The day was absolutely flawless, the waiting staff, barstaff and DJ were brilliant, and everybody was raving about the food andhow well looked after we all were. The venue was beautiful and we got verylucky with the weather, so all in all it was a brilliant day. And of courseAlex was absolutely beautiful as I knew she would be! Huge thanks to yourself and Jo for putting up with all our questions overthe last 18 months and helping us stay positive when we didn't know if we'dbe able to have the wedding we wanted - we got there in the end!

I don't know where to start with such an incredible day we had. Absolutely blown away! Working with you and your team in the run up was absolutely faultless and ensured the day was as we had dreamed of.From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, nothing was too much trouble and the team were always a few steps ahead allowing Simon and I to really enjoy the day. Lisa and Barbara were a god send. They really helped me throughout the day, even helping me breath before going in to the ceremony! There is so much more I could write about how fantastic it was but I would be here all day! Please pass my huge thanks on to the whole team who was part of our amazing day. You guys really are incredible!Kindest regardsCharlotte & Simon

I wanted to reach out to you and thank you so much for an amazing day. I'm sure like a Swan, your team were peddling hard under the water, but from ours and our guests perspective, the day went off without a hitch, and we can't thank you enough. Everything from your colleagues during the day who were incredibly supportive, warm and friendly, to the food that was impeccable. The feedback from all of our guests has been superb.

We can't recommend Notley Abbey enough, we had to rearrange our wedding 4 times due to covid and they made it so easy to finally get our special day! Our wedding day was fantastic, the venue and staff were amazing and did everything possible to make our day exactly as we wanted it! We had our dream wedding and we can't thank Notley Abbey enough for helping to make this possible!
