Best wedding ever!
Working with the wedding team at Stoke-by-Nayland was an absolute dream, they went above and beyond in every way possible to ensure our wedding day fit the visions we had. Our day went perfectly, everything run smoothly thanks to the work of Melanie and the team, we couldn’t have asked for a better day! They included the tiniest details we never could have imagined, for example our toast drinks were laid out in the shape of a love heart with our initials and it really did add such a sweet touch. Having our suite and breakfast included within the cost was an added bonus.. so spacious, amazingly comfortable bed and the breakfast options were endless!

Above and Beyond!
Our wedding coordinator, Melanie, was fantastic and very supportive and helpful throughout the whole experience! All the staff at SbN were fantastic, even helping us pack up our car the next day. Food is perfect, even allowing some custom alterations to make it just what you want. Beautiful venue and even on a rainy day, Melanie made accommodations to make sure we didn't get wet or muddy going onto the golf course for pictures. Everyone was superb with our nephew who has autism and tried to make him as comfortable as possible. When another vendor had brought the wrong supplies the morning of our wedding, Melanie stepped in to try to make it as smooth as possible and that our vision for our wedding was met. Overall an 11/10 experience and we cannot be more grateful to Melanie and all the staff at Stoke by Nayland Resort. Thank you :)

Vow renewal
We worked with Melanie for our vow renewal. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, was extremely helpful and nothing we asked for/or about was too much for her. Our planning and day would not have been so successful without her at the helm. The venue was fantastic, the rooms, the food & drinks were amazing. It all added to make it a very special day for both of us.

SBN
Good points; the DJ ( called "My Big Fat Wedding" ) was good. The venue with its vast grounds gave a good background. The reception staff were very helpful. The make-up service was of a high standard. Bad points; slow response to our e-mails. We had to regularly correct the Wedding Planner over details that we had pointed out in previous e-mails. On the day, the service from the planner was adequate but she was not open to any ideas or suggestions given to her. We had previously asked for a "open seating" sign to be available but this was ignored. The gift "pillar box" had a broken lock which should have been repaired prior to the wedding. The wedding cake bottom tier was not retained despite our request for this to happen.

Summer Tipi Wedding
My husband and I got married at the tipi site at Stoke by Nayland Resort on August 19th 2023. We couldn't have wished for a more perfect day. Melanie was our wedding co-ordinator and she was brilliant from the moment we booked through to the day itself. I bombarded her with emails about silly little decor questions I had (DIY wedding!) and she could not have been more helpful - I feel like I made a friend thorough out this process! The day was absolute perfect and we have had so many guests share the same sentiments - Even commenting on having met Melanie at the wedding and how much they loved her! We had a festival style wedding with 3 different food trucks, 3 different live music acts, lots of lawn games, a smaller bell tent for the children etc. - Nothing was too much! I would definitely recommend SBN as a wedding venue - It will be everything you dreamed of!

Thank you for making our day so special
Professional, friendly, warm, relaxed, attentive. Just a few words to describe the amazing staff at Stoke by Nayland Resort. From start to finish, the whole experience felt so easy, not least to our wonderful wedding planner Mel. She was always willing to put our needs first, and this day we're still super grateful. THANK YOU AGAIN MEL :D If we could do the entire day again, we would pick Stoke by Nayland. Amazing venue and people. Much Love x
