- AAli & James30/04/2025Absolutely perfect! Absolutely perfect!Our wedding day at Audleys Wood was absolutely perfect. From the beginning planning stages every member of staff we met was friendly and helpful. The facilities at Audleys Wood are second to none – we all felt super special the night before the wedding in the dressing gowns in the huge suite! The prep suite is beautiful and large enough to accommodate us all getting ready comfortably. The conservatory room was perfect for our wedding ceremony and made for great photos too. Luckily the weather was warm enough for our canapes to be held outside and the lawns are so big that the vast number of kids we had could all play happily with the garden games whilst the adults enjoyed the sun! The canapes were delicious, and the staff were great at getting round everyone – taking care of those with allergies too. The pavilion was the most perfect place for our reception, in itself it looks beautiful which made it really easy to add our own touches to make it personally perfect! The food and drink was all absolutely delicious and the serving staff were great. Everything worked like clockwork, and it’s clear that the staff are well trained in making sure weddings go very smoothly! Every request was met expertly and every member of staff was friendly and helpful – each of our guests agreed! The whole day was perfect and we’re so grateful to the team at Audleys Wood, we couldn’t have chosen a better place for our wedding day. Our wedding day at Audleys Wood was absolutely perfect.
