Wonderful day!
So glad we chose Bowood for our wedding. Everyone has said how much of a fab day it was and they all loved it. A lot that stayed have even said they will go back for a spa weekend. Staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for us. There was a couple of things that got missed, but they were small things that even my husband didn't notice, and as soon as I mentioned it to the staff it was sorted straight away and certainly did not effect our day at all. Highly recommend Bowood for a wedding!!

An amazing venue to have our day. The staff went over the top to make sure we had the best day. Couldn't have asked for a better team.
Thank you for being part of our perfect day. We had everything we wanted and more.

Absolutely fabulous weekend
The team at Bowood did everything they could to made the weekend for our wedding as special as they could. The day ran smoothly and when we asked to change timings slightly this was done smoothly and without issue. We were incredibly lucky with the weather and managed to have our dream outdoor wedding with a stunning backdrop. The food was excellent and our guests all complemented on such a fabulous venue. Rebecca in particular did everything she could to make sure we wanted for nothing on our wedding day and coordinated our plans perfectly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bowood as a venue for your wedding.

Perfect Wedding
"‘Thank you, and the whole of the Bowood team, for our perfect wedding. From the moment we arrived, everything was just wonderful and we were very taken back by each staff member who helped throughout our stay. Everything was absolutely perfect for us and we have come away just blown by how well it all turned out. The venue was set up wonderfully and the food was incredible. Thank you so much for all your support during the build up too and allowing us to have our intimate wedding at Bowood. We look forward to visiting again in the future and creating more memories to the place that means even more to us now."

Thank you
‘We would just like to send an email to you all to thank you for everything you did for our wedding. Ellen thank you for coordinating it all and helping our dream become a reality on the day. Thank you to Ellen and Rebecca for the smooth running of the day and being available for help when needed, especially for the first aid for my Maid of Honour's toe after the Conga line! Thank you to all the reception, reservation, and hotel staff for everything leading up to the day, on the day and after, as we had a few people leave bits behind."

Our Sincere Thanks
We would like to pass on our sincere thanks to you and the team for your support and the effort which was put into our wedding celebration yesterday. The whole team made so much effort to make our day special and memorable and the execution was flawless. Everybody was complimentary about the food; the quality was really perfect. There were guests who have been all around the world that commented that the Beef Wellington was the best they had ever tasted. Our vegans and vegetarians were also impressed by the menu options and food quality. Rebecca did such a wonderful job of keeping everyone in order (even me!), we really appreciate everything she did for us throughout the day. Once again, our sincere thanks and appreciation to you all. We had a wonderful day, we will probably sleep for a week now!"
