We really felt like you cared...
“We wanted to say a huge thank you to you for everything you did for our wedding. We both had the best day and a huge part of that was knowing that we could rely on you to sort any problems quickly and quietly. We are so glad we chose Knighton House as our wedding venue. It is an absolutely beautiful venue and we love that we were the first people ever to get married in the courtyard! You made the whole process so enjoyable and personal - not like a chain wedding venue at all, we really felt like you cared which was so lovely. As a bit of a perfectionist, I also enjoyed the fact you have excellent taste and so I knew when you re-arranged the flowers and candles after the meal they would look spot on (which they absolutely did).

The complete freedom is brilliant!
“Thanks for all your help in planning our wedding. From our first visit to Knighton House we could tell how passionate you are about the venue. You we really helpful right from the word go and answered all of our questions clearly and honestly. Your attitude really helped us to decide where to have our wedding. We also loved the venue which offers so much flexibility and lots of options in terms of space and various locations for ceremony and the wedding breakfast. We were torn but ultimately so happy that we had the ceremony in the beautiful drawing room. We loved that we could plan the wedding we wanted and didn't have to choose from set wedding A or B as we found at lots of venues. The complete freedom available at Knighton House is brilliant! Your help setting up the day before was invaluable and I really appreciate the long hours you put in on the day before, the day of and the day after the wedding! You were there before we arrived and after we left every day! The day went off without a hitch and your coordination of all of the staff and various elements of the day meant that we didn't have to worry about a thing. We can't believe it is all over and wish you and all the lucky couples getting married at Knighton House all the best.”
