Everything about the Priest House is just amazing.
5* in every way! Everything about the Priest House is just amazing. If you book this venue for your wedding, you won’t be disappointed! We were blown away when we visited the venue about a year ago - so much so we booked it there and then! The location is obviously beautiful, the food is SO GOOD . Everything on the day went off without a hitch, and we have the best memories to look back on. I definitely think the PH is going to become one of the top wedding venues in Derbyshire.

From the first day of meeting the events organisers to the day of the wedding, everyone was absolutely amazing. Nothing was too much trouble.

The Priest House was a beautiful & hassle-free day
The wedding at The Priest House was a beautiful and hassle-free day. The venue is truly in an amazing setting - what a beautiful venue and surrounding area. The venue was different, an experience in itself being inside a beautiful piece of architecture. It was stunning! It was very well organised and a very chilled environment. Loved it! We would like to thank you & your staff for all the wonderful work you did. The day was absolutely perfect for us all.

Cannot thank The Priest House enough
Cannot thank The Priest House enough for all they did in preparation & on the day for our wedding. All details were dealt with, any queries we had, they responded to quickly and they catered to all needs throughout the day. We can’t thank Dean enough for all he did on the day, he was there prior to the ceremony starting and didn’t leave until the early hours of the morning to ensure everything ran smoothly. Kat did a superb job working behind the scenes to get all those little details just right
