Tom and Abbie
Happy couple married in December
December 2024
What a day we had for our wedding!
From the planning of the day to the actual day the staff here were absolutely amazing! Nothing was too much trouble, we didn't have to ask for anything on the day it all ran as smooth as possible and the food was to die for! We had amazing comments from our guests about the day too and genuinely couldn't recommend this place enough. The day after when we had our breakfast we didn't want to leave as we'd made some absolutely amazing memories there and was so sad it was all over. I'm sure we'll pop back for a wedding open day at some point to reminisce. 5 star from us. A massive thank you to Sophie and Charlotte!
Response from the venue

As a decor company a huge part of how seamlessly an event goes for us is down to the team at the venue. A flexible and friendly venue team is one of the key ingredients required to create a stunning wedding. From the planning team organising the wedding's to the front of house team working on the day, the Braxted team are unmatched in professionalism and kindness. They are extremely easy to work with and have always been on hand to help out if it's been needed which speaks volumes for how much they care about each wedding that they host.

Our perfect wedding at Braxted Park
We had the most amazing wedding at Braxted Park a few weeks ago! Everything went so smoothly and the venue was so gorgeous. We especially loved the beautiful gardens. The food was absolutely incredible too! So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding venue they had been to. Thank you so much to the team at Braxted Park for making our day so incredible, can’t recommend them enough!

It was the perfect day!
Laurence and I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone at Braxted Park. We got married at your beautiful venue in September and it was the perfect day. From the moment we first looked round and met Victoria we knew we were going to have the most magical wedding day and that’s exactly what we got. Every single member of staff from the lead up to on the day were so friendly and helpful. Thank you so much to Janet who looked after us on the day. You were nonstop all day, making sure that everyone in attendance was looked after. Nothing was too much trouble and you really did make our day run so smoothly. We were so lucky to have you with us. It really does make a difference when the venue you get married at treats your wedding like their own, Braxted Park is such an amazing place.
