I honestly cannot recommend you all enough. You were all so kind and friendly to us on the day and we felt like we were in a dream.

Words cannot explain how brilliant and helpful your staff were. The planning stages were made so simple with the easy to use planning website, something I logged into most evenings! On the day the whole team knew everything that was happening hour by hour, the process was very regimented and worked absolute wonders. I want to thank you again for all making such an important day for us, just perfect!

Special thanks to Emma for having to deal with all my emails timely; to the two Sarah’s (especially evening Sarah for handling the drag DJ with a great sense of humour); and lastly Guy, who was there ensuring all was set up and coming to the rescue in fixing the button holes. The guests all commented on how amazing the house looked and how tentative the staff were during the wedding reception.

Thank you again so much.

Emma & Jamie

We are still on cloud 9 following the perfect day on Friday. Our wedding was everything we could have wanted and more – partly due to our friends, family (and the fantastic weather!) and partly due to the exceptional service Botleys staff provided on the day. They judged everything extremely well, there was never an empty glass or a lull in proceedings. Our guests were very happy and we were too. Special mention should go to the chefs – the meal was even better that at the tasting day! Thank you again for all your help, we only wish we could have slowed the day down and made it last longer, it went by in a flash.

Sally & Richard

We had an absolutely amazing day and are so grateful to everybody there as it all went so smoothly, professionally and thoughtfully. We particularly wanted to thank Sarah as she was awesome on the day – really really helpful and so many people commented to us about her. The venue itself is gorgeous and makes the whole day really special – lots of people say it’s the best venue they’ve been to. The food was delicious – from the canapés to the wedding breakfast, the bacon butties and the breakfast the next morning.

Holly & Carl

Hi Maddie, I just want to say a massive thank you for all your help planning our wedding! It was honestly a dream day for the both of us and we loved it.

Alison & Dylan

We had the most amazing day and look back on our day with the happiest of memories. Our wedding planner Aly was amazing from start to finish and a big shout out to Guy.

Kayleigh & Scott

Alex & Nina

We just wanted to drop a quick note to say thank you for a wonderful day yesterday. Everything was really painless and enjoyable and all the staff were eager to help whenever they could. Could you also pass on compliments to the chef as the food (the main in particular) received quite a number of rave reviews during the evening.

Sarah & Philip

Please pass on our sincerest gratitude to all the waiting and bar staff that worked on our day, all of whom performed their duties to the very highest level of professionalism. Everyone commented on how stunning the venue was, which was framed beautifully by the very pleasant weather (we were very lucky in that department), and how great the day was overall. I should also give a special mention to the chefs and catering. The food was good on our taster/testing sessions, but was utterly sublime on the day itself. The lamb was absolutely perfect, the starter great, and the desserts – considerably larger than anticipated – went down superbly.

Katie & Ross

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone for making our day absolutely perfect you all are the best!

Kindly thank all the members of staff that were on duty that day, especially The Master of Ceremony/event planner Guy, he was brilliant. We had a few particular guests, the fact that they all were complimentary is a testimony in itself.

The Sarah T, Sarah D, Guy and the team were fantastic and everything ran without a hitch! The pork pie cake was a massive hit and absolutely delicious! Thanks again to you and all the team at Botleys for helping to make our day magical!

Rachel & Nathan
