Dear Jade, Apologies I have been a bit absent, it’s difficult trying to communicate whilst working in a hospital, so I’m grateful for everything that’s happened. Thank you! Thank you very much for all of your help, from the very moment we found St Audries Park to the moment we decided it was completely our dream venue and we decided to book! You’ve been a great help to us along the way and we hugely appreciate your knowledge, kindness and understanding. We can’t wait to come back to St Audries Park very soon!

Thank you for hosting the best day of my life.
The minute we met Jade, who showed us around we said “take our money”. We didn’t have to look anywhere else. Liz was amazing on the day, I was so worried about little things but she had sorted everything down to a T. Amazing venue and fabulous staff. Just wish we could do it all again.

Nothing was too much for St Audries Park
We can honestly say we had one of the best days of our lives!

If I were to get married again I wouldn’t want to get married anywhere else
We absolutely loved our wedding day at St Audries Park, it was even more magical than we ever could have expected. The staff were exceptional, they did everything for us leading up to the wedding and on the day they made sure the whole day ran smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about anything. The venue is so unique and is one of the venues that I love in every season, it was so hard to choose when to get married! It’s such a versatile venue as you have the night before package for close family and wedding party, the choice of the Church or Orangery to get married in and a huge beautiful stately house with its own disco room!

Food was lovely, shame there was so much, it for wasted? Everyone was full! Rooms were... Wow... They were great. We stayed in the Main House. Breakfast was lovely. Not one bad thing to say!

It goes without saying our wedding manager Aly made our wedding day flawless.
I may even go as far as saying she might have made the storm go away and the sun come out for us!! She was much organised, so many guests have commented on how seamless the day was and how she was going round the tables making sure everyone had exactly what they ordered and asking if they needed anything. Not only that, dealing with all the suppliers coming in on the morning of our wedding and running around like a headless chicken so I didn’t have to think about a single thing other than getting myself ready! We were so blessed with an amazing venue, amazing photographer and weather!! Thank you guys for making our day just the best one of our lives.

Our lovely wedding planner, Aly Claydon-Mills, was so helpful.
She really did help ever so much and went far beyond any expectations we had. Nothing was too much trouble. Aly ensured that the day ran to schedule so at no point did the wedding party have to think or worry about the time. She was close by for any queries and made sure our guests were happy at all times. The service we received at St Audries Park felt very special from individually checking in the guests into their rooms to ensuring drinks were always topped up. All the staff were very attentive.

We had the most perfect day from start to finish.
Liz was very attentive on our wedding day and always there when we needed her! All of the staff are so lovely and very professional. There was a lovely lady and gentleman in the bar who were exceptionally great but unfortunately cannot remember their names. Everything was just the way we wanted and if we could do it all over again we would definitely choose St Audries Park again. Thank you for everything!

The night ended with an incredible firework display.
As soon as I got engaged I knew I wanted to get married at St Audries Park, there was no doubt about it. Jade was extremely helpful with sending me further details and helping me find the right date. I went to view the venue just over a week after getting engaged and I knew as soon as I got there that it was the only venue I wanted to view. Aly showed us around and discussed all the details with us and we ended up booking our wedding date there and then. We were assigned Courtney as our planning manager and she was absolutely amazing, we couldn’t have asked for someone more kind and helpful. Even on the day of the wedding she was …

Definitely a 5* venue
My husband and I got married at St Audries Park in September and had the most perfect wedding day! From the second we arrived we received such a warm welcome from everyone at the venue and were made to feel like royalty. The food was delicious, the staff were exceptional (particularly our wedding planner, Becci) and the setting was spectacular.  It was like a wonderful bubble with our nearest and dearest... and they are still talking about our special day 2 months later. It was everything we could have dreamed of and more! Also a special thank you to Aly & Sam who welcomed us on arrival and couldn't have done more for us (even though neither were our dedicated wedding planner). Exceptional staff... Thank …

Can't wait to go back to see our St. Audries family.
From the moment I walked into St. Audries I knew there was no other venue for us... it felt like a home away from home and offered us everything we had been looking for without compromise. Beautiful setting, amazing food, accommodation the night before and the night of the wedding... and it was just our friends and family. The staff, Aly in particular, couldn't have been more accommodating in helping us plan a wedding in the space of four months!! With so much included in our package, it really made the organisation and day run smoothly. Our guests haven't stopped saying 'It was the best day EVER' and we wouldn't change a thing. Can't wait to go back to see our St. Audries family.

The Orangery took our breath away, it was beautiful.
Claire, our Personal Wedding Manager was just amazing and she did everything to make sure that our day was just perfect! The Orangery took our breath away, it was beautiful. The cornfields at the back were the biggest surprise of the day too. Everyone watching the sunset there is a gorgeous memory and I never thought that my favourite photo from my wedding day would be in a cornfield!

We just had a gut feeling and trusted it, and we were right too.
Living in London made St Audries difficult to visit so we actually booked before going to see it!! We just had a gut feeling and trusted it, and we were right too. When we first saw St Audries we were blown away by it all (as were our guests on the big day). It was above and beyond what we could have expected. For us, it was the history and the people. From the moment we met Lynne, our Personal Wedding Manager, we felt special, loved and like our wedding mattered. It was amazing. Lynne is quite possibly the most incredible human being there is out there. She went above and beyond, and I can not thank her enough. Our day would have been great without her, but by having her …

The moment we pulled into the driveway we were completely blown away!
We met Jade the Sales Manager and she completely blew us away! She was friendly, wanted to know about us – took the time to understand what we were looking for, and even invited us for coffee! All our questions that we’d prepared were answered from our very first visit, we felt completely at ease & knew that we’d be well looked after. The moment we pulled into the driveway we were completely blown away! The grounds were absolutely stunning, & the Main House is just beautiful. We knew from the minute that we walked in that it was the perfect venue for us.

St Audries Park was just the perfect setting, everyone enjoyed themselves, there was plenty of space for everyone and everything that we wanted, the grounds outside made for beautiful pictures and the orangery was perfect for the ceremony.
