"We felt compelled to write to you after our incredible wedding reception at Greyfriars. Since we first spoke 9 months ago, you made it clear how flexible and friendly you were... Nothing was a silly idea, everything was possible, and we just loved every second of the planning of our day. That's down to you. Everyone adored Greyfriars and thought the whole day ran so smoothly (it did !) And Sally's food was amazing. Passionate, personable and professional - we can't thank you enough !"

Its difficult to express in just a few words the many compliments paid about you and your home".

(Robert and Sandra - Bride's parents)

"There are no words to describe how grateful we are to Greyfriars for helping us to achieve our perfect day. From the moment we first visited Greyfriars we were not only impressed with the beauty of the house but also their very professional yet relaxed manner. They were so enthusiastic and supportive about all our little personal touches which really helped make the day feel like ours. A special mention must also go to Caper & Berry Catering run by Tim Brennan who was there every step of the way. We were very fortunate with the weather - one of the hottest days of the year - but if it had rained we would just have got to use the beautiful house more, a truly weather-independent venue, so useful in the UK ! Wish we could do it all again."

(Emma and Chris)

"...we had such a great day on Sunday - everything went to plan - the food and drink were lovely and we thought Greyfriars looked particularly beautiful with the quite outstanding flowers and colour coordination. Thank you to you and your staff for helping to make such a memorable day for Simon and Clare."

(Alison and Terry - Groom's parents)

“We held our wedding at Greyfriars this spring and the day could not have been more perfect. Even the sun shone all day to take full advantage of those stunning views over most of the south of England. We chose the venue as not only did we want somewhere grand and impressive for our special day, but also somewhere stylish and funky. If you are looking for a unique, personalised, and tailored service you really should look no further. An awesome venue, amazing service from the owners, stunning views, and an overall ambiance that even the Great Gatsby would be envious of. It is most definitely NOT “another formulaic production line” venue. Greyfriars is THE PERFECT venue if you are looking for something that little bit special, and we really and truly couldn''t find any faults with it

(Graham and Kate)

“We held our wedding at Greyfriars in July this year - what a fantastic venue. The owners were so flexible about our requirements and really went out of their way so everything ran smoothly on the day. We had amazing weather on the day and the views over the downs were stunning - a superb backdrop for our photos! Catering by Sally Iddles was sublime - can''t recommend enough. All of our friends and family commented on what a stunning venue it was & how stylish and intimate the day was. We just wish we could do it all again as it went so fast!"

(Diana and Alistair)

“Rebecca and I had a wonderful wedding at Greyfriars. One of our reasons for choosing Greyfriars was the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere of the venue, which allowed us to design the day exactly as we wished.

So many of our guests commented on just how lucky we'd been to get Greyfriars as a venue - it had everything.”

Fabulous catering. In all, a wonderful venue, brilliant people, and a truly magical day for us both. ”
