From the first moment of meeting Melissa who immediately made us feel welcome, we fell in love with Thursford. We visited numerous other venues, but we kept saying to each other “it’s not Thursford”. We quickly decided that it was the only place where we wanted to get married.

Melissa and Kerry were with us every step of the journey, even responding quickly to my 5am emails! They invited us back to the venue at different occasions to see the different layouts, helping us make the best decisions on our big day. They responded to my endless phone calls and emails within 24 hours and put us at ease with their professionalism and lovely nature.

The whole team at Thursford on the eve of the wedding could not have been more helpful, helping us organise the reception area and the barn to make it look exactly how we envisaged. They were moving sofas, tables and decorations, making us feel that nothing was too much of an effort.

We booked their local accommodations, Holly lodge for two nights which was perfect. The Holly lodge team were fantastic, from making the perfect breakfast which offered a great variety to their friendliness and kindness. We will definitely be booking to stay there again and can’t recommend it enough. The Shepherds hut where we stayed on the night of the wedding was beautifully secluded and offered amazing comfort.

The day of our wedding went so smoothly due to Melissa, Sam and the rest of the team’s communication. Their timings were perfect in every aspect and we never felt any stress. It really felt they were with us every step of the way.

Although my husband wasn’t sure about booking the carousel initially, after the wedding he said that he was so glad we did. All of the guests young and old enjoyed it immensely and the photos we got of them and ourselves on it were amazing! We loved seeing their faces going round and loving every minute.

The venue itself is such a beautiful place with the secret garden, museum, garden pavilion and barn. The grounds themselves turned into something magical at night, with the trees and bushes lit up like something out of a movie.

We cannot recommend Thursford enough as a wedding venue. The only downside was that the day had to end and we had to say our goodbyes.

Thursford itself is beautiful but ultimately, it was Melissa and the whole team who helped make the day what it was.
