Happy couple married in November

massive thank you for all your hard work

We just wanted to reach out to both of you to say a massive thank you for all your hard work on providing us with the most perfect day. It was a really smooth process to get everything planned in and Charlie you were so helpful with sorting all the small details and helped keep me worry free in the planning! The handover to Emily was very easy and the day ran perfectly. All the staff on the day were very attentive and helpful and helped the day run so well. A massive thank you again to you both.

The team on the day were incredible, Enya was our team leader and went above and beyond to make sure it went smoothly and we felt looked after which we really did! She helped solve dress problem, took control of the day which is exactly what I needed, the whole bar team were so happy and efficient, I could not ask for more, they really were incredible, all our guests felt well looked after

We had a truly magical day

We had a truly magical day, thank you so much for all your help right from the start. Honestly, the team at Streatley are fabulous, everything went exactly as planned - right down to the surprise of the singing waiter! Everyone was amazing and super friendly and helpful.we were both quite sad when it was all over, we would have loved to do it all over again! The ceremony was just magical, the food was perfect and the drinks reception was wonderful. Hennes nailed it! Once again, thank you all

We are so happy and I just wanted to thank you

I just wanted to say, you, Laura & the whole team at the Great House honestly made mine and Mat's Wedding on Saturday - it was incredible for us.  We are so happy and I just wanted to thank you, to all of you.  Please pass this onto the relevant managers as you & Laura made the whole process so relaxed, organised & could not have done any more for us both. So I hope you get some form of praise from this, as you both are incredible and an asset to the Great House!  We are very grateful!

Wedding: September

Simply stunning

I would first like to thank you for the exceptional job you and your team did for J & G's wedding. It was simply stunning and could not have been more organized or welcoming. Thank you SO much for all of the effort that you put in to make it so special for both the bride and groom and all of their guests.

Happy couple married in October

Beautiful venue

The whole day went amazingly! The team at the venue were brilliant, Harry couldn't stop singing Jen's praises and me either - she was so great! The bar staff were on top form all night and the food was delicious, I wish I could've eaten more - the evening snack of mac and cheese was the talk of the night! We got so many compliments from guests on such a beautiful venue and it was genuinely the best day!
