BEST DAY EVER!!!

Crown lodge was the first venue we viewed but we just knew as soon as we visited that it was the place we wanted tot get married! Its beautiful! And the views are stunning. We didn't want a huge venue which had the potential to feel cold and empty - especially as we got married in October, so this venue was perfect! Cosy and comfortable, beautiful inside and out and the staff are amazing! Kylie is who we dealt with, and nothing was ever too much for her, even when it all got a bit stressful for me in the last week. She was there to help and provide advice and it was clear she genuinely cares. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, classy, intimate wedding!

Beautiful venue, gorgeous surroundings & the most amazing staff.

Crown Lodge is the perfect venue. We had a relatively small wedding with a ceremony in their inside space with 20 loved ones and a further 40 guests join us for the evening. We had the most incredible day, for the weeks leading up to the wedding we had lovely Kylie, helping to organise and finalise little details that I would never have even thought of. She was always available to answer a question or settle a worry and took away any stress I had when it came to planning and timings. Kylie coordinated with suppliers brilliantly to ensure seamless running of everything. Kylie and her team even helped decorate the cake and make it look pretty for me, so I didn’t have to worry on the day. The venue is beautiful and the staff were absolutely incredible. Nothing was too much trouble and they truly made everything such a joy. I don’t really have any other words to emphasise their brilliance at crown lodge, other than that I know if you were to choose them for your wedding, you would have 0 regrets. I wish we could go back each year and just do the day over! Wishing you all a wedding as lovely as ours and thank you Crown Lodge, we will forever be grateful to you for the best day of our lives x

Stunning venue all round

We had our wedding in July- and honestly couldn’t fault the crown lodge, the view and venue itself were absolutely stunning. The staff on the lead up were so responsive answering all of my questions and calming my worries. The staff on the day were amazing, they kept me up to date if we were a little behind and problem solved to keep the day moving smoothly, they were so attentive with making sure us as bride and groom had drinks! Just such smooth experience with them and our wedding was truly one to remember. Thank you so much

Fabulous venue

Literally the perfect wedding venue! We fell in love with Crown Lodge the minute we saw it. From the quirky wooden walls inside to the beautiful views across the downs, this ticked every box for us and I can’t imagine getting married anywhere else. We loved the fact that we were able to choose our own caterers and weren’t tied to a pre designed package like many other venues. Kylie was amazing from the minute we met and we were well looked after throughout the planning process. Kylie was always on hand to answer questions and gave us some great suggestions when we needed them. Kylie and Mas were on hand on the day and ensured everything ran smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. We can’t thank them enough!

Simply amazing

Crown Lodge- what can we say! You made our day from the minute it started. Kylie is phenomenal and such a lovely person where nothing is too much. She’s really keen and approachable about all things and nothing is too much for her and the team! Everything was taken care of and for a bride who sweats the small stuff Kylie made sure everything was in hand. The venue is stunning! All our guests were blown away and said how lovely it all was. In the middle of a stormy day it still looked amazing and felt super cosy and beautiful. We cannot thank you enough for everything. I wish we had another reason to come again! ❤️🥂

Crown Lodge was an amazing venue. Rustic, outdoorsy and surrounded by nature- exactly what we wanted. The indoor vibe was coby wood cabin, and the trees outside gave a beautiful backdrop. Plus the North Downs gave amazing views and photos. Kylie was amazing- from helping plan our day, to making sure everything was just right on the day. She put us at ease and we knew we could trust her to get everything right. An amazing venue and fantastic staff- we would definately recommend Crown Lodge as a venue.
