Everything was perfect. Our guests were so impressed with every part of the house and all of the finer details. The grounds looked very well kept, and guests were all impressed with the bedrooms.

Faye was fantastic and really looked after us so well, and all the staff were helpful on the day. Faye made our day very special with the attention she gave us. We can’t rate her high enough. The food was delicious. Everyone loved it. Faye was amazing from the moment we started dealing with her to the moment we left after breakfast. We don’t remember other names, but everyone we encountered leading up to the wedding and especially on the day itself was so friendly and helpful.

The night manager was also really helpful in finding a toy elephant one of our nieces had dropped around the house.

The presentation of the house was wonderful; it came out exactly how we had hoped. Before our wedding, Linda answered all our questions and walked us through all the options and services. Jocie went above and beyond and really made our experience memorable.

We want to say a big thank you to the team for their patience and service. They accommodated our changes and were really warm and kind. Thank you all. I wish there were an option for outstanding. Jocie was amazing, honestly, she really made our day amazing. The guest has been very complimentary of her service and warmth towards them. Answering all of our questions and making sure the day ran smoothly. Guests were really impressed with the amount of food options available and loved the food.

The house is beautiful, and we loved the decorations for Christmas. The furniture is gorgeous, and we loved our ceremony room especially. The Honeymoon Suite was incredible, and we really felt like royalty staying there! Beautiful from the outside and gorgeous grounds.

All of our guests commented on how lovely the bedrooms are. As already mentioned, we adored our room, it was breathtaking!

All the staff were fantastic, especially our Personal Wedding Manager, Faye, who is just incredible. There aren’t enough words to reflect how wonderful Faye is; not only did she help us feel prepared and supported in the build-up, but she was unbelievable in making sure everything ran smoothly, and she anticipated everything we needed before we even asked! She is just incredible!!!

Fantastic food, all our guests commented on how delicious it was.

Absolutely beautiful, all the guests could not believe how beautiful it was! The grounds are stunning and clearly well-maintained! Someone was always available to speak to you; we got to attend different open days and events.

Tara was an absolute dream! She helped us from making sure we were on track at the start of our journey with her right the way through to the end of the day and beyond – she is fantastic at her job, and we genuinely felt she was as invested in our day as we were!

Everyone commented to say how fantastic the food was! Everyone loved the cocktails! Tara was absolutely fantastic.

Bride & Groom – Olivia & James

Internally, the house is absolutely beautiful and spotless. Jocie was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She was always available to answer our questions in the lead-up to the wedding and truly listened to everything we asked for.

On the day itself, she ensured everything ran smoothly and exactly as planned. Knowing she was there supporting us was incredibly reassuring and took a huge weight off our shoulders. We couldn’t have asked for a better Personal Wedding Manager!

The food was incredible! So many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it too!

We were so lucky to have had the most amazing wedding day at Gosfield Hall.

A special thank you to Jocie. She honestly had such a calming, positive impact on our day and went above and beyond to make it so special. Nothing was ever too much of an ask, and we are so thankful for how she looked after us, our family and friends.

The whole day was so smooth, and she made sure we always knew what was happening and talked me through everything! Thank you so much, you are amazing!

Exceptional customer service when booking from the team, and I enjoyed visiting multiple times.

Ellie, our Personal Wedding Manager, was the most incredible person ever. She is unbelievable at her job and made the whole experience so smooth. On our wedding day, all the staff members were friendly, professional and provided top service.

All of our family and friends echoed how incredible she was — she went above and beyond in every way, and everyone noticed it. We honestly couldn’t have imagined our day without her. Ellie, thank you for making our wedding not only stress-free but genuinely unforgettable. You are phenomenal at what you do!  Our wedding breakfast was unreal food and so many compliments.

Incredibly helpful staff and quick response times to queries. We had several tours of the venue, all super detailed, friendly and kind. Really liked everyone we met.

In addition, all members of staff working at the wedding provided the highest standard of service. Lots of my guests commented on this, and it just made the day so much better! Thank you!!

Faye was unbelievable. She was super calm, in control and got everything done on time. The wedding breakfast food was really delicious and served super timely. Faye!!! I’m so beyond grateful that Faye was our Personal Wedding Manager; she made the day so much better.

Bride & Groom – Amy & Jon

The presentation of the house internally was phenomenal – every time we visited it was immaculate, and that was no different on the big day.

The ceremony room and reception rooms were exactly how we envisaged them. The grounds are fantastically maintained, and everything was beautiful. Service both before and on the day was fantastic. Any queries we had were responded to quickly, we came and saw the venue multiple times prior to the wedding and had multiple meetings with our Personal Wedding Planner – nothing was too much!

We have nothing negative to say about the service on the day; food and bar service were smooth and quick, and everyone was so friendly! I cannot express how amazing Ellie was in the lead-up and on our wedding day. Nothing was too much of an ask, and she kept the day going so smoothly, and it was organised perfectly.

Bride & Groom – Paige & Frank

The house internally is absolutely stunning, with so many perfect details and character. Externally, the house and grounds were beautifully presented, with well-maintained greenery. The building has beautiful features.

Prior to the wedding, Faye was amazing! We couldn’t have wished for any better. Faye was able to answer any questions and helped out so much with changes, which, annoyingly, were quite frequent, but she always made me feel comfortable and happy to help. I couldn’t begin to write enough words to describe how amazing Faye was! She was an absolute godsend on the day and came to the rescue many a time, and on top of all that, she had the most calming, friendly presence, which made me feel so at ease on such an important day. She made everything so perfect for us and gave me so much reassurance in any moments I was nervous. She is amazing! Also, Elyssa (so sorry if I’ve spelt wrong), both were very helpful!
