Wedding Day Wedding Day
Hannah Bush was me and my husbands wedding coordinator. Hannah made us feel so calm and talked us through the whole day and made sure we stuck to the timings. The venue was dressed beautifully and the staff were so helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. My four month son attended and I was worrying about the bottle feeding situation and sterilisation of the bottles. This was handled perfectly by the staff who were able to assist with washing bottles, sterilising and helping me prepare my son's milk. The watermill is a lovely venue and spaced out over three floors and does not feel crowded Hannah Bush was me and my husbands wedding coordinator.

Couldn’t ask for any better - Wedding of Dreams!Couldn’t ask for any better - Wedding of Dreams!
We got married at Priston Mill and WOW, what an incredible place! From our first visit to the day itself, Priston Mill were so incredibly attentive and provided us with excellent information and constant communication. They were able to advise the order of the day, excellent suppliers and aid us with our food choices. We were lucky enough to be able to set up before our day and we had the amazing Hannah coordinating our day (all apart of their service). Hannah was absolutely incredible, she was so organised and nothing seemed like too much trouble. Hannah even got to play a role in our speeches which was fantastic. As a bride, thanks to Priston I was able to have the wedding of my dreams and a completely stress free experience - thank you! We got married at Priston Mill and WOW, what an incredible place!

The best wedding we could've wished for! The best wedding we could've wished for!
We had our wedding at the Tythe Barn last week, and couldn't have wished for a better day/experience! We fell in love with the venue instantly when we came to see it in the winter, and it looked even more stunning on a summer's day! Our guests kept saying how beautiful a venue it was. The team were really responsive the whole way through the planning process, and made sure that we had a really clear idea of how the day would go and that all of the small details would be how we wanted them. The food was fantastic, and the barn was a beautiful setting. A special thank you to our coordinator, Hannah, who made sure everything ran extremely smoothly and kept us in the loop the whole way through. She is a great communicator, and was so upbeat and happy to run the day for us, and is an absolute credit to the venue! Thanks again so much for the best day imaginable!

A wonderful English-German weddingA wonderful English-German wedding
We spent a wonderful day at The Watermill venue to celebrate our wedding! The team at Priston Mill went above and beyond to ensure all our wishes were fulfilled :) Despite largely planning the wedding from Germany via emails, they were always available and made sure everything was perfect on the day. We definitely recommend this venue with its rustic charm. It was a perfect choice for our smaller wedding congregation, with around 55 guests.We spent a wonderful day at The Watermill venue to celebrate our wedding!

Best Day Best Day
We found this wedding venue on Facebook as a suggested place to view once we started looking at venues. It appealed to us as they had 2 different venue options The barn and the Watermill. The watermill was perfect for us as we wanted a small and intimate space. We loved it from the moment we saw it. The staff were very helpful from the start and very hands on to organising our day and our wedding meetings. We could contact them very easily through email and they always answered within a few days. They were very helpful with helping us decide how to decorate and use our space to advantage and they made the process from start to finish very stress free. We would absolutely recommend them for a wedding. Special mention to Clara, Nick and Katie who were our touch points through the process and the when wedding day.

The most beautiful wedding day!The most beautiful wedding day!
We had our special day a couple of weeks ago and it was nothing short of amazing! Chloë and the team at Priston Mill were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. You can tell that they know what they are doing! The day just flowed so beautifully and Chloë brought a fun element with her great mc skills too. The food was out of this world and the quality of the wine & sparkling wine was excellent too. We didn’t have to worry about anything on the day as it was all taken care of after months of planning and great communication via email, phone calls and in person. We wish we could just do it all over again and we’d choose Priston Mill every time . Thank you again for such a magical wedding day, love from The Cottle’s.

We spent a lot of time looking for our wedding venue as it’s such a big part of the day and I can say that Priston Mill did not disappoint. Our wedding was in the Watermill which we choose as we loved it’s character and unique charm as well as wanting to get married in the beautiful gardens. Our wedding coordinator Clara was brilliant in the lead up to the wedding day, always quick to respond to our questions and clear about timelines and what was needed from us. On the day itself, Johanna took over seamlessly, ensuring everything ran like clockwork so we could simply enjoy the moment without a single worry. All the staff on the day were amazing and attentive and they all did an amazing job. The food was also outstanding and we had so many compliments from our guests. All in all we couldn’t have asked for better and we would absolutely recommend Priston Mill as your wedding venue.We spent a lot of time looking for our wedding venue as it’s such a big part of the day and I can say that Priston Mill did not disappoint.

I cannot thank them enough for making my dream of a beautiful country wedding come true. You guys are amazing! I cannot rate Priston Mill highly enough.
