Not only is Applewood Hall a blank canvas, allowing you to create a day that fits your theme perfectly, the surrounding grounds are absolutely gorgeous. In the heart of the Banham countryside, the venue is surrounded by greenery, fields and fresh air. There are ample photo opportunities around the campsite, and the garden of the hall is beautiful. With the choice of two ceremony rooms, you really can tailor the venue to fit the vibe, and guest count, to however you want it. We were looking for a full blown DIY craft project, so Applewood Hall was perfect. Even the name of the venue is adorable! But the most memorable part of Applewood Hall (and the stars of the show) are the two front line ladies behind the venue, Kiera and Chloe. From the moment we met Kiera at the open day, she was welcoming and inviting, and was so knowledgable and insightful about EVERYTHING. With millions of questions leading up to the big day, Kiera was so accommodating, and nothing was too much hassle. Unfortunately Kiera wasn’t able to join us for our big day (we were thinking of you!), but her care and professionalism on the planning was beyond perfect. However, instead of Kiera joining us on the big day, we were joined by Chloe. Whilst Chloe is a newer member of the Applewood team, you would’ve thought her and Kiera had been running the show together for decades. Chloe is the epitome of calm and fun: on the day of our setup she was in and out, having a giggle and helping us make the venue perfect. She wasn’t afraid to roll her sleeves up and help make the finishing touches perfect, and on the day itself, Chloe eliminated any last minute nerves I had and just made us both feel super comfortable and excited. Also, her window-blocking-star-jump skills were fantastic, making sure no guests saw my dress whilst I ran to the loo 😂 It’s brilliant that Chloe has brought her wedding knowledge from her previous jobs, and her and Kiera are a fantastic team. On the day, Chloe was so accommodating and helpful, but also an absolute pro at sneaking away and letting us crack on with our day. She’s magical - at some points, I genuinely forgot she was even there, but as soon as I had a question, or something needed sorting, I turned around and she was there ready. She was also a star at bar duty, ensuring my glass of Disaronno was never less than half full 😜 and the rest of the staff (all the bar staff, waiting staff and Dawn the chef) were brilliant. The food was delicious, and so many of our guests have said it was the perfect wedding. Thank you all for making our day perfect. We’ve already recommended you guys to all our friends, which is also a teeeeny bit influenced by the fact we will get to return and visit at their weddings! Love from the Wheelers ✨
