The moment we toured the Yarrow we knew it was where we wanted to get married. Lee was so helpful, ensuring all questions were asked and even giving us information we didnt think of asking. It was apparent he knew the hotel and wedding management inside out.
Once booked we began working very closely with Alexis, the events coordinator, having regular catchups to ensure the ball was always moving. We were able to tailor the whole day around our needs and this was something I didnt think was possible. Alexis was also amazing at liaising with our other suppliers chasing things up with them when sometimes we were left hanging a bit. This was something I so valued.
On the day of the wedding Alexis and Lee were both on hand coordinating myself and my husband, and ensuring everything came together well. We had a specific piece of music that I walked down the aisle to and Alexis was kind enough to be on hand to let each of the bridal party know when we should start walking. This was well received after a disastrous rehersal the day before where we all found it too funny to take seriously.
Alexis and the team coordinated the team beautifully from behind the scenes, keeping us updated and managing so much more than we even realised. The day went without a hitch thanks to Alexis.
In the afternoon Paul, the night manager, took over and he was just fantastic, again constantly keeping us up to date and supervising so we could enjoy our evening. My mum also appreciated how on hand he was at topping up her wine glass :-)
The food was absolutely divine and we had so many comments about how tasty it was from our guests. The chefs also catered both the main meal and buffet to a variety of food intolerances and preferences .This also involved poor Paul chasing down the Vegans to make sure they got their personalised platters.
The next day everything had been organised for us so packing up was no bother at all.
The venue is stunning, inside and out, the gardens are so beautifully maintained. Nothing was too much for anyone.
I would highly recommend this venue, and the team running it. Often you get a beautiful venue, or a helpful team but The Yarrow has both!!
