Simply the most amazing day
Could not recommend The Woodman Inn enough! We had our wedding in the country room in March, and the day was perfect! The setting and venue is fanastic, the staff were amazing and made the process of booking and planning a wedding in 4 months easy! On the day the staff could not do enough for us, and made the day flow steamlessly. Last but not least, the food was outstanding and all our guests still 5 months on rave about the food(i highly recommend the garlic mushrooms). Thank you to the team for all their help and support at making our dream reality become a reality (if not better). Also, an added bonus of the venue being dog friendly, so we could have our 4-legged friend there on the day too ☺️

Couldn't have hoped for a better wedding venue
When we first visited the Woodman Inn we fell in love with everything that we saw as well as the great service we had from the team. This continued through until, and even after our wedding where the service was just exceptional. Jordan, Ben and Nadia as well as the rest of the team made the day so effortless and really went above and beyond for us, never failing to say yes to any of our requests. The venue itself is beautiful and was just what we had hoped for - a very British feel!

UTTERLY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
We knew from the first time we met Jordan that we were in amazingly capable hands. He is the loveliest man ever and so are the whole team, including the owners, who showed us such compassion at a very difficult time. The day was incredible - perfect. It's beautiful there and the team made it amazing. I literally cannot recommend The Woodman Inn and the team there highly enough - there simply aren't enough words. Book now!!!!!

Great choice for weddings
We visited Woodman Inn last year in July and fell in love with the location and amenities straight away. Jordan and the team have been great throughout the organisational process and everything went to plan on the day. The food and service were great and all our guests enjoyed the wedding. We highly recommend Woodman Inn.

Lovely Jubely
We recently celebrated our wedding day (2.0) with family and loved ones at the woodman inn. We live overseas, and Jordan, Ben & Nadia were amazing at advising & communication and accomodating from the very first contact. We booked the woodman inn without viewing the space; and we were over joyed when we arrived to celebrate our day. Between the multiple suppliers that supported our day we are forever grateful and thankful. They made our day run seamlessly and it was everything we wanted and more. Highly recommend 🥰
Response from the venue
Wow, what an amazing review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your wedding (2.0!) was everything you dreamed of. Thank you so much for choosing The Woodman Inn to celebrate your special day. We're so happy you and your loved ones had an incredible time. Here's to many more happy years together! 🥂

The perfect day
The woodman was the first venue we had arranged to visit to find our perfect place to host our special day. as soon as we arrived, we knew it was the place for us. Jordan showed us around the beautiful grounds and explained the different packages available. before the meeting had even concluded we had cancelled our other viewings and paid our deposit to secure our date. from that moment on everything was taken care of and all our questions and queries were answered promptly and professionally. Nadia then took over the planning of our day and was fantastic, even squashing in additional meetings and making sure everything went to plan and ensuring our day was perfect, making all the adjustments and taking the time to listen to us and help us through every stage. on the big day Ben and Nadia did everything they could to ensure everything went off without a hitch. including the last-minute changes I threw at them. I can't fault the team for anything as everything went perfectly. the attention to detail from everyone was amazing and the entire day was perfect, every one of our guests thoroughly enjoyed the day. so massive thanks to Nadia, Ben, Jordan and the rest of the team at the Woodman.

The accommodation was good too and the team were able to ensure all of our guests could secure a room on the night as well as the night before. Communication is prompt and flexible which was ideal since we live abroad and needed to do mostly video calls in advance of the wedding. We have nothing but good things to say and would recommend the venue to anyone. Thanks Jordan, Ben, Nadia and the rest of the Woodman Inn team!
Response from the venue

Our Wedding at the Woodman Inn
The Woodman Inn Well all of this started for sue and I around 18 months ago. I had proposed and Sue said yes so the next big thing for us was the location of the wedding. We looked at quite a few locations but got the this is it moment when we visited one of the wedding open days. We met Ben who showed us around the venue we looked at the diary for our date and that was it all we needed to do was pay. Now anyone who has been through a marriage will know that it’s certainly not cheap but the woodman will tailor your day to your needs and your budget they will also keep you on track with what you should have done by now and what is still to do. They have a full team and all of them know exactly what they are doing. Sue put a lot of effort into this but so did ben and the rest of the guys we had a wonderful day to remember and so did our guests the food was fantastic and it came out with military precision. Indeed the hole day slipped from one thing to the next seamlessly and that’s why you should have your best day at the woodman they know what the are doing because they have done it before I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you for making our special day come true. The venue also has 19 rooms that they hold for you so that if your guests need accommodation they can book through you and don’t have the worry of getting home after what is a very long and fluid day. The only other advice I can give is take some time in the day to just sit down together and relax and look around you and enjoy your moment because for you and your partner it seems to go by in a flash. Again thank you Ben and the rest of the team for our day we will always remember you.
Response from the venue
Your kind words about Ben and the team mean the world to us. They work tirelessly to ensure every couple's day is perfect. We're so glad you and your guests had an amazing time. Thank you for choosing us to be part of your special day! xx
