Enormous Thank You
Hi Lisa/ Colette/ the whole team, Henry and I just wanted to say an enormous thank you for all of your hard work and support for our wedding. We both had an absolutely brilliant day, and our guests all had an amazing time! Honestly we could not have asked for better. Everyone was super complimentary about the food, one of my cousins even said it was the best wedding food he’d ever had! The whole day ran so smoothly, and the garden area and marquee were beautiful. The rooms we all stayed in were gorgeous (I’ve already said to Henry I want to stay again!). Truly your whole team were super kind and helpful the whole weekend, and it made everything run so smoothly. Thank you so much!

Special Day
Just a quick email to say thank you for a smooth and professional event. Everyone was very complimentary about the food, if you could pass this onto the chef and those that stayed loved the rooms and the added bonus of the spa. And a special mention for the receptionist and event coordinators on the day who were so helpful to myself and a number of guests, dealing with many requests in a calm and efficient manner.

A Word of Thanks
We attended my sons wedding in December. Location, venue, rooms, staff, service food and drink were perfect. The wedding organiser was very attentive and efficient as we're all staff from reception through to kitchen staff and housekeeping. Have posted a review on TripAdvisor and would definitely recommend your facility to everyone. Once again thanks for everything. Kind regards

Lovely Venue & Helpful Staff
I recently had a wedding celebration in the conservatory for my daughter. The staff were so helpful on the day with set up and seamless on service during the event. Everyone commented on how fabulous the food was too, which was a canape selection. Rooms lovely and spacious with character with the added bonus of free entry to the spa that offers outdoor and indoor heated pool and jacuzzi.

Our Wedding Reception
My husband and I had an evening wedding reception at Pontlands Park. We recently got married in Las Vegas & wanted a party for those who couldn't attend. The wedding reception was held in the Marquee of Pontlands Park. Both the grounds and surroundings were absolutely beautiful and we're the perfect backdrop for photos. Every step of the way has been guided with such ease from the Pontlands team and nothing was ever too much trouble. The team went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect.

Wedding Reception
We recently held our wedding reception of 100 people in the Marquee & could not recommend it enough! Staff were very helpful & polite throughout, Lisa and Colette were really helpful answering emails & questions in the run up to the event. The marquee itself looked lovely on the day, & was the perfect setting for our reception. Everyone loved the outdoor garden area by the lake, and it was the perfect setting for pictures & canapés. Those who stayed really liked the spacious rooms & breakfast.

Excellent Wedding Venue
Attended a wedding reception early September. The staff were so welcoming and attentive and I particularly wanted to say thank you for attending to food intolerances so well. I couldn' have the prawn and crab part of starter so instead had a lovely chunk of goats cheese on top. Instead of beef wellington had a beautifully cooked fillet steak and dessert was a choc mousse with honeycomb. So different to being offered mixed leaf salad as a starter and fruit salad as a dessert so often. THANK YOU.

Perfect Wedding
We got married here a few weeks ago and I honestly could not fault a single thing. The venue is beautiful and the staff were incredible. I didn't have to think about anything on the day, every time I turned around the staff were there organising the next step. Everything ran smoothly and all of our guests said what a great venue it was and how good the food was too. I am SO glad that we picked Pontlands Park for our special day and I would highly recommend them to everyone.
