- TTanja and Ian19/04/2020The perfect day, the perfect venueThe perfect day, the perfect venueWe got married at Minstrel Court in August 2019 - a stunningly beautiful venue with a relaxed country side vibe. Planning the wedding was very easy, Dave responds very promptly and will help with all ideas. We got ready on site and had the ceremony by the lake and the wedding breakfast in the barn - which is gorgeous! The food was delicious and completely customised. The grounds are so lovely and all our guests enjoyed being outside by the lake, relaxing on the grass on picnic blankets or playing some garden games, before DJ Bob started the dancing in the evening! It was the perfect day.We got married at Minstrel Court in August 2019 - a stunningly beautiful venue with a relaxed country side vibe.
