- CCaroline and Neil Yelland09/11/2018A huge thank you to everyone involved in making ouA huge thank you to everyone involved in making ou‘We would like to say just how beautifully perfect our special day was at the gorgeous Mansion house. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, from planning to clearing the venue was just a delight with the help of the team. Our guests have also made comments that they loved the stunning venue, and the food was raved about with comments such as being very tasty, served warm and efficiently. And having the use of the whole house was brilliant, this ensured no where was too busy once the evening guests arrived. I would most definitely recommend the Mansion house as a venue. A huge thank you to everyone involved in making our day as perfect as it was. It was like a fairytale and a dream come true. Also a little tip for future brides, if you are wearing a big dress, use the big dance floor if possible’ ‘We would like to say just how beautifully perfect our special day was at the gorgeous Mansion house.

- RRachel & Michael09/11/2018Every single one of our guests had a wonderful dayEvery single one of our guests had a wonderful dayJust a wee email as we are just back from honeymoon and want to thank you and all of the staff at the Zoo for what can only be described as a brilliant day. Every single one of our guests had a wonderful day and we feel so lucky that we chose your venue.

We can't thank you all enough! We've had no formal photos back yet, but as soon as they are in we will pass them on and will be delighted for you to use any of them. We will certainly be back at The Zoo and look forward to seeing you and speaking to you soon.

- IIan & Fi09/11/2018All our guests had a great timeAll our guests had a great timeWe only have thanks for making the run up and the day itself such a great experience. Thanks to yourself for making the lead-in easy and pass on our thanks to Darren and Alan for executing the day smoothly. The meal was good. For myself the tartlet was a bit lacking in Brie so a bit dry. I really enjoyed the rest of the meal. All our guests had a great time, even my Dad, so that is praise itself! We will forward some of our pictures once we receive them as neither of us took any on the day.

- LLesley09/11/2018It was a wonderful day in a spectacular settingIt was a wonderful day in a spectacular settingI was Mother of the groom at the above wedding and just wanted to send my personal thanks to all who were involved in helping us have such a great time. It was a wonderful day in a spectacular setting and must have taken a lot of hard work from a lot of people. I would like to say particular thanks to Alan, ( for sorting out the cake for me), and to Darren and Taylor for generally helping me out, but especially for their encouragement and help in preparing a special little surprise for the bride on her wedding morning. It made a special day even more special. Thanks so much to all.
