- RRebecca & Toby22/06/2019The perfect country weddingThe perfect country weddingFrom the moment we entered the gates and started down the winding, stoney drive we were in love. This venue ticked all our boxes and the day delivered even more than expected. The team at Lanwades are fantastic - Alex, Elvis, Mason know what they're doing and help to ensure you have a perfect day. We were so lucky with the weather and had games laid out in the garden, along with ice cream and gin and tonics from the Whites Catering company which I also highly recommend. The venue itself is so beautiful, and every time I came back I forgot how big it was. Having lots of different rooms really suited our party and we made use of all the spaces. The bridal suite and accommodation is an added extra, not having to travel after the most tiring day of our lives was a huge plus. I wasn't able to get ready here but I would strong encourage anyone whose ceremony is here or nearby to do so!
