Notley Abbey Testimonials

We had such an amazing day on Saturday your team on-site were amazing and look after us so well. We had a lot of people say how good they thought the venue was, the service, food and the rooms. We were also very lucky with the weather so we spent a lot of time outside which made the day a little more special.

Thank you for your great support and from the whole Harper team you have been brilliant and ensured our day went so well.

Firstly and primarily a huge thank you to the lady (apologies I can’t quite remember her name) who was there to greet Jack when he arrived and then again when we arrived from the church. She was so organised and thoughtful throughout even bringing us canapes during the photos and arranged the whole set up beautifully. There were many thoughtful touches that she added to the day – Offering us drinks when we arrived, helping me out the car in my dress, telling us not to rush after the photos, taking Jack into the venue to check that everything was done correctly, really putting us at ease during a possibly very stressful day.

As I look back on the day now and in the future I know that these are moments I will never forget.

Secondly I wanted to extend my thanks to the younger members of the team who were so willing and available to help. My dad brought lots of important items to Notley at 11 and when he returned home the first thing he said was ‘there was a line of four people stood there ready to help unload the car’. For full transparency my dad is not the most positive of people, I have never heard him compliment a restaurant or venue i think EVER…but he was positively gushing about how fantastic the day team at Notley were. I wish I got as many compliments as your staff got from him!!! So a huge thank you for this.

Lastly I wanted to expess my thanks to the catering team for what we have been told several times was ‘the besst ever wedding food’. One guest evens said to us ‘I have been to eight weddings this year and this is hands down the best food’. It was all piping hot, perfectly timed, immaculately presented and delicious. I’m still thinking about how good the soup was!

Also thanks for all your help and speedy replies throughout the last year- you have also been so accomodating and organised and keeping us on track for the planner locking with total kindness.

Just wanted to say another thank you. We had the absolute best day ever. Everything went to plan and although I’m sure people were running round in the background, it appeared completely calm and seamless.

It really was everything we hoped and much more!

Thank you for all your help in the lead up.

All the best

Ant & I just want to say a huge thank you for such an incredible wedding at the weekend. Right from the start of our journey, you have all been amazing, in particular Ann our planner. So helpful & kind!

I arrived at Notley on Friday evening and from the moment I arrived with my family & friends, I knew we had the perfect wedding venue. We were greeted on arrival, help was given to unload the cars & dinner was provided! Service was outstanding. Then we go onto the actual wedding day itself and we are both lost for words. There are no words other than you were all incredible. Every single person from the amazing Barbara, who kept us all in order right through to the staff who served dinner and at the bar. All of our family & friends have commented about the beautiful venue & we’re so grateful to you. We’d recommend your venue in a heartbeat & Notley Abbey will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We’ll most definitely be back & forever be scrolling through the photos.

We can’t wait to see the rest of Suzys amazing work.

Many thanks again, from the bottom of our heart

Charlotte & Anthony
