What can we say about THE best day of our lives, better than we ever could have imagined… other than THANK YOU BOTLEYS! Without a doubt the most perfect venue and we could not have asked for more. From the incredible food, to the impeccable service, to the flawlessly beautiful & clean venue, we were blown away by how special the venue and day was and so were our guests. The bedrooms onsite added such a special touch, getting ready on the day and having breakfast the next morning with our nearest & dearest. We honestly could not recommend Botleys more… our guests have continually commented on the WOW factor of the venue, especially our grand entrance via the atrium stairs! We are still on cloud 9 and recovering for the greatest party we have been to – there are no words to sum up truly how thankful we are to Botleys Mansion and how much of a special place it will always remain in our hearts.

We had a wonderful day and excellent feedback from all our guests, the staff were excellent and made everything run perfectly. Everyone had a lot of fun and everyone is smiling in all our pictures. Mickayla did an excellent job and passed over to the night manager without a hitch, the night manager was also very accommodating and really made the day for us. Further big thanks to Jane and Gill who really helped us on the day, helping with our kids and keeping the bride nerves calm.

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. From the very start of the planning process, everything felt smooth, exciting, and completely stress-free. We looked at many other venues, but as soon as we drove down Notley’s beautiful tree-lined drive, we just knew it was the place for us. It really is such a magical setting.
A huge personal thank you to you, Gemma, for being there on the day. Your calm, reassuring presence meant the world to us, and we truly felt in such safe hands throughout. You made everything feel effortless and allowed us to just enjoy every moment.
Our guests haven’t stopped talking about how incredible the day was. So many have said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. The food, drinks, and service were all outstanding, and the atmosphere throughout the day was everything we’d dreamed of.

From the first day we viewed Notley, we loved the venue and the staff. We were shown around the venue with a glass of prosecco, having the history explained to us and the services they offered. While we sat looking at photos of previous weddings, we were given some canapes to sample too. The staff responded quickly to any queries we had and helped us with vendors too. The food tasting was incredible, with a variety of choices and a sommelier to advise on what wines paired best with each course. The attention to detail was immaculate throughout the whole planning experience and the day of. The morning of our wedding, it rained, and upon arrival we were met by staff with umbrellas leading us to the building, and again when I walked to the ceremony. Ellie kept us in the loop all day, and helped make the day absolutely perfect for us. Our guests all noted how professional the staff were, and how beautiful the venue was. We’re truly grateful to have had our wedding at Notley.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! You have been there with us every step of the way, ensuring all the details in our heads were understood and conveyed to the full team. We loved collaborating with you – you really did help us create the wedding of our dreams!! Whenever we told people about the online portal, they would say why doesn’t every venue have that. From two people who like to have control, the portal was a godsend and being able to go through it in minute detail did make all the difference on the day!
Please could you also pass on our thanks to Esther, Jack and Lucy, our dream team during the ‘live’ proceedings. Honestly the moment Esther walked through the door and could literally narrate every detail of the plans that have been in our heads for the past 18 months, it was like a weight had been lifted. I have never been so relaxed as I was the whole day knowing that everything was under control! All the team were amazing and we could not have asked for more, everything exceeded our expectations and we both came away saying we would not change a thing – that would not have been possible without you all!!

We want to say a huge thank you for our wedding day. From the first time we visited Cain Manor, we couldn’t have imagined getting married anywhere else. The venue was stunning and the team made us feel welcome immediately. Nothing was too much trouble and your experience ensured everything went smoothly and we could just relax and enjoy the day. We had so many compliments about the food, venue and staff (shout out to Jill for making sure everyone’s glass was full!). Thank you for everything!

We just wanted to say we had an absolutely amazing time on Saturday, it couldn’t have been more perfect and you truly did bring all our ideas and requests to life! Thank you so much again for answering all our questions over the last year and making sure everything ran smoothly on the day. We got so many compliments about the food too, and our friend, Hannah, really appreciated being catered for so well when she is allergic to nearly everything!

Thank you for providing the venue of our dreams for our wedding day. It was honestly the best day of our lives. The staff were brilliant on the day and nothing was too much trouble. Ellie in particular was amazing, so attentive and helpful. All of our guests were so impressed with the venue and the staff, we’ve had so many comments since – so thank you!

Quite honestly we have been amazed at how incredible the whole day was. From the groundsmen waving us in first thing in the morning, the calming support of the team when setting up the cake. The immaculate presentation of the grounds and reception areas with all our request perfectly fulfilled, the wedding breakfast room set up with such complete precision and care.
The front of house staff were amazing, attentive, engaging, funny. Nothing seemed like too much trouble. The seemingly effortless yet outstanding service is testimony to a huge effort behind the scenes. The food was beautifully and consistently presented. Generous portions, and delicious from start to finish. Everyone commented it was some of the best food they had had.
There is no doubt you have the perfect recipe for a wonderful event, credit to the entire team for their dedication, care and commitment. You made the day so so special for Rebecca and Mitchell, we will all remember Cain Manor, and the team fondly. You should all be rightly proud, even the toughest of us had a tear in our eyes when we pulled out on the Saturday.

Thank you so much for helping make our wedding day absolutely perfect on the day. Everything ran so smoothly, and the venue looked stunning, we couldn’t have asked for a better setting to celebrate such a special occasion.

Wanted to say thank you all so so much for making our dreams come true on Saturday – we both had the absolute best day in the world and of our lives by far, with a large part of that all down to the incredible work you all did all day and in the lead up. There were so many amazing things we couldn’t mention all of it and thank you for delivering most of our many request and set-ups on the day!
We do though want to call out Sarah! Oh my gosh what an absolute godsend. I was so stressed and frazzled in the morning and Sarah had the most calming presence and effect and struck the balance perfectly between updating us on what was going on and timings whilst not overwhelming us. We felt completely in safe hands. No request was too much for her and she was so so lovely to both of us and just made sure we were both happy and feeling the best we could at any moment.

We choose Cain Manor because the beauty of it literally swept us off our feet. We planned our wedding with Cain Manor because the journey was seamless and adaptable and we celebrated our wedding day this May with Cain Manor because we knew the day was going to be everything we ever dreamed of.
On the day, everything was personalised to us and the attention to details was exceptional. The team’s main job seemed be to make sure that we were happy the whole day. This included giving me (the bride) the space to breathe and eat!
I wouldn’t change a thing about our day but I would give anything to experience it all over again.

One of the best parts of our experience was our assigned coordinators on the day as they made us feel so special and at ease. Betty, Lucy, and Antonio were all so kind, helpful, and went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly and wait on us hand and foot, and we can’t overstate this enough! I even got some of the canapé on my dress and Lucy was a hero coming in to help clean it off so it was barely there. Botleys truly has thought of every detail and every way in which couples can personalise their wedding to their desire! We are very appreciative of the flexibility of the team at Botleys and Harper.

I just wanted to say thank you all for the most amazing day. We enjoyed every minute of it (even the slightly more chaotic elements). I know it sounds cheesy – but I can definitely say it was the best day of my life. Thanks to all of you for making it happen! All of the staff were so friendly and helpful throughout the day, it really made it special. The food and bar service was absolutely spot on, and the filipino flags in the Kwek kwek were such a cute touch. All of the guests we spent time with the next day were giving the venue and staff the highest praise – saying it was leagues above other weddings they had been to!!

Thank you the entire team for how perfect our wedding was on Friday. We could not have asked for the day to have gone more seamlessly. The whole team were immense and we really felt looked after. We will be eternally grateful for the role you all played in what was a perfect day at a special venue.
30.05.2025
Thank you so much for making sure we had the most fantastic day on Wednesday. You were there every step of the way to make sure our day was perfect and it really truly was. It was everything we had hoped for and more. Our guests kept commenting on how great you all were, how amazing the food was and how they were having such a great time.
We can’t believe it’s over but we are certainly planning to make sure we come back next year for our anniversary!
Thank you so much again on behalf of us both and our families.
28.05.2025
You exceeded our expectations and more. Our day was truly magical and it was all down to you.
A massive thank you to Lucy who was absolutely amazing from the minute we all arrived to the minute we left she was unbelievable and there was nothing that was too much or too small. She made me feel so relaxed and the way she was with the whole wedding party was unbelievable, everyone said how amazing she was so please pass on our thanks to her she is a star!!
Again thank you so much. We are so happy we chose Botleys Mansion, it is an absolute wow factor venue and wish we could do it all again.
25.05.2025
We wanted to say a massive thank you once again to the whole team for our wedding last Friday. It was such a magical day and we’re still on such a high from one of the best days of our lives. Thank you to everyone for helping make it happen.

I just wanted to start by saying a huge thank you from Aish and I for all of your help over the past few months in making our wedding last Saturday, absolutely perfect! We had an amazing day and the feedback from all of our guests was incredible!
Kelly thanks for all of your support in the final few weeks of planning, it was an absolute pleasure working with you and sorry it was all a bit last minute from our side but we couldn’t appreciate your support any more!
Esther, it was a pleasure to meet you on Saturday and thank you so much for ensuring everything ran smoothly and making sure we could enjoy the day!
17.05.2025
I just wanted to say a massive thank you – the wedding was absolutely perfect! It went without a problem and the team were incredible! If you could pass on our special thanks to Ellie – she looked after both the bride and groom parties and was amazing in making us feel at ease throughout the day and checking in. The venue, team and day was absolutely perfect and made our day so so special.
