Where do I even start? Victoria and the Stretton Manor Barn team went above and beyond in every aspect. From the first day, we came to look around the barn, we knew where we would celebrate our wedding day.
Victoria, you were incredibly attentive and personable from the first day we met you when you showed us around. We instantly felt like we had so much confidence in you and were right to do so. You were AMAZING!
Nothing was too much trouble, no amount of phone calls and face-to-face meetings was too much – I was never made to feel I was asking too much and always felt I was listened to and supported.
The full package was terrific, and I would recommend this option to anyone – it didn’t mean I had no say in my suppliers; in fact, it was the complete opposite. I chose each supplier and communicated with them, but having the full package meant that Victoria ensured everything was shared with the supplier for a seamless, worry-free day. It also made everything straightforward regarding payment, as payment was made directly to Stretton Manor Barn but distributed to each supplier. Nothing was too much to ask; I was never made to feel there was a cap on what I could have in terms of styling, which was incredible. Victoria offered us amazing recommendations for both the photographer and stylist.
Victoria listened to our vision in terms of the reception drinks too; within the package, it was champagne; however, we felt for our guests and us that prosecco, beers and Pimms would be more suited; this wasn’t an issue at all, and Victoria amended this for us, the drinks were beautifully set-up on arrival after our church wedding, fresh and cold and served by highly attentive staff alongside the incredible canapés. My only regret is not making more time to eat mine than talking.
The venue is perfect as it is, but it’s just the ideal canvas to add your style to make it personal to you, which worked perfectly with the styling by Rustic Rose and the flowers by Debbie at Wildflowers Dronfield.
The day was magical and perfect, and we couldn’t have asked for any more. It was the most unbelievable day for everyone. We have had so many lovely comments from our guests regarding everything from the venue, the service, the food and the general feel of our whole day- many people telling us it was the best wedding they had been to.
As in many of the reviews, the food was exceptional, but not only this, the wine was divine and served very cold, which is important. So many of our guests commented on how good the wine was!
In our opinion, you have thought of everything, so you don’t feel like “another wedding.” we felt like Victoria was on our journey with us and shared our excitement throughout – which was amazing! We feel incredibly grateful that we got the magical wedding we always dreamt of, which wouldn’t have been without everyone at Stretton Manor Barn.
We recommend anyone to have this beautiful venue that feels intimate, surrounded by greenery where nothing is too much; you and your visions are brought to life.
Thank you so so much to all the team at Stretton Manor Barn!
