“The first venue we visited…..”

We wanted a relaxed, weekend vibe venue and after loads of research we decided to visit Sally at Deighton Lodge first. The house, the barn, the garden and fields around and dogs allowed, we were so won over. I remember we stood in the barn and we both just looked at each and were like this is it. Sally was so helpful on every level from start, we did go and look at other venues, but none compared. We could have our own vision, we could have a celebratory weekend not just 24 hours like at other venues and to have all our bridal party stay with us the night before and on the wedding night, just made it so special and memorable to everyone. Sally helped with so much from suggested suppliers to letting us visit with parents and family and to introduce Monty, our cockapoo to the venue. We had a teams and meeting with Angie, again phenomenal, this took such a strain off of us on the day, I honestly hadn’t looked at my phone from leaving the bridal parlour on the day to the following morning, because it just all flowed. The fact we could chose everything we wanted was amazing, from the amazing band @Groove Manuva who did our acoustic aisle and reception music, to the 5 piece Sax band in the evening, they were phenomenal!!!! To the catering, canapes, 7 piece bbq all delivered to the table with sides and copious amounts of evening food. To the bar, which allowed us to bring our own table wine, and we provided glassware and cava for the cava sangria reception drinks. There was a cost for this, for glassware on tables and serving. We were able to set up from Wednesday, so it was so chilled and relaxed getting set up, nothing was an issue. Sally spent hours ironing the canvas the day before, as we had wanted to get married outside, but the weather was meant to be thunder storms, so all moved inside, and Sally and Angie dealt with all that. We did plant sausages the night before, and would you believe the wedding day was sunshine haha!! You couldn’t write it. The bridal parlour was the perfect chilled area for my 5 bridesmaids, 2 flower girls MOB and MOG and myself and my hair stylist and make-up artist.

The day as mentioned was seamless, I felt I didn’t do anything haha, Sally and Angie both were superstars and felt like part of our wedding party. Everything was in keeping of the barn and style and was exactly what we envisioned for our wedding day and weekend. We cannot thank Sally and Angie enough for helping us with everything and the professionalism and care they took, to ensure it was perfect. We had the perfect day, and not anything about it would we change.

If you are looking to do your own thing, whilst still having support and accommodation and the most beautiful venue, look no further. We had the most magical day, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
