The entire day was magical

Priston Mill was the first venue we went to go and see, and it ended up being the only one we saw! The attention to detail and care for each individual guest made us so happy as the most important thing for us was knowing all our loved ones had the best day! The entire day was magical and we have Katherine and the rest of the team at Priston to thank for that! If you’re looking for a dreamy countryside wedding with the best food, Aperol spritz’s and highly professional staff, look no further!

The most wonderful venue to have your wedding

The most wonderful venue to have your wedding day at, as we did on 06/10/24! Big shout out to Katherine, who looked after us through the whole journey. She answered every question i had (big or small) and made sure everything went smoothly on the day itself. Above and beyond! Another shout out to the team on the day, you guys worked super hard from serving the reception drinks to dishing out food. Overall, I can't fault anything or anyone for making the day the way it was. Big thank you from us

It is such a special place

I don’t think there are enough words to thank the team at Priston Mill for the best day of our lives and for making the entire process so so easy for us! Every person we spoke to in the process was so kind and patient, and put us at complete ease throughout our planning. The food was absolutely delicious (we got a lot of compliments from guests!), the venue itself was stunning and the wedding day ran so smoothly. It is such a special place and we cannot thank you enough for everything!

We would highly recommend Priston Mill

We got married at Priston Mill in the Tythe Barn in July 2024. Since then so many of our guests have been raving about the quality and portion size of the food, the helpful venue staff, the reasonable bar prices and the fact that everything went so smoothly. The barn, garden and location are beautiful and we would highly recommend Priston Mill for any couples getting married. Thanks so much, we hope someone we know gets married at Priston so we can come back as guests!

We had the most amazing and memorable day

We wanted to say a massive thank you once again for hosting the most amazing day for us and our friends and families. From the very first meeting with you, we knew we were in safe hands. The venue looked incredible on the day, so many of our guests have commented on what a magical venue it is – we knew we were onto a winner from the minute we first visited. The food was incredible, and your staff were warm, friendly, and attentive at all times throughout the day.

We honestly had the most perfect day

We honestly had the most perfect day and a lot of that was down to yourself and your team! From start to finish you were a pleasure to communicate with and made us feel like nothing was ever too much trouble. On the day itself the team were phenomenal. Everything just happened so seamlessly, almost without anyone noticing - which is an incredible skill! Throughout the entire day you made us feel like the guests of honour, and not the hosts - and that was all down to you.

Everything was better than we could’ve imagined

Choosing Priston Mill was the best decision we could have made, from the very start of the wedding planning process, everything felt so easy and we knew we were in good hands. No question seemed silly and no request felt too big. Everyone commented on how wonderful the venue was, how smoothly the wedding transitioned from day to evening and also how incredible all the food was. We couldn’t be happier, everything was better than we could’ve imagined - we just wish it hadn’t gone so quickly!

It was amazing from start to finish

I just wanted to say thank you both so much for making our wedding the absolute best day. It was amazing from start to finish and exceeded our expectations. We really valued all of your support through planning and organising, Katherine, and your quick responses to any queries we had. Clara you were amazing on the day and a much appreciated calm energy!
