The Clarendon Hotel

It was the best day we could have asked for, Jasmine (our coordinator) was amazing and worked so hard to make sure everything went perfectly. On the day itself, everything went brilliantly - and we'd asked for quite a lot. We actually had two ceremonies, a big humanist service in the garden, and a small civil service indoors, they managed both for us. The food was amazing - thanks so much to Beverley and her team! - we got so many positive comments about the food, how everything was laid out, etc. The reception was great fun too. We couldn't have asked for any more and were absolutely thrilled. It was great to know that we could have everything under one roof, and that all our guests (approx 150) could stay there too, if they wanted to. From the ceremonies, to the wedding breakfast, speeches, reception, they managed everything for us and this worked really well, there was minimal flitting back and forth between suppliers etc. They also helped when I was having a bit of trouble with booking the DJ. My only reservation would be that the lead up to the big day didn't feel as 'in hand' as it should have done. We had to prompt for communications, we ended up doing two tastings as the first one wasn't great. I'd have appreciated just a bit more outreach and communication. Right up until the wedding day, I was a bit nervous about all this, which is the only reason I haven't given 5 stars. I felt as though a bit more effort before the wedding would have given me more confidence. But actually, I needn't have worried, everything happened brilliantly and they accommodated absolutely everything, including vegans, dairy free, etc.
