Rebecca & Adam Say...
"It's difficult to know where to begin with describing our experience at The Chimney House and The Mowbray, when it was everything we could have hoped for and more. We knew from the moment we stepped into the venues that our minds had been made up - they were the first places we visited and we didn't look back.
From start to finish, the team made the whole process of planning a wedding so wonderfully easy, to the point that at times we found ourselves worrying about how little we had to do! No ask was ever too much and to top it all off, they were all so amazingly friendly and endlessly helpful. Lucy and the team were always on hand to advise, handle my many requests, calm our nerves on the day and ensure that everything ran so very smoothly. The venues themselves were absolutely beautiful (and very cool), and the food!!! So many of our guests said it was the best they’d ever had at a wedding, and some of the best vegetarian/vegan food they'd had full stop. It also feels important to mention that one of the chefs on the day took the time to speak to one of our guests with a severe allergy, which was such a lovely touch and very appreciated.
We are so genuinely grateful for our perfect day and how the whole team really did just smash it out of the park - which we had absolutely no doubt they would do. We can't thank you enough - our only wish is that we could go back and do it all again!"
