect.

Mr & Mrs Hunt
Hi Frankie,
We just wanted to say a HUGE thankyou to you and the team at the Villa for helping us achieve our dream wedding! From day one you have been on hand for every query no matter how big or small - and we've had plenty of queries! You've been so helpful and reassuring, and always responded…
Read More
efficiently. We feel we've in good hands every step of the way!
Our day event manager Stephanie was also super helpful and made sure to talk us through every detail. She took on board every single note I gave her during our handover meeting, and the items I left her were all laid out exactly as I'd hoped. She was on hand throughout the day for any questions or extra bits of help - and made sure that we took 10 quiet minutes to eat a few canapes and have a drink between the ceremony and breakfast - and this was definitely something that we needed! She never once got flustered and her relaxed and efficient demeanour helped to keep us calm too.
Amanda, our night event manager, was equally as cool calm and collected. Not without a smile throughout the evening, she was on hand at any given point for support. She also did the most outstanding job, alongside her colleague (his name escapes me I do apologise!), at packing up all of our items, gifts, cards, and flowers to take with us at the end of the night. Everything was packaged neatly and carefully and this was a godsend after a long (and boozy) day!
Our guests were blown away by the venue, but we have also received numerous feedback that the food provided by Beales was the best wedding food they have ever had. The vegan guests were in shock at the quality of the vegan dishes - my aunt said it was the best vegan meal she has ever had and even sent her thanks to the chef on the day. The wine was also particularly well received! Our thanks go out to every single member of staff who was involved in the day.
We can't thank you all enough for helping us to have the most incredible day!

Good morning Frankie!
We have just returned from honeymoon and wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone at The Italian Villa. I know everyone says their wedding day was the best day, but ours truly was the most perfect day, and a lot of that is down to you guys!
From the planning, up until…

the very last moments of the day, we were blown away with how organised, helpful and friendly the team at the Villa were.
We wanted to thank you Frankie for being so helpful during the planning. Every question I had, no matter how small, was answered quickly & always full of enthusiasm! It really helped make the wedding planning stress free & enjoyable.
On the day, Stephanie ensured everything ran smoothly. Everyone commented on how friendly & helpful Stephanie was. During our photos she made sure Rory & I were never without a drink & had canapés brought over to us so that we didn’t miss out! The small details like this really make a difference!
All our guests commented on how beautiful the villa is, and how amazing the food was...From the canapés & wedding breakfast, to the evening BBQ, it was all delicious!
We couldn’t thank you all enough for making our wedding day so special. It was everything we dreamed of and more!

whole day went so smoothly and we’d like to thank Stephenie who was absolutely incredible as our event manager, nothing was ever too much trouble for her.
Our guests also highly complimented the food on the day, from the canapés to the wedding breakfast, it really was delicious so a big thank you to the waiters/waitresses and all the kitchen staff.
And finally, we would like to thank you Hannah for all the help you have given us in the lead up to the wedding. Any questions we had were always answered so quickly and clearly and we always felt in good hands with you.
Thank you for hosting the wedding of our dreams and we only wish we could do it all over again!

I wanted to write this while it is all still fresh in my mind.

just so nice. Nothing seemed too much trouble and I was treated and allowed myself to act like a princess!! Steph did a fabulous job of looking after us (big thank you Steph) and there was a young barman who just took amazing care of me, running around and making sure I had the drink I wanted. If you are able to track him down please give him big thank you from me (dark hair and glasses).
Frankie, you and all other staff I liaised with in the planning of the day were brilliant and made it so much easier for me. I never felt awkward asking you a question or changing my mind on something.
I can see why the venue and its staff win awards!
Thank you again

co-ordinate all the finer details of the day and was patient throughout the many discussions and emails that were needed to make the day magical.
Upon arrival we were greeted by the Italian Villa staff, who were very efficient and were responsive to enquires and requests. The building is pleasant but deceiving, as it looks smaller from the outside. Signposting was ample, letting everyone know where to go.
On the day we were honoured to be looked after by Drew, what can be said other than OUTSTANDING. Both myself, my husband and our guests felt his attention to detail was noteworthy. He ensured place cards, favours, cake, décor etc were perfect, and he co-ordinated the timing of the event with efficiency and grace. He sought out the master of ceremonies and liaised with him to ensure that everything would run smoothly throughout the day. Knowing the venue well, he advised the photographer on the best places to take group shots and helped rally the family and guest into position. One of the highlights were the little surprises and attention to detail found throughout the day that I know Drew had a hand in.
The drinks reception was organised to perfection and all our guests were fed and watered whilst they waited to take photos or to go into the wedding breakfast.
A huge thank you to Beales Gourmet, the food was delectable and full of flavour. The creamy celeriac soup with smoked cheddar cheese and truffle oil, which was sumptuous and was food elegance! Followed by thyme chicken with lashing of gravy, sounds simple, tasted sublime! Vegetarian option was Mushroom Wellington, which people are still raving about! Finally, the lemon posset, which finished off an amazing menu!

no question (even though she had probably been asked it a thousand times before) was too much trouble and she always replied quickly and with help and advice for the day. Our event staff, Steph, Drew and Shannon were all incredibly friendly, helpful and always had our best interests at heart on the day and we really appreciate how much they looked after us, we trusted that everything was running smoothly under their supervision and didn’t have to worry about a thing – thank you!! The gardens (despite the 9 degrees in April) were stunning and to have photos in such a beautiful location was wonderful and we even managed to sneak down to the beach too. All our guests have commented on how great the food was and how they catered to all dietary requirements with no fuss at all. The Italian Villa truly is a magical place to have such a special and memorable day – it will always have a place in our hearts. Thank you SO much again – The McKenzie’s xx

around the clock with the planning. A special thank you to Frankie, her patience and communication skills were fantastic- thank you Frankie for everything! Nothing is too much to ask, and they are extremely experienced and offer their advice on what works best, to ensure you have the best day. The venue is outstanding, not just the beautiful gardens, but the inside venue covering three floors is stylish, classy and classic. The food provided from Beales Gourmet is out of this world! Our guests have nothing but praise for the food and it’s the best around! We added the additional £5pp to offer our guests menu choices, we are pleased we took this package. Our events manager on the day was a lovely, man called Drew. Drew was attentive, fun, organised, and relaxed. He ran the day so smoothly and ensured we were all taken care of with food, drinks and laughing. He was the cherry on the top for our day, another special thank you to Drew. We can not recommend the Italian Villa as a wedding location enough. There’s isn’t anything more you could want in a venue, team and caterer. Our day was magical!! Love the Howgate’s x

amazing. The food was also outstanding. I was a little worried that some of my guests would not appreciate a fully vegan menu but so many of them came up to me and commented how amazing and delicious the food was. The vegetable pakoras seemed to be a particular highlight for a lot of people.
Thank you again for all your support. From the moment we first enquired the help and support we have been given has been absolutely outstanding and we are now a very happy married couple. :-)

particular was perfect). After booking we started our consultations with the event managers. (In particular Frankie, who was a pleasure to liaise with). Considering the potential stresses involved with organising a wedding all of the team were amazing. Nothing was too much or too small and we never felt silly for asking any question.
Then onto the day itself. Our ‘handover meeting’ was the night before, where we met Aphra who would be managing the day for us. Aphra completely put us at ease and had everything in hand. From this point on and during the day itself if we thought we needed anything Aphra already had it sorted. Even including organising a few minutes to be on our own. I also have to mention the food. To produce that quality for 100 guests was incredible. So many guests told us it was the best food they have had. In the evening Darius took over seamlessly and continued the extraordinary service until our day finished.
I truly can not recommend the venue and the staff enough. It is so easy to see why they win awards here. Thank you all so much for helping make our day perfect.

helpful, friendly, professional...I could easily go on! I'd usually say that there is always room for improvement, but we can honestly say that we couldn't think of a single thing you needed to have done to improve our day.
We really feel that you helped us to have the most magical day and both of us have been on cloud nine ever since. I actually don't think I can find the words to emphasise to you, how much the Italian Villa surpassed our expectations of the day - and they were pretty high to begin with!
Many if not all of our guests commented on the delicious food, helpful and friendly staff and complimented us on our choice of venue. Please could you pass on a particularly big thank you to Drew and Candice (I hope her leg is on the mend).
We would not hesitate in recommending you to anyone looking for a venue for their wedding and once again thank you for an incredible, once in a life time, day to remember!

On behalf of my partner Sam and I we would like to say a huge thank you to all of the team at the Italian Villa and Beales Gourmet. We really can't explain just how fantastic the whole planning process has been. Since the first moment we visited, we have been given such high-quality service; we…

showed up with no notice and were given an excellent tour which immediately secured our decision. From that day forward we have received fast and regular communication which was so easy as you emailed us and we could plan and make decisions together in the evenings without calls during our working day. The attention to detail really made such a difference, whether organising our menu and catering for every single dietary need or writing down every plan during the stationary handover, all of the staff gave us their time and understanding.
When the day came I was so excited to see all of the ideas and plans come together so effectively. Aphra was absolutely superb and gave us the support we needed so that we were not overwhelmed but made sure that we had time to be together. Our friends and family were treated as part of the process and were listened to, with every request being met. The service was so professional whilst feeling personal and relaxed, meaning we could enjoy the day with our guests. I even had a tray of canapes brought to me by Aphra whilst being photographed in the gardens which was so thoughtful! Aphra was also brilliant at guiding our own MC without 'stepping on his toes'and made sure that everything ran smoothly despite the copious glasses of prosecco!
The food was so well cooked and every single person I spoke to mentioned how delicious it was and how beautiful it looked on the plate (particularly dessert!). I knew that this would be a highlight as Beales Gourmet have such a brilliant reputation...
You have really made our dreams come true and we are so sad it is now over!
Thank you so much,
The new Mr and Mrs Clarkson

We had originally chosen the villa based on a recommendation. The daughter of one of my dad's friends had tied the knot there a few years ago and they could not rate the Villa highly enough.
After the initial show round with Frankie on a cold drizzly day in January, we were wowed by the venue and…
Read More
knew it was the one for us.
As someone who works in events, my expectations were high, but I can say all expectations were exceeded.
All communication in the lead-up was extremely professional, prompt and vigilant. Nothing was too much trouble and I never felt I was hassling Frankie with my numerous emails back and forth.
Aphra and Ross on the day were also fantastic. Meeting with Aphra the day before completely put my mind at rest and I felt confident in leaving all my wedding bits with her to set-up.
One of my main concerns in the run-up was the weather which was so silly as it's not in anyone's control, I wish I'd spent less time worrying about that. I so desperately wanted to have the drinks reception outside to make use of the gardens and booking in June we hoped it would be the case. Luckily it was and we had the most perfect weather.
Everything just ran so smoothly and all the staff couldn't do enough for us and all our guests. Food was delicious, and after choosing a main course that we hadn't tried at our tasting, we were a bit nervous. But we needn't have been and as I went around the room to speak to all the guests after dinner, every single plate was completely cleared. It was delicious.
The evening was great fun, unfortunately, our band were not as good as hoped, so a piece of advice would be to always try and see the band in action before booking, Do not base it on website videos and online reviews.
Overall our day was a dream and certainly the day we had hoped for...and so much more. A big part of that was down to the villa and the team behind it so a huge THANKS must go to them.

too much trouble, you answered my emails promptly and were always so kind and helpful. When the handover was completed the day before Aphra was amazing she listened to everything and got everything absolutely perfect. She was so helpful and greeting us with glasses of champagne after the ceremony was a welcome delight.
Everyone absolutely LOVED the food, Beales Gourmet were amazing the menu tasting right through to the food on the day was perfect we had so many compliments!
The venue is just absolutely PERFECT, obviously I’m biased because I’m lucky enough to be a supplier, knowing a lot of the staff already you’re all so friendly and helping and nothing is ever too much. It didn’t feel as though we had people working to make the day perfect it felt more like being surrounded by more family and friends, the entire team from the bar staff to the kitchen to yourself and Aphra dealing with me & Adam direct were outstanding. Drew in the evening was so accommodating and made sure everything carried on running smoothly.
It’s clear to see why The Italian Villa win so many awards, you’re the best at what you do! You all work as a team and that’s why it works, it’s seamless.
We can not express our thanks enough.

I think every guest has commented on how lovely the day was, how smoothly it went and how relaxed the atmosphere was. The venue was even better than we had imagined - it truly is the perfect wedding venue and the gardens, although in March looked fantastic. The food and table service was impeccable, our menu choices were lovely and the quality was outstanding.

team like that at the Villa was invaluable.
From the early enquiries to the general set up, then the fine tuning and detailed requests, and the running of the actual day, absolutely nothing was too much trouble. We asked for a lot of custom bits and bobs, had a lot of children to consider, and even had a slight upset on the day when the bride’s father forgot his suit trousers (causing a delay for a quick shopping trip), but everything was taken in their stride and was perfectly sorted for our special day.
Special mention #1 to Matt who was loads of help in the approach phases and who walked us through the day when we had our menu tasting, and when we separately met with our DJ on site. Really helpful and had some good advice for us and the DJ. Along with all the support by email from Cait and the team, as thoughts and questions occurred these steps made the planning easy.
On the day the venue looked and felt special, the service to both the bride and groom’s parties was fantastic and we were never left waiting to ask a question, as there were always folks on hand to help with any little thing. Whether that was checking on arrangements or sorting the Dutch courage! Special mention #2 to Grace who was absolutely exemplary in her event management both in meeting and running through with us the day before, and then so invaluably on the day. Both we and our guests were very grateful that she was all over everything, even finding time to set up the 20+ kids is a separate room during the speeches!
The food was amazing and praised by all. Difficult requests in the run up were sorted without quibble, and the staff even steered a difficult family member away from overtly fussy martyrdom

stationary and decorations down where we met Grace who was going to be our events coordinator for the actual day and straight away she put us at ease and promised she would be wherever was needed and always around to show us where we need to be or what we needed to do.
The day itself went perfectly and so much of this was down to Grace. The second we needed anything she was always there and made it that we had no stress on the day and she even made sure we had a glass of bubbly and our very own tray of canapés. By the end of the day we felt she was more like one of our guests!
The food was absolutely delicious and we had so many people comment on the main course, which in the end we went for the lamb.The staff bringing out the food were also fantastic and so professional. It started to rain during our drinks reception and so people went inside but the staff were so good at calmly and quickly bringing everything in we barely noticed. So even a bit of rain couldn't ruin our day.
So on behalf on my new husband and I, we would like to thank you all so much for everything you did to make our day so special.

We got married at the Italian Villa on 29th December 2015. Everything was superb! The venue, the staff, the food. The food here is exceptional, even the fussiest of guests loved it! If only Beales Catering had a restaurant! The whole experience from start to finish was handled very professionally…

and swiftly by all the team at the Italian Villa. Nothing was too difficult and everything was well thought out. Everything that we had worried about, the Villa already had a solution for. The events manager on the day made sure everything ran smoothly. We had a number kosher guests, this was not a problem and the Italian Villa coordinated with the outside catering and made the kosher guests feel very special, even including their own menu. We recommend using the preferred suppliers. They have a close working relationship with the Villa and everything was arranged behind the scenes without any need for us to co-ordinate. Thank you so much all the team at the Italian Villa!

Our day event manager Stephanie was also super helpful and made sure to talk us through every detail. She took on board every single note I gave her during our handover meeting, and the items I left her were all laid out exactly as I'd hoped. She was on hand throughout the day for any questions or extra bits of help - and made sure that we took 10 quiet minutes to eat a few canapes and have a drink between the ceremony and breakfast - and this was definitely something that we needed! She never once got flustered and her relaxed and efficient demeanour helped to keep us calm too.
Amanda, our night event manager, was equally as cool calm and collected. Not without a smile throughout the evening, she was on hand at any given point for support. She also did the most outstanding job, alongside her colleague (his name escapes me I do apologise!), at packing up all of our items, gifts, cards, and flowers to take with us at the end of the night. Everything was packaged neatly and carefully and this was a godsend after a long (and boozy) day!
Our guests were blown away by the venue, but we have also received numerous feedback that the food provided by Beales was the best wedding food they have ever had. The vegan guests were in shock at the quality of the vegan dishes - my aunt said it was the best vegan meal she has ever had and even sent her thanks to the chef on the day. The wine was also particularly well received! Our thanks go out to every single member of staff who was involved in the day.
We can't thank you all enough for helping us to have the most incredible day!

All our guests commented on how beautiful the villa is, and how amazing the food was...From the canapés & wedding breakfast, to the evening BBQ, it was all delicious!

Upon arrival we were greeted by the Italian Villa staff, who were very efficient and were responsive to enquires and requests. The building is pleasant but deceiving, as it looks smaller from the outside. Signposting was ample, letting everyone know where to go.
On the day we were honoured to be looked after by Drew, what can be said other than OUTSTANDING. Both myself, my husband and our guests felt his attention to detail was noteworthy. He ensured place cards, favours, cake, décor etc were perfect, and he co-ordinated the timing of the event with efficiency and grace. He sought out the master of ceremonies and liaised with him to ensure that everything would run smoothly throughout the day. Knowing the venue well, he advised the photographer on the best places to take group shots and helped rally the family and guest into position. One of the highlights were the little surprises and attention to detail found throughout the day that I know Drew had a hand in.
The drinks reception was organised to perfection and all our guests were fed and watered whilst they waited to take photos or to go into the wedding breakfast.
A huge thank you to Beales Gourmet, the food was delectable and full of flavour. The creamy celeriac soup with smoked cheddar cheese and truffle oil, which was sumptuous and was food elegance! Followed by thyme chicken with lashing of gravy, sounds simple, tasted sublime! Vegetarian option was Mushroom Wellington, which people are still raving about! Finally, the lemon posset, which finished off an amazing menu!

Then onto the day itself. Our ‘handover meeting’ was the night before, where we met Aphra who would be managing the day for us. Aphra completely put us at ease and had everything in hand. From this point on and during the day itself if we thought we needed anything Aphra already had it sorted. Even including organising a few minutes to be on our own. I also have to mention the food. To produce that quality for 100 guests was incredible. So many guests told us it was the best food they have had. In the evening Darius took over seamlessly and continued the extraordinary service until our day finished.
I truly can not recommend the venue and the staff enough. It is so easy to see why they win awards here. Thank you all so much for helping make our day perfect.

We really feel that you helped us to have the most magical day and both of us have been on cloud nine ever since. I actually don't think I can find the words to emphasise to you, how much the Italian Villa surpassed our expectations of the day - and they were pretty high to begin with!
Many if not all of our guests commented on the delicious food, helpful and friendly staff and complimented us on our choice of venue. Please could you pass on a particularly big thank you to Drew and Candice (I hope her leg is on the mend).
We would not hesitate in recommending you to anyone looking for a venue for their wedding and once again thank you for an incredible, once in a life time, day to remember!

When the day came I was so excited to see all of the ideas and plans come together so effectively. Aphra was absolutely superb and gave us the support we needed so that we were not overwhelmed but made sure that we had time to be together. Our friends and family were treated as part of the process and were listened to, with every request being met. The service was so professional whilst feeling personal and relaxed, meaning we could enjoy the day with our guests. I even had a tray of canapes brought to me by Aphra whilst being photographed in the gardens which was so thoughtful! Aphra was also brilliant at guiding our own MC without 'stepping on his toes'and made sure that everything ran smoothly despite the copious glasses of prosecco!
The food was so well cooked and every single person I spoke to mentioned how delicious it was and how beautiful it looked on the plate (particularly dessert!). I knew that this would be a highlight as Beales Gourmet have such a brilliant reputation...
You have really made our dreams come true and we are so sad it is now over!
Thank you so much,

As someone who works in events, my expectations were high, but I can say all expectations were exceeded.
All communication in the lead-up was extremely professional, prompt and vigilant. Nothing was too much trouble and I never felt I was hassling Frankie with my numerous emails back and forth.
Aphra and Ross on the day were also fantastic. Meeting with Aphra the day before completely put my mind at rest and I felt confident in leaving all my wedding bits with her to set-up.
One of my main concerns in the run-up was the weather which was so silly as it's not in anyone's control, I wish I'd spent less time worrying about that. I so desperately wanted to have the drinks reception outside to make use of the gardens and booking in June we hoped it would be the case. Luckily it was and we had the most perfect weather.
Everything just ran so smoothly and all the staff couldn't do enough for us and all our guests. Food was delicious, and after choosing a main course that we hadn't tried at our tasting, we were a bit nervous. But we needn't have been and as I went around the room to speak to all the guests after dinner, every single plate was completely cleared. It was delicious.
The evening was great fun, unfortunately, our band were not as good as hoped, so a piece of advice would be to always try and see the band in action before booking, Do not base it on website videos and online reviews.
Overall our day was a dream and certainly the day we had hoped for...and so much more. A big part of that was down to the villa and the team behind it so a huge THANKS must go to them.

Everyone absolutely LOVED the food, Beales Gourmet were amazing the menu tasting right through to the food on the day was perfect we had so many compliments!
The venue is just absolutely PERFECT, obviously I’m biased because I’m lucky enough to be a supplier, knowing a lot of the staff already you’re all so friendly and helping and nothing is ever too much. It didn’t feel as though we had people working to make the day perfect it felt more like being surrounded by more family and friends, the entire team from the bar staff to the kitchen to yourself and Aphra dealing with me & Adam direct were outstanding. Drew in the evening was so accommodating and made sure everything carried on running smoothly.
It’s clear to see why The Italian Villa win so many awards, you’re the best at what you do! You all work as a team and that’s why it works, it’s seamless.

At no point did we worry about anything (even when it turned out the registrar hadn't signed the certificate!) everyone was so professional and our guests are still commenting about how wonderful all your staff were and how perfectly the day ran.
Of course the food was delicious, please pass our complements on the chefs, and to everyone who helped tidy away that night and made so easy to grab everything the next day.

We have got some fab photos in the gardens and in the villa. The whole venue is so gorgeous. And I can’t recommend this venue enough. I felt so at home here and all the staff make you feel so welcome. The food was so delicious and everyone said how great it was.
I would do the whole day all over again.

I think every guest has commented on how lovely the day was, how smoothly it went and how relaxed the atmosphere was. The venue was even better than we had imagined - it truly is the perfect wedding venue and the gardens, although in March looked fantastic. The food and table service was impeccable, our menu choices were lovely and the quality was outstanding.
The team at Beales Gourmet has given us a truly beautiful wedding day and hundreds of happy memories we will never forget.
Thank you so much.
Kind Regards
Mr & Mrs Hart

We can not sing any higher praise for Nicky - not only was she super organised and professional she was an absolute please to have at the day and we knew we were in safe hands! Nothing was too much trouble. I assure you this was a sentiment shared by all of the wedding party as her skills and lovely personality stood out. We can not thank her enough.
From start to finish, planning our wedding with yourselves has been seamless - noting has been too much trouble and everyone is so informed.
So again, thank you so much for all your help. We truly had a wonderful day that would not have been possible without the stunning venue and your wonderful team.

Laura was simply amazing throughout, very responsive and helpful in every way, which made the process for a high maintenance bride so much easier. Grace was our event manager on the day & was very accommodating & helpful.
The entire staff on the wedding day were great & the service of the food was professional & efficient. We have had countless remarks from guests praising the food,
Thank you for helping to make our wedding day wonderful.
Mr & Mrs Hobbs.

From the early enquiries to the general set up, then the fine tuning and detailed requests, and the running of the actual day, absolutely nothing was too much trouble. We asked for a lot of custom bits and bobs, had a lot of children to consider, and even had a slight upset on the day when the bride’s father forgot his suit trousers (causing a delay for a quick shopping trip), but everything was taken in their stride and was perfectly sorted for our special day.
Special mention #1 to Matt who was loads of help in the approach phases and who walked us through the day when we had our menu tasting, and when we separately met with our DJ on site. Really helpful and had some good advice for us and the DJ. Along with all the support by email from Cait and the team, as thoughts and questions occurred these steps made the planning easy.
On the day the venue looked and felt special, the service to both the bride and groom’s parties was fantastic and we were never left waiting to ask a question, as there were always folks on hand to help with any little thing. Whether that was checking on arrangements or sorting the Dutch courage! Special mention #2 to Grace who was absolutely exemplary in her event management both in meeting and running through with us the day before, and then so invaluably on the day. Both we and our guests were very grateful that she was all over everything, even finding time to set up the 20+ kids is a separate room during the speeches!
The food was amazing and praised by all. Difficult requests in the run up were sorted without quibble, and the staff even steered a difficult family member away from overtly fussy martyrdom

The day itself went perfectly and so much of this was down to Grace. The second we needed anything she was always there and made it that we had no stress on the day and she even made sure we had a glass of bubbly and our very own tray of canapés. By the end of the day we felt she was more like one of our guests!
The food was absolutely delicious and we had so many people comment on the main course, which in the end we went for the lamb.The staff bringing out the food were also fantastic and so professional. It started to rain during our drinks reception and so people went inside but the staff were so good at calmly and quickly bringing everything in we barely noticed. So even a bit of rain couldn't ruin our day.
So on behalf on my new husband and I, we would like to thank you all so much for everything you did to make our day so special.
