Don’t just take our word for it – read what our Notley couples say about their wedding day.
Rebecca & Dom

We wanted to say a huge, huge thank you to you, and to everyone who was involved in helping our planning come to life, and especially to the team who were there on the day itself. From the second we arrived at Notley on the morning of our wedding we were taken care of extremely well, everything was incredibly smooth, the team were all so helpful and no ask was too big (we especially appreciated having a couple of canapés held back for us!). We can’t get over what an amazing day it was, so thank you again for the part you and everyone at Notley played in that!

I cannot thank the team enough at Notley Abbey for their help with the wedding. Everything was easy from the planning and the day itself. The care and dedication they show to putting on the best day possible for you and your family is incredible. We had the most perfect day and felt so looked after and cared for – to the point we felt like guests at our own day! The biggest thank you to all the team and a special shoutout to Daisy, Maisie, Gemma and Natalie who went above and beyond for us throughout the whole process. Thank you so much.

Hannah & Alex

Notley Abbey was just a beautiful venue, inside and out. We fell in love with it as soon as we saw it, and the day itself was wonderful. The staff were incredibly kind, patient, organised, reassuring, and at no point did we have to stress about where to be or when the next thing was happening – there was always someone on hand to help. The staff went above and beyond to make sure it was the day of our dreams and our Notley planner helped us throughout our wedding planning journey to make sure we had everything in place.

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. 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.

Rebecca & Sam

From the first day we viewed Notley, we loved the venue and the staff. 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. We’re truly grateful to have had our wedding at Notley.
