A Dream Wedding
Wow, what can I say? The Kings Oak event team executed our wedding perfectly. We had the best day!! It was honestly the most incredible venue. Paula and Linzi were amazing on the day. They made sure I was calm, everyone was in place, and the day ran smoothly. The food was INCREDIBLE! So many people have said to me, it’s the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Christian, the toastmaster, was lovely! The DJ provided was very good and really friendly! The photo booth and chocolate f

The Perfect Venue
The day went absolutely perfectly; we could not fault a thing. The ceremony went beautifully, and the reception was a blast! I must express my gratitude to all the staff at Kings Oak. It was evident that you all genuinely cared about making our day special. The food was not just good; it was spectacular, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. The suppliers, including the DJs, Photobooths, and saxophonist, were fabulous. This wouldn’t have been possible without the great team at the KO.

Amazing Venue & Great Staff
My husband and I had our wedding reception at the King’s Oak, every step of the way was discussed. We chose a package where we had their house DJ. I had emailed him the songs we wanted to play, he was brilliant. The venue was beautiful with a large dance floor. We chose buffet food, which was brought out and placed on the tables, plus a drinks package, and these were given to guests. We had the best time and would definitely recommend the Kings Oak to everyone.

It was absolutely exceptional.
I've just had my wedding here. What can I say? It was absolutely exceptional. Paula and her team were amazing, completely on the ball, and made every part run smoothly and seamlessly. They make you feel confident that they have it all under control. The venue is stunning, and many of my guests described the food as delicious. Fantastic service from start to end. I could not recommend this venue and team enough if you're planning a wedding or party!

A Perfect Spring Wedding
My husband and I were incredibly fortunate and lucky to have got married at the Kings Oak Hotel in Spring 2023… To say our experience of the venue and the staff was exceptional would be an understatement; from the moment we first visited the KO we were made to feel like part of a family and, we knew we were in very safe and capable hands. You never really know how it’s all going to come together on the day, but when we walked in and saw what the team had created we were instantly blown away.

Sister's Wedding - One to remember!
Sisters wedding - one to remember x My sister Michelle got married here on 30th March 2019 to Michael and I feel compelled to write a review, which is unlike me! It was the most beautiful occasion and so well organised, the attention to detail was amazing! Well done to the team on what was a superb event, my sister and her new husband had the most wonderful time (and so did everyone else) we are all still talking about it now!! Carly x
