Our only wish would be to do it all over again!
We got married at Life in July and worked with Laura for just over a year to plan it. We had the most incredible day and couldn’t speak more highly of the venue, the organisation and the staff. Laura was worth her weight in gold and made the planning process so enjoyable. Before booking with Laura we had been burnt with another venue which had really set the tone and made us wonder what the rest of the wedding industry was like - we will always be so grateful to Laura for completely smashing it!

the wedding day of our dreams.
We chose Brown & Green Life! for our wedding because in our first meeting with Laura we got the feeling that the venue and its team would be flexible enough to accommodate our ideas for a laid-back and unconventional wedding day. This was certainly the case and we were able to design a fun day tailored to us, our families and our friends. During the planning stage we benefited greatly from Laura's experience and creativity as she added suggestions and advice to our own ideas while encouraging us

the best day of mine and Tom's life
The wedding was honestly the best day of mine and Tom's life, and the venue was a huge part of that. It was so atmospheric in that room. And we knew that the day would run smoothly because you were there. So many guests complimented us on what an amazing venue it was, and my family who got to know you over the weekend said you're awesome and so good at your job. We really can't recommend you as a wedding co-ordinator, or B&G weddings, highly enough. Big big thanks xx

She is utterly flawless in what she does!
My husband and I had the most extraordinarily wonderful day at Brown and Green, and we are so glad we decided to have our wedding day there! Having Laura coordinate the run up and day was pivotal. She is utterly flawless in what she does and we hardly had a worry from start to finish. She understood all of our wishes and concerns, with an effortless grace, that really put us at ease.We also found that all the staff there perpetuate her relaxed and efficient professionalism.

The day itself was so special !
"We had our wedding at Brown & Green Life in August this year and had the most wonderful day. One of the reasons we went ahead with the venue was Laura's enthusiasm and can-do attitude- we knew we would be in safe hands! The lead up went smoothly and we enjoyed the organising, Laura was really open minded to the different ideas we had, and nothing was too difficult. The day itself was so special and many of our family members mentioned how organised and unflappable Laura was!

best wedding they'd been to!
The day was so perfect because it really felt like our dreams and slightly mad ideas had totally come to life, the ceremony and celebrations just felt so 'us'. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they'd been to; very memorable and very personal. The thing I most appreciated was your managing the schedule on the day. Knowing that we weren't going to have to worry about organising things ourselves on the day was great. People went in and out, musicians performed, amazing food too

happy, fun, relaxed and close to nature
We got married at Life in September 2023 and had a brilliant day celebrating with our family and friends. Laura made the whole process really smooth from start to finish. She helped us plan how we wanted the day to unfold, recommended suppliers to us and liaised with them on our behalf. She gave us ideas for decorating the space and was really receptive to all our thoughts and questions. In the lead up to the day and the day itself, Laura was such a happy and calming presence - we really loved h

Describe the best wedding that happened at Brown and Green Life?

One of the best weddings was when they hung a huge flower circle from the pitched ceiling and had the ceremony in the round... it was so unique. All the guests then took Prosecco on the pedals before having a 3 course family feast for 110 which went down a storm!
