“My partner and I had our civil partnership celebrations here. Focusing on the day, the set up was beautiful, the gardens were looking incredible and so well cared for, the food (snacks on arrival and buffet) was delicious, on time and garnered loads of complements. The staff were discreet but on hand when we needed them. The marquee on the lawns was the perfect environment for what we wanted to do, and staff even packed everything away and stored it for as at the end of the night.”
