Great hosts - great value

Thank you Erika and Andrew for making our special day - SPECIAL! We were on a budget and you helped make sure that we still had a fairytale day. We loved the attention and planning you gave us before and during the event. The venue is lovely and so special - we have taken so many photos - and have so many fond memories of our time there. We especially loved the courtyard and the outdoor bar you put on for us after the ceremony. And our guests just loved the main room and how you decorated it. Thoroughly recommend this as a venue - but recommend it even more for the fabulous couple that really made sure the day went without a hitch when we got hitched! Thank you.

Experienced their afternoon tea which was really lovely. Everything was made fresh on the day and included a variety of teas, sandwiches, sweets and savouries. Booking was an easy process. Erika and Andrew were the perfect hosts. Ensuring we felt welcome in their home. Excited to see what new events they will be hosting at this beautiful location in the future.

You made our already special day even more so

Thank you so, so much again for your incredibly amazing venue. You made our already special day even more so. Those of us who do live locally will be spreading some very positive word of mouth over the coming weeks as well🙂 It will take some time, but once we have collated everything taken I will pass on a link to an album on Google photos containing everything, that you are free to use.

Thank you!

We loved this venue - we fell in love with it when we first saw it. Great versatility - from the imposing front view of the castle-like structure, to the open courtyard with flowers and greenery, to the open and grand court-room, to the avant-garde bar, to the stately magistrates room and finally to the cosy library. We loved all that this venue had to offer. The hosts are amazing - and gave us great versatility on our wedding options. We had considered using our own caterers (which they were fine with) but in the end went with their inhouse grazing table and hog roast which were both great choices. One thing we really liked was that there were almost no 'add-on' prices for things - didn't need to pay extra for this or extra for that - think the only extra thing we paid for on top of the venue and food costs was printing of our own flag to fly above the venue on the wedding day! (which we got to keep anyway!!!!). So with these guys - what you see is what you get - or in fairness - you get more than what you see and what you pay for! They were also super flexible in terms of building access prior to the wedding to allow us to set up the decorations and some personal items that we wanted to ensure we had in some of the rooms. Overall - an truly memorable day made better by supportive hosts in a unique venue.

Erika was so helpful for my event. Lovely food. Well organised, amazing venue . Thanks

110% recommended

I don't usually write reviews - but given the effort made by Erika over the last few weeks to make our special day turn out perfect - I wanted to share a few comments to thank her and to recommend her and the The Sessions House to other couples. We were super nervous about having everything go well for the big day - and Erika was really helpful in making sure that we had everything well planned and arranged. She even arranged for us to have our own bespoke cocktails made for us in the bar for after the ceremony. We really appreciated how responsive she was to us and how helpful. We loved some of the little touches like the cocktails, the recommendations for photoshots, the printing of our own personalised flag, the flexibility on the food options etc. The venue is great. We were lucky with the weather so it was great to spend time outside in the grounds. Erika - thanks for everything..

Thank you for making our daughter's special day. From a parent's perspective we really appreciated the transparency on the pricing and the fact that there were no hidden charges or anything unexpected - we had seen previous venues add in extras for chairs, tables, etc etc - and you were really transparent and upfront on costs. We also appreciated the responsiveness - we klnow our daughter really liked being able to deal with you over whatsapp as opposed to calling or emailing - so this was great in terms of a more personal and responsive approach. We hope you continue to make other couples happy at your special venue.
