We had the most incredible wedding
We just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything the past weekend. We had the most incredible wedding. It could not have gone more perfectly and that is all down to you. Every single staff member was exceptional. Elmley is such a special place. All our guests loved every minute of it. We couldn’t have wished for anything more.

What a special place Elmley is
We've had a couple of days to absorb the weekend and reflect on it and I speak for both of us when I say thank you so much for creating such a magical and joyous weekend for our wedding. It was really special and has created amazing memories for both us and all of those who joined us. So many people over the weekend mentioned to Anisha and I what a special place Elmley is and I wholeheartedly agree with that. It was an amazing weekend and one I will never forget - thank you so much

So happy we picked Elmley
I’m so glad Si and I decided to get married at Elmley as yourself and Georgina were amazing throughout the whole process. You guys replied promptly to emails from the very start right up to the wedding day. You suggested ideas, answered any ridiculous questions that I had and majorly went above and beyond on the wedding day.

Elmley is basically the most stunning place on earth
What certainly didn't take long though was for us to realise what an amazing wedding we were so fortunate to have and we owe a million thanks to you! But both your support with everything, as well as the simple fact that Elmley is basically the most stunning place on earth, meant everything went exactly as we dreamed - and some!

Food, service and support-all 5*!
James and I just wanted to thank you for all of your help and support over the build up and on our wedding. The day was perfect and you guys really helped pull everything together so seamlessly (especially with the rain) in a way it allowed us to just enjoy the day and not stress! The food and service the evening before the wedding was exceptional! The two girls serving were so lovely! And the breakfasts the next day were much needed and very delicious!
