Dear Jacinta, I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and all the team at New Place. Our wedding was just perfect, and it honestly felt like it was meant to be like that all along. We are so grateful for all your support throughout the whole of our wedding journey (it has been quite a journey) and appreciate the flexibility you have given us to make our day as special as it was.

Dear Jacinta, We just wanted to write to say thank you to you and the rest of the New Place Hotel team for making our wedding day so special. You really went above and beyond to make sure we were well looked after. All our guests were comfortable, everybody had everything they needed and the whole day went smoothly. We can’t say thank you enough!

Jacinta I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your hard work, you were literally the best person to deal with from start to finish and you just made the whole wedding planning (especially from Australia) so pain free and easy. My wedding day was the best day ever and it’s thank you to your amazing staff, beautiful venue and efficiency throughout the whole process.

We wanted to say a massive thank you to you and the staff at New Place for making our wedding day so perfect and special! From the beginning when we found the venue and arranging with Jacinta to book it, we knew it was the place for us, it was just perfect! The amazing Manor House, the lawn and gardens and with the hotel for our guests to stay it was perfect! All along this journey of organising the wedding, you and all your team have been brilliant, so caring and helpful in any questions I needed answering and anything I needed help with so from the bottom of our hearts thank you so much!! Leading up to the wedding you have been so incredibly helpful Kay, you’ve been amazing!! Thank you to replying to all my emails and messages left for you! It helped me immensely to know that I could ask you for help and you would be there to help us ! Meeting the master of ceremonies Nicco and on the day our Master of Ceremonies Eleanor was so brilliant our day went without a hitch and she was there with anything our wedding needed sorting! Can you say a massive thank you to her from us please as she was superb and so lovely and kind! She did an absolutely amazing job!! At the end of the night, the bar staff and others who helped pack our wedding pieces away were brilliant! We spoke to a young lad who was extremely helpful and doublechecking with us what we would like to go in the storeroom. He must do this all the time for weddings, but he made our day feel very special and took great care in looking after our belongings and gifts! Thank you to all of you, you’ve done an amazing job and you’re all a credit to New Place!! All of our guests had the best day and so did we so thank you so much!! Thank you so much for all your hard work, Mr and Mrs Masi X

Just a quick note to all who were involved in our wedding. From the day we met Jacinta when we chose the venue to the billion phone calls I made to Kay in the months leading up to the big day, An absolute huge thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We had the most incredible day and felt like the whole thing was completely taken care of by the wonderful staff of new place. Not only were we treated like royalty, so we’re our guests. No ask was to big or too small and we are so grateful. On the morning of the wedding myself and the bridal party starting getting ready in the Brutus suite, we were greeted by some wonderful staff who took our orders for breakfast and kept checking in on us making sure we had everything we needed. To make breakfast even better they returned with a bottle of bubbly on the house, such a lovely and thoughtful touch. It was nice that we could slowly get ready and graze without worrying whether we would bump into my husband in the dining area!! We would also like to say a massive thank you personally to Eleanor. She was so calm and so helpful from the moment we met her in the morning to the moment she went home. She made sure our day ran smoothly (and if it didn’t we had no idea). My sister was stung by a wasp the moment she came out of the ceremony and Eleanor took her inside and looked after her! We honestly had the most magical day and Eleanor definitely deserves to take an awful lot of the credit. Thank you so much Eleanor, you’ll be a big part of our memory of our wedding day. What a lovely kind member of your team! The venue was beautiful, clean and so picturesque. I can’t wait to see our photos and will send you through some when we get them!! Words can’t describe how happy we are and we will continue to return to New Place to reminisce. Thanks to all Tash and Craig (Mr and Mrs Marsh) Xx

We had an amazing wedding at New Place! From the moment we met Kay we knew our wedding would be in capable hands, nothing was too much trouble and she took the stress away completely. The whole team looked after us so well and all our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was. We are so glad we chose New Place for our wedding and would recommend it to anyone

Our wedding at New Place was the most amazing day and all that we could have wished for. Everyone at New Place has been so helpful from first booking the wedding and answering my endless questions to the very smooth running of the day where they couldn’t do enough for us. All our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves and also praised the staff. Although it was a December wedding we were very lucky with the weather and managed to have all our photos outside and showcase the stunning building and grounds. It was the perfect venue for us and we’re looking forward to reliving the memories on our anniversary stay.

We loved having our wedding at new place last year. The venue is beautiful and the Christmas decorations made the venue extra special and saved on buying some decorations! The wedding planning team were very helpful and helped sort out the fine details of the day which helped the day run smoothly. All of our guests keep talking about how much they enjoyed the food- we chose from standard menu and were pleased with all choices. We think the wedding package is really good value for money compared to other places in the area. Most of our family and friends stayed at the venue before and after the wedding which was so handy to be able to all be on site. We got married in St Johns church around the corner as we were set on a church wedding but the rooms used for the ceremony at the venue also looked really nice. My only criticism would be that the honeymoon suite looked like a standard room and was actually much smaller than the room I stayed in the night before with bridesmaids. We would still definitely recommend New Place as a beautiful wedding venue! Thank you, Lauren and Danny

After looking at a number of venues online we went to see New Place for their wedding fair. It was the first venue we saw in person and we booked our wedding that same day! We knew it was the right venue for us immediately. The key things that appealed to us were: we could do the whole wedding on site, the accommodation is lovely and affordable so guests could stay on site, there were lots of lovely indoor locations that we could do photos of the weather was rubbish, the grounds and hotel are both beautiful, the staff on the open day were friendly and helpful, and it was within our budget!! From the day we booked it the staff here have been amazing. A special thanks to Jacinta, Kay, Socrates, Nicu and Liam - they looked after us so well both in advance and on the day. The wedding day itself went off without a hitch. The staff had everything in hand, I loved the little drinks and cakes they gave us in the Getting Ready rooms, the whole place looked wonderful and everyone who attended said how seamless the day was. Thank you New Place!!

From start to finish our experience with New Place was a wonderful one. Our first appointment involved a tour of the facilities and a talk through the packages and we knew instantly on seeing the ceremony room and the Arden Suite that we wanted this to be the venue. We were then managed through the planning process and lead up to the wedding and all the things we needed to think about. A particular enjoyable part of this was our taster evening for our menus, for which we brought a small group. We got to try six choices from the menu and a selection of wines. The waiter talked us through each dish and wine and we had a thoroughly wonderful evening. It was a perfect way to start getting excited. On the day the staff managed everything for us and it all went smoothly. They had already liaised with our flower, cake and photography suppliers and our DJ so everything was all in place. The ceremony room was beautifully laid out and spotless. The bridal party had been provided a room upstairs to prepare all morning and another separate room was set aside for meeting the registrars. Following the ceremony we were given a glass of fizzy and our guests were all well catered for and as we did photographs in the lovely grounds our guests relaxed in the many areas where comfy chairs were set out. The reception was run especially well. Our guests all received their food quickly and the food was hot and very tasty - something often lacking in a wedding. We had many comments on how lovely the food was. Our wedding manager from the hotel ran proceedings for us all day and knew exactly what was happening and when. By the evening everyone was very merry and all had run smoothly. Overall it was the best day we could have possibly hoped for or imagined. We just wish we could do it all again just to relive it!

Myself and my partner looked at this venue first and didn’t look any further because we instantly fell in love with it. This venue is the perfect setting for a wedding. As I arrived in my wedding car, the gates opened to this lovely Manor House. It is well looked after, very eye catching and classy, adding a touch of elegance. My partner stayed at the venue the night before and she felt so at ease, by how well the staff had it under control. The staff at New Place did everything they could to make the day so special for us, and they did perfectly. Us and everyone who joined the wedding, can’t praise new place enough on how amazing the whole day went. The food at this venue was outstanding, cooked to perfection. We can’t wait to come visit again for our anniversary next year! Thankyou very much for making our special day spectacular, we will cherish this moment forever.

In August 2017, we visited New Place as a potential wedding venue, and within 20 minutes of being there, we had been completely won over! Up until the wedding, Kay looked after us. We really couldn’t have asked for more. By the end of the process, she was more like a friend, we knew that she truly cared about our wedding and wanted our day to be the best for us. I loved that she met Daryl (groom), myself, dad and bridesmaids at the door, gave us a quick hug, looked after my lipstick, primped my dress and just became one of the wedding party! On the day, well! We had the most amazing day. We are still gushing about it now! Every single member of staff went above and beyond to make our day the best it could be, even delivering beers to the groom’s room in the morning without being asked! Our guests gushed about the incredible dinner service, and all remarked on the delicious food and professionalism of the staff. Nicu was fantastic as master of ceremonies. He took all of the stress out of the day, shouldering it himself. One of my favourite photos is of him running from my wedding car to let everyone know I had arrived! He preempted every little wish or need and it didn’t matter how busy he was during the day, he always gave us whatever time we needed with him, talking us through the timetable and making it so easy! Liam was great, he looked after us fabulously from the first dance to the very end! Oh and a big thank you to Liam for hiding the straws for Daryl - can’t forget that plastic pledge, not even on your wedding day! Thank you everyone. We had the most wonderful and happy day. Oh and thanks for arranging the gorgeous weather!

We just wanted to thank you all so much for making our wedding day so special. Your knowledge and expertise of how the day runs was extremely appreciated. Thank you for all your support and guidance in the lead up to our big day. Especially for answering my frantic emails and putting me at ease. You were wonderful! Can you please also pass on our gratitude to Nicu and Liam who went over and beyond to look after us on the day. Our guests loved them! What superb representatives of the hotel they both are. Finally, we would like to thank all of the bar staff, waiting staff and other hotel staff that work so hard to uphold such a high standard of New Place. So many people commented on how fantastic the service was. We are so pleased we were able to get married at New Place and it’s a day we will never forget, so thank you again.

I still smile when I think of our wedding day, it was an absolute dream. I can highly recommend New Place to anyone looking to book their wedding. As my family had to travel I wanted to be able to hold both the day & evening in one Place & I loved the idea of a Manor House. New Place proved the perfect venue & all our guests complimented the beautiful setting, smooth running of the day & wonderful staff. Nothing was too much trouble, and we felt like royalty! We were really looked after by the team particularly on the day, they seemed to take care of every minor detail & it was easy to relax knowing everything was being taken care of. I wish I could do it all again! Thank you New Place xx

We got married at New Place on 1st September 2018 and we had both the ceremony and reception in the Arden Suite. We had the most amazing day; all of the staff were unbelievably helpful and Nicu, Liam and their team could not be faulted. We obviously had high hopes going in but the experience exceeded them in every way. Our food was also excellent (Ham Hock Terrine, Pulled Beef and Chocolate Torte) and the way that the service was managed, with everyone on a table being served simultaneously, was something that we've not encountered at a wedding or large function before. Overall we wouldn't hesitate to recommend New Place to anyone for their big day and if we could do it again tomorrow we would. Brilliant! Sarah and Geoff.

New Place was incredible from start to finish. From planning our day, keeping us informed, always having time for us to the actual day. On the day the wedding planner and master of ceremonies were available all day and attended to anything we wanted. Everyone was so helpful and made the day flow effortlessly. All staff were very friendly and without them, we would not have had such a smooth, wonderful wedding day. The package was perfect, the venue was perfect and the service to us and all our guests was perfect. They let us bring our own games and wedding cake (which was very important to us and some wedding venues don't allow you to bring your own cake). We couldn't fault New Place and if we could do it all over again would still get married at New Place. Thank you so much! Sarah and Jason

New place is just wonderful, we had the most amazing wedding day & day/night beforehand, the venue is beautiful and just simply perfect. The staff really do go above and beyond to help in any way possible and on the day tried to not let me lift a finger! The food, service and rooms were great and we had no complaints from any of the guests- which was over 80 people. Nearly a year on and I still think New place is just perfect it’s exactly what we were looking for and we are just so happy that everyone involved wanted our day to be as perfect as we did, my only wish is we could go back and do it all again. Special thank you to Karina and Francesca for their patience with me and for doing their jobs so amazingly. Wonderful price too! We’ve not got a bad word to say about the whole experience :)

What a beautiful venue, we could not recommend it enough, the grounds are beautifully kept, food is delicious, the accommodation great and the staff are wonderful! From the minute we began planning our wedding the dedication from the team was seen, from little reminders here and there to always being down the end of the phone for a panicking bride a few weeks before! The whole process is amazing especially with meetings close to the day just to make sure everything has been done and is ready for the big day. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so perfect! A huge thank you to Kay and Nicu, what amazing people to have as part of your team. Kay was brilliant from day one and helped everything fit together, nothing was too much to ask. Nicu helped to make the day go smoothly and genuinely puts his heart and soul into every little detail. We can't wait to visit on our first anniversary!

From the moment we contacted New Place to see if they could host our wedding only six months later, they could not have been more helpful. The venue itself is absolutely amazing and the moment we saw it for the first time we knew it was the right choice. Not only was it a tight schedule but we had half the guests travelling from Estonia where we now live. The suggestions about the day itself were top notch and every suggestion or need that we had was easily agreed to. Kay helped us find a cake, decorations, flowers and we were not disappointed with her recommendations. Almost constant changes to dates and rooms was met with patience and humour so we never felt worried. The regular communication between ourselves and Kay Hicks at New Place was the key and we will never be able to thank her and the rest of the team enough. They organised a food tasting for us so there were no menu surprises. We stayed there a month or so before the wedding to get the feel, and all the staff knew about our upcoming special day. It was like the wedding had started already. The week of the wedding as guests started to arrive, they were warmly welcomed by all the staff and made to feel at home straight away. The organisation of the day itself was so good, we never for one moment had to worry and we could really enjoy the whole weekend. Nico, was our Master of Ceremony and he kept everything calm and fun. Every one of the photographs of the day shows people (and staff) laughing and smiling. Our family and friends told us that this was one of the most fun weddings they had ever attended and this was in no small part down to our great hosts (and now friends) at New Place. Thank you for making our day so special!

Lee and I are extremely happy we held our big day at New Place. The entire team couldn't do enough for us whether it was help with suppliers, food tasting decisions or general questions on how the day will go. I found everyone was extremely helpful. The day itself was amazing and Liam ensured myself or Lee did not have to lift a finger and the day ran so smoothly I was surprised myself. All the little touches they provided really made it special. Thank you to the whole team and we are excited to return for our 1 year anniversary :)

New Place was our Third venue we went to visit as a potential for our Wedding Day. As soon as we turned up we were awed by the beautiful appearance of the manor house which has a beautiful gate out the front and a lovely vintage character to it. We had our initial meeting with our wedding co-ordinator (Amelia) who was very helpful and polite and gave us all the information we needed. She was also on hand to answer any questions I had by email or phone. Halfway through I was informed that Amelia had moved on and that we would be given a new Wedding co-ordinator, which made me feel quite anxious as there had been so many discussions between myself and Amelia and feared that we would have to start all over again when we were already halfway through the planning process. I was soon informed that Kay would be taking over from Amelia and would be my go to person if I needed anything, so I arranged a visit with Kay to ensure that we were singing off the same Hymn sheet. Kay made us feel very welcome and was very chatty, she was knowledgeable on all subjects relating to our wedding which instantly made us feel at ease. On the day of the Wedding I rose very early at 5.00 am and was allowed access to the Bridal Prep room from 6.00am which was very helpful as we had 6 people to get ready with Hair & Make up. This also allowed me the time to set up my groom’s room with treats and their suits for them to get ready, the rooms were on opposite ends of the manor house meaning there was no worry of bumping into my future Husband. I had informed Kay that the girls and boys would need to eat breakfast at different times as not to bump into each other and we were informed when we could go down to eat breakfast (which is very helpful especially when you have so much going on the morning of your wedding). As soon as Nicu (Master of Ceremonies) arrived at New Place he came up to greet us and ensure all was running smoothly. He was on hand if we needed anything. He was very attentive and made me feel relaxed knowing that he was loaded with all the information to ensure our day flowed smoothly. From Start to Finish I could not have asked for a better day. The staff were on top form all day and we didn’t have a single grumble about anything. All in the all we just wanted to say how grateful we are for everything. All the staff throughout the whole process and on the day went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience and couldn’t recommend New Place enough.

We married at New Place on Sunday 31st December 2017. Some family and friends stayed the evening before and the whole occasion was perfect from start to finish. The staff were outstanding, the food amazing and every detail to make it special and magical was in place with nothing being too much trouble. Thank you to everyone, we have so many wonderful memories and look forward to returning in the future.
