We chose Thursford!

​

From our very first meeting with Melissa and Emma at the East Anglian Wedding Show we found Thursford Garden Pavilion to be a unique choice! It wasn’t until we met with Emma and Melissa again that we realised it was the most beautiful and utterly magical venue which ticked all the boxes for us both. From that very first moment, we’d found our perfect venue! 

​

Not only did Emma and Melissa help with making our day so very magical but any problem I encountered, which seemed so big to me, was a walk in the park for this duo! 

​

We had planned to marry in the beautiful Barn but realised that we had more guests than was allowed! But this was no problem for the Thursford team, they gave us some different options and invited us to come back and have a second, third and even forth visit! We decided to move our ceremony to the actual museum just in front of the Gallopers! And oh my what a beautiful place to tie the knot. 

Not only beautiful but unique! It’s not everyday you get married so only the best would do! 

​

We stayed at the wonderful Holly Lodge. Not only did Teresa make our stay a whole new experience, but the whole place was absolutely fantastic in decor from the suit of amour in the entrance as you walk through the door to the pictures hung on the walls of doggy portraits, it looked so sophisticated! The breakfast I could smell wafting up to our rooms was so delicious. The rooms were all clean and tidy, every effort was made to make our stay there incredible which it truly was thanks to Teresa and her team.

​

On the day of the wedding Melissa ran the whole show effortlessly, all I had to do was get dressed, relax and enjoy the whole experience, which I did in style! 

We both had the most magical day, with every guest saying how amazing and pretty Thursford was, everyone loved riding on the Gondola and the Gallopers which made the most unique wedding a dream come true! 

​

We’ve had so many comments from guests saying “it was the best wedding they had ever been too”. I can truly say I felt like a beautiful princess in a magical kingdom marrying her Prince Charming. We can’t praise and thank Thursford Garden Pavilion and the team enough for our unique wedding experience. We both hope to come back very soon.
