Don't just take our word for it - hear from our Notley couples

Hallie & Andrew

Thank you so much! I think we are still recovering from all of the fun and excitement but we had the absolute best day and the Notley team was absolutely incredible. From ensuring we got the ceremony outside to being flexible all day long with the weather and shifting timelines – you were all fantastic hosts and amazing to work with.

Keri & Paul

Wow wow wow! We had a fantastic day at Notley for our wedding. The entire planning process was made so easy by Maisie who helped us with every question! On the day itself we could not have asked for more. The team completely blew us away, especially Natalie and Philippa who looked after our every need. The day was effortless, and we were made to feel really special throughout.

Izzy & Andrew

We just wanted to say a huge thanks for the wonderful wedding our daughter Izzy and son-in-law Andy had at Notley Abbey. The venue is absolutely stunning – all of the guests were bowled over by the setting and the attention to detail. The staff were second to none. We know they are doing their job, but they made it feel special for our family and friends. Izzy’s brother, Owen, has learning difficulties and all of the staff went out of their way to make sure his needs were catered for and he was looked after. Nothing was too much trouble and it took away a lot of stress for us as Izzy’s parents. Please pass our thanks to all involved – your attention to details is second to none and the care you employ to make sure the day goes without a hitch is exemplary.

We genuinely cannot put into words just how wonderful our wedding day was. It was everything we had hoped for and so much more — without a doubt, one of the best day of our lives. From the planning stages right through to the wedding itself, we felt well looked after. What meant the most to us was that we were able to be completely present and enjoy our day. We weren’t worrying about logistics or checking that things were being done — the team had it covered, which is exactly what you want on your wedding day. It really was more than we could ever have imagined. We came away feeling like we had experienced the most perfect day, and we will always be incredibly grateful to the whole team for the care, effort and attention that went into making it so special.

Hannah & Sam

If I could do my wedding all over again, I’d choose Notley Abbey every time. Not only is it absolutely stunning, but every detail made the day so special and memorable. Maisie was available whenever we needed during the planning process and nothing was too much trouble. I felt relaxed and in safe hands. We had a lot of guests with dietary needs and others who are fussy eaters. None of this was a problem and each request was executed perfectly and without fuss. We’ve had nothing but great feedback from all our guests about how well taken care of they were!  The team at Notley Abbey really let us have our day our way and all the little personal touches they helped us include made the day perfect for us. You’re not just booking a gorgeous venue, you’re booking a seamless, personalised wedding experience from start to finish.

Thank you for throwing us our dream wedding. From the very beginning of planning the wedding, we felt at absolute ease with the team and we knew we were working with experienced, knowledgeable professionals with extremely high standards. Maisie, your input and planning throughout really made the day. We felt that you were honest with us throughout and seemed to really personally care that our day came together perfectly. Dan, thanks for making us feel so important throughout the process and for taking so much time over the wine! We felt like very special guests at the tasting. Thank you again!

Honestly the wedding was incredible. We both loved every minute of it and all the feedback from guests has been that they loved it and were very impressed with the venue, the food and the whole atmosphere. I think it’s safe to say our expectations were completely exceeded! A big thank you from us to the staff on the day. Everyone was so lovely and attentive, particularly the on the day coordinators!

Molly & James

We had the best day of our lives, it completely surpassed expectations! For us our favourite things were how light touch the day was managed, it felt like we were “left to it” in a good way while still feeling confident that everything was going to plan behind the scenes. We really appreciate the way you set up the aisle walk for Molly’s sister who had a disability, and helped create a moment that she is incredibly proud of and that we’ll all never forget. Everybody commented on the beauty of the venue, the kind staff, and the great food. Notley will always hold a special place in our hearts, we’d love to come back one day!

Thank you so so so much for the incredible showstopper of a wedding you put on last week. Everyone was blown away, and Tom and I are still on cloud nine. There wasn’t a single thing we would change. Our appreciation cannot be overstated. I have honestly never felt more special in my life. Thank you thank you thank you.

Giorgia & Callum

We honestly couldn’t have chosen a more perfect venue than Notley Abbey for our wedding. From the moment we booked, the entire team went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly as we had envisioned. A special thank you to Maisie, who was absolutely amazing throughout the planning process. On the day, Philippa was incredible. She was so attentive, calm, and organised, and genuinely couldn’t do enough for us or our guests. The grounds are absolutely stunning, and the service throughout was impeccable. Every single one of our guests was completely wowed by the venue, and we’ve had so many compliments about how beautiful everything was.

Hannah & Sindu

From the second we walked up the beautiful driveway of Notley Abbey, we knew it was the venue for us. The beautiful grounds and stunning building captivated us from day one. What made this venue even more special was how amazing and incredible the staff were. Throughout the planning process, Maisie was absolutely incredible. She listened to everything and was always there to answer any questions that we had. On the day, the team were absolutely amazing. We had planned for an outdoor June wedding, and it rained all day! But it didn’t matter in the slightest. With such a beautiful venue outdoors and inside too, a team that worked so hard to make the day seamless, our wedding day was everything that we had dreamed of. Everyone was so kind, friendly and professional. They made us feel at ease before the ceremony, were organised, and took time to look after us, ensuring that we were well-fed, hydrated and looked after throughout the day. All of these little touches made the day feel even more special. Thank you to Notley Abbey from the bottom of our hearts – we would recommend you to anyone!

Holly & Pete

We were supported throughout planning by Maisie, and on the day by Philippa, who were incredible in making our day perfect for us. The online planner really helped to keep our day organised. The food was amazing, the service even better. Our guests loved the food and the set up of the bars throughout the day. The grounds were spectacular, helped by the weather on our day but absolutely would have worked with the rain to move inside and accommodate our 140 guests. This venue just says yes, and makes it work. We had trestle tables, not round, and fireworks. Both things that Notley helped us to accommodate that other venues didn’t.

Holley & Jack

We can’t thank you all enough for everything you’ve done for us in the lead up and on our wedding day. We havent stopped talking about all of the little details we keep remembering. Our guests keep messaging us about how fantastic the day was and how incredible the venue is. All of the service from each member of staff on the day was second-to-none so thank you to each and everyone of you. Phillipa, Maisie and Finn were outstanding on the day. Maisie, thank you for everything you did in the lead up to our wedding, you answered all my questions so promptly and professionally and organised everything we needed. Phillipa, I need you to be my mentor every day. Thank you for quietly and efficiently organising the day so effortlessly and then just chatting like my best friend when I needed to take a minute and take it all in. Finn, thank you for organising all of our wishes in the evening! No question was too demanding for any of you and we’ll be forever grateful. Thank you again from the bottom of our very full, newly-wedded hearts.
