In June this year my Husband and I tied the knot at the picturesque Sopley Mill. With my love of historic buildings and my Husbands love of water, and our joint love of quiet and secluded locations, Sopley Mill was simply perfect. You turn off a fairly busy one way system, and 30 seconds later you're in this out of the way, calm, quiet area of beauty! The building itself is simply stunning but to be surrounded by such lush, green beauty is something else. It feels like you're the only ones there and the world has stopped just for your big day! The team were fantastic, but we wish we'd known more about the restrictions on such a historic and listed building. We chose to book the venue on it's own and arrange the caterers etc ourselves, rather than booking one of the venues packages. We believe this may have been different if we'd been more aware of how Sopley has specific contracts with only certain suppliers, for example with regards to playing music. The day was fantastic and we cannot fault the venue on aesthetics or atmosphere, but if they could explain the options around the venue with more clarity, we believe it would help newly engaged couples to make a more informed decision. A special thank you to Emma for helping us have a truly beautiful day, your calm and confident nature helped us to handle the stress and anxiety ahead of the 'I Do's', and thank you to everyone at Sopley for giving us memories we will treasure forever xxx
