We certainly had the day we have always dreamed of
Hi Sophie , We certainly had the day we have always dreamed of and that was only possible due to the hard work of you and your team who have made us feel so special both in the planning and on the big day itself ! Guests said the whole day that it was the perfect venue and that the food, staff, ect were all amazing and that they too have had an amazing day ! We just wanted to say a special thank you to you as-well - you have been amazing from day one ! so informative and professional throughout, your kindness, amazing communication and your patients in dealing with our many questions and room changes 😂 Please pass on our thanks to Ben and George who helped our big day go so smoothly and kept the guests well entertained and topped up on drinks throughout the evening ! Best wishes and thank you again Martha and Ben

Lainston House will forever hold a special place in our hearts
We want to take the time to express our sincere thanks to each and every individual who played a part in our special day, both in the run up to 4th May and the day itself. Put simply, it was perfect. We have always said that you guys always go above and beyond and Saturday was no different. Sophie, thank you for everything you have done over the last year and a bit. You have made the process so easy and been on hand to support at every step and we are so happy we got to see you on Saturday so that you could also see all the hard work you had invested. We have to give special thanks to Ben and George for coordinating the day and making everything run smoothly, they were both attentive and committed to making our day as special as it possibly could be. Nick must also get a shout out for saving Tom’s jacket buttons twice as well as my mothers outfit. No request was beyond him and his commitment to service was clear throughout the day. Please do pass our thanks on to everyone within the team, you all made the day one to remember and we can assure you we will be regular visitors in the future, especially for those Asian inspired burgers and samosa’s which were a hit with the guests! Thank you once again for making our dreams come true. Lainston House will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Magical day
We had the most magical day, everything we could have wished for (including the weather, how lucky were we!) Your entire team were so helpful and we're very grateful for all the work they did to make everything as smooth as possible. I was not expecting to be provided with that amount of care so a massive thanks to Ben for his humour, running around and taking everything into his own hands for a perfect day.

Fantastic venue, excellent food, great service
Highly recommend Lainston House as a wedding venue: The setting is beautiful and can cater for varying group sizes. The food is excellent, with a good range of choice, and caters for dietary requirements. The service, both in terms of the planning and on the day was consistently fantastic: Flexible, friendly and well-organised

The whole day was truly wonderful
The whole day was truly wonderful, and the staff really did make it so special. But I know that it also couldn’t have gone so smoothly without yourself Sophie, you have been so great throughout the whole process. I really felt like you always had everything in hand, no question was ever left unanswered, you had great attention to detail, and everything was handled perfectly so thank you so much. It’s not too bold to say that the staff really did enhance an already perfect day.

We had a magical day at Lainston House
Firstly, from both of us, thank you so much for your support, advice, and guidance over the last few months. You've been super helpful and your skills in organising our wedding with us were amazing. We had a magical day at Lainston House, and all our guests seemed to think the same. It was beautiful and would have been beautiful still even without all the decorations, cake, and flowers. We wanted to say a special thank you to Lewis, for his amazing support on the day.

It was truly a day we will never forget.
The whole team at Lainston were wonderful, very friendly and helpful. Special thanks in particular to yourself for helping us get all the little details right in the planning, and also to George (our waiter throughout the day) who was warm, friendly, made sure everything was just right, and brilliant with Kit. Thank you so much, it was truly a day we will never forget.

Perfect experience we could have ever dreamed of
Lainston House and the wonderful team blew us away on Saturday. Every time that you went the extra mile to understand what we wanted from our day helped shape it into the most perfect experience we could have ever dreamed of. Thank you.

Thank you for everything
Thank you for everything for our special day. Special mention to Lewis and Chloe who put us both at so much ease. Chloe was absolutely fantastic with ensuring we were always watered and fed, always in eye shot incase either of us needed anything! Lewis was incredible start to finish. You may of realised how much of a perfectionist Sam is and Lewis exceeded our standards with his eye for detail and little touches. Please pass this onto them as they will always be part of our day.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

We will have loads to share with you along the way, but one I regularly give to our couples is that this is your special day so pick the things that are important to you as a couple instead of thinking what your guests will like.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

We once had a couple whose table themes were their favourite books, they had the book on each table and made confetti made from the pages from those books, such great attention to detail.
