Words can’t express how much both my husband and I loved our magical perfect wedding day. (Even the Sun came out). However we are going to try......
From meeting Laura and Wendy last March, the wedding team. We found them both helpfully, approachable and knowledgeable going out of their way over the 18 months of planning to make our day perfect for us. Also answering our 5 million questions.
Prior to our day we met with Michael and Wendy to discuss timings etc, Easing our last minute nerves. We had both planned a surprise for each other on the day which both Michael and Wendy managed to keep our respected surprises just that a surprise!!!!!
The day was PERFECT!!!!!!! Michael and and all the staff at the hotel were fantastic. We had two elderly disabled relatives coming to the wedding. The staff were excellent looking after them going above and beyond to the point of the staff the following morning bringing them over for breakfast and packing their room for them.
There is not one staff member we can say anything negative about. They were all excellent and professional.
Food wow!!!! We have had nothing but compliments about the food! No one went hungry!! Please pass are compliments onto the chef and their entire team and hope they liked the cake 👍. We know there was a lot of work and people behind the scenes.
Even the ‘picky’ guests had a clean plate.
Bar again excellent!! Prices were on the high side for spirts and mixers but pints were pretty respectable. Although we did feel sorry for the gentleman at the residents bar who we kept busy until the early hours as the celebrations continued. We didn’t want the day to end and neither did our guests who rolled in there beds gone 3am.
Breakfast excellent again!!!! Everyone loved the buffet style breakfast. Again the staff went above and beyond looking after relatives who were traveling home to America and even took care of a late guest the morning of the wedding who couldn’t manage the 3:40am finish in the bar the day before the wedding and turned up late for breakfast.
Overall we would both fully recommend Kilhey Court. We are both big believers in treating people how you would like to be treated. As such every member of staff involved in our day we wanted them to feel as much a part of the day as are guests. We have had nothing but praise from all our guests about the venue and staffs professionalism. I was literally in tears saying Thank you to staff as we left.
The layout of our whole day worked. We had the Tennyson suite venue and with people who struggled to walk distances were able to managed the room transitions. We didn’t realise at the time but the larger venue (New build) just wouldn’t have worked for us with our numbers (70 - 90) and people walking issues
On a side note Michael obviously having an abundance of experience had his little quirks. Giving the children their meals a couple of minutes before the adults work very well as the children were all seated prior to the guests food being served. With it being our wedding he also tried to ensure that we were the first to try the canopies and the evening bacon butties. Little things like this but in our case wasn’t needed but some couples I think would have appreciated it. We were on to much of a high with the actual guests and venue that we went without. From the grooms perspective a lot of little additions arose on the day that the staff catered for which wasn’t previously planned for. For example coffee for the bridesmaids whilst getting make up done and tea for our elderly guests as they waited for their early check
In.
‘Thankyou Kilhey Court for all your efforts, you made the day perfect for us.
