Testimonials from our happy couples

 

“It is very hard to know how to thank you enough for everything you did to make our wedding day so wonderful.  From the first meeting to the day itself you’ve been such a great source of support and we couldn’t have wished for a more fabulous team to manage our wedding.

We know you have weddings almost every weekend throughout the summer months and yet Michelle was so attentive and cheerful that we felt like the only couple getting married!

We were so grateful for all the help tying the ribbons on the napkins. Making the postbox and, of course, for the use of the garden furniture which was very well used in the evening.

The day itself was amazing and our guests were gushing about everything from the food and helpful staff to the beautiful setting of the court itself- and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice.

MERIEL & ALEX BODDINGTON (23rd June 2007)



 

“A really big thank you to you all for making Lisa and Andy’s wedding day so special. 

We also had a wonderful time and we will always remember the personal touches such as Simon and his Dad coming over to Lisa and Andy to wish them all the best and happiness.  Thank you Kathryn for all your kindness, care and thoughtfulness during the day.  We have some wonderful memories of a very special day. 

Sending many thanks with lots of love.  Birtsmorton will always have a Special Place in our hearts.

SHEILA & MICHAEL KING – Parents of Lisa King (3rd November 2007)



 

“Dear Sally (Wedding Coordinator)

2 weeks gone already from Becky and Brendan’s wonderful and very special day.  I really knew that I should write a very special thank you to you for everything you personally did to help it go so smoothly.

You did more than that though.  You are very professional and experienced but you have such a lovely caring personality as well.  Chris actually mentioned you personally in his speech so this is my very own thank you”.

JEAN THOMAS – Mother to Rebecca Hobbs (15th September 2007)



 

“Thank you all so much for helping to make our wedding such a success.  We both had such a wonderful day, albeit it went very quickly.  It was also such a surprise, when the following day we opened the beautiful picture of Birtsmorton Court.

Love and best wishes to you all”.

HELEN & DAN SMITH (31st August 2007)



 

“Thank you for allowing us the privilege of using your striking home for our ‘Big Day’.

The photographs are truly stunning and capture the magnificence of the architecture and manicured grounds.  Birtsmorton Court provided the perfect back drop for what was a truly memorable day for us, our friends and family”.

IAN CRUXTON & AMANDA CRUXTON-CHANCE (17th August 2007)



 

“We wanted to say a huge thank you to you both for all your hard work, planning and enthusiasm.

We wanted the day to be relaxed and informal and you gave us exactly what we wanted – thanks to your planning and professionalism, it went more smoothly on the day than we ever dreamt it would.  Thanks also for accommodating our brother’s slide show in the evening.  It really could not have been more perfect and there is nothing we would have changed or done differently.

It was great to use Sally’s house for getting ready and for the children to play/sleep in in the evening.  It worked well and the parents of the children really appreciated it.

Thanks to you both and your team – you really made it our dream day”.

KATIE & CHRISTOPH (25th May 2007)



 

“Dear Michelle, (Wedding Coordinator)

Rory and I cannot thank you enough for organising and bringing together the best day of our lives.  Without your help, I don’t think I’d have been so calm nor would Rory’s ushers been so efficient!  We had a blast and will never forget how incredible Birtsmorton is.  Can’t wait to see you soon for a catch up”.

ELLIE AND RORY EDGAR (11th August 2007)



 

“We wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for ensuring we had such a lovely wedding day.  Thanks to the weather your venue really showed of its best and everyone said what a lovely place it was for our wedding.  Thanks also for the picture, it was a lovely surprise”.

KAREN & PHIL McNAMARA 



 

“After many years of organising weddings from many different angles, to attending weddings and acting as best man, can I express my sincere praise to yourself, Michelle and all the staff that made the day run so excellently.

Michelle’s organisational skills were superb and everything ran like clockwork.  The meetings that I attended previously with her were excellently conducted and professionally arranged.  No detail was left to chance.

On the day the venue was as discussed and all the staff were extremely helpful and co-operative.  This made my duties very easy and enabled me to enjoy myself.  This was echoed by the band, disco and casino people who were working for me on the day”.

STEVE HIGH (Best Man at CLAIR & DAVID KLING (4th August 2007)



 

“My husband and I are writing to say a very sincere thank you for the extremely efficient and friendly way you dealt with our daughter’s wedding.

Beth-Marie and Chris had the most wonderful day for their wedding.  Simon – thank you for your time and effort and the magical fireworks.  Michelle – thank you for your ever smiling face, your efficiency and good humour and the hours spent planning a ‘clockwork’ day.  Nothing was too much trouble, you were brilliant!  Sally – thank you for the use of your home.  It proved to be very useful and mums with babes were most grateful.

To everyone else, waitresses, both sets of caterers, bar staff and those behind the scenes our heartfelt thanks for your superb attention.  The food was delicious and the drinks most acceptable!

We would recommend Birtsmorton Court without hesitation.

CHRIS & MIKE BRISTOW (Parents of the bride)  14th April 2007



 

“We wanted to write and thank you all so much for the help, advise and support that we received before, during and after our wedding. The feedback from all our guests about your wonderful venue was superb.  The setting speaks for itself but your team delivered a service to match the majestic yet historic place.

On the day we found the relaxed yet efficient atmosphere easy to enjoy and our ushers, bridesmaids and helpers were well advised by all of you. The cuisine was of an excellent standard and as for the pig, well, the rugby element were easily won over by the taste and presentation.

As a couple looking for the perfect day, you spend hours, days even years planning the big day.  We were no exception.  However, after all the planning the day can go in many directions.  Having had time to reflect both Kerry and I can find no fault.  Whilst we paid you a reasonable amount. The financial side was good value for money.  In particular, Michelle and Kathryn’s management style enabled our guests and us to take the whole thing in at an easy pace and enjoy and cherish every last moment.  We will be recommending you to all our friends and business contacts.

Thanks for the perfect wedding

KERRY & MATHEW ELWELL (30th June 2007)



 

“Mark and I would like to thank you for our fantastic wedding day.  The day was perfect and nothing could have gone better.  I was very re-assured to see you when I arrived and could see that you had everything in hand.

All our guests have said how beautiful the location was and for them to see me arrive on the horse and cart was the icing on the cake.

The sun was shinning which made the day even better but I am re-assured that even if the sun had not been shinning the day would still have been perfect.  Thank you for all your help in the run up to the wedding and during the day itself.  You were there all day for any concerns we had, of which we had none.  I would also like to thank you for showing many of our guests around the grounds.  I was unaware of this until we returned from our honeymoon but many of our family have said how lovely it was to have a personal tour around the court”.

NATASHA & MARK (3rd August 2007)



 

“Our daughters wedding took place a month ago already, and the memories are happy and golden.

Many friends and family have sent us letters and e-mails to tell us how much they enjoyed it, and they seemed to be particularly taken by Birtsmorton Court.  Its architectural stature and beauty, surrounded by the gleaming moat, its well-kept gardens and its lovely romantic atmosphere left a wonderful impression, enhanced by the cordial and efficient work of your staff, and the absolutely delicious food prepared by your catering partners.

Truly, we could not have hoped for anything better.  There was something in the air that day which left hauntingly beautiful and lingering memories.  The initial ‘Wow reaction of our guests simply grew into a wonderful feast of wonders, for which we are all very grateful.  It was also a spacious child-friendly venue, which enabled the adults to relax too.

Birtsmorton Court somehow provided more than the sum of its parts!  And we hope that many more people will derive as much pleasure as we did from holding their special day with you”.

ANNE HARRISS - Mother of the bride (12th May 2007)



 

 “A very big thank you to everyone for making our day amazing.  We had a fantastic day and cannot thank you enough.  Everyone commented on a beautiful setting, food and entertainment.

Thank you for the picture which is now on our wall and reminds us of the great day we had”.

NICK & LOUISE BEARD (19th May 2007)



 

“A big thank you to all the staff at Birts, everyone did their jobs perfectly.  Never have I been anywhere and seen so many happy staff willing to help and enjoying their work!

Teamwork is everything, you have a fantastic team, working hard to fulfil the dreams of couples on their most important day – you succeeded with us”!

STEVE AND RACHEL MILLICHIP (7th July 2007)



 

“Thanks for making our wedding day back in August so special.  We could not have picked a better venue.  Everyone that went will never forget it!”

IAN & KIM SUMMERS (25th August 2007)



 

“Just wanted to say thank you for everything you did in the run up to our wedding and on the day itself.  Dave and I had the perfect wedding day – it really was everything I hoped it would be.  Birtsmorton is a beautiful venue and all the catering staff did a great job.  All our guests have been very complimentary about Birtsmorton”.

CLAIR & DAVID KLING (4th August 2007)



 

“A huge thank you for a fantastic wedding day.  It was the perfect surroundings to celebrate our special day.  Everything was wonderful!

CHRIS & KAREN BATE (27th July 2007)



 

“Just wanted to say the biggest THANK YOU in the world for everything you & the guys did for us on our day.  Everyone at Birtsmorton were amazing, but you were spectacular – we enjoyed the day so much and everything went so smoothly.  I don’t know if anything did go wrong, but we wouldn’t have had a clue if it did!”

2004 - 2006 Testimonials

We just wanted to say "THANK YOU” for making our daughter's wedding day on Saturday such a memorable occasion. As always with this type of event it's the people behind the scenes who bring it all together, and your team's part in this is very much appreciated.

Since selecting Birtsmorton Court as our venue we have had meetings with three different members of staff, Sally, Kathryn and Michelle, (potential for disaster) but their professionalism and dedication ensured the day passed off without any mishaps.

All the guests were very impressed with the venue and how courteous, flexible and helpful all the staff were. They have not stopped talking about it yet. The standard of catering for both the wedding breakfast and the evening pig roast was exceptional and I know that the large Spanish contingent (sorry if they were a bit loud) were very impressed.

I know everyone was envious of Francisco and Rebecca spending the night at Birtsmorton, and the surprise gift of the picture is something they will always treasure, as I'm sure it holds so many happy memories.

So once again please pass on our sincere appreciation to all involved at Birtsmorton for making the day so special - David and Margaret Troth (Parents of the Bride).

Beth and I would like to thank you both for all your efforts and help leading up to and during our big day, we couldn't have wished for a better day with both weather and venue.

We really do appreciate all the behind the scenes work you both did for us which helped the day run so smoothly. You are both a credit to Birtsmorton Court. (Feel free to show this to Simon at your next pay review.)

“There are so many people to thank following a wedding but on behalf of all of us I would like to thank everyone involved in the arrangements for Elizabeth and Charlie's wedding day at Birtsmorton Court, and in particular yourself.

The arrangements for a wedding can be a 'little' stressful at times and you dealt with our stresses with tact, diplomacy and reassurance, and the day itself was entirely without stress (for us anyway). All this was thanks to your attention to detail, Sally. There have been so many complimentary comments from our guests, including:

  • "wonderful gardens, excellent food, unobtrusive but attentive staff and a brilliant atmosphere"
  • "wedding photographers paradise – idyllic"
  • "best wedding and venue we have ever been to"
  • "a very special place to be remembered for ever"

It goes without saying that Birtsmorton Court is an incredibly beautiful setting and if you add sunshine, good organisation and lovely people you are almost guaranteed a wonderful day. We had it all – superbly enjoyable event and we have hundreds of beautiful photographs of very happy people in a beautiful setting to prove it. Again, our thanks to you all and we hope that events at Birtsmorton Court will go from strength to strength - Pamela Davis (Mother of the Bride).

Abi and I wanted to thank you (and your team) formally for all you did to help make 24th September 05 the day we'd dreamt of, and one of the happiest days of our lives. 

We had the day of our dreams and all of our friends and family raved about the venue - it looked wonderful.  Thank you both so much - Birtsmorton Court helped us have the perfect day.

Haydn and I consider ourselves very lucky to have found such a unique venue and to have you as the organisers.  Your style of work really suited us both and we really enjoyed all of our visits to Birtsmorton Court. Our guests had a wonderful day and were all amazed at the beauty of the Court.

It was wonderful to wake up in the Bridal Suite and a great start to our marriage. Both Haydn and I thought that your team looking after us in the evening did a great job and we hope you can pass on our 'thank you' to them.

Words alone can not express our thanks to you. You gave us our dream wedding at beautiful Birtsmorton Court. Everybody had the most fantastic day and were full of praise for the staff, the venue, the food and, of course, yourselves.

We will both genuinely miss you and it was the warmth that you gave us that made the whole wedding experience a happy one. Thank you for giving us the perfect start to our married life.
