What they say.

  • We cannot thank everybody at Preston Court enough for all their hard work, continued support and always going the extra mile to ensure we had our dream wedding. When we looked round the venue in summer 2015 with Anna and Jen we knew it was the venue for us and booked it! (Over 2 years in advance!) This venue is so unique as it has those extra touches like the incredible carousel, gigglebox and resident peacocks Dave and Steve. The staff are incredibly friendly- always! We want to say a special ‘thank you’ to Tiggi for her excellent venue styling, signage making (which will go up on our walls at Home!) and just listening to us and getting our vision for our day. Don’t bother with any other venue styler, she is everything you need and more and is absolutely lovely as are all the staff at Preston court! Thank you, thank you and thank you Preston Court!

  • "The ceremony took place outside in the gardens, on ‘Juliana’s Island’ situated in the lake at Preston Court, we were lucky enough to have beautiful sunshine. Our guests sat on the bank opposite."

  • "To everyone at Preston Court, We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for all your help in the lead up to the wedding, as well as the big day itself. Matt and I had such a wonderful day and our family and friends are still talking about it. We know it would not have gone as smoothly without all your help." Thank you again Ali & Matt P.S. we think there may have been something in your water because my sister, cousin, bridesmaid and myself are all pregnant and are all due in June 🙂 "
